    I better post to keep track!!

    Day 1 (Mon) - missed it - will do on Sunday
    Day 2 (Tues) - Done: moves, own workout, got water, under cal, BONUS MILE
    Day 3 (Wed) - Done: moves + walking, own workout, got water, under cal :happy:

    The Bushmen moves lost me a while back. :laugh:

    Don't give up on bushmen!! Try to mix some of it in with Pygmy =)

    Nice job either way.

    Did an extra 150 jumping jacks, 150 crunches (ended up being more like 300 because I did them before class and then we did some more...*sigh) and 50 windshield wipers on top of what I did this morning. Today was a good day!

    Since I just joined yesterday, I am not fully caught up yet, but I will be!

    Day 1-totally finished
    Day 2- totally finished!
    Day 3- I worked both jobs, didn't get it finished, I just got the walking in.

    I will try to check in daily, but I substitute teach fr 2 different districts and work in retail hell while trying to raise my pup and kitten.
    Thanks!

    Great job you guys and thanks for posting in the forum...it's nice to see everyone's progress!

    My week so far:

    Day 1-all pygmy moves done, all water, under cals, and extra 1.5 miles (3 miles total)
    Day 2-all pygmy moves done, all water, under cals, and extra miles (2.48)
    Day 3-all pygmy moves done, all water, under cals, and I'm about to go do my miles

    This is on top of all the exercises and requirements I'm doing for my other challenges (4 total). I really love MFP, you all keep me motivated. I actually feel crappy now if I skip a workout! Keep up the great work team!

    Thanks, I was a little worried but I staggered signing up for them so I knew I could handle it. This one and the zombie challenge I'm in are by far the most work. The other two are a little more low key. I try to go to the rec center at school 4 times/week but I do most of the stuff at home. I have an elliptical (got a super cheap one from Walmart) so I'll hop on that while watching a movie, etc. When I started on here I knew I'd need more outside motivation to get going and these challenges have been awesome. I feel like I'm more accountable, and since I don't want to let my teams down I just get up and do it. Now it seems to be ingrained, and I don't feel as well if I skip any days.

    Have been under my calories and gotten my water in all the days. Sorry, so far no extra miles. I was planning on doing extra today, but right in the middle of my run, some Jehovah's Witnesses rang the door bell and completely threw me off my groove. :tongue: And I'm nice, so I chatted with them, gave them some water and by the time they left, I just couldn't get back into it. So I finished my min. I need for the challenge and stopped. Oh, well, tomorrow is another day. :smile:
  • todays callenges done along with 60 mins of dancing an a 1 mile jog :)

    Managed to get in 6.3 miles on the elliptical. I'm on track to get all 6 points for the weekly challenge. I'll finish up the daily exercises tonight, tomorrow, and sunday morning.

    Edit: I just realized 19.4 miles equals > 30 km (I would totally have crashed the satellite working for NASA) so I'm set on the weekly challenge =)

    # of days you did the bonus (1 mile extra for pygmy or 5K extra for bushmen)

    Looks like we're doing great team!!

    Current Weight (NOT lbs lost) 184
    Daily: 5/6 days completed (the workouts)
    Weekly: 5/6 days completed (the water/calorie challenge)
    Mini: 2/3 days (the extra walking, right?)

    100 jumping jacks are totally killer for me. I did my today to catch up for Monday. I went home for a couple days, and that's when I missed everything for one day, and clearly had a little gain, but last week's loss was insane. It's probably the water weight back, since I can actually DRINK the water at home... The water here is terrible!

    tanisha... No worries! Just one day off is excellent!

    moonnstarz... Way to catch up!

    Great job you three! And thanks for getting your info in! This evening I'll post next week's challenges (though you can also check them out here: http://mfpchallenges.blogspot.com/) and if everyone checks in today I'll also post our points for this week.

    Great work everyone!!!

    Just another reminder to check in today! I have already received stats from the following people: moonnstarz83, tanisha1990, bens_mommy (who unfortunately can't continue the challenge this month), steph_135, ZannahDia, and myself. So I still need check in messages from 4 of you...just make sure you send them in before bed tonight.

