    Hi! I'm a late starter & excited to be a part of the D'Terminators! I've read through the thread and I think I am pretty well caught up as far as what I need to do. Now I need to get started doing it! My plan is to be caught up on days 1 - 4 by day 6. For now I can be checked off for staying under on cals & over on H2O on the first four days. Also, I am hoping someone can confirm the only bonus challenge was 50 mountain climbers. This is my first group challenge so please fill me in on any need to knows!

    Thanks & I look forward to kicking the crap out of August with all of you! :)

    YAY you're here!!! SO excited!! Another team challenged us to 50 mountain climbers yesterday as a bonus. Still not sure if that means we get bonus points for doing them. For those that couldn't do the burpees because of bad knees, the alternative was to do 100 toe touches.

    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 your team
    captain for 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 *
    Day 5 Exercise Challenge – 25 Pushups *
    Day 6 Exercise Challenge – 25 Squat Lunges*
    Day 7 Rest! You deserve it!

    If you are uncertain on how to do an exercise get with your captains as they will have a weblink to each
    exercise.

    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.

    *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 team member.
    Modifications will be provided for those who unable to complete the exercise as intende

    Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning D'Terminators! :D

    My starting weight was 209, and since I don't have access to a scale on Sundays, I am weighing myself on Fridays. Today's weigh-in was 207.4 (a loss of 1.6 lbs!!!) I was hoping it would be more than that, but I am still happy it was something.

    This morning I got up an hour+ early to catch up on the daily exercise challenges. I got everything done w/exception to the 40 ups & downs (which I purposely am leaving for tomorrow's workout). :happy: I did a walk/jog up and down my street (approx 2.2 miles) on top of the other exercises...(I am counting this as "EXTRA" because I normally don't workout on Fridays, with exception to the occassional walk during lunch)

    Day 1 Exercise Challenge - 100 Jumping Jacks-DONE!
    Day 2 Exercise Challenge – Walk, Run or Jog 1 Mile (extra) -DONE!
    Day 3 Exercise Challenge – 50 Situps or Ab Crunches -DONE!
    Day 4 Exercise Challenge – 40 UP and Downs (tomorrow)
    Day 5 Exercise Challenge – 25 Pushups -DONE! (had to do modified, as I can't do ONE real pushup!)
    Day 6 Exercise Challenge – 25 Squat Lunges -DONE!

    So, it looks like for points so far, I have:
    -->5 points for the exercise challenges
    -->3 points for doing my diary/under calories on Mon, Tue, Thur
    -->4 points for drinking 8+ glasses of water on M, T, W, T

    Did I miss anything? Don't think so....was there points for weight loss too?

    Hope everyone has had a great week so far!! :D

    I want to say I was under calories on Wednesday too, but I am not positive...I am terrible at estimating, and I know my dinner is not right...

    Alright guys here is our team roster.... this should be final.. but you never know... however, Sunday is the cut off - if someone drops we will NOT be adding on any other members after Sunday... So if your not sure if you can continue and give 110% percent (no excuses) and CHALLENGE yourself during the next 3 weeks, I am asking you to step down and let those that do want to do this in as there is a waiting list to get into the teams. For those of you that are here and plan to stay... Remember to give your 100% every day.. it's a challenge, so yes we expect you to do the daily challenge every day (no excuses) and the weekly challenge every day (no excuses) ..

    Due to the ruff week we have had with member dropping/adding Gary has decided that all team members will receive full points for this week... So this is your second chance folks, here on out it's 100% ... If you went over this week, missed a challenge day or just plain didn't feel it, now is your chance to move on and start fresh!!!

    and so we are clear the points system is as follows:

    1 point for every day you complete the daily challenge
    - bonus challenges brought on by other teams do not get points - you must do the daily challenge to get exercise points

    5 bonus points at the end of the week if everyone does all 6 daily challenges
    - remember EVERYONE must do them

    5 bonus points at the end of the week if everyone does the weekly challenge all 6 days
    - note you do not get individual points for this, in this weeks case it was drink 64 oz of water & stay under calories - the entire team must do BOTH to get the bonus points

    weight loss points are based on percentage, 1 point for every lb lost i believe... I"m not sure how they are calculating that.

    Yay! Now I don't feel quite so guilty for being way over my calories the day before I joined the challenge. I'm crazy-competitive so my overage was really making me mad! ;)

    And thanks for all the work you guys are doing putting this together...sounds like a lot to keep track of! You guys are great!

    Wow this is getting intense really quickly. Bring on week 2!!!!! We sooo got this.

    As for today, I've done all three challenges plus the bonuses. I haven't closed out my diary but I will definitely be under.

    Plus I already met my weekly goal of 3500 calories burned and I still have Saturday and Sunday left!!

    I'm done for the day! Did my pushups and crab touches, but I wasn't around any stairs, so I couldn't do the bonus stair climbs. I'm under calories for the day and I'm at 13 cups of water and counting...
    I also added an extra mile to my run this morning, so I'm all caught up for this week and ready for week 2!

    And, I might be jumping the gun on next week's challenge, but I have a recipe to share. On the recommendation of one of my MFP friends, I made Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese for dinner tonight and it was super-delicious! I actually made it for my family as I had already eaten, but it was so good I couldn't resist having one myself. The recipe is here: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/04/chicken-rollatini-with-prosciutto-and.html
