    TEAM CHUAY GAHN!!!

    Have a look at the top of the forum page for this week...

    The top batch of exercises is ADVANCED - the bottom batch is for BEGINNER / MID-LEVEL. Every week they will be sent out like that. You can do whichever you like - but please report which you did in the forums (here).

    I am waiting to find out for sure from Gary how we are supposed to start it up! If we start on Thursday (9/1) then our weigh-in's will no longer be on Sunday. Our week would run from Thursday to the following Wednesday - the Wednesday would be rest & weigh-in day, then we would start the next week on Thursday. However - if we wait until Next Monday - we will miss several days of September! I will post in here when I find out for sure.

    ALSO - please note - I had sent out a message at one point that we would NOT be scored for participating in the daily challenges. I WAS WRONG!!! We still get points. AND - we will still get bonus points if EVERYONE participates in all 6 days of the challenges!!! So - if you are feeling like SLACKING - remember - you are taking points AWAY FROM YOUR TEAM if you skip out on a challenge. If there is an illness - let me know and plan to 'make it up' or do a modified challenge, etc.

    I have had a bit of a rough time gathering data for the spreadsheets - so for ease of use - ALL REPORTING MUST HAPPEN HERE OR IN OUR MFP MAIL. Please report in the following format.

    "Week 1, Day 1"

    "Exercise challenge - done (BUSHMEN or PYGMY)
    "Team challenge - done" (DRANK ALL WATER, UNDER CALORIES, 200 CRUNCHES TOWARD GOAL... etc.)

    "Any extra data"

    I will send this message via MFP mail today to make sure everyone is aware. Following that - I am not going to hunt you down and very seldom will I send things via MFP mail. If you do not report in the forum or via message - I will enter a 0 for you for that day and our team will lose the bonus points. If that seems too hard-line for you - you should consider switching teams or dropping from the challenge.

    Most of my communication will be via forum. That is where I will post the exercises for the week. If you do not have access to the website - I need to know NOW so that I will know to expect your updates via MFP mail and so that I can post the daily challenges. I will cheer you on, I will compliment you when you do well, I will coach you when you fall off, but I will not force you to be here. (I expect you all to do the same for the rest of the team.) You have entered this challenge by choice - please be courteous to the rest of your team mates and choose to participate fully.

    Please provide me with your starting weight by Thursday morning (9/1) and with your weight loss goal. I would also appreciate having your personal e-mail address (I will 'hopefully' be sending a new team logo) and if you would introduce yourself. Some of us are new - and don't know anyone - so yes - even if you were on my August team - please introduce yourself again. (Copy and paste from our August WEEK 1 if need be.)

    OH YEAH BABY - WATCH OUT - TEAM CHUAY GAHN (HELP EACH OTHER) IS GOING ALL TRIBAL ON SEPTEMBER!!!

    Info about me... mostly from my profile...

    I have been a big girl since I was about 10. I am tired of it. I have had enough of people gawking and little kids walking past telling me something I already know - I AM FAT.

    The couple of straws that broke the camels back... First - in August 2010 - around 280 pounds, I could not fit in a regular airplane seatbelt. I had to have an extender. SO EMBARASSING. I started losing a bit because of that. Then - earlier this year - I wanted SO BADLY to donate a kidney to a local lady that needed a transplant but I could not. WHY?? Because I was MORBIDLY OBESE according to the charts. That was it. I love to help people and I couldn't even do that because of my size.

    So - here I am - not just part of a challenge - but a team lead. Because it forces me to be more accountable. If I expect you all to do it - then I really HAVE to do it!!!

I am a chronic dieter, this has caused me to constantly gain weight, Right now I have 60% of body fat and that hurts. I am ready for the skinny me to shine so I am here ready to go tribal. So in my cheerleaders voice, let;s do this GO TEAM.:angry::explode: :mad:

    Hello Everyone!
    I am Emily, 27, married and in the Coast Guard. i recently met my goal weight so now my goal is just to get toned. I will get an "official weigh in" tomorrow. Yesterday I weighed myself but not on my normal scale so I want to see what my normal scale says.
    My primary purpose in losing weight was to finally not be batteling with the Coast Guard's weight standards. I am now 25 under my maximum allowable weight and it feels great that I don't need to starve myself bi-annually to keep my job!

    Hello Team:

    I'm Shannon 42, single mom of 2.... I have always been active, and my weight varies up and down. Currently I'm just 3 lbs shy of my goal weight! I love MFP and the challenges, as it keeps me accountable! I'm looking to tone and be able to run a 10K without thinking I'm going to die the entire time!

    I look foward to September's Challenge and can't wait to see where it leads us at the END! Go team go!

    LADIES!!! I am excited to see some of you going advanced! That is great!! I will be sticking with the BASIC for the most part - but if I see something new I want to try from the advanced - I will add it in!

    NEW FOLKS - here is what I expect from you today. Stay under your calorie goal, drink at least 8 cups of water, complete the exercise challenge. That is in ADDITION to what you would normally do. If you normally walk 30 minutes per day... you are adding the squat kicks, etc. to that. REPORT in the format I listed previously - either in the weekly forum or via MFP mail.

    If you have any ideas or suggestions - I am open to them. I can't wait to see the results at the end of the month!!

    WE ARE GONNA BE GREAT!!

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

    Welcome and thank you so much for being a team captain for this MFP Challenge. I believe this is one
    of the largest MFP Challenges to date and it’s all made possible by you! You folks really are WARRIORS!
    If a team member is unable to fulfill their place a replacement can be made please update your
    spreadsheet.

    September 1st Deadline
    · Make sure you have contacted each team member and given them your forum post link
    · Obtain everyone’s starting weight as of September 1st or the night before
    · Post the weekly challenges to your team forum prior to September 1st and prior to each week
    · End of the week tally your teams points (this can be done daily if easier)
    · Add Bonus Points at the end of the week where applicable

    The scoring is as follows. I hope this is simple. If you have questions I’ll answer them for you.
    · 1 point for each % 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

    Each week you will email me your Team Name and your total points! This is all honor based so please
    be honest and encourage your team to be honest.

    That’s it. The next email coming later this weekend will be the team challenges. Let’s Step It UP in
    SEPTEMBER AND GO TRIBAL!
