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

Wk 5 challenge runs from February 4th - February 10th .
Captains xls must be updated by 12pm Est on February 11th. As a captain, you can update the xls starting that Friday, February 10th, 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 as well 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 I 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 I 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. .

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!!

1. Do not forget that plis are due this Monday, 2/6/12 at 8pm.
An explanation is on the Superbowl challenge.

2. Our weekly team challenge is Steps. We all have some sort of steps around us, weather inside our outside of our house.
We have done a lot of upper body/floor work, so I figured we would do something standing up.

Using the steps in your home, you can do repetitions which will tone your leg muscles. (Just remember to be careful!)

Each repitition is after both the left and right have done a step. So right foot on the step, left foot on the step is one
repition. If you have a stepper, even better! I wish I had one!!

There is not going to be a cooking challenge this week. We are using the 'Superbowl Challenge" for this week.

    I'm out of this challenge :-( doc says no strenuous activity for atleast a week...... gotta go to the chiropractor for 3 more times this week... irritating. Goodluck everyone!
  • So if we don't have any stairs anywhere, home or work even, can we use a chair and count that as two steps??

    Perfect for me!! I am training for "Trek the Tower" at the end of this month so I am all about stairs. It has 40 floor & 870 steps from the ground floor to the top of our tallest building in Omaha so I have been doing a TON of stairs :)
  • A chair is fine and can count as two.
    The stepper thing at the gym is fine too!

    Love this challenge
  • I have 3 finished floors in my house and run up and down them what feels like a million times a day, on a normal day. When I first moved here, my legs would get tired and sore, just from my everyday normal life.

    I'll see if I can keep track!
