1. my name is Sheri 2. My favorite way to exercise is a class called R.I.P.P.E.D. - its a clever acronym - stands for Resistance (weights and body weight exercise, Interval (HIIT), Plyometics, Power (weights again), Endurance (kickboxing) and the D for diet (its 6 section each 6-9 minutes long choregraphed to fun music) -…

Hey all!! I'm so excited to be part of the challenge and get started!! I know we are gonna kill it!! This is my first time with this challenge but I've put on over 10 elimination challenges in the past with a great group...life's been a little to hectic for me to do another at this time so I was excited to be able to join…

^^ Thanks Jackie! I can't wait to get started! Looks like fun!!

Thanks for this challenge!!!! I've put on many of my own so I know how much work they can be!

I'm trolling a little...I am starting an elimination challenge Friday - will run for 11 weeks. I've been on MFP for about 5 years and been running challenges for at least 3 of them. I have about 32 participants and looking for 10 more. But don't want to post to get an overwhelming amount of people. - I have your EXACT Same…

Feel Free to add me as well!! I'm always looking for motivational friends. I also run challenges to help kick people (myself included) in the butt! And I am Really Looking for a morning workout buddy! I KNOW if I got to the gym before work it would do me a world of good with the afterburn all day but getting up at 4 am is…

I run elimination/team challenges on here every few months...hoping to start another one in mid February...I am 44 years old...4 years ago was in pretty good shape...I was happy with myself for a nice change...a couple injuries took its toll...gained too much weight....found this site and have LOVED the support and the…

And I'm sorry.....worse than childbirth....ummmm I'd want to die!!! sooooo I'm truly amazed you are hanging in there!! Just an…

I'm not going easy here....but after doing the chart...I'm seeing this is one of the toughest weeks "workout" wise I've put up and on Christmas week...MEAN!!! ...so I am going to change the 90 minute to a 60 minute....the 120 stands...but can be broken up into as much as 3 parts during the day and since I am not requiring…

lol!! Ohhhh Ok!! Wow you get WAY more exercise than normal bowling since you have to keep setting it up manually! I'll have to give that a try! I Love Bowling!!....course if my ball CAN fit easily in between...rest assured Mine WILL!! I probably wouldn't get Any Exercise having to set up! :grumble: :laugh:

@hypallage...what is "playing skittles"????? Other than the candy...I've Never Heard of It ;-)

I'm here I'm here!! Even though I'm not :wink: :sad: You guys are doing SO GOOD!!!! And Woohoo Verda for keeping us in the top!! Great Job!! I saw you guys posted up your points - just want to make sure you used the specs I put up to figure out your EM's...or were those left off?? its 25 pts if you had over 100 minutes…

posted above #'s plus mine...ohhhh I actually helped a little ;-) trying to help more this week....I predict a calmer week for myself ;-) Probably shouldn't have said that...now it won't be :tongue:

@verda...I didn't put a limit in for it...figuring between the HIIT's, the workouts and the reps that people wouldn't be able to put in toooo terribly much more time! I would think it would be a stretch to get in a ton of minutes with everything else...if I see people posting hours of EM's I may put a limit up. But if you…

@April.....well I'm glad you weighed in too!! You hung in there with me...not too hot of a weigh in myself...made yours look great!!! How 'bout we both kick some serious *kitten* this week...(or try anyway) :smile: We Can Do It!! @Verda...glad you seem to be feeling a bit better too...just don't wear yourself out before…

Just woke up and thought about a clarification I NEED to make! On the EM points....That is STRICTLY Monday - Friday This Week - NO Sunday (today) or next Saturday Morning #'s will count!!!!!!! If Team Leaders can post that they read this so I know it will go back to your team....since its a Points And Bonus Points…

hope the meds help you feeling better.... I have posted #'s to here...let me know if I made any mistakes!! Great job to those hanging in there!! Hoping all my poor sickies feel better soon!!! Gooooo Dolphins!!!

Wellll I succeeded in eating no chips last night....even though my husband had just bought and was eating a fresh bag when I got home....I would say Yah for me....but as the night wore on I managed to eat everything else not nailed down....SO I'll be doing some penance burpees today anyway!! Doubling that up! :grumble:…

lol! yes I was sick...sent my germs via cyber space! :sick: :wink: I'm all better now :tongue: ;-) Now I'll try and share my good germs! You can estimate if its not a huge issue...this week with the 20 minutes of vigorous...that would kind of show in the calorie burn...but I didn't specify that it was required so if you…

@April...do what you can...but remember the HIITS are High Intensity at your level....if you're sick...or not feeling well and high level isn't jumping to the moon and back...it doesn't need to be...just needs to get your heart rate up a bit....but don't push yourself to the point of getting more sick!! Sometimes if you…

Ohhhh and just saw the reps question....its just 100 total for the week this week cuz I figure everyone is going to get in a bunch of Cardio rep type stuff in the HIIT's BUT the 100 needs to be a new type reps working whatever body part you want...and by new - it can be totally new or a variation of something you do or…

@April...:bigsmile: I saw your post on the main page...what?? :noway: You're not excited about the HIIT's this week??!! I think I almost died doing mine tonight!! I didn't get a chance to do them this morning so I had to do them at the gym....which require running instead of the usual array of torture...I HATE running!!!!!…

Sorry for the delay on answering....yes back to regular points this week! Love the bandwagon of burpees as punishment....apparently its a universal HORRIBLE exercise! :grumble: :laugh: Good Luck everyone with your food you're giving up!! NO BURPEES!!! Just Goods Across The Board ;-) I think we should all do Bonus Burpees…
