Aw I am going to be so sad when this challenge is over!
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!!
I so agree. When is the next challenge?
Edited to add: Oh, and has everyone else noticed that we are one of the only teams without any real attrition? We rock. Go team Carol!
We can just keep Team Carol going. We can just have off season challenges. Then we'll be extra ready for Season 6!0 -

I like that idea of having off season challenges because I'm sad thinking about it being over for a while.0 -

Yay! Maggie found her Glenn! Terminus is a bit creepy...what do you guys think?0

I Team Carol! We don't want to break up!
Ya, I think we can probably just keep the board moving until the next challenge.0 -

I love this idea!! I am back at home after many trials and tribulations. I am ready to rock this week!!0 -
Good Episode ! Definitely Needed Some Reunions And Good News After Last Weeks!0

Loved that we can see everyone headed in the same direction now. Maggie and Glen's reunion was great and I have to say, if it weren't for Eugene, it wouldn't have happened. Might have to start to like the creepy nerd. I'm worried about the bad guys stalking Rick though. To bad more of them didn't get killed by their friend at the house. Hopefully Daryl will figure out who they are tracking and be able to help out next week.0

New challenge posted! Please try and come to a consensus on an exercise this week. Look forward to seeing what we will be doing.0

that STINKS that we were edged out of the win!
How about crunches???? Each day a different style?0 -
My vote is still Jumping Jacks or Curtsy Lunges. Although I would have much rather been giving them as a punishment exercise. :bigsmile:0

Tyreese and Sasha already chose a punishment exercise:
Inchworm: Stand up tall with the legs straight, and do like Lil’ Jon and let those fingertips hit the floor. Keeping the legs straight (but not locked!), slowly lower the torso toward the floor, and then walk the hands forward. Once in a push-up position, start taking tiny steps so the feet meet the hands. Continue bugging out for 4-6 reps.
Do 3 days this week.

I concur on the curtsy lunges! I can easily fit those in at work.0

Okay, I am slightly annoyed at the disadvantage our team is on because our team is so large. There are twelve us actively participating - all of us do what we are supposed to do and the max we can get is 3.0 for our team.
If Carol kills and it is divided by 12 meaning that 1 kill gives us a .08 boost.
A team of 2 will get a .5 boost from a single kill
It is 6x harder for our team to get a perfect score but our kills are worth so little that we will never win unless Carol is the only person that kills in the episode. If only 2 of us turn in scores and Carol kills one person - we would have a good chance of winning.
My suggestion: All of sit out except whomever has the best numbers for the week. Turn in one person with the rest of us taking bys for personal reasons. (Like we want to win, dang it!)0 -
HA!!! Kawookie... I like the way you think!!!!

i guess its really this weeks "punishment" and then the "group exercise" that are frustrating me... I am not one to give up too easily... so i have been doing all of these lunge based exercises as punishments.. (im not really supposed to do lunges and squats at all bc of my knee).. I just keep pushing.. my knee hurts all the time... And now this week.. this inchworm thing... yeah... im too freakin fat to do that. There is no way in Hades I can reach the floor let alone heft my weight across...
yeah.. just ignore me I guess.... Im fat, Im angry, and Im demotivated.. :ohwell: :flowerforyou:0 -

I'm very sorry you feel this way I will help you out with this and do them all for you. I understand how it is with your knees, my left one just kills me all the time because of how much weight I am. but we are here for you as a team to help you. Just think about how far you have gotten, and how much you have done over the last few weeks. your doing amazing, everyone is and I keep coming back to this group because everyone is so friendly and supportive.0 -

