MM Challenge-Closed Group

Chirron40

Hello Ladies,

I'm excited about this challenge. I sent our info to MM so we will know for sure if we made one of the 8 teams tomorrow. If anyone wants to be captain, that is fine with me, if not I will be captain.

We will log our information here each week:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjcRoYgSifbGdERhRXRmYzJaZ2ZCRzlJRzM4NHNMbEE&hl=en_US#gid=0
and I will change it according to the challenges.

We need to think of a name for our group, any suggestions?

kewwy1

How about the Sisters Thin? :P

I'm looking forward to it, all the motivation we all need

hayes1311

Im cool with any name :-)

heatherconcoff

Hi - I love your idea of Sole Sisters! Go team!!!

TaraAlbert

I'm good with whatever you guys choose, just excited to be a part of the group!

Chirron40

Ok, I have been trying to think of team names but I'm not very good so I did a google search. Here are a few suggestions:
Sham Rockers
Flab 2 Fab
Sweet Sexy Sassy
Belly Dumpers
Thin to Win
Please post any other suggestions and then we can vote on our favorite by the end of the week.

I think we all joined this challenge to get extra motivation. So, I think it would be good idea if we all post here at least once or twice a week to let everyone know how your week is going, how you are doing with the challenge, or to encourage other team members.

We can do this!!!

Chirron40

Just an FYI...I never received a reply when I sent in our team info. I sent Tonya a message last night and she confirmed we were part of the challenge.

I think we are team 5 or 6. MM said the first team to sign up will get to decide upon the first challenges. I assume this means we will need to think of the challenges for week 5 or 6. We have lots of time, just something to think about.

Chirron40

One more thing...Does everyone want to continue posting here or would you prefer that I start a new group?

kewwy1

Am fine to post here...

When does this challenge start?

Chirron40

The competition will officially begin next Sunday and go from January 21st through March 17th (St. Patrick's Day!).

heatherconcoff

Hi Ladies!

I love Sweet Sexy Sassy! Also Sole Sisters has a place in my heart... Whatever you choose is fine with me.

Let's use this as our place to post... Our Spreadsheet looks great, Thanks Sherry!

Chirron40

Motivation Matters has a new post up. We are currently the only team that has not submitted a name so cast your vote in the next 24-36 hours. I'm fine with any name except No Name. We also need to post our weight this Saturday, just update the spreadsheet. This information is due by Saturday @ 7pm Central Standard Time but to give me a little time to get the information turned in please turn it in by 5pm Central Standard Time.

hayes1311

Hey guys, I lost 800g this week :-)
Wish it was more but I'm leading up to that time of month so hopefully next week is a bigger loss :-)

heatherconcoff

Let's go for the SSS. Can't wait to see the first challenge! Go team!!!

TaraAlbert

I'm up for whatever the team wants, but don't really care for the triple S name myself. I kinda like belly dumpers...at least it's funny! I like sole sisters as well.

Chirron40

I sent in our information for the week. I sent in the name Sole Sisters for the group. Sweet, Sexy, Sassy would have won but Tara didn't really like it and we should all at least like the name. 2 people picked Sole Sisters as their second choice and I liked it.

Congrats everyone on losing weight. Great Job!!!

The challenge should be posted tomorrow evening, look for it so you can start first thing Monday morning.

kewwy1

I had asked charlotte to add my weight in, I am 100.9 kilos. (221.98 pounds)

kewwy1

Chirron40

kewwy1

Well on my way to making todays fruit and veggie thing!

Included tomato with my ham toastie for breakfast, lunch I had chicken with peas, carrots, olives and half a tomato.

Had watermelon for a snack and planning on fish and veggies for dinner!

Hope everybody is doing well!

heatherconcoff

Hi all!

I am the Veggie Queen! I love veggies! So, I am working this week on eating even more by replacing other starches. Yum!

I alos found a new kind of squash - Chimoyo(?) squash. LIght green and looks like a fruit - Hmmm.. Willing to try something new!

Are you all working hard, cause I have started riding the stationary bike at 6 a.m. in addition to my evening exercises. I really dislike it, but it was a great workout this a.m. Think of me huffing away on your daily work outs!

Finally, I am happy to be the co-captain of the team, since no one else offered. Does anyone have an idea for a logo?

Let's talk!

How are you all doing out there???

Heather

I really like the one with the circle of feet, but they all look great to me! This week has been good to me so far! Feeling very energetic and trying to get in as much exercise as possible! Hope you ladies are having a wonderful week!

heatherconcoff

I like the same! The one with lots of people's feet in a circle. Nice image! Thanks so much! I looked around, but didn't find anything. You're awesome!

Chirron40

Hayes, send me your weight and and information for the challenges this week. I will send you a message with the challenge information for next week Sunday when the new challenge is posted. Have fun in Bali.

Chirron40

The new challenge is up for the week. Our challenge is:

Stay under sodium everyday

Burn your weight in calories 1X for one day 2X for 2 days and 3X for 3 days--I put what you should burn on the spreadsheet and we can mix up the days

We got a penalty to do 75 burpees each for the week

And Hayes did not say if she did last weeks challenges until after the deadline so she has an additional 60 burpees to do and has to report them directly to MM

Please update the spreadsheet or me DAILY. If anyone turns in their info late next week you will be eliminated, lets not let that happen.
