Hey, I started level 1, workout A yesterday. I used really light weights because I wasn't sure how much I could handle. Today I went for a run which was probably a bad idea because now my whole body is exhausted. Looking forward to workout B tomorrow.

I see we don't have an MFP on the final page. Can I nominate Angi for being such an awesome team captain?

That sounds awesome! Is it an American show or is it happening this side of the pond?

Thank you Cindy. And thanks to all the team captains who also worked so hard to keep this challenge going. it was lots of fun, now how to entertain myself till October...

Ok I have managed to make a photo with writing on it but cant bring myself to post it! its too cringe worthy! Does it still count if I get someone else to post it? that way it can't be traced back to me and hopefully won't be seen by people on MFP who I know in real life! Ellie, to make it i inserted the photo into a word…

I hope he is ok Shelley! Family definitely comes first so don't worry about getting the challenge finished. I managed to get my cardio done and one of the punishments but I haven't done any strength training. Does anyone have 90 minutes extra??? or, since 30 minutes of my cardio was a cardio pilates workout which could be…

wow! thats amazing!! I haven't lost any weight but ill take my measurements tomorrow so fingers crossed they have gone down! Shelley, did you hit the 100lbs bench press?

Glad to hear you are feeling better Dazz, it gives me hope that some day I will feel better too! My week so far has been: Monday I was so weak and dizzy all day that I fainted, Wednesday I was vomiting, and today I woke up feeling like I was coming down with a terrible cold. Ugh, I just want some energy. I went for an easy…

I know my goal was bodyfat related but I can't remember what my initial % was! I don't think I have lost any though :mad: Also, I have not done any strength training this week. I had no strength to do it but I have managed some cardio. Think I have over 200 minutes done and i will do more tomorrow. I hate being sick!

Ok, ill try to find time to do my fitspo this week. Today I learned that it is not a good idea to go running the day after a stomach bug. I managed to run for 3 minutes and then I had to run for a toilet! not fun!:sick: I did manage to get in a half hour walk though so I am slowly heading towards the cardio target. I have…

hey guys, I just watched it. wow! although im disappointed that the series ended with more questions than answers. I hate waiting! :angry: I am having another bad week this week. I'll have no trouble staying within my calories because I have a stomach bug and cannot eat but unfortunately I can't workout either. Im hoping…

Wow, crossfit sounds hard!! are pistol squats the ones that you do on one leg? ouch!! Your weekend plans sounds amazing Angi. I am so jealous that you get to do so much outdoor stuff. I spend a lot of days here in the water but its mostly falling from the sky and very cold! :grumble: I think I already mentioned my weekend…

So im not doing as badly as I anticipated this week but I still think I will need some strength minutes. i just did half an hour of pilates (which I am counting as strength?) so now I am only 30 minutes short there. I probably wont manage to get that done though. I also haven't done any of the punishment because even…

Dazz, that is awful, i hate when a sickness drags on like that. And its such a pain not being able to work out, i hate missing gym sessions because i am afraid that when I go back i won't be able to do as much as if I had kept going. Angi, i am just going to visit my parents. My sister is moving to England in a couple of…

Thanks Shelley. Today is meant to be my gym day but I have decided not to go and to rest my back instead. I think I hurt it by doing one bad form squat on Friday but it wasn't too bad until I tried to work out on it on Monday. i did a set of Romanian Deadlifts and that really hurt it so i think resting is the way to go. I…

Dazz, I am glad to hear you are feeling better. that was a nasty dose that you got. I one again am being a bad team mate and I am going to struggle to meet my numbers this week. My back was sore in the gym yesterday and I couldn't do a lot of the exercises i normally do so I decided to do some pilates today. But I think…

Hi everyone. I am back!! I was afraid to come near the boards until I had watched the episode in case of spoilers! Another awesome episode. The romantic in me loved seeing Glen and Maggie get back together. I'm a little concerned about the security of terminus though, it seems strange that people can just walk in. Can't…

Hey, Very quick check in before I am without my laptop for a weekend again. I am doing ok this week. not great, but ok. I have 75 mins left of cardio to get in so Im hoping to get out for a long walk/run tomorrow but I have my punishment and strength training done. Calories may be difficult so i might be letting the team…

Hi everyone. Happy Paddy's Day!! I had a great weekend of partying so tomorrow i will have to put in a fairly intense workout at the gym to recover from it! I was going to climb a mountain today with some friends but my knee is still a little sore so I decided it wasn't a good idea. Which was a shame because it was a…

me too, we don't need anybody else!! :drinker:

Yay!! I was going to pipe in with another 'don't you dare quit on us!' but I see you got the message! :laugh: I know its cliched but it is the taking part that counts, not the winning. In 6 months time none of us will remember who won this challenge but we will all remember how awesome it was so don't worry about the team,…

Im not a huge fan of the layout but so far each individual episode has been great. I think that it will be the end of the season before they all meet up again but i thought some of the groups would be coming together more at this stage.

I don't watch castle but the episode where he dresses up as a space cowboy for halloween is awesome! This is the best thread ever. Now I am off to watch some Firefly! :smile:

wow, we are down to 6th place! The only team behind us is the walker hoard! Michonne better show and start killing! Ellie, congratulations on MVP. I think you deserved it because you were very forthcoming with help last week for both myself and Dazz.

wow, what a great episode!! Who the hell took Beth?? I don't like Joe, I was looking at him thinking I knew the actor from somewhere and I realised he played a really scary psycho vampire in Buffy! So yes, I think Daryl will take them all out! Still no sign of Michonne and on the preview for next week it only showed…

I have had a pretty lazy day. I have done lots and lots of cleaning over the last few days to prepare for the party next weekend so that has been my main source of exercise - today I was actually stiff getting up from all the bending over and scrubbing I did yesterday! Roll on the Walking Dead!! I have a feeling Michonne…

i have managed to hit all the exercise minimums this week but I am going over on calories! Sorry team, I was going to just about make it but then I found beer. And we are watching rugby. you can't not drink beer when there is rugby on!! Even Michonne herself would agree (or at least Beth would!). sorry guys!

Really? I have never heard it used that way. Its not really racist, just a term which is no longer PC. The proper term for Travellers used to be tinkers because traditionally they made things with tin. People from an older generation still call them that but it is not the correct term anymore. It a bit like calling a black…

I do agree that body weight exercises are great. My issue was with jillian saying not to use weights because we would get 'bulky'. her rationale for everything seems to be heavily based on broscience and i think she MUST know that she is giving out false information. Her workouts are great for calorie burns but I don't…

Thanks Cindy, I agree, those posts around christmas were depressing. So many people get so caught up in weight loss that they lose the ability to enjoy their lives at all. And when people say that food is not something to enjoy and is just fuel that makes me sad. I love food! I had to look up what a Monroe piercing was. I…
