Maybe take an average instead of just a total point score? If we're taking total points and then dividing by active team members, it should come out pretty fair.

Also, if you're not going to participate, then you shouldn't join a challenge. Granted, I'm here because someone dropped out, but I wouldn't have jumped in if I thought that I wouldn't have the time to devote to it. If you're going to be gone, you should coordinate with your team captain ahead of time. If you don't do that, I think you should either be kicked out or put on probation.

Ok so heres what I am going to do. I feel like we need some set rules to keep this thing going another 4 and a half months. I will be working on a solution and try to incorporate everything you all have said and come up with something that is going to work in the long term. When I started this my main goal was to make some awesome friends that I could get and give support. So really goal accomplished.

What I will do is I will message the three team captains once I feel I have a fair and long term solution and see what they think then once we are all in agreement, the team captains will send the messages out to the team.

Is everyone ok with that?

I swear I'm copying and pasting everything but for some reason the first img isn't going through. I guess I just won't have the cool signature

I think if the other members are not as dedicated as everyone else thatn they need to leave the group. The team leaders have enough to do than go around checking on everyones attendence. If they dont check in every 2-3 days then they should be cut from the group.

I can't speak for anyone else but my best friends son died and she needed me and I had some personal issues on here. I'm very thankful that my team leader didn't get rid of me.

hopespringseternal

Ok, just did 50 leg lifts and 50 crunches. 200 DONE!!!!

That situation is understandable. In cases where you know you may be mia for awhile you can just let us know, so the team leaders are trying to hunt people down.

You let us know though honey, thats the difference. Im talking about people who just dip out and never say anything and never check in..

Finished 50 crunches and 50 leg lifts, of course I did them seperatly!! lol

I don't know if ya'll have tried Body Combat but I think I might die!!!! I totally loved it!!!!!!!

I took a quick look at the new plan and I think it can work.

As for today C25K done, and it wasn't that bad. I think a couple more days of Week 3 and I'll be ready to move on. 200 arm exercises done! And all this with an ear infection, not too bad. But seriously, and ear infection. I don't think I've ever had one before. Silly kids probably stuck a slobbery finger in my ear.

I just want to say I really appreciate all the support. I am really feeling accountable for each day, which I need.

I have notified clsmith1733 (Amanda) that she has been removed from the challenge. I told her if she felt she could be an active participant at another time to let me know. So now the WLWP are down to 7 active members.

There has been some issues with people dropping so I wanted to come up with a solution that will span the rest of the challenge. Sorry this is so long but please read it and let me know if you have any questions.

Here is what the team captains and I have come up with:

Points will be given for completing the daily challenges. The teams points will be averaged and multiplied by 8 (numbers on each team originally). Therefore there will be no advantages based on team size. The points for weight lost is already based on % of their New Years Goal, that will be averaged and multiplied by 8 as well.

The August Challenges are/will be:
Make up Monday(making up for the weekend ;o)): You have to weigh in with your team leader by 3 est on Monday and you have to either stay under your MFP calories or not more than 10% over.

Triathlon Tuesday: You have to do 45 minutes of exercise (preferably 3 – 15 minute workouts, but 45 minutes straight works too), 90 minutes equals double points

Watered Down Wednesday: You have to drink at least 64 oz of water, 128 oz = double points

Hot 100 Thursday: You have to do 100 reps of any exercise (e.g. crunches, squats, pushups, etc.), 200 reps = double points.

Fresh & Fiber Fridays: Eat at least the MFP recommended Fiber and get a point, and eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables per this site: http://www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov/downloads/General_Audience_Brochure.pdf and get one point.

Weekend: Team Calorie Burn Challenge: 10 points to the team with the most points (will be averaged like points above) 5 points to the second place team and 0 for third.


This will change each month. Each month a different team and its leader will be responsible for setting the challenges. September will be Team Abnehmen/Dave. October will be Team Thin It to Win It/Lauren. November will be Team Weight Loss Warrior Princesses/Emily. December will be the three team leaders and myself together.

Now for the unpleasant part… You will be replaced/removed from the team if….
- you miss a weigh in w/out notifying your team leader by 4:30 on Monday
- you have not logged in for more than 3 days (i.e. 4 days or more = gone) unless you have notified your team leader in advance.

If members are dropped or drop out themselves it will be the option of each team and its leader as to whether they will be replaced.

Finally 4 months is a long time, if you do not feel you can be completely committed, please let us know. It is ok and no one will be mad. It is hard for the team leaders to have to hassle you and track you down to get your information each week.

I want to thank everyone for answering the call to do this. You’ve all done such a great job. Together we have lost 70 lbs in three weeks. That is pretty awesome. We still have 1100 lbs to lose, so let’s stick with this!!!”
