    can someone please explain the excel spreadsheet to me? So I typed in everyone's starting weight (replacing the 100) and it's already giving me a weird percentage loss. Even though we haven't lost any weight yet. will it all work out once the other numbers are punched in?

    And can someone explain the difference between daily exercise challenge and Daily team challenge. From my understanding the daily exercise challenge is obviously the daily exercise but is the daily team challenge staying under your daily calories and proper amount of water intake? Just need that cleared up if someone can help. Thank you!

    When you type in the next set of weights, it will give you the correct percentage lost. The amount that is showing now is as if each member lost 100 lbs. from the starting weight. You get a point for each team member who does the weekly challenge as well as a point for every lb. lost. You get an extra 5 points if every team member does the weekly exercise and if every team member does team weekly goal.

    Daily excercise challenge are the exercises you do on your own each day (i.e. 30 squat kicks and 50 jumping jacks), and the weekly team goals are things that your team is supposed to try to do each day of the week (i.e. drinking 62 oz. of water every day).

    hope that helps.

    If someone doesn't get an answer in here please message me. I'll help.

    I'll be updating the spreadsheet tomorrow to include 5 weeks.

    You are all doing awesome keep up the great work. remember the spreadsheet and points is all easily fixed so if you get behind we have until Sept. 30th to get it all straight. Just make sure you get those Starting and Ending Weights (SW, EW)
    Thanks,

    Gary

    Captain of Team Nanoose here :) Question about the bushmen exercises for my team:

    They are to be done in the tabata method (4 minutes etc, etc) NOT that they are supposed to do a tabata workout and then on top of that do the other exercises, right? The wording on one of the posts had me confused. Thanks for your help!

    Do a Tabata workout first. There is a series of different ones you can use... just YouTube "You Have Four Minutes Tabata" and there's at least 10 on that channel.

    Then do the Bushman workout of the day. I have been entering mine as circuit training in MFP.

    Hello Fellow Captains

    On our teams Google spreadsheets.....

    Do I start tracking on week one for Sept 1st- Sept 3rd, as Sunday the 4th is a rest day?

    There are only 4 weeks on the sheet.

    Thank you!

    Gary said to enter 1 point each for Mon, Tues, Wed this week as that would be the easiest fix for the short week. I believe he will be sending us an updated spreadsheet soon with a 5th week added.

    I am a new captain & never done tribal challenge before.
    Our leader stepped down as she has other challenges in her life.
    She is still on our team but she asked me if i would step up as leader for her.
    Also we've had one person on our team leave.... she actually deactivated her account.
    So for now we're down 1 person.

    No problem, have you added Gary as a friend on here? If not you should, he had that posted in a status one day. Good luck this week :)

    One of my Tribeswomen had this request - I wish there was an alternative "mileage" if you ride a stationary bike instead. Like...3 miles on the bike for every 1 mile walk.

    I know we allowed walk/run/jog/bike/swim for the 100 mile team challenge last month... Is this acceptable or no?

    Sonia, if I haven't told you yet your signature pic is STUNNING.

    Ok, so I just got asked this question and I think there shouldn't be a limit on the extra points. What do you all think?

    "Oh I'm in the PYGMY group, so is there a limit of 1 point a day bonus? Like today I've already done 5 miles and I planned on doing 4 more tonight. so 9 - 1.5 challenge mile = 7.5 bonus points? "
