OK we need a Team name any suggestions? Team Sizzle, Team Victorious Secret, Team e-LEMON-ators, Team Viscious and Delicious, Team Gym Class Heroes, Red Hot Oompa-Loompas

Haha. Those are such cute suggestions. I'm never that creative.
I like Team Victorious Secret. :P

tbhoover

I second Team Victorious Secret )

Are we supposed to submit today's weight...or tomorrows?

Do you guys have an idea of how many calories you can commit to each week?

StephyGetsFit

I think tomorrow's.

My daily MFP burn goal is 250, so I should be able to get AT LEAST that, but I'm aiming for more usually. This week is a bit scattered for me unfortunately because I'm travelling, but I'm gonna do what I can do get a good burn in.

tbhoover

I started doing 3 mile walk/runs and I usually burn about 500-600 and I'm hoping to also do the 30 day shred. That burns about 230 for me. So I'm aiming for 800/day.

I'm trying to lose at least 10 lbs by December 9th. It's my sons first b-day and I want to look better in pics

StephyGetsFit

I'm also hoping to start the 30 DS, but that probably won't become a regular thing until next week unfortunately.

My goal is to lose ~20 lbs by Christmas...

Anywhere between 10 - 15 by the 9th and I'd be happy.

If everyone likes the " Team Victorious Secret" we will go with that:) Glad you like some of my ideas it was fun:)

I usually burn around 800 exercise cals a day. I belong to an all women fitness center and we do Zumba, Kickboxing, Yoga , Bootcamp etc it is a lot of fun.

So we submit our weight Monday morning? I have hit a wall in the weight loss but hopefully this will shake it up a bit.

So do we have a volunteer for the team leader???? Not Me please

Good luck ladies and happy exercising.

What is 30 DS??

StephyGetsFit

30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels.

The videos are online if you're interested.

I will be captain. I don't mind it.

Has anyone heard from our other team member?

My weight is actually up a few pounds. I have really slacked the last few weeks so tomorrow I will see what my weight is. I'm anxious

judyw51

Thanks for taking on team Captain! No I have not heard from our other team member, I did send hr a message this morning.

I think my weight is up a bit also I caught a crappy cold a few days ago and not much motivation.

StephyGetsFit

I've been messing around with my intake so I'm not sure what's going on with my weight. I won't be able to weigh in until at least 3 either so I might be a bit bloated compared to what I'd be in the morning....

tbhoover

I will email her hmmmm...I wonder at what point we request a new member? Maybe she doesn't get on the computer on the weekends. I don't think I sent her the link to the thread. I will send her another email and see what's up.

tbhoover

Do u guys have heart rate monitors? I got one not to long ago and I totally love it. I have the polar ft4. It helps me push myself to my calorie goal when I can see it as I'm earning it

StephyGetsFit

I don't just because I can't afford one at the moment. It's on my list of things to buy one of these days though.

judyw51

Yes I have a heart rate monitor and I also bought a Fit Bit that is really great for tracking calories burned steps taken miles walked etc.

I quit smoking 2 months ago so with my non smoking money I am using to buy cool toys for me:)

I think if we do not hear from our other teammate by tomorrow we should request a new one. I saw on the thread that there are a few on the waiting list.

TBHoover,

My starting weight this AM was 139

Judy

tbhoover

Great! Mine was 200.4 ....that's up 3lbs from a few weeks ago but down 6lbs from 2 days ago....crazy water weight!


I didn't get my run in this morning. My baby didn't let me get much sleep....hopefully I can get it this evening!




Ladies it turns out we weren't the only team to submit Victorious Secret...by the end of the day we need a new name. I'm gonna try to use the creative side of my brain to some up with some more options you guys submit anything u like!

tbhoover

Also I was thinking it would be good to submit calorie burn at the end of each day. I'm thinking that will help keep us accountable. I will keep a spreadsheet totalling up everyone's individual burn and team burn.

Let's do this ladies! Definitely don't want to be eliminated first!

judyw51

I got another email from the gal that started this and she said the other team changed there name. Can you double check this?

Yes I think it is a great idea to put our calorie burn in daily.

My plan for tonight is 1 Zumba class and 1 Kickboxing class.

Hang tough ladies we can do this:)

Thanks for taking this on TB

Judy

tbhoover

Last I talked to her was about 7am...so I'm assuming we still need to change. I think she may be having a hard time getting organized because I emailed her that I was captain and in the very next email she told me to report my weight to my leader. So I don't know if she's got everything straight

judyw51

The last note I got from her was 10 last night and she had said team 7 changed there name. No biggie we will just pick a different one.

I am sure this first week will be a little nuts for her till she gets her paperwork straight.

Judy

SO.....do we turn in our calories burned daily here as well as on our own page? And how about weight? I woke up this morning ready to go! I have usually a 1/2 hr break in between clients so I plan on walking for 15 to 20 minutes many times throughout my whole day and then still do my am and pm dvd's! Oh.....and any name will do! We're winners no matter what they call us!

tbhoover

Yes submit your daily calorie burn here and todays weight. Future weigh ins will be sundays.

If everyone puts there info here daily then I can keep track.

StephyGetsFit

Weighed in at 217 just now. 2 lbs down from last week. Woo!
