Everyone thank you so much for posting. I'm logging all of this in right now and will be online for another hour or so.

Ok Thanks! I was trying to watch the guy who is like super buff do them, and I wasn't exactly sure what to do. haha0 -
Water : yes
Up downs : yes
Mountain climbers : yes
Under calories : don't know :sad: I can't find the damn sandwich I ate & can't figure out how to spell it to google it (I've tried) and don't know everything on it so I don't know if I'm under or not. Sorryy, guys!0 -

TY for all of those updates!!! Logging it all in right now. Still have yet to hear from 4-5 people who have been doing the challenge, hmmmm. If you haven't added godswonderwoman as a teammate on your friends list get it done please.
********ANNOUNCEMENT******** Gary has decided to award every team member across the board a point each day this week for the water and calories. No more after that. I feel like it's not fair to those of us who have been busting our #$@ off getting it done, but he is being extremely generous. Therefore, I would hope and I expect that this week was a trial run for you to learn how to drink 64 oz of water a day through the entire month of August. Also I have NEVER not one day since joining this site went over my calories and I definitely would not do it during a challenge. I understand not everyone is as committed and determined as me. That is fine. I understand that. Just saying I am in it to not just win it but I want off these #%&*! blood pressure pills. I want my health.
Sorry if I sound b#tchy this am. I love you all but I just don't find it hard to post on here whether 3 things have been completed. If you didn't do them you still need to haul your can in here and let me know.
I am one of the most patient, supportive, caring and encouraging people you will ever meet in your life, but I'm not here to sugar coat things for you either. Something led you to sign up for an account on MFP. You know in your heart and your mind that you are not 100% as healthy as you could or need to be. Then get up and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! No one is going to do it for you!!!!
Ok, I'm done yellin.
Love you Team Perseverance. Heaven loves you too. You were made to be more. You have value and you are worth the fight!!!
DROP AND GIVE ME 25 PUSH UPS TODAY, DRINK ALL OF YOUR WATER, STAY UNDER YOUR CALORIES (DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT OR NOT) AND THEN HAUL YOUR CAN IN THIS FORUM AND LET ME KNOW EITHER YES LORI I COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE OR NO LORI I FAILED TO DO IT.
HAVE A PRODUCTIVE AND POSITIVE DAY AND KNOW THAT YOU CAN COME TO ME WITH ANY ISSUE. I'M ONE OF THE MOST UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER FIND.

Thank you LORI! You are an amazing drill sergeant and a true momma to your team.
There are people who are in our lives that will sometimes care about us more than we even care about ourselves. And Lori is that kind of person to most people she meets!
One thing that helps me is to set alarms on my phone. Set an alarm that goes off reminding you to post if you haven't already or to make sure you've done the daily exercise.
I am so excited for this opportunity! I can hear Lori begging "Don't miss it!!!"
Love you all and praying for our great success!!

Hey team captain. YOU ROCK!!! Thanks for not sugar coating anything. There is a reason why we are on this site. We all want to improve ourselves. I am not a water drinker. But I have been making my quota for this challenge. It is a good habit to keep up. Our bodies need that water. We need to drink it for ourselves!! (and because we want to win this challenge!!)
under calories: done
64 + oz water: done
25 push ups: done (disappointed I couldn't do them all a once, had to split them up).
Day 5: done!!!
time to get some rest!0 -
Great job everyone!!! TY sooooo much for posting!!! It means a lot!!! Ty Heather and Robbie for the very kind words.
I am deeply appreciative to a MFP member on here who has helped retool our spreadsheets. They are incredible now and add everything up for me now so I don't have to do any of it!!! Woo Hoo!!! She even took the time to take all of our names and info off of the old ones and put them in the new one. An angel. It just makes tracking all of this soooooooooooooo much easier. Her name is Krystal and her nick on here is jitteryspork.0 -
Also FYI: I will be updating our team badge that many of you are using in your signature. I need to add the new and take off the no shows.0
