Hello my Beautiful Cruisers! I hope everyone is getting excited as the days near! Our challenge will start this Thursday! From now on this forum will be our main communication page. If you have and questions/comments please post it on here. That way we can keep track of everything and stay connected!
There will be 2 levels of challenges. A basic low impact workout and an advanced (BUSHMEN) high impact workout. I highly encourage everyone to mix and match but this is not required. (remember though, the harder you work the better your results and loss will be!)
RAISING OUR SPEARS IN SEPTEMBER AND WE’RE GOING TRIBAL!
Thank you so much for being part of the team for this MFP Challenge. I believe this is one of the largest MFP Challenges to date and it’s all made possible by you! We have over 700 people doing this challenge!!You folks really are ROCKSTARS!
The scoring is as follows. I hope this is simple. If you have questions I’ll answer them for you.
• 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
o 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
o 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
SO HERE IS WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
*Please send me a message with your Current (starting) weight on Wednesday night or Thursday morning!
*Log in daily (track your food)
*Do you best to complete the daily exercises (make sure to let me know when you have completed it. You can do this by sending me a message daily or by sending me a message once a week. For Ex; "I completed the daily work outs for Monday-Saturday.")
*Drink tons of water!
*I need your high spirits and dedication!
*I need you to have fun!
It's time to fight and I know you are all ready to kick the crap out of those calories!!
This is all honor based so please be honest.
We are all counting on each other so please make sure to do your best! We are only as strong as our lest strongest member!
NOW LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!

I believe it's still % lost but i'll have to double check on that on. Yes there will be Youtube videos provided for the work outs. Our normal weigh in days will be on Sundays. But i really don't like that so maybe as a team we can agree on Friday as weigh in days instead. 0 -

Nobody is going to let anyone down as long as they're doing there best! Scales are horrible so i'm glad this challenge doesn't depend on just what the scale says. 0 -

Sweet! I'm making mine look all purrty before i print it! haha
It's so nice to see that ATLEAST SOMEONE is excited to start this challenge.
WHERE IS ALL MY OTHER TEAM MEMBERS AT?? COME ON GUYS!0 -
globe jumps....ohhhh boy :grumble:
do we put our weights here or a private message to you? and even though we are weighing in by tomorrow morning are we also weighing in on friday as well?
lets bring it team0 -
Wait, so what day is our official weight in? I've had mine set to Sunday for awhile.
Also, random question. I fluctuate my calorie intake. This week I'm at 1200 calories a day, then next week it's 1400, after that 1600, then back to 1200. Is that a problem at all? Should I just switch it to a steady calorie intake for this month?0 -

Haha yup Globe jumps! Tons of fun!!
I would like it if you sent me a private message when weighing in. As for now i decided to just leave to weigh in day on Sunday until we all decide if/when we'd like to change weigh ins to Friday. So send me your starting weight tomorrow and then send me your weight on Sunday as well. 0 -

We'll stay with Sunday for now.
No that shouldn't be a problem. As long as you don't go over your daily calories. If this is what works for you then I’d say don't change a thing. 0 -
Hi everyone! Im so ready for this My goal is to lose 10 lbs this month!0

Hi everyone! Im so ready for this My goal is to lose 10 lbs this month!
Hello!! You can totally make that goal if you stay committed! I'd love to do the same but i'm getting down to my goal weight so it might be hard to lose 10 pounds. I'll still give it my all though! No matter what the stupid scale says!0 -

ggod luck everyone xx0 -
Hi, everyone. My goal this month is to lose 10 pounds! I did it in August and I'm confident that I can do the same in September. Also, that will put me under 200 lbs finally! I'm so excited.
PS. I looked at the Bushman Series and I got overwhelmed. I didn't know what half of those exercises even were! I think for the first week at least, I'm going to do the basic pygmy exercises.0 -