I can understand not being able to do an exercise. Thats why if there is an exercise that has to be done, but you can't physically do it, find a modification or choose a different exercise of similar difficulty. We dont want anyone getting hurt doing something they shouldn't.
My first challenge was last year this time, I was 130lbs bigger than I am now and you can bet your *kitten* I did alot of modifications and substitutions. Everyone of the crunches and situps I did were on my ab pro machine cause getting on the ground hurt, all my pushups were girlie (still are most of the time) Heck, I still have to do modifications on a few things so don't get discouraged.0 -
TJ I think it's amazing that you have lost 130 pounds in a year!!! That is amazing! I have been here 665 days and I have lost 4 pounds. I can't get my act together. I can't get out of my own way. It is no ones fault but my own, that I have been so unsuccessful. I should be able to do these exercises. But alas I am still the same weight that I was almost two years ago..
I need an intervention. I need to spbe sent to a fat camp. Maybe I need to have my mouth wired shut. Believe me, all of those things have crossed my mind.0 -
@ TJ - Way to go! That is awesome progress. Your pics look wonderful - may we all be so healthy a year from now.
@Funky - It is hard to learn to eat differently. Emotional eating seems to be especially hard to deal with. I don't know what you have tried already, but I would be consulting a doctor, a therapist and a nutritionist if I couldn't lose weight after six months. That just doesn't seem fair and it makes me wonder if there is another issue that you needs to be addressed that will make the weight loss get kickstarted.
I need to look up this new challenge exercise as I have never heard of it before. I've never done the inchworm before, but that sounds straight forward in concept. However, it may not be so easy to do in reality.0 -
Hey guys, I thought we were going to be the winners this week and quite honestly, Kim is right. With our large group number it seems to be nearly impossible to get the number one spot. We kind of knew going in to this being on team Carol that we might not even be a part of the season and just hung on to hope that we would be. We did however do the best we could possibly do and like Carol, we are often overlooked for the many things we do. So, I'm giving you guys a break and changing the rules a bit since you have done so exceedingly well. Instead of coming up with a group exercise you can trade in your punishment this week for an exercise of your choice. You all are winners and deserve a break.
Now since I know this team likes to push themselves, I challenge you to do the punishment plus a exercise of your choice. You are only required to do one. With that being said, let me know what exercise you will be choosing.
For me, I will go ahead and try the punishment and add the curtsy lunge(cause I kind of like them and they are easier on the knees).0 -
Howdy everyone!
Sara - thank you for choosing me for MVP, and I am tickled that we share that role this week :drinker:
I thought we would have won, boo hoo! :sad:
I don't mind the punishment, It is doing the full push up, I still do "girly push ups," but I will try.
I have to look up a curtsy lunge?
Funky - sorry you are having a rough time. We are here for support. Do modifications to exercises!! Even when you are taking an aerobics class, or working with a training they modify it to meet your needs.
TJ - congratulations!!!0 -

Hey, you guys are tricksters! I didn't know you voted for me for MVP too! Thanks so much. :blushing:
I just did 20 curtsy lunges now I will attempt the inch worm thing. I feel polite when I curtsy.0 -
Team Carol may not be able to be a week winner because we have too many people. But look how awesome we are and now much we support each other. Forget getting to choose a punishment challenge. That's lame, we are so much better than that! We win more! Only 190 posts to Team Carol part 3!!
So my week is crazy because it's spring break, kids are home and we're traveling! Yayy! So I'll exercise but it'll be fun exercise.
Monday- rollerskating(90), pilates(45)
Tuesday- Bike ride(45)
Wednesday- off...unless going through the airport with a 100lb kid that can go dead weight any minute counts ;-)
Thursday- Swim(120)
Friday-Swim (60)
Saturday- What does 2 hrs of chasing kids through an obstacle course count as? Either way I'll be exhausted and sore!
Looks like I'll be 500 for Cardio but only 45 on Strength...I'll try and squeeze in some strength tomorrow, but I have some cardio I can trade out if someone loves Strength.
I'll do inchworms and curtsy squats. And maybe planks and burpees....5 minutes a day for 5 days would be 25 more minutes of strength, hmmm.0 -
I figured out what happened to Beth! She was kidnapped and taken to The Following! Hopefully she fairs better on our season finale than she did on that show.0
