Team WEAPONS OF MASS REDUCTION - September forum 1

Tank Girl--Whatever works for you! Spreadsheet or this thread is fine. I think Ralph can read it just fine either way.

Choir Girl--The monthly challenge is to follow your food plan aka challenge level aka custom plan. It's whatever you set for yourself. The weekly and daily challenges are specific rules to follow each day or week (depending on the type of challenge it is...daily challenge=follow it that day....weekly challenge=follow it that week)...HOPE THIS CLEARS THE AIR

If one fails the weekly challenge, you do NOT fail the monthly challenge....here's how it works... you have 3 opportunities to earn points each day for a total of 3 points per day:

1 pt = follow your food plan aka monthly challenge-->this is why it was confusing to me too...the way it's named makes me think it's something you must do for the entire month in order to "complete"

1 pt = follow your weekly plan (see the weekly plan laid out for us each sunday or on the excel spreadsheet. i will try to update it as soon as i hear it from Ralph).

1 pt = follow your daily plan (see the daily plain laid out for us each sunday or on the excel spreadsheet. i will try to update it asap after ralph posts it here).

THEN you have opportunities to earn more points through weight loss at the end of the week:

1 pt / 1 pound lost

ALSO the ENTIRE TEAM WOMR has an opportunity to earn 5 points if EVERY PERSON was able to follow their MONTHLY PLAN aka food plan for EVERY DAY of that week....this 5 points goes to the TEAM, not the individual's points.

Hope that clears it up!

Here's the new spreadsheet revised with more clarifications in case if people are still confused:

I guess it makes sense to bookmark it or add to favorites for your reference on the weekly/daily challenges and the challenge level you chose.

WEAPONS OF MASS REDUCTION - LET DO THIS!!!!

BTW...

This Thursday (9/8/11) will be no processed foods day, 100% natural foods only....

I just wanted to clarify to those out there also struggling with "processed foods" .... because there are many definitions of what constitutes "processed".

If you google or wiki the words "processed foods" there are many definitions. I think for this challenge, try to come up with your own challenge as to how you want to define "processed".

I had eggs and feta for breakfast and was totally prepared to go vegetarian the rest of the day, but remembered I had a fresh piece of salmon in the fridge and there was no way I was letting it go to waste. So I had fish today, too. I am trying to be as purist and diesel as I can about this challenge since I already eat pretty clean. My overall personal challenge is to stay paleo/primal for the month. Let's take a vote....is salmon meat in regards to today's challenge? If so, I'm a 2 for today.

9/5 (Not sure if I completed daily challenge in a pure sense), weekly, and monthly challenges completed

I saw RalphCurt at the Rib Cook-off TODAY!
