HELLLLLLOOOOOOO TEAM!!!!

First of all, thank you SO much for agreeing to be on my team. I'm excited to have you all flying with me. We have a kick *kitten* team and we're going to rock this challenge!!!! Welcome back to my original KnottyGirls and to Gary who so kindly rowed with me and my girls at the end. And also to our new team members, so glad to have you with us. I think you'll both fit in just fine. :-)

So, onto business.....Just so you know how it works, here's the info that Lee posted on how the challenge will work:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/342758-those-magnificent-mfp-s-in-their-flying-machines-plug

Basically, what you guys need to do is send me a PM with your calories burned at the end of each day. The end. For those that are new to this game, last time, Lee has special games throughout the week - double/triple/quadruple days, rest/water days, kidnap another team's crewmate, etc. Assuming he plays these again, I will make sure to let everyone know what is happening when.

I will be tracking our calories burned/miles on a google spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArutZf2a6Ry5dEtxRW0zcW9RWDNjaGNSZXNGS2taNmc&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0
You guys can take a look any time you like to see how we're doing.

The map to track how we're doing in relation to the rest of the teams is here:

Okay, now for the fun part!!!! Our team consists of the following MFPeeps:

KnottyJen (Jen)
Lachsis (Sandy)
Kinda79 (Kinda)
HotSouthernMess (Toni)
njava87 (Nikki)
500lbs2marathon (Gary)
k2quiere (Bobbie)
mojo75 (Greg)

Friend one another if you aren't already. Love one another, because that's what makes me happy. And you're all about making MEEEEE happy, right??? ;-)

We need to come up with a team name. The whole premise this time is flying machines, so if you have flight-inspired names, please share. After coming up with some ideas, we'll take a vote and decide. If anyone's super creative and can come up with something that includes my *now* trademark Knotty, I will love you forever. :-)

Okay, final instruction.... Reply here and give a brief intro on who the hell you are. *giggles*

    *waves* I'm Jen....Duh...

    You guys all know me, but since I wanna lead by example......

    I'm nearly 30, live in a suburb of Chicago, I've been at this weightloss thing since April and as of this morning, I'm down 91 lbs! Woot! When I'm not working my *kitten* off at the gym, I like to cook, do fun makeup, watch a plethora of tv shows, and, um....Flirt? Not that any of you would know ANYTHING about that..........*looks around innocently*

    I'm SO not good with coming up with creative names, so please tell me someone else has some good ideas.

    Thanks Lovers!!!! *muah*


    ETA: Dang!!! Look at yall getting in here first! Feeling the LOOOOVVVVVE already!

    My name is Kinda, no not kinda like I kinda like you, more like Linda but with a K! :happy: :laugh:

    Okay anyway, I'm a mom of 4 and just recently found out I'm going to be having my 5th, yes I know I'm nuts it's okay I agree! Anyway, I've lost 20 lbs so far and I'm NOT going to let this pregnancy get in my way of getting healthy, it's just going to change a few things around instead. I love to work out and my whole family and I are doing this journey of changing our lifestyle to a healthier one. I used to be an active person and I will again!!!

    Anywho, I like to joke, tease and have a good time because I believe laughter is the key to being happy in life. Therefore expect lots of teasing and smiles coming from my direction. CHEEZ!!!!!! :bigsmile:

    I'm looking forward to this challenge and flying together!! *mauh*

    By the way Jen is super amazing and I LOVE that girl!! *smooches babe*

    Ok, so this is me, the kitten (well actually right now i'm a cupcake with wings ROFL but usual I'm a kittycat), name Sandy. I'm 34, live in Germany, own a little tea & choc shop in the Ore Mountains, which means working 9 hours straight each day, and teach 6 Zumba classes a week (yes, totally a dance mouse here). I'm down 84 lbs so far, 20 more to go or so.

    I was a member of Jen's last team and really look forward to the new challenge. October will be THE month. I wanna fit into the sexiest Halloween costume ever (I just have no clue yet what it will be, so suggestions are welcome LOL)

    Oh, and I vote for Gary's teamname suggestion ^^^ =^-^=

    Good evening...I'm typing this on exhaustion, so please forgive me. I'm Bobbie, and I'm an educator...they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right? Damn, wrong meeting, AGAIN! I really am a teacher by trade, profession, and calling; right now, I'm a teacher coach, so to speak. I like to have fun, and I find myself funny regularly. I mean, if you can't laugh at yourself, right??? I love to workout, which I believe is why Jen picked me, and I love challenges because they keep me working out.

    I have twin girls, BOTH 18, 2 dogs and 2 cats, and a boyfriend who wants to get married and have babies...hmmm...still thinking about that one :noway: Anyways, I'm looking forward to this challenge and getting to know all of you!!!

    Okay, so normally, I would ask everyone to vote on names and all that crap. This time, I'm not. I fecking LOVE Gary's suggestion. We're going with Knotty Airlines, Flight 69.

    Life is TOTALLY hectic for me right now, but Monday I'll be off work and will make us a banner and find us a plane for the map. I have some ideas.... :devil: :devil: This is going to be awesome.

    I haven't been able to get a hold of Toni. And still waiting on Nikki to say what's up in here....Will bother them both again. That's all!!!

    :smooched: :smooched: :smooched:

    Geez....What a slacker....

    I didn't do the banner or the plane/placeholder yesterday. I needed a day of recovery. Soon, though. I promise.

    Okay my wonderful friends in flight....I made the banner and our marker for the map. I sent Lee the marker, so that should be up there soon. Here's the link for our banner:

    Change both IMG to lowercase, if you want to use it in your sig. I have a smaller and larger version, if you want either one, let me know.

    How is everyone doing? Are we flying high and far yet? I've already gotten 1400 calories in and am getting ready to do a ton of walking tonight. I hope everyone else is out there moving something.

    Just wanted to tell you all that I love you each and you're all doing a great job!!!

    I, on the other hand, have not been such a good example. :-( This week has been throwing a lot of crap at me, but I promise to get on it today. Going to the pool tonight, so I should have a good 1000ish burn tonight.

    Thank you all for being awesome. *smooches*

    Kicking *kitten* as usual
  • KnottyJen
    KnottyJen Posts: 1,070 Member
    I am failing as captain, Guys. I'm sorry I've been such a slacker!! Life being busy is no excuse. I'm getting back on the damn horse tonight. I *will* be back at the gym tonight. I promise. And if I don't, someone really needs to come kick my *kitten*.

    As a result of my captain slacking-ness, I also haven't gotten totals to Lee since Tuesday of last week. Greg is sending me his numbers later today and then I'll get our totals out to Lee. I'll also give you guys some updates on where we're standing in relation to the other teams and how everyone on our team has been doing.

    Also!!! Exciting news!!! Lee is throwing in a special day this week!!! On Thursday, we'll have the opportunity to attack another team. For those of you who are new to Lee's challenges, this means that we'll pick one team on Thursday that we want to attack. At the end of the day, that captain will have to report back to me with the highest burn on their team, which we will get to add to our total. Some of these teams have some HUGE burners, so this could be an enormous advantage. So, put on your thinking caps, my Knotty Hotties. Which team do you think we should attack??? If you have some high burning friends that are on another team, let me know. I'll stalk them, er, um....Check out their diaries....And figure out who will be the best choice for us to hit on Thursday.

    Again, I apologize for my lack of motivation this last week. I feel bad about it and I'm getting back to it. I promise.

    Team Lighter than Air...Meerkat has outrageous burns, as do some of their other members. She was the winner of the Jabba the Hut Challenge.
