The Basics (which will stay the same for the next few weeks!)

Our first challenge runs from January 1st – January 13th.
Also to anyone that has not spoke to their captains, you will be removed from the challenge by Saturday Morning. The group is huge, we do not have the extra time for people who are not dedicated. If you have not spoke to your captain, then please do so asap. If you are not sure who your captain is, check the spreadsheet below.
Captains xls must be updated by 12pm Est on January 14th. As a captain, you can update the xls starting that Friday, January 13th, anytime after 12pm Est. (yes I did change the time, I am giving you a full day to get this done now. Please email me on MFP that you have finished updating your teams XLS tab.)

Immunuity
On each team, the person with the highest % of weight loss has IMMUNITY. (until we are down to a smaller group) 
Each team will have a chance for Immunity as well, this will be the team with the highest % of weight loss (until we are down to a smaller group). 


Eliminations
Eliminations will be based on the lowest % of weight loss for that weigh in. The two teams with the lowest amount will have two people up for Elimination. Each of those two people will email me (subject must say the week, team... example Week 1, Bluesers) and then in the body, you will tell me what you did for the week and why you should say. I will decide which one from each team stays, and we will move the other two people into the "At Home Prize" Category. 
Eliminations will change up a bit, as we dwindle to the end. I will keep you updated on that as well. 


Once each team gets their first week challenge pictures to me, I will post the 1st challenge info. I know everyone is curious. I will do this every week as well. After the first week, we will have "highlighted" info, such as the team with the highest %, etc. 

Here is the link again, in case you want to watch what happens each week or check your info. (I will update the main team tab once all of the weights have been updated on each tabs xls.)

TEAM CHALLENGE!!



Our first team challenge is.... BURPEES! I know how everyone loves them so much. You dont know what a Burpee is? Here is an explanation.
The burpee is a full body exercise used in strength training and as aerobic exercise. It is performed in four steps, and was originally known as a "four-count Burpee":
1.Begin in a standing position.
2.Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground.
3.Extend your feet back in one quick motion to assume the front plank position.
4.Do one pushup
5.Return to the squat position in one quick motion.
6.Return to an upright standing position.
7. One jumping jack

I know they are a little different then the regular burpee, but I combined a few different burpees together. Just do the best you can. I am not going to tell you how many to do, but I will throw in an iccentive, the person that does the most burpees, must email me by the 13th. In the subject, you will tell me how many burpees you did for the two weeks. This person will have Immunity. The person with the second most burpees will have a 1lb advantage. Sound good? I know they are hard but they are also very good for you. (and if you tell me you did 5000 burpees, I am not going to believe you!! So please be honest, its not like we are offering a $1,000,000 at the end of this)

Now onto the different team challenges. I am not going to give a detailed explanation of each teams challenge. I could be here all day for that. I am just going to show the picture the captain submitted.
