    Ok Waist Watchers...Here are the rules and scoring info:


    ********************
    THE CHALLENGE
    ********************

    Each day there is a different set of challenges.

    One challenge will be a NUTRITION based goal (such as 'be under calories', 'drink x glasses of water' , 'eat 3 servings of fruit;)

    One challenge will be a PHYSICALLY based goal (such as 50 squats, 20 dumbell flys, etc)

    You want to do your best to complete each of those.

    Also...for EVERY 20 MIN of cardio, we get points...so get as much as possible each day!

    ***************************
    HOW SCORING WORKS
    ****************************

    Nutrition Challenge Met = 5 Points
    Physical Challenge Met = 10 Points
    Every 20 Minutes Of Cardio = 10 Points


    **************************
    SUNDAY IS REST DAY
    **************************

    On Sundays, we collect points for every 8oz of water we drink. Each cup of water that our team drinks will be worth 10 points, up to a team max of 500 points (or 50 cups). The nutrition challenge for that day will also be up for grabs (but not the exercise challenge).

    Nutrition Challenge Met = 5 Points
    8oz Of Water = 10 Points

    So, on Sundays we have the potential of earning 525 points. Pretty big bump!!!

    *********************************
    REPORTING YOUR SCORES
    *********************************

    Keeping it simple...All you need to do is post your results here daily.

    I tally them and send them off to the challenge coordinator.

    Please just be faithful and report them by the end of your day so first thing in the morning I can submit.


    ****************************
    WIN THE WEEK BONUS
    ****************************

    There will be a bonus for the winning team each week.

    The prize will be ONE five point bonus.

    So, for the team that wins this week, if they have a day next week where they did REALLY poorly, they will have the opportunity to use their winning bonus and tack on 5 extra points.

    fri -

    diet - no. fat was about all i did not make today :(. dh brought home something they call heavenly dirt from work. its a custard type thing with some chocolate something in it. i had about 3 bites and logged it in as a whole peice of chocolate cheesecake. it's probably worse than logged. :explode:

    extra: 96 minutes. going to try some of the challenges again this week though.

    welcome to our new members. the nice this group is it's very small, and the participants very nice. at least mho. feel free to join in.

    Hey there! Sorry I didn't do this last night - went out for dinner (so I am not under my fat, unfortunately).

    BUT:

    (Also, thanks for letting me in to the LTL Challenge!!)

    Whew...Rough Day For Me...
    Hope Your Day Was Better Today Ladies!!!:heart:

    I was away from the house for 20 Hours...nutrition was a flop and no excercise either...and just too exhausted to do any now!:sad:

    Not setting a great example as captain...especially for our new teammates...but I WILL COMEBACK STRONG!

    Let me know how Saturday was for all of you....
    And remember....SUNDAY IS REST DAY....COUNT YOUR WATER AND NUTRITION....:drinker:

    Bad, bad day for me today. No excercise due to a strained Achilles tendon. Was away from the house so nutrition was over almost everything. Sorry guys!!!

    Water = 8
    carbs = under......


    I did some exercise today too. not a ton.....just gearing up. i am going to BURN SOME MAJOR GYM CALORIES this week. After a couple of weeks there, I'm finally picking up on where i can burn some calories and/or not so good for me. I'm still losing no weight, but did lose another inch off my waist. I might have to just heave the scale out of the door soon.

    Sunday:
    bad day...
    not under carbs, no extra exercise, 7 cups of water.

    Also, sorry I keep taking so long - I'm used to just using my phone and am finding it hard to get to my computer to give updates.
