Go Team! This forum is set up for us to post our updates for the September Tribal Challenge. First thing everyone will need to either post or email me (if you're shy about it ;) is your starting weight on Thursday. The following are some guidelines.

Weigh - IN
Thursday you will need to each email me your beginning weight. If you're not shy about it you can post it in the team forum.
Each monday morning you will need to message me with your ending weight.
As a team we receive points for the % of weight you have lost.

Daily Challenges
When you send me your new weight on Monday I need you to list if you did each daily challenge. If you missed a day or two please let me know. Remember if you miss a daily exercise challenge you can make it up for that week. So if you have a bad day, double up the next. If everyone on your team does the daily exercise challenge your team will get bonus points. The same with the weekly team challenge.

Weekly Team Challenges
These consist of exercise and non exercise goals. For instance if your team every day meets their calorie goal, drinks their 64oz of water they will get the weekly team challenge credit. In order to get the weekly everyone needs to do this goal.

A sample of what you will post in the forum on Monday morning:

Current weight. (please don't send me lbs lost I just need the number)
Dailies: I did all 6 days this week.
Weekly: I hit the weekly challenge this week!

    Try to get in the habit of posting your foods now before the challenge starts... we have a few practice days before it starts counting. Also, they tweaked the rules a bit - points will be awarded based on percentage weight lost instead of total pounds, which will really help our team. We are starting out a bit slimmer than some other teams, so percentage will give us some advantage.

    Connie - entering everything into the database. We have several people on our team that are new to MFP that haven't had to keep up the calorie count before.

    Fran - keep in mind that you can eat back your exercise calories! Since you typically do 2 hour long workouts per day, you need to eat more to give your body fuel for all that working out you do! Make sure that you are entering workouts into the program as well so you know how much you can eat.

    Point scoring system:

    The scoring is as follows. I hope this is simple. If you have questions I’ll answer them for you.
    • 1 point for percentage weight lost per team member
    • 1 point for each team member who does their daily exercise challenge (1 point per member)
    • 1 point for the other weekly challenges (water intake, staying under calories etc.) Each week
    different challenge per member
    • (you will put 1 in the excel spreadsheet)
    • BONUS POINTS
    o Daily Exercise – If every team member logs the daily exercise as doing it for all 6 days
    Mon – Sat. You may award your TEAM an extra 5 points
    o Weekly Challenges – if every team member log the weekly challenge as doing it for all 6
    days Mon – Sat. You may award your TEAM an extra 5 points

    Is everyone excited for this challenge? I know I am, and I know that makes me an exercise junkie... but bring it! We can handle this.

    My official weigh in for starting the challenge is 137. I am getting closer to where I want to be :) but... That just makes it harder to lose the last few pounds, so I will be doing the advanced exercises for this challenge.

    Alright team I still need weigh-ins for April, Blair, Monika, and Sydney. Feel free to private message or email it to me. I was having a hard time posting mine on this forum today because we all know each other!!!

    Also funny to note that April, Johanna, Monika, Fran and I were all together eating chocolate cake tonight in preparation for tomorrow... Bring it on, September! We had our splurge.
