Okay, friends, here is the line up with your starting weights:

MightyMae1, 278.4
throttlboy, 362
NurseLocke, 208
Meggie_pooh, 212
hmiller2011, 190
sreimer07, 244
nisijam5, 178
teanabean, 229
MsChelsea1, 151
tonya_mabe, 217
twooliver, 208.7
lacefacebug, 156
Christieherron, 248
yankeefamily05, 229.8
mzmags, 200
ilovedrinkingtea, 177
melloxyellow, 284
Jayme34, 355
aquasw16, 245
RME_wyfe, 183


To clarify, there are no teams. We're all in this together for motivation and we can all be eliminated if we aren't doing what we should be doing to take care of ourselves. The two people who lose the lowest percentage each week (Sunday morning) will be "eliminated" until we have a winner. (If you get eliminated and want to still follow our weekly challenges, feel free...it's just for fun anyway.)

To answer questions about posting pictures of the scale, we can do that if you guys want to, but I've already entered our starting weights on the spreadsheets, so let's start the pictures next Sunday.

Again, please post your weight promptly Sunday morning so I can report who's in and who's been eliminated.

This week's challenge was 30 minutes of cardio 4 times and if you already do that much you must add 10 minutes to your usual routine. Good luck players!!!! :smile:

    I am pretty sure I can't take a pic of the scale while I'm on it, cuz I have an old skool dr's office scale with the weight on the side and the height thingy. If I have to step on a scale with my gigantic camera (professional) it just might add weight! I'm not gonna chance it :wink: But I don't cheat anyways! If I wanted to cheat, I would only be cheating myself, not the game. So with that said, let the fun begin :bigsmile:

    Here are some directions to copy the photo on to here:

    1) I use photobucket, upload the photo there
    2) copy the IMG code
    3) paste onto MFP
    4) change the capital IMG to lowercase img

    Good luck to all...

    Hello everyone!

    Today as part of our cardio challenge I burned 1091 calories (kettlebells class 47 minutes 520 cals & spinning class 43 minutes 571 cals).

    When is weigh in, just sometime asap on sunday morning our time? I'm in London, and I reckon lots of people are on US time.

    I'll try and figure out this photo uploading too!

    Here is how to post weights, it's easy. I am for the posting of weights because I think it keeps the competition honest. However, I am willing to do whatever the moderator wants.

    Hi everyone, hope it's all going well for you guys.

    I did some strength training this morning and a fightclub class at lunchtime. I burned 725 cals in total and I've pretty much eaten everything back today so I feel quite pleased with things today.

    Getting a bit worried about Sunday though!

    You guys, I was terrible today. I ate chocolate and went out to lunch with a friend. I'm going to have to do some kind of major workout to make up for that.

    Hi folks,

    Regretfully I need to resign from this competition. I'm heading out on a ten day trip and will not have access to my scales and to use any other scale will not reflect an accurate weigh in. Apologies for the inconvenience and not remembering this from the beginning.

    Hope you all rock it!!!

    Thanks for letting us know. I hope you have fun on your trip. If you'd like to still follow along with us on the weekly challenges when you get back that would be okay with us! We're here for support.

    Friends, since we have a resignation, we will only have ONE eliminated player this week. Don't fall below that RED LINE! Watch those Independence Day cookouts and beer! They'll get ya! :smile:
