Hey all! Where has everyone been? It has been super quiet in here this week.........hearing crickets only......................chrip...................chrip...........................LOL. How has everyones week been going? Stilling to your goals?
Staying within your calorie limits? Did you do the punishment exercises? As the last day approaches we need to review the goals we set in the beginning. Do you remember what your was? Let me know if you have achieved your goal. I will only be on for a very short bit in the morning as we have plans in the afternoon and evening, but I will be back online on Sunday.
Happy Friday Everyone!0 -
I know my goal was bodyfat related but I can't remember what my initial % was! I don't think I have lost any though :mad:
Also, I have not done any strength training this week. I had no strength to do it but I have managed some cardio. Think I have over 200 minutes done and i will do more tomorrow. I hate being sick!0 -
Rest, Louise! I don't want you to injure yourself. As for strength training, anything extra I have after 90 minutes is yours. I've done two hours already and I can do 30 minutes more tomorrow, meaning as well as doing my goal, I can also give you an extra 60 minutes. If someone gives 30 minutes of their strength to you, you'll do it!
Cardio-wise, I've definitely done my 260. Anything extra is yours to match your goal!

Sorry I've not been on here a lot but I've been working and working out. I feel a lot better now, I've increased the intensity of my workout and I've kept up with them. I worked out with one of the trainers in the gym- I WAS SLAYED! She's incredibly strong! She made me do these abdominal leg raises and they killed me! Still, I pushed on. Not only that but then she made me do kettlebell swings, sprints, crunches, skip, slamball, clean and press and planks. She was like a machine. It felt good to work out near the intensity I'm used to.
My stats for the moment:
360/260 Cardio
120/90 Strength Training
7/??? Punishment (I don't know how many I was supposed to do but I call these "Abdominal Leg Raises". I've been doing these every day this week as it was coincidentally recommended by a gym trainer to do so)0 -
Glad to hear you are feeling better Dazz, it gives me hope that some day I will feel better too! My week so far has been: Monday I was so weak and dizzy all day that I fainted, Wednesday I was vomiting, and today I woke up feeling like I was coming down with a terrible cold. Ugh, I just want some energy. I went for an easy run today but it was mostly walking. I felt better after it but im still not right.0
-
I do not remember what i said my goals were!! Im pretty forgetful. Also' no idea how to make a Fitspo, i have no programs that let me do writing on them. What did you guys use to create them?0

Rest up! That's an order! Seriously, I had to rest up and now I feel LOADS better so I'm glad you guys told me to rest up repeatedly! You'll feel better once you rest up and give your body a chance to recover!
Also, I can't remember what I said my goals were either! I'm pretty sure that I said I was 17st 10lb. I'm now 17st 3lb so I've lost quite a bit. I'm also an inch and a quarter thinner around my waist.0 -
wow! thats amazing!! I haven't lost any weight but ill take my measurements tomorrow so fingers crossed they have gone down!
Shelley, did you hit the 100lbs bench press?0 -

I used Adobe Photoshop. I'm a Graphic Designer, however at the time of my fitspo months ago, I couldn't get my PC to load quick enough. However, I've done new things to my computer and now it's fast so I'm able to be creative again, hehe.
I can help you if you like. Upload a photo on MFP that you like and I can save it and make one up for you. Same goes for everyone else here. They might be done on Sunday though but I'll try and get them in before then.0 -
I did hit my goal last week. I have done everything but the fit thingy. I hope to do it tomorrow. But I must tell you. My son in law is in the hospital. Not sure what is wrong. Some blockage is what they think. So if I do not get it completed I am sorry. I have watched the grandkids tonight. And they will be back tomorrow so my daughter can be with him. They are a little bored here. Not a kids home. So if the computer gives me to much problem tomorrow it will not get done. I will try my best though. Who knows, my grandson might be able to help!

I hope he is ok Shelley! Family definitely comes first so don't worry about getting the challenge finished.
I managed to get my cardio done and one of the punishments but I haven't done any strength training. Does anyone have 90 minutes extra??? or, since 30 minutes of my cardio was a cardio pilates workout which could be classed as strength, does anyone have 60 minutes of strength and 30 mins of cardio? Sorry, i am a bad Michonne!0 -
Ok I have managed to make a photo with writing on it but cant bring myself to post it! its too cringe worthy! Does it still count if I get someone else to post it? that way it can't be traced back to me and hopefully won't be seen by people on MFP who I know in real life!
Ellie, to make it i inserted the photo into a word document, then I right clicked on it, selected wrap text > behind text from the pop up menu, that allowed me to write directly onto the picture.0 -

Now Shelley, you don't worry about a thing when it comes to the challenges! Family comes first before anything! You've done amazingly!
I hope your son-in-law gets well soon!I hope he is ok Shelley! Family definitely comes first so don't worry about getting the challenge finished.

Have mine. As I said previously, I'm donating any extra strength to you!Ok I have managed to make a photo with writing on it but cant bring myself to post it! its too cringe worthy!

Post it! It can't be any worse than mine! I'll cut you a deal: If I post mine, you have to post yours. We all wouldn't laugh or anything if that's what worries you! My new fitspo that I plan on doing tomorrow is more cringy than yours, I can bet! Let me see if I can post it on here. Mireygal made my first one for me!0 -
My stats for the week:
480/260 Cardio
150/90 Strength Training
7/??? Punishment
I donate 60 minutes of strength and 30 minutes of cardio to Louise.0 -
Thank you all for your understanding. But I did get everything done but that Fit thingy. I did look at them. But knew posting something like that was beyond my skills.
Mister Dazzler, glad you are feeling so much better.
This week:
410/260 Really helps that I can get in an extra hour of cardio at work each day. I get it done in 30 minute blocks. Some longer.
strength training. Almost all kettlebell training and free weights. 180/90 Feel free to take what is needed
Punishment 4/2 I did not have a partner for this.
And I did get my goal of 100 pound bench press completed. Might go higher. :drinker: stayed within my calories. I do not eat when stressed!
Son in law, Kyle is waking up. Hopefully the doctor will be by soon to tell them what they found.

As most of you know, we will be doing this again for Season 5 and I hope you will all join us then and in the meantime, we will keep this group open. We're still crunching numbers, so it might be tonight final MVP's and last week's winning team and the overall winning team is announced.0 -
I see we don't have an MFP on the final page. Can I nominate Angi for being such an awesome team captain?0
-
I second that.0

Third. It's thoroughly deserved!0

Aww, Thanks all, you are to nice! But Shelley is our MVP this week, she continued to preserver even though there were outside pressing personal issues. Great Job Shelley!
And Dazz is our overall MVP! He was a awesome support system thoughout our challenge, always available to encourage and inspire! Thanks Dazz, you totally rock!
Happy Thursday All!0 -

Ok, I concur that both Dazz and Shelley have been incredible team mates (and sorry guys that i didn't see that and tried to take your title away from you!) but I still think that Angi deserves a special recognition award! Thanks for being a great captain!0 -

Thank you so much! It really means a lot! I think all of us in this small team deserve to share overall MVP. We all must take credit for putting so much faith, awesomeness and motivation into each other. I mean, we really kicked some *kitten* for this first quarter of the year! We're all awesome and I really do hope we're all back in October to do this again with maybe some additional teammates! Heck, I hope we'll all talk after this challenge!
I'm coming up with my own challenge pretty soon. Well, it's not really a challenge but more a story workout...Ok, I concur that both Dazz and Shelley have been incredible team mates (and sorry guys that i didn't see that and tried to take your title away from you!) but I still think that Angi deserves a special recognition award! Thanks for being a great captain!
I second this. Some sort of award such as that is deserved!0
