    Lets Get it Ladies!!!! My name is Lashawn (cutelashawn), Jrena asked me to come into this group and introduce myself as the "silent trainer"...LOL....I wont actually be in the group doing the challenges with you guys, but I am here to motivate and encouraged. I had already lost 66 pounds and right now my weight loss is not as fast as I would want it to be, so I dont think I would be a good compettitor in this challenge. I dont want to let anyone down when I cant put up big weight loss numbers. im sill on my weight loss journey, but I do a lot of weight training and im putting on muscle so that is slowing down alot of my quick fat loss. Im here to motivate and encourage so LETS GOOOOOOO! (In my Shaun T voice)

    Hi all, my name is Melanie and I go by upinthecosmos for alot of forums cause I'm a daydreamer of sorts:-) I just turned 39 on the 26th so I'm looking to be 100 pounds lighter by 40, if not before! I was 306 pounds when I began, again, back on June 6, 2011 & I've lost 26.6 pounds so far (MFP rounds it up to 27).

    I have the eating thing down, as long as no one expects me to get ALL my calories in! Most days I'm lucky to get close, especially when I add exercise in the mix. Most like it when you're under but I know that if I'm not eating what I should or close to it then I may slow down my losses so I'm really going to try to work on that but not stress out about it as long as I continue to lose. The water, yeah... we got a thing going on & it's awesome:-)

    I love to laugh and haven't done enough of that in the last few years but my major reasons for that are gone and I'm looking forward to letting that laughter resume in full force. I don't always get to keep up on the boards cause they overwhelm me at times but I try to keep up with my wall & my friends there that comment throughout the day since I can access that through my phone and computer. The boards & blogs I can't get to on my phone. Regardless, I was trying to friend those of you that I'm not already friends with & MFP stopped me after so many saying there was a limit of requests I can send so if we aren't friends or I haven't sent a request then please friend me so we can keep eachother going.

    Ok, as you can see I'm wordy... sorry! Exercise is my downfall so I've joined this group for a push in that area cause JRena is always exercising, along with others in her circle of friends, & I tried to jump on that bandwagon a few weeks ago and it was a great motivator but then vacation came so I'm not on line as much. I'll be back to my routine by the 1st though & ready to burn some calories & more importantly FAT!

    Hey team! I'm LaDonna. I joined MFP on May 17, the day my doctor told me my blood pressure was high and that I was in an unhealthy BMI range. I log my food everyday but I don't exercise daily. Honestly, I joined a 30day shred group and a C25K group and quit both of 'em after 4th of July. I need this challenge to jumpstart my exercise commitment so I can reach my goals. Let's do this!!!

    Hola! I my name is Linda! I'm a 33 year old stay at home mom to four kids. My highest weight was 267 (YIKES! I've never told anyone) and I'm down 28 pounds. I used to be in shape and now I'm shaped like a 2 liter.Most of my life I have tried to make others happy and do what they want. Those days are over! I'm learning to make myself a priority and to do things that make me a better me. I'm looking forward to this challenge to motivate me and to help motivate others!

    AUGUST CHALLENGE WEEK 1

    This is the week one team challenge. This should be done in addition to your normal workout routine.
    This is a challenge and is not a replacement! If you need a beginner workout please contact me and I will search for some new ideas.

    Week One Daily Exercise Challenge

    Each team member that completes their daily exercise challenge receives one point, if all team
    members complete each daily exercise for all 6 days, the team is then awarded an additional 5 Bonus
    Points.

    Day 1 Exercise Challenge - 100 Jumping Jacks*(see below)

    Day 2 Exercise Challenge – Walk, Run or Jog 1 Mile (extra)

    Day 3 Exercise Challenge – 50 Situps or Ab Crunches*

    Day 4 Exercise Challenge – 40 UP and Downs *
    http://www.youtube.com/user/sixpackshortcuts?v=bkD9LwDBWW0&feature=pyv&ad=7237549087&kw=exercise

    The very first part of this exercise is the up and downs. They may be modified by simply starting on all 4's and then standing up quickly and returning to this position to all 4's. This is a cardio exercise! Don't be freaked out but all he is doing just do the first part and modify if needed.

    Day 5 Exercise Challenge – 25 Pushups *

    Day 6 Exercise Challenge – 25 Squat Lunges*
    http://youtu.be/vcIXrvuwcok

    Day 7 Rest! You deserve it!

    *Feel free to do these exercises in sets if you are unable to do them all at one time. Please do your best
    as you are much stronger than you believe.

    Please note each week the exercises will increase in difficulty. This will push each of us.
    Modifications will be provided for those who unable to complete the exercise as intended.


    Week One Weekly Team Challenge

    Each team member in order to get the weekly team bonus points must all log every day and not go over
    their target calories and log at least 64 oz. of water each day. If each team member does this all 6 days
    your team will be awarded 5 Bonus Points.

    Please let me know if you have ANY questions

    And I just want to say, we all need to be honest with ourselves and each other. If you didn't do the exercises or whatever the case may be, be honest and let us know. We are all here to motivate each other, yes it's a competition but at the end of the day, we are doing this to lose weight. So you have 20 other people that are behind you 100%!!!

    i just added some you tube videos.....the up and downs are basically what the football players do but watch the video and it's the first part of the exercise the guy does....and you don't have to do the jump up part if you can't.....
