@edithrenee - 3 pounds is awesome!! I'll put 2 down if you want me to - but I think that's incredible!! Probably because you had stayed the same last week from your starting weight..... in any case, YOU GO GIRL!!
I forgot about the sit ups - so I did a quick 30 tonight and will catch up the rest over te next couple of days!! I have a big note on my fridge now that says SIT UPS - so i won't forget!! hahaha.
It appears that we've lost a couple more people this week - so we are going to have to do some serious ab crunches/sit ups this week to stay in this competition...... I've only heard ab crunch pledges from about half of you and we are at 2500 pledged. So come on ladies - we need to keep up this momentum!!
WE CAN DO THIS!!!
I will pledge 50 a day ab crunches!0 -
After Day 1, we've done 480 ab crunches / sit ups.... Whoo hoo!!!
So far our team has lost 44.4 pounds, which means that we have lost 21.3% of our total body weight!!
I also want to give HONORABLE MENTION to our biggest losers so far (half way through) this competition!! :drinker:
kat................................ 9 pounds
cath...........................6.5 pounds
maureendonahue......5 pounds
song2sing............... 4.6 pounds
You ladies are phenominal!!! Wow!! I'm VERY impressed!!
It's the 3rd week ladies and WE CAN DO THIS!! Keep pushing - you've come too far to start being a slacker NOW!! :ohwell:
Gary is also putting together a September challenge, but the teams will only be 10 people. So start thinking about if you want to do another challenge next month and let me know!!0 -

It has been brought to my attention that an additional challenge for this week has been brought.. :smokin:
ADDITIONAL WEEKLY CHALLENGE! For every teammate that will commit to 1000 crunches this week we will get 10 extra points for the team! :drinker:
This could be a big point spread folks. I know that's alot of crunches, but we have a couple people that are really BUSTING behind on this team this month!! ANDDDD, we NEED these bonus points. Remember, these 1000 crunches are in addition to our combined 4000 (team) crunches for this week.
Let me know if you are interested!!
ALSO...... I'm already working on putting together my team for the September challenge.... and the team will be limited to 10 people!! So If you are interested in being on my team for September - not just filling a spot so that my list is full, but if you are REALLY interested in PUSHING yourself for 6 days, doing the challenges, and being dedicated to YOUR team, please send me a private message and let me know....0 -

1000 crunches is a lot for one person! I'd have to do almost 200 a day! Can I say I will try and see if I make it? Or do I have to actually commit to it ahead of time?? I'd like to try, but I'm just not sure I can manage that!0 -

@SarahRuth - you can pledge, but nothing will happen if you don't make it.... the ab crunches/sit ups that you do will go toward the team 4000 regardless...... just make sure that if you try to do this, that your body is "warmed up" before you try to do that many ab crunches. You don't want to pull an ab muscle..... that IS ALOT of ab crunches....... Let me know what you decide.
@SarahRuth and @lisaap - GREAT! I would love to have you both on my team for September!! I have you both down..... only 8 more slots - so be sure to let me know if you wanna be in for September!!!
@Song2Sing - are you replacing the globe jumps for some other challenge this week? Let me know because I didn't see globe jumps on the list for this week.. I just want to be sure that I give you credit for those somewhere..... Also, I counted your 100 ab crunches toward Friday's challenge as I didn't see where you had "pledged" for ab crunches for the team yet.... let me know how many you want to pledge for the week toward the team challenge, ok?
Myself, I got in the 3 sets of 21's, the extra mile was done tonight on my bike, 45 minutes walking (at work) 90 sit ups today.... drank 10 glasses of water and came in under calorie goal....0 -

@TNGirlyGirl, yes... we still need more commitments for ab crunches this week. I'll pit you down for 400. Thanks! Glad things are settling down at school. Hay! I like your pic on the biggest loser thread! Keep us posted each week... that's awesome that you are still in it!
@cath...... YES! I definitely want YOU on my team for September! That's awesome! Thanks! It'll be similar to what's going on this month, but I'm hoping the challenges get progressively more difficult!
Goodnight all!0 -
Today was a really busy day at work! Got my water in, was under calories and did the 50 ab crunches and presses. I assume those are like push ups! That's about as far as I got today. Tomorrow and Thursday look to be really busy too, but I will be walking around for hours (I am facilitating some training) both days. That has to burn calories as usually I sit at a desk.
Have a great night everyone!0 -
As of this morning (as of THIS posting), we have pledged 3770 crunches, and we have completed 1195 of them!! As usual, you guys are really ROCKIN' !! 0

I will commit to 700 ab crunches for the team this week (already did 100 yesterday and got a 100 in this morning). If I do more, I will let you know, per day! Also did just 20 lunges and am really feeling it in my knees. They were cracking or making a grinding sound, eeks!0 -
@Song2Sing - you are right.....
On the sheet for this week, Day #5, he says to do the 100 ab crunches and 50 burpees (which are also called Ups/Downs - same thing)... but he gives the link to the Globe jumps video......
so I'm gonna tell everybody to do whichever one they want to do and just let me know which one..... Song2Sing - I'll give you credit for those on Friday... no worries!!
thanks for pointing that out!!0 -
