    OK I have a plan of attack tell me what you guys think. I like to watch at least one movie before I got to bed I plan on watching that movie and doing step ups the only thing that will suck is counting them. I think if we do at least 45 minutes of step ups a night we can win this. I have no stairs to use so I cant count actual steps and I also have to do step ups at the gym on weight days but its with weights and the step comes up to the tp of my knee OUCH. I am thinking if we can all find something in our house the is about as tall as a step and do step ups on it we will kill it man. What do you think?

    YES . . I totally agree. You can even use a step stool at home (that's what I plan on using, a Rubbermaid step stool) and I have stairs at my house, thank goodness. A double flight to my front door. BTW, Tira just informed me that only the "up" steps count, not steps going down. UGH I was counting them all tonight. Should we make a daily goal or just leave that up to the individual team members?

    GO PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have this in the bag!! :smile:

    I think that we should set personal goals but post it here to let everyone on the team know that way you will push harder. I think the first night we see how far we can get then we start to make our goals and we do more and more every night and post our results here and the next days goals. I will start tonight and after I am finished I will post what I did and my goals for the next evening. I think this will push us all to do better. What ya think.

    How can we join a team??????? I would love to do this!

    vikesfanmb Posts: 291 Member
    Season 2 is closed actually to new members. But I believe there will be a season 3 that you can join! :smile: I would suggest befriending MFPBiggestloser (that's the username) and you can follow along with the rest of season 2 and get the inside "scoop" on when the next season starts.

    Good luck to you! :smile:

    :smile: Well, my Purple ladies . . tonight must have been my "extra boost of energy" night because I've already done a little over 3000 steps today and I still planning on doing a few more! I rocked out almost 2400 at the gym alone!

    I'm trying to "make up" for the last couple of days when I only had around 700 steps.

    How is everyone else doing? :smile:

    Hi guys ... I know my step count was low, but it was because I had to run a half marathon on Saturday (which I did and I rocked it).

    I would love to stay on ... but I understand being the new person to this team that I am likely going to be voted off.

    Let me know who you would like me to vote for..

    Don't worry about your step count. I feel bad that we have to "choose" someone to vote off at all . . it seems so early in the "game" but I am willing to transfer my immunity to anyone else if they so desire. I am getting pretty close to my goal weight at this point
    and feel like I've hit a plateau of sorts.

    I do NOT think that in any way shape or form that you should give up your immunity! You earned it!

    I suppose we could just leave this up to each individual person to vote for whomever they choose . . . but it just seems really unfair to the new gals.

    Ok ladies I wanted to let all of you guys in on a little secret. I do abs 5 days a week I do 3 rounds of 20 situps so that is 60 a day. I was thinking if we all dropped and did 20 sit ups and pushups 3 to 4 times a day we will kill this challange. I can do my whole ab routine in about 15 min and all together that is 60 situps and 42 ball passes and 60 side sit ups. So it will tajke no time at all to do 20 situps and if you do three rounds of 20 three times a day that would be 180 sit ups a day. I think all you girls willrock it out. I have a hard time with pushups but I will be attempting the same thing for them. Good luck to you all and i am looking forward to seeing everyones progress I think all of us can beat him and the whole team get immunity COME ON GIRLS LETS START TONIGHT!!!!!!

    I am most definitely starting tonight . . no time like the present to get MOVING!! I have to be honest, sit ups and push ups are not my thing and I've never been very good at them . . but I am going to try my little heart out. I won't let Team Purple down! And thanks for the pep talk, Rachel! :smile: You are a fitness rock star, my friend!
