TEAM PREP FORUM (SEPTEMBER)-CLOSED: CHISULO FLAB FIGHTERS

Thanks for checking in ladies! Most of what we are required to do is the same...such as:

1) Submitting your starting weight, taking your measurements and a picture and sending me a realistic goal as of September 1st. I do NOT need your measurements and picture. Those are encouragement tools, just in case the scale starts tripping!

2) Complete and report DAILY challenge information. You know my rule here. If you miss a day or two, I understand as long as you get around to posting it before the end of the week. I must see you post on the board at least four to five times per week.

3) Send your weight and weekly tribal (team) challenge information. This means that each week, you will send me our weight for that day...NOT The amount of pounds lost and if we have a team challenge, you will let me know what you have done toward that.

This is pretty much what I need from you. Just PLEASE check into the forum daily to stay on top of things, but if you miss a day here or there, I understand.

The scoring is as follows.

• 1 point for each pound lost per team member
• 1 point for each team member who does their daily exercise challenge (1 point per member)
• 1 point for the other weekly challenges (water intake, staying under calories etc.)

BONUS POINTS

~ Daily Exercise – If every team member logs the daily exercise as doing it for all 6 days
Mon – Sat. You may award your TEAM an extra 5 points

~ Weekly Challenges – if every team member log the weekly challenge as doing it for all 6
days Mon – Sat. You may award your TEAM an extra 5 points


If you have any questions, please let me know. You can post your starting weight on THIS forum or send it to me via inbox, but I do not want them until September 1st! Thanks again!

Thank you so much! August was my first go at Captain! And to think that I only became a captain because another team was full! LMBO I am glad that I did because I have started such great relationships with you ladies! We all have different struggles, but I am here for you...so do not hesitate to inbox me. Throughout this four week process, each of us have had at least one BLAH week, where we would not have objected to tossing the scale out of the window, if we did not have to pay for the window or the person that it hit! LMBO Anyway, just know that while I love to win, the most important goal here is our progression and achievement of OPTIMAL HEALTH, not just in terms of the absence of sickness, but also in terms of VITALITY! LET"S DO IT LADIES...WE CAN DO IT...WE WILL DO IT...CONSIDER IT DONE! We've had a practice round (August)...now September is the REAL CHALLENGE and it also happens to by my birthday month, so we MUST SHOW OUT!

Hi everyone! My name is Kirsty and I am continuing from the FTF August Challenge. I lost 5.3 pounds in August and went from 156 pounds to 150.7! So I am really happy about that (though embarassed that I have let myself get this bad....)

My goal for September is to lose another 5 pounds (at least) - that way if I continue to lose at least 5 pounds a month then by March of 2012 I will reach my goal of weighing 120!! (I am 5'3 by the way, so i am really short and can get away with weighing the little =] just wanted to let you all know that cause some people think that it is a really low goal, LOL).

I also want to work on logging in the forum and checking it more....I think that I am only logging in the forum about 3-4 times a week...though I was a LOT better at doing it at first...so I want to get better at doing that this next month too!! :bigsmile: I am super excited to see how far I come in the next month, I really am!! :happy: I am also excited to see how far everyone else on my team has come as well! You all seem like you have done EXCELLENT and I am proud of everyone!!

I also want to say a special thanks to Monique our awesome team captain! She has done an amazing job leading us this past month and I am so thrilled to be on her team again this next month! She has been a great inspiration and encouragement and has done a lot to help our team out! Thanks again!

I will be posting challenge information as soon as I get it! Welcome Toya (Pretty), Emily (Em), Kim (Ivygirl), Ginny (Maddox), Kirsty (Fitmom) and Ariel (uh, Ariel! LOL)...I am sure that Iris, Moonchild and KAP will be here logging in soon. Kap will also be creating us another SPLENDORIFIC siggy...so thanks to her!

For those of you who KICKED the crap out of August with me, as you prepare the requested information (goals, etc.), think of what you plan to do differently in September. For instance, I plan to embrace morning workouts (ARGH) and log on Sundays (I was taking breaks on those days). I also plan to eat heavier breakfasts (even if they end up being dinners from the previous night) and lighter dinners (meat and veggies). I also want to watch my carbs for six days, but on the seventh, give myself a treat! What about you??? You do not have to answer here, but I want you to improve as much as possible!

Much Love,


Cap (Monique)