    So far I'm really impressed, keep up the great work! I'm going to start doing shout outs to individuals when I post the stats for the week (most lost, etc.). Here is what I need this week:


    Current weight
    # of days the daily challenges were completed (out of 6)
    # of days the weekly team challenge was completed (out of 6)
    # of days you did the bonus (1 mile extra for pygmy or 5K extra for bushmen)

    Also we need one more person for our team...let me know if you have friends who are interested!!!
  • ArroganceInStep
    ArroganceInStep Posts: 6,239 Member
    Current weight is 290
    I did 6 out of 6 days for the weekly challenge (Friday and Saturday were brutal since I went over my calories and had to burn them off)
    I only managed to get 4 out of 6 days for the weekly challenge though.

    I'm confused about why you seperated the weekly challenge and the bonus, I thought they were one in the same.

    "Week Two Weekly Team Challenge
    Same water and calories challenge plus Walk, Run or Jog a 5K this week. For each day you do a 5K (3.1 miles your team will get an additional bonus point. 1 point per day per participant)"

    If they're separate, I got 6 out of 6 for the bonus challenge too.

    I leave for Hawaii next week...no idea how I'm going to manage to get this stuff in for that week...

    I am so excited that we did so good! GO TEAM NANOOSE! Thanks for all the support everyone, I know since Ijoined late that it was a real challenge to catch up, but I LOVE a challenge! Its even harder working so much and raising my 2 furry kids! I can't wait to see what next weeks challenge is, but we can do it!!!

    My weekly results:

    weight: 202.2
    6 of 6 of days exercises completed
    4 of 6 of days team challenge completed (I was in my calorie goals all week but messed up two days of water)
    2 extra miles done today

    Hope you all are doing great! I did well on my food, but I was at a cooking competition Friday-Saturday (The team took home 4 trophies - one of which was MINE for 1st place Cream Pie! :happy: ) and so my water intake was really low. :ohwell: Sorry bout that everyone! I'll do better next week! (Although, another cooking comp this Friday-Saturday. Wish me luck!)
  • Hey, all! I'm a new member to your team. My old team disbanded this morning, but Sara (scantrll) told me you had an opening, so I filled it! :smile: So, to introduce myself: I'm Shannon. I"m 24 and I've been logging on MFP for about 6 months. I am loving this challenge because I am "that girl" -- who does almost all cardio and can't seem to find the motivation to incorporate strength training. But this challenge has certainly changed that! I'm so stoked to be back on a team!

    I updated our captain with my stats thus far... I've lost 1.5 pounds so far and I've done all of the daily and weekly challenges so far, minus that 3-minute bear walk bonus from week one. These were my stats from this past week (week 2):

    Current Weight -- 167.5
    # of days of daily exercises -- 6/6
    # of days of weekly challenge -- 6/6
    mini challenge -- 3/3

    So far, I have been doing the Pygmy challenges at a minimum... but I add in most of the Bushmen exercises as well. This upcoming week looks challenging but totally doable. I'm pumped to be your newest teammate!!

    shannonaufman... Welcome!

    scantrll... Great work!!

    rtalencar... Excellent job! Sometimes I get confused about what is what and what is separate. I'm kind of relying on Michele to let me/us know if we need to adjust the way we tally or post it. :bigsmile:

    "Week Two Weekly Team Challenge

    If they're separate, I got 6 out of 6 for the bonus challenge too.

    So for the BUSHMEN series you had to run/walk/jog ONE 5K this week plus do the calorie/water thing. If you did the 5K and kept under cal and drank all the water you get 6/6 for the weekly challenge.

    For each day that you ran an additional 5K you get a bonus point.

    So, they way you have it stated I'd be giving you 6/6 for the weekly challenge and then an additional 5 bonus points. {BTW-great work running SIX 5Ks this week--that's amazing!!!!}

    For the PYGMY challenge, you get a bonus point for each day you did ONE mile above what was required that day.

    Does that make more sense?? So for check-in I need to know the # of days you did a 5k (Bushmen) or mile (pygmy) above what was required. :)

    I'll work on making these more clear!

    I'm only missing check-ins for two people now, great job everyone!! Also, as you can tell we have a new teammate: shannonaufman...add her as a friend :):flowerforyou:

    Also, we have poodlehepler joining us on the forum. Her participation won't count towards our team points but she'd like to follow along and see if this is something she wants to do next month. :drinker:

    Keep up the great work everyone, our numbers are looking great! I'll be posting the new exercises ASAP.
