    Our score for last week was 181. Remember, the daily exercise challenges have the greatest impact on our score and we only have an 80% completion last week.

    OK TEAM! We have added a few new members, Fessecakes, Sumo813, Amy_36, and OneFitDiva, which is great. We have also lost quite a few members so we are now at 18 participants. So to complete the 4000 crunches challenge, we each need to do at least 223 crunches this week.
    AlwaysAngel, I am counting any type of crunch. I did a combination of traditional, lower, and oblique crunches. In my opinion, the point is to challenge ourselves not to be legalistic.
    SCC88, I can't because I believe they are the same thing.

    Keep up the good work!

    ADDITIONAL WEEKLY CHALLENGE! For every teammate that will commit to 1000 crunches this week I will award 10 extra points per person to that team! This could be a big point spread folks. Thanks SuzMac1981 for keeping us challenged you are the best!

    Either way, I don't mind. I just want to lose another pant size or 2 by my birthday. a little less than 4 weeks away. Is that too ambitious??

    I say shoot for 1 (which is probably do-able) and that way if you don't end up with 2 you won't be disappointed. That is the biggest thing I've learned during this time around at losing weight. I kept setting goals like "if I can lose X lbs by this date", "if I can just be down to a size X by the party" and I wouldn't make it, and I'd be sad.

    Now I just stick with consistency, if I lose weight more so than not, I'm going to eventually be fine :happy:

    You don't have to do sit ups. You can do variations on crunches.
    Reverse crunches use your lower abs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVVlXA0dqGg&feature=related
    Oblique crunches for love handles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9OSJSbf86k&feature=relmfu
    Oblique Twist (these are killer and I don't even use a weight): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDTHSnoGoEc&feature=relmfu

    I agree, Stephanie. Trying for 2 may lead you to not appreciate the progress you do make.

    Okay so day 1 I was really sick so I did not complete the challenge....

    However, I did complete day 1 and day 2 challenges yesterday so if that counts than I am good so far for the week...

    I forgot about situps so I definitely need to get started on those, but no doubt about it, I will get my 200 in!!!

    And I am all ready for day 3!! :)
