NOTE! Belinda just posted this on her wall: "This morning we took Bentley in for his 2 month check-up and found out that he has an inguinal hernia and has to have surgery...needless to say today hasn't been a great day and I will not be updating any of my challenges until tomorrow." Since I know Shelley is 6 hours ahead of…

RUH ROH!!!! I, your captain, have failed you. Well, really, I didn't fail YOU, I failed ME. Ok, I didn't so much FAIL as SLIP! There was a birthday party for my boss today and yes, I had a piece of cake. OH SNAP! Sooo... not only will I be doing the daily challenge today, but I will ALSO be doing my C25K- even if it's…

Name/ real name: Malibootie/ Mallorie Goal weight on August 31st : 236 8/01: 241 8/06: 237.8- End of TOM and loss of water weight. I'm not expecting this result every week. 8/13: 8/20: 8/27: 8/31

I am new too and now sure how she does it at the end, but I have access to our team's spreadsheet so at the end I can send to you if you want. It will have all of our weekly changes in weight, daily challenges and weekly challenge as well as beginning and ending measurements (if you wanted to supply them). As for portions-…

Sarge, I can't wait until I am your measurements too! So don't worry, no laughing here. We all know how hard it is to start, work, and then maintain this lifestyle. For the record, here is the weekly info I will need on Sundays from each of you: Weight on Sunday am Whether you completed your daily challenges Whether you…

Ok ladies, here is what we are going to attach and crush this week: "Weekly challenge - FRUITS ANd VEGGIES!! We are supposed to get 5 Fruits and Veggies a day. You can earn 1 point per 5 F/ V that your team consumes. This is for a FULL serving not a partial serving. When you report back to your captain how many fruits and…

Hey guys! It's weigh in day! Please let me know the following: Weight today- If you completed the daily challenges this week- How many of the 4 days you completed the water challenge! Even if you you didn't get through all of it, you all did amazing! The first week is always hard as you start to retrain your body. Enjoy…

Awesome Pen! I completed yesterday's and drank my water and just went for my C25K. I don't think I'll be able to do the 100oz today only because I am working at the hair salon and I have to ask to leave the front desk- they don't really like me leaving 6 times a day.

Thanks Shel- but to be honest, i wasn't working out or eating well at ALL for the last year plus. So, this week is the beginning of the new me. Now, for the good news, and the "news". I did today's Leg Challenge!! I did NOT do my c25K. Once I was done with the leg challenge and all of those lunges and squats I knew there…

I am 37 and like many of you have struggled my whole life. In high school I thought I was SUPER fat- at a size 12. Now I know how great I looked then. But being 5'9 and genetically having extremely large breasts made me very self conscious, stoop over, and thus appear bigger than I actually was. The summer before my 19th…

:laugh: Hey everyone- I hope your teams are all doing well! The arms were ok last night, but I am worried about the abs on Sat. I CAN DO IT! (yea.. this was my way of having an inspirational "bump" )

Shelley, The food may be challenging tomorrow, but the water and the exercise clearly won't be! Between tennis and golf I think it's fair to say you will have worked out. I also have a busy day tomorrow. I will have to get up early to do my C25K and hopefully actually manage to get through the entire first day routine. (I…

You guys are all doing great! Mary, are you still here? Shelley- thanks for posting today and tomorrow's challenges. The abs will be the hardest part for me too. But I should be able to carry out 30 seconds- if not, well, this challenge will help me work up to it, right? I did the arms yesterday and other than the popping…

Way to go Shelley!! I just did my exercises for today and have two more glasses of water to drink. SCORE!

Please let me know if you were able to do the daily challenge yesterday and if you drank the necessary water. Thanks!

My team's spreadsheet is blacked out for yesterday. Is that just a "fill" issue or do you not have the formula attached to that tab yet? I went ahead and started putting in my team's numbers but it is black on black right now. Thanks! Mallorie

Good going Penny!! Malibootie: Wed 8/1 - completed my exercise, did my first day of C25K , drank 120 oz h20 - soooo... OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! Thur 8/2 - Fri 8/3 - Sat 8/4 - Sun 8/5 -

Shelley- I have had 8 glasses and I am running to the loo CONSTANTLY!! I believe that the concept of the water is that A- your body needs to stay hydrated, B- it keeps you feeling full so you don't eat as much, C- torture. :devil: Can everyone tell me what time zone they are in? I realize that we have not on Shelley across…

For this challenge you can either put your daily and weekly numbers here in the post, or in a message to me. Whatever is most comfortable for you, though I think seeing each other's info will help with motivation and support. After all, this isn't the kind of competition where there are losers- EVERYONE WINS!

You are all inspiring me! I used to just think I was "big boned" and no matter what happened I would never look "thin" but several of you have the same body as me. Now I know if I just stick with it I can get my body to a place I thought wasn't possible- and STILL be healthy!

Are you guys sick of me yet? Get used to it- you're stuck with me and I am currently at a temp job and have some time on my hands. PLUS- I am uber excited to get this all going, and while I can't really workout at my desk, I can THINK about working out. If any of you have incredibly low ceilings like I do it makes jumping…

Sarge, I asked if there was a modification to the weekly challenge that you can do to still participate. Here is the option: "Her challenge will be to not drink her calories! So pretty much everything she does drink daily should be calorie free." YAY!

Shelley- yes it is 100 oz per day. I looked up the calculation and that is 2.95735 liters per day for a total of 11.8294 liters today through Saturday. Does that help? Mal

I got the spreadsheet open, but it is view only. Do I have to download it to make changes and then upload it back?

Name/ real name: Malibootie/ Mallorie Goal weight on August 31st : 236 8/01: 241 8/06: 8/13: 8/20: 8/27: 8/31 I know- I'm aiming for SIX lbs in August. Why not reach high right?

Oh yea- and I will have to have someone help me with my measurements too, so I'll post them up here once I have them done. (If nothing else THAT should motivate me!)

Is there anything I can do for a team member who cannot physically drink 100 oz of water a day? Medically, her stomach can only hold 4 oz at a time and is slow to process. I don't know if this has come up before in past challenges so I thought I would ask. She is fine with the daily challenges, just not the weekly. Thanks!…

Sarge, as I said before- do what you can safely do. I think we all understand that there ARE physical limits along they way. While you cannot complete the weekly challenge I have faith you will complete the daily challenges!! Penney- you want to kick me??? :cry: :laugh: :laugh:

GOOD MORNING!!! The weekly and daily challenges have been posted in the group thread- but in case you missed it, I have copied them over here: Welcome to the August team challenge! Weekly Challenge - 100 OZ of water Our weekly challenge is going to be focusing on your water in take. If you manage to reach the 100 oz of…

If I'm already in one challenge- why not make it two? I'm in!!
