Team Thin It to Win It was in charge of planning October’s fun-filled Halloween themed challenges. Please read these carefully.

Total possible individual points possible: 14

Total possible team points: 122

***********If you need clarification on any of these please let me or Lauren (dipsl19) know. If you cannot do these exercises, please contact me and we will work out an alternative exercise for you to do. Please do this asap. Once we have worked out an alternative, I will let your team captain know.********************

I wanted to add a few things to try to help motivate everyone..

We now have 3 months left in the challenge. I wanted to give you an update of our overall progress to date and how far we have to go:

Total Goal to Lose 1,153 pounds.
Lost 184 pounds or 16%
To go… 969 lbs or 84%
We have burned 126,447 calories during the weekend challenge, which is 36 lbs.

Our Top 5 Losers:
Gwynne: 19.5 lbs.
Jeanie: 17.3 lbs.
Lorie: 17 lbs.
Marti: 13 lbs.
Naomi: 12 lbs.

In October we have the possibility of earning 14 points each or 112 (without the calorie burn challenge points), so let’s shoot for 100 pts per team per week.

As a group, according to our MFP tickers, we have lost 457 lbs. Can we make it to 1,000 by the end of the year????

Remember this:

If you have made mistakes there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start at any moment you choose, for this thing called failure is not in the falling down, but in the staying down.

LET’S DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm loving the October challenge titles! Can I just say thanks for the weekend challenges in advance? I think they're really going to help me keep control of drinking and whatnot that seems to happen during the weekend.

Question on the fresh meal challenge. Do frozen veggies count as packaged foods? I'm talking green beans and corn, not tater tots or broccoli with cheese sauce.

I say as long as they are plain, no butters or other seasonings on it, that would be fine. Sometimes good fresh veggies aren't easy to find.

If you ever want to burn this many calories, spend ALL day [8 hours] helping someone move from a third floor apartment. I surely won't be doing that again any time soon!!!!!! My calves are STILL burning!!!!!

feydruss

Excited for October. Just the last few days I've totally ramped up my game, knowing that I'm with you guys. Ready to kick some butt!

Such an awesome week for everyone. I'm super excited about the October challenges.

Whew....really feeling this week's workouts.

And I have another tonight and tomorrow.

I don't think I'll be able to walk this weekend!

Twinmom1221

I am so excited for Ocotober's challenges. For whatever reason I feel like I have stalled this month. I'm ready for something new!

Twinmom1221

I have another October question. If necessary as the month goes on can we swap days on our own. Right now I'm thinking that some Wednesday nights I might not be able to do the fresh meal (just do to our schedules) but would like to make sure I do that once a week. Can I earn the points if I made a new fruit/veggie fresh meal on a Tuesday for example?

Twinmom1221

I think I'm making Wednesday's too difficult, but I'm also making my menu for October so things are on my mind. Can things like canned chicken broth be used for our fresh day or would that be considered processed?

I'm curious about this too, because in all honesty, unless we count reheating something I made fresh on Sunday I'm probably never going to get the points for this as I'm looking to start a kickboxing class that would meet on Wed.

wvualum

I have no problem with anyone substituting days. As long as you get it in during the week, it works for me.

Woohoo!! Good to know!

DancinSMartiPants

I also think it would be cool to be flexible about when the fresh meal happens. But I am super excited to see people's recipes. I need more ideas, people.

As to the chicken broth conundrum my first thought was to say it shouldn't count as fresh. But on second thought I think that you should read the ingredients. If it says like, "Chicken, salt, thyme, water" I'd say probably. If it says, "Monoblahblahblah, high poly blankety-bank, etc." I'd say no.

Twinmom1221

I think I'll go with if the ingredients are actual food it is good. I know I can use water in place of broth but it will lose flavor. I'm also looking forward to people's recipes and ideas. Although I don't think I have anything too exciting planned.
