I'm a few days late to the party, but I also wanted to say thanks to Cindy, as well as to the rest of my group that actually stuck through it till the end; all both of you! lol. Team Rick was the smallest one in the Advanced bracket from the start and only got smaller as time went on; I personally enjoyed being part of a…

Oh snap. Abraham's being more useful than our actual team character! Ok, I've got all of your messages and recorded our averages. Our numbers this week are 372.5 minutes of cardio, 165 minutes of strength training, and everyone stayed within their goals for the week (just like every other week because our team is awesome).…

It was literally the first thing I thought when I saw her frying up food. "Oh god, they're luring people in and killing them to feed their own community." It didn't help that they showed bunches of gardens on the way into Terminus but not a single livestock animal, yet they're grilling meat. The first time I was actually…

I honestly hadn't driven a manual transmission until I bought my current Jeep when I was 23. I'm 30 now and refuse to buy an automatic. I like the manual SO much more. Any time I'm driving my (automatic) Stratus, I just feel constantly annoyed, like the car doesn't trust me to do it right or something. I was curious how…

I think everybody hates car shopping. Anyone who doesn't is different and strange. Anyway, I've got your reports and this week's number. Our averages this week were 371.25 minutes of cardio (up 20 minutes from last week) and 171.25 minutes of strength training (down 10 from last week), and, just like every other week,…

Another week without any sign of Rick or Abraham. Yay! But hey, one team just got taken out entirely, so I suppose it could be worse. Anyway, I've compiled your reports for the previous week. All in all it's quite good; our averages are up considerably from last week's low points. Our final averages are 358.75 minutes of…

Sorry if I was dropping the ball on communication this week; been wrapped up in other things and I've found it's frankly more stressful looking for a new job than it is keeping your old one. I feel like my head is about to explode at my next interview. Anyway, I've got everyone's reports and Rick managed to not get killed…

Posting from my phone at work so I'll be brief! The week's punishment is a quick circuit training routine: 1 min jumping jacks; 10 sit ups/roll ups/crunches; 1 min jump rope; 1 min side plank (30 sec each side); 5 burpees.

I got called in to work so I'm just going to roll with Emily's suggestion earlier, as it looks perfectly sound to me.

I like the idea of a little circuit rather than a single activity for several minutes at a time.

If anyone has any input on the punishment, I'm all ears; I haven't seen last night's episode yet anyway. And yes, Abraham is definitely my vote for the new character addition.

April, you can blame me for the sinus infection as well; I also have one of those. I just can't catch a break, apparently. Bio time! Yay! You may have gathered from my user name that my name is Chris. I'm 30 years old and have been with my wife for 8, though we have an assortment of pet rats rather than children so far…

Either Abraham or Tara would be great. Rosita seems like she'd at least rack up some kills, but let's be honest here; she's young, pretty, not white, and plot-irrelevant, so she's probably going to be dead within the next two episodes. Oh, I totally do the same thing. There are days I eat 2500-2700 calories and then just…

Looking damn good this week, guys! I've received all of your check-in messages and everyone's been within their diet quotas. This week, our team's cardio average was 391.6 minutes (mostly due to aprilyankee being some sort of cardio-powered robot) and our strength training average was back up to 176 minutes. Now let's just…

Hahah. Clearly, I have to come back with a vengeance this week to make up for doing so little last week. Yeah, same here; I saw Dazillion's offer and didn't bother to respond since I don't mind doing squats anyway.

Ok, everything's entered into my spreadsheet and averaged out. Our averages for this week were 292.5 minutes of cardio, 96.25 minutes of strength training, and everyone was within their weekly calorie goals! Our strength training average took a hit because last week I racked up over 9 hours of it and this week I was out…

Hey guys, sorry I've been quiet this week. I got all of your messages and will plug all of your results into my spreadsheet momentarily. I came down with pneumonia and spent basically the last four days barely able to get out of bed, so I'm counting myself as inactive this week; your averages will just be from you four…

Carl totally stole our only kill. I demand half credit for that one that Rick hit in the head with an axe!

Just FYI, our team's average this week was 270 minutes of cardio and 186 minutes of strength training, and everyone met their individual goals/limits as well.

If I had to have one and only one, I'd pick the elliptical. I can run on the sidewalk if need be. I also burn a hell of a lot more calories on the elliptical than I do on the treadmill in the same period of time.

I figure mine's a real brain-bender.

I now have everyone's first weekly check-in, and everyone was at least within the minimums. Good start, guys! Edit: And in case anyone's curious, yes, I'm within mine too. Currently at exactly 240 minutes on cardio (actually about 100 less than last week; harder to do cardio when there's a foot of snow outside), over an…

It's probably a tie between my food scale and my juicer.

I mentioned in PMs to a couple of people this morning that I'm on the west coast and also don't usually go to bed until like 3 AM; so long as I have your weekly check-ins before I go to bed on Saturday, that's fine with me. That way I have Sunday to put it all together before the show. I already have the weekly numbers…

I just sent "last call" messages to our mystery members. One of them at least is still active on the site, so all is not last, but the other also hasn't responded to any team friend requests or read my original PM; I assume she'll be leaving us tomorrow. And on that note, it's time to go attack my elliptical machine for an…

Just as a quick status update, I have not yet heard anything at all from two of our people, another has deactivated her account, and a fourth dropped from the competition. I'll send messages to our two current ghosts after this, but if I don't hear anything at all by the time I have to put everyone's numbers in (which is…

The bracket itself should be fine, but it'll depend on what it's mounted to. If you've got a beam in the ceiling, that'd probably work. A typical punching bag is usually between 70-100 pounds, but my homemade one is only like 40 right now, and that's packed to the brim with old clothes. Do we get bonus points for the team…

I like the Beretta 9mm, it's actually what I used in the military. I made it through 19 minutes on the elliptical machine and then it shut off on me. I promptly flipped it off with both hands and then ragequit. I'll do more later, but I only had 25 minutes queued anyway so it was no major loss. Normally I do 60 minutes on…

Does it count if I stayed home today and it didn't snow here?

1:30 AM Because I feel like it. Unemployment has some perks. Skimming the page, I first read this as "Going to Germany in 10 minutes."
