Belinda's November TEAM Challenge

azeria

I am noticing a lot of pain in my body... if that counts... haha Not the big lost I was hoping for, but little by little I will get there.

BetterWithAge

I feel stronger

bmfrazie

Today should be the hardest day of the week. Good luck and think of it as the hardest day of the week

MId-day today I will annouce the scores. Please try to have everything filled in for your team. If it is not done by around noon EST then I will end up having to give you zero and will mark it in red.

We are half way through the month and I hope that everyone is feeling stonger. I will be adding a cardio strong day to the workout this week.

Don't forget that the challenge for this week has to do with staying under or right on your calories. Each person can earn an extra 6 points for the team. Team total of 30 extra points.

Happy Monday! Is it twisted that I'm starting to look forward to my Monday morning workouts? Today's was a good one. Having the added challenge of staying within my calories for the extra point will be a good motivator to stay on track.

bmfrazie

We are looking for people to be added to the back up list. One team is currently needing a replacement. Anyone interested?

So we're heading into the weekend, how's everyone doing? I'm fighting a cold, but I'm fighting it! Looking forward to two days away from the office.

bmfrazie

Don't forget that captains need ALL of the info from last week turned into them today. THEY CANNOT count any old workouts past today. Please get in your weights also.

My internet is being rather iffy today so I might not be able to have everything posted by my normal noon. I will try to have it up today. Lots of captains have not record info for the last several days. Please get to this!

bmfrazie

We are coming in for the home stretch and this is when it starts to get hard. Those of us in the states have Thanksgiving this week which often means HUGE distractions and over eating. Good job to everyone that has stuck with it so far. Keep up the hard work and I am sure you will see the results that you have been wanting to see!

CAPTAINS DON'T FORGET THAT IF ANYTHING HAS BEEN TURNED TO RED AND HAS A ZERO YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT FROM THIS TIME FORWARD. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN ALWAYS BE ADJUSTED IS THE WEIGHT. We are missing one of our captains. The score for that team will be allowed to still be adjusted due to the situation. --- I will not be reporting the total team score again until the very end of the month. I will report weekly scores this week and next and then do a total score on the last day of the month.

CONGRATS to BrandieWhy of team TurkeyTrotters for dropping an amazing 5.5 pounds in one week! She is our biggest loser for the week!

Week 3 scores:
Moves_To_Improve = 63 points
Bestest Burners = 61 points
Fall's Foxy Femmes = 57 points
Turkey Trotters = 55 points
Fall's Fab Five = 55 points
Flab-U-Less = 47 points
Vivacious Vixens = 34 points
Let The Pounds Fall = 17 points

What team are you on? I can look into it because I have a team that only has two people left and they report all the time. Let me look into who is on your team and if they are active or not. You can report here if you want but most people are reporting in the team thread.

Yesterday, I had two bananas, a peach, and some celery.

bmfrazie

Femme that is totally up to you if you want them to post numbers. It is unlocked so anyone can edit it with the correct link. Hopefully they enter on the correct line and don't mess with any of the formulas.

Have a fun trip!

Fruits and veggies should go in the purple column that says F & V. You need to add your totals daily. So if you have 3 today and 5 tomorrow next to your name it should read 8 total.
