Hi everyone,

LeeKetty1176 is running a "Row the world game" and we need a team of 15 people to play.

How it works:

what you need

Team of 15 people !
Boat name !
Captain of the boat.

All players will be sent a spread sheet to record Cals burned, the sheet will convert this in to miles rowed ! it does not matter HOW you burn your cals ! gym, walking, dancing etc !

The sheet will do the maths for you !

Captains will gather info off their team and submit for updates

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=204655860575059420912.0004a634fce3156d39f06&msa=0

Some boats and teams are ready but always room for more !


Anyone want to join in? This should be quite fun! Looking for UK people to join my boat, help name it, and win the race!

    I'm In! I'm starting to 30 day shred again today as a way to get back into an exercise routine, so having to log my calories into this will help to keep me from slacking!
    I'm from south Wales.

    Great! Have you done it before? Its my all time favourite work out, I have nearly all of Jillians dvds, and love them, but its the 30DS that I keep going back to. I've been off the exercise wagon, well, off the wagon completely if 'm honest, since Christmas and the lbs are slowly but suerly starting to pile back on. So I'm hoping that getting back into a routine will get me back on track. Once I get over the first few days I love exercise, but getting starting back is always the hardest part for me. I'l send you a friend request and we can motivate each other.

    Suggestions for names?
    I'm thinking!

    - Your real first name? Kate
    - Age? 30
    - Location? Neath in South Wales
    - How much you have lost? I lost 28lbs last summer but have put 8lbs back on
    - How much you have to go? The 8 I want to re-loose plus another 4 to get me down to 10st 10. So 12lbs in total
    - One interesting fact? I got married 500ft below ground in a cave!

    Leila, what is Poi?

    - ERM. I'm a redheaded gemini, which technically makes me a fiery schizophrenic ;)

    no idea about the name, i'm useless at these things! I like the nautical theme though - what about something like 'batten down the hatches'?

    WE HAVE A FULL BOAT! Thanks to marmitegirly2. Keep the info coming and I'll set us up in the challenge later today. I'm thinking I'd be cool to have a pirate boat icon on the map. :)
