    Hi everyone! I just joined this challenge thanks to TimeforMe23!!!!

    So EXCITED!

    I JUST accepted 2 friend requests from Team Bootie Busters...hmmm, now I can't figure out who those friends were...hmmm....comment on my wall if it was you! Thnx! ----> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/beilalin

    Also, ADD ME and comment w/ "TEAM BOOTIE BUSTERS" if you are reading this and are on the team.

    A bit about myself.... (i'll give you the abriged version, I'm sure you all are tired of reading bios by now!)..........

    Stats:

    -Age: 31
    -Weight (as of Sunday, July 31) = 149.0
    -Goal Weight: 130
    -Height: 5'7"
    -Location: Southern California
    -Occupation: Work at home marketer for commercial real estate comany
    -Other: Also trying to get into PA school (Physician Assistant) Fall 2012
    -Started MFP: Mid June

    Staying Active:

    -Gym: Equinox Fitness
    -Workouts at gym: Stairmaster, Elliptical, Treadmill (sometimes), Zumba (tried once--LOVED IT!), mat pilates, body barre, Tabata, VIPR (Vitality Performance and Reconditioning), spinning, kickboxing (tried once--too fast for me), tried P90X once (plyometrics killed me, sold the P90X and now stick to more gym workouts)
    -Other workouts: running in the park, Santa Monica Stairs, Power Yoga, Bikram Yoga (hot yoga), walking, and hiking!

    Other Info About me:

    -Trying to eat gluten free (to help with skin problems and allergies, not celiac though)
    -Doesn't eat meat, but does eat fish and seafood
    -Doesn't drink milk, but does have plenty of yogurt (especially greek yogurt) and likes cheese and frozen yogurt
    -Battling binge eating...has been binge free for 35+ days! I am counting the days...trying to make it to 60 days binge free at the moment.
    -Inspirations: Bethenny Frankel, Keira Knightley, Kate Middleton, Miranda Kerr....they're all skinny!

    I really need this challenge since my last challenge team seems to have died off or "walked the plank" (it was a "row your boat around the world" challenge). I hope to be a part of a team that is consistent and motivating by their presence.

    ~~~~~~"80 percent of success is just showing up" as Woody Allen has said.~~~~~~~~`

    Also I really need motivation to drink more water. THIS alone would really help me lose weight as I often eat instead of drink water when really I was just thirsty.

    Gary6030: TEAM CAPTAINS PLEASE REPOST THIS INFORMATION! We are going to announce a modification later today regarding some important changes in the team scoring. After much thought and consideration we've decided to move towards a percentage based challenge. These changes are to accomodate those teams who have lost team members. The % will make this fair across the board. I want to especially thank all of those who have helped with this process especially jitteryspork. She has modified my old sheet and created a new point sheet. I will be emailing it later today once we're sure its set. Thank you for your understanding I believe this will provide for better results and make all teams equal. Thanks! UNLEASH THE BEAST WITHIN!

    I feel like today might be the hardest day for me. Those up downs look brutal! I'm going to push through it though. :)

    As I understand it, "Up and Downs" are the same as "Squat Lunges" which are the same as "Burpees" .... 3 different descriptions for the same excercize.

    Burpees are actually not the same as squat lunges. Squat lunges are: in a standing position, squat, stand, bring your feet to the center, then lunge.

    Burpees are: Squat, place your hands on the ground, jump back into push up position, jump your feet back into a squat, stand, repeat.

    Hope this helps...

    8/1 - Completed exercise and food challenge.
    Drank at least 9 glasses of water today; had to make up for some excess sodium.

    8/2 - Sorry guys, couldn't get the +1 mile; tendonitis has me sitting around. Calories shouldn't be a problem though. :D
    8/3 & 8/4 - Didn't get a chance to post last night; crappy dinner (nutrition wise, both days) but I was under my calories and managed to get the challenges done for both days; always drink 8+ glasses of water so that part wasn't a problem on either day.

    Provided my ankles are recuperated enough by the "rest" day, I will do the +1 mile then so at least I've gotten all the challenge exercises in during the week. And the healing is going along nicely, improvements every day! I'm gonna take a naproxen and go to bed.

    So i ended up doing other exercises along with the up down's in the asian guy's you tube video...that's a good warm up!!!
    I also did the 100 jumping jacks today and the push ups (50 push ups, and 50 sit ups).

    So glad to have this challenge!
    I actually opened up and assmbled my push up bars/stands so I can do them at home! They have been sitting in the box ever since I bought them a year and a half ago! This cheallenge is really motivating me to drink and exercise :)

    Just an update for you guys:

    Because of all the craziness and changes going on with the teams, Gary has stated that every team will get points for everyone this week. This is no reason to slack though because we're awesome and can handle it!!

    Also, instead of points for lbs lost, youre now getting points for % of weight lost. Dont worry about calculating it, Ill take care of it.

    Thats it for now! Hopefully ill be getting next weeks challenges in soon.

    You guys are killing it this week, I hope youre proud of yourselves :-). Thank you SO much for being so great at posting your progress here, it really does make my life easier.

    So from what I've read here we have now lost our chance for the extra points, correct?

    We would have, but Gary pretty much gave every team immunity this week because of all the changes. Everyone gets points and every team gets the extra 5 this week. I encourage you guys to keep doing the challenges though, not only will it assist with your weight loss points, but it will help prepare you for whatever comes next. He did say they will get more challenging.
