Hello my Beautiful Cruisers! I hope everyone is getting excited as the days near! Our challenge will start this Thursday! From now on this forum will be our main communication page. If you have and questions/comments please post it on here. That way we can keep track of everything and stay connected!

There will be 2 levels of challenges. A basic low impact workout and an advanced (BUSHMEN) high impact workout. I highly encourage everyone to mix and match but this is not required. (remember though, the harder you work the better your results and loss will be!)

RAISING OUR SPEARS IN SEPTEMBER AND WE’RE GOING TRIBAL!

Thank you so much for being part of the team for this MFP Challenge. I believe this is one of the largest MFP Challenges to date and it’s all made possible by you! We have over 700 people doing this challenge!!You folks really are ROCKSTARS!

The scoring is as follows. I hope this is simple. If you have questions I’ll answer them for you.

• 1 point for each pound 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.)
-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


SO HERE IS WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
*Please send me a message with your Current (starting) weight on Wednesday night or Thursday morning!
*Log in daily (track your food)
*Do you best to complete the daily exercises (make sure to let me know when you have completed it. You can do this by sending me a message daily or by sending me a message once a week. For Ex; "I completed the daily work outs for Monday-Saturday.")
*Drink tons of water!
*I need your high spirits and dedication!
*I need you to have fun!

It's time to fight and I know you are all ready to kick the crap out of those calories!!

This is all honor based so please be honest.
We are all counting on each other so please make sure to do your best! We are only as strong as our lest strongest member!
NOW LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!! :tongue:

    Someone is going to have to remind me to add in my water. I'm like a freaking fish, I always drink at least 8 glasses, so I never bother logging it in, hahaha.

    Well thats where i come in!! Now track your water!!! haha

    I'm currently (for the 5th time-No Joke!) working on our team banner! Right when i think i have everything perfect.... something gets screwed up!! But i hope/pray/think i have everything right this time. The only thing wrong now is Lirpa1976 hasn't logged on for 6 days! and i'm afraid to add her name to the banner becuase if we need to replace her then i have to make the whole thing over agian!!!!! ERR! But i think I'll look for a new teammate right now!

    I believe it's still % lost but i'll have to double check on that on. Yes there will be Youtube videos provided for the work outs. Our normal weigh in days will be on Sundays. But i really don't like that so maybe as a team we can agree on Friday as weigh in days instead. :)

    Nobody is going to let anyone down as long as they're doing there best! Scales are horrible so i'm glad this challenge doesn't depend on just what the scale says. :)
