Here is the new link. There must be a limit of 20 pages.
The Challenge will begin July 8, 2011 and will go until October 8, 2011. There will be 2 parts to our challenge. Weight loss that will be calculated by using a formula that will take in consideration your weight loss %, BMI and fat %. The 2nd part is your work out/exercise time.
On July 8, 2011 give your starting weight, waist measurement, neck measurement, hip measurement, forearm measurement and bust measurement.
Then each following Friday give your updated weight, measurements and exercise totals for the week. The formula takes in account inches loss, muscle gain, BMI reduction and weight loss. Which is not goood but great because sometimes we don't loss weight but inches and I know that you get discourage because I do. I've had to keep telling myself that getting healthly doesn't just mean losing the pounds but it is also being able to workout an hour without feeling like I'm going to die and losing the inchs. I keep telling myself that it all has to come together and seeing the results on paper-helps to bring everyting to reality.
I will chart everyones progress and post the biggest loser for each week. Then at the end of the 3 months I will post the overall Biggest Loser. I know that we can do this and be there for each other. Yes, I'm challenging all of MFP to make me accountable for my actions. Lets do this....
Watch for team & individual challenges.

This upcoming week team challenge will be to keep under your target calories and to drink 64 oz. of water a day. Good luck & make this last day count.
Individual Challenge: need to set a goal for yourself.
Make sure that you check the results. There will be some changes again this week.

My personal goal is to work out 5/7 days this week. With school &all my studying, the kids, my dad in the hospital, a wedding, and labor day i know this will be hard. The reason I want to make this goal is because i know it will relieve stress from all of the above activities and keep me still focused on my weighloss.0

Mini Challenge for this upcoming week is to do the bear walk for 3 minutes. It sounds real easy but it works alot more muscle groups than you think. No rest for the 3 minutes you have to keep moving. If everyone in the team completes the mini challenge your team will receive an extra point. This is in addtional to the team challenge & the individual challeng.
The team challenge & individual challenge is posted above & will be posted with the results.0 -
