    So getting lesson from last challenge to keep us motiated we have begun our 20 week challenge(counting this 0 week).

    And i still need your captain ;)

    For many of us, this is a clean slate of getting back on track! For the WEEK O challenge, I thought we might take it BACK TO BASICS! Let's take this week to focus on drinking water and cooking ! I know that this is not the easiest thing for all of us to do .

    I will be captain of no one else wants too. I prefer to be a participant not a leader, but I don't want our team to lose right out of the gate here. Let me know what you all think :ohwell:

    Not trying to step on anyone's toes or anything, just trying to help out where I can. (If captain(s) don't think this is a good idea, please feel free to delete or slap my hand or something.)

    I've been flipping back and forth between posts to see the challenges, etc. So, I thought maybe it will help us out if we have as much info HERE in our lil BLUE loft as possible.

    Copying and pasting those messages here for your reference.

    ********************************


    Let me tell you about the challenges and how they will work!

    Reward Challenge :
    The reward challenge is the challenge where when you do an event you win a reward. Each week the reward will vary. Every Monday , I will announce which team has won the reward challenge! For this biggest loser, I will give you a workout challenge & food challenge! The team that has the most members complete the workout challenge and the food challenge wins . Whichever team has all it's members respond first and the team captain has let me know , is the team that wins the reward challenge for that week !


    Weigh-ins :
    Weigh-ins to your team captain will be due by Sunday night 9 p.m GMT to your team captain. Team captains give me your team members weights by Tuesday morning! The person on each team that has the lowest percentage weight loss will be put in the Pit Challenge.

    The Pit Challenge:
    Something like the elimination challenge. This challenge is where the individuals from the bottom of the group will compete against each other in a day after challenge that has to be completed the day after results are revealed. If you get the question correct you stay, if you get it incorrect your time is up and I hate to say this you won't be the biggest loser.

    Other that workout and food challenges, there will be group challenges and motivation challenges as well. Like I said in the beginning we are a family ! We support one another !

    Check the next thread for the sign-up sheet!

    Are you going to be The MFP Biggest Loser for this summer ? :)

    ***************************************

    For many of us, this is a clean slate of getting back on track! For the WEEK ONE challenge, I thought we might take it BACK TO BASICS! Let's take this week to focus on drinking water and cooking ! I know that this is not the easiest thing for all of us to do .

    Captains please check in here next Saturday - Sunday and let us know how your team done with the water intake. Give us tips on how to get all the water in on a daily basics!!! Let's do this together!!!! Best team will get 2 lbs advantage next week (in week 1!!!) !!!

    Welcome to the Blue Team!!!


    Here is the excercise challenge for the week!! I love cardio so this is going to be great!!!

    Exercise

    1. 4 days out of 7 of 30-45 min cardio sessions to be spread out during the week as it suits you best!

    sessions of jogging, fast walking, cross-trainer or treadmill,Zumba, Aerobics, Dance, etc.
    (moderate cleaning doesn't count ;) )


    2. Try something new or something you didn't do for a while - independent exercise of your choice: mine for example will be Trampoline :) yes ...we had trampoline outside for over a year and yes I didn't go on it for 30 min yet

    If you lack inspiration, you can try swimming, clubbing (DANCING!!!), another class at your local gym, or that new DVD , take tennis rackets and go play tennis with kids in park ... or football ?

    3. Best Butt Exercises For Women: Squats

    Squats are one of the best butt exercises you can do to build a nice round booty and sexy legs. Make sure you keep your abs tight, back straight, weight on heels, and sit your butt back.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSYv5lQo4yM

    can you make at least 350 a week ? E.G. 50 +60+70 +day rest +50 +60 +70

    4. Don't forget to take a day rest! Your body needs it.

    This is our first week !!!! It is supposed to be an introduction, so have fun and get healthy!

    There is no lbs reward as our teams are not complete yet and track success would be difficult .

    Okay guys, I have uploaded my recipe and pics for this weeks challenge. I made Sweet Potato Sheppard Pie last night which included multiple veggies of different colours and tastes amazing (although I can't cook so I shouldn't judge) so I hope I hit all the criteria marks :love:

    Good luck everyone and don't forget to complete this weeks challenge (plus I need more healthy ideas for meals - so get them in!)
