Not too late yet! Gather up some teammates and join in the fun! The first check-in is Monday 9/5! Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

BUMP! I'd love to know as well. I've seen on other threads people saying they went to www.mvm.com and made them, but when I go there I can't seem to find it. i can only get a part that says they are looking to hire a developer or programming that can make it happen....I dunno. I'm probably looking at the wrong thing. But…

BUMP!!!

HEY EVERYONE! The new thread for September is up! the only change I made for the month is that everyone must come with a team or they can recruit in the thread. I will not be assigning teams this month since we are off to a late start. We will still do check-ins on Mondays and Thursdays with the first official check-in…

Hi All! Just a reminder that the last check-in is due on or by September 1!!! I had the unfortunate pleasure of my entire hard drive crashing last night :( So i'll be taking some time to redo my spreadsheet and recalculating all the totals. I'll start the thread for September either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon.…

HI Everyone! I've been MIA for a couple days due to injury, but I wanted to post this before Irene's rain reaches me in case I lose power. What's up for next month? Does everyone want to continue? Any likes/dislikes/suggestions that you would like to see addressed for September? Don't forget there's only two check-ins…

I've been stuck inside all day today and will be again all day tomorrow (cuz of Irene) so I'll bust out some crunches and jumping jacks (no miles tho). I'm in for September. but you knew that already :oP

You can definitely donate them. I'd wash them first (either throw them in the washing machine w/ towels or hand clean them) and deodorize with some baking soda. Some places may give you a tax write off form if you donate a lot of stuff (clothes, shoes, old kids toys etc). I know my parents donated a lot of clothes and…

Black Eyed Peas "Imma Be" The song starts off at one temp then about halfway through it increases and almost doubles. Also, any song that may feature a hip hop artist....they usually have a little hook in the middle that you can use for your intense part. I'm a big fan of songs that Ludacris is featured in. He always gets…

How we looking on the crunches/jumping jacks/miles challenge so far this week? I'm planning to get a bunch of crunches and jumping jacks in tonight.

I finally went to a running store and got fitted. The only issue is that (obviously) they only recommend what type of running shoe you should get. I need shoes more for training and stability when working out (lots of jumping and other circuit/bootcamp type things) and not so much for running. HOWEVER, I did get the…

it's going to be released to all 3 carriers (VZW, ATT, and Sprint) at the same time.... early October. The 5th or the 7th I believe.

yeah not so much. you could down a ton of water and the first couple times will still be neon. It is sad it seems like you are flushing out money spent, but I like to look at it as I'm getting a lot of vitamins I may need. I'm not really bothered by the color. I just think its funny lol but wasn't sure if it was a temp.…

Most of these replies seem to be (to me at least) straight up protein shakes. The OP mentioned wanting a meal replacement shake...they aren't always the same.... look for one that does say meal replacement on the label Though all suggestions are good shakes! I currently use GNC Lean Shake Meal Replacement when i'm low on…

Really go with whatever works best for you and your team. Personally, I do my post later in the evening and I'll include everything I have up to that point. But I'm sure each captain does it different. Whatever works best for you is fine with me.

looking good this week! Amanda, let me know if you need help with anything!

How's everyone doing?? Anyone else doing the 1,000 crunches? One more week after this!!!! Hope everyone is doing awesome!

I use a blender bottle for my shakes too and I use water just becasue thats what the label on my Lean Shake container says lol. I agree with the one post above though that Mixing it with whatever you think tastes better is the way to go. Right now I'm drinking chocolate Lean Shake (it's more of a meal replacement than a…

I agree totally. I've been trying on a bunch of shoes lately so I'm really interested to have someone actually "fit" me for shoes to train in. I can't wait! I tried on a pair of UA shoes the other day. They were ok. There are ones I liked better but fit-wise but I don't have any experience in them more than trying them on…

Nice! I just realized i never said what kind I'm currently wearing. I have New Balance (I think 717). I got them when i was a sophmore in college so they are at least 7 or 8 years old. So i'm really excited to go to the running sotre today to see what they recommend for me. I really like the NB's becasue they were really…

100% agree with the above. I've had a bit of experience modeling/test shooting and its not very easy or open for females under 5'10" :o( HOWEVER...... Congrats on the huge compliment! You look very pretty in your profile pic! Just be careful if you do contact him again/pursue anything. There's lots of creepers and wanna-be…

Hi All, mandysjourney informed me this morning about something Gary had in his status about a personal challenge regarding the crunches....I'm pasting it below... "Gary6030: Its rough when you take abuse from people. Its worse when its from your teammates. I have a teammate SuzMac1981 that is talking all kinds of smack…

2 questions.... 1. the video link for Burpees goes to the video for globe jumps. I tried searching burpees but found like 3 different things so what's the right version? 2. whats the difference between the military press and a shoulder press? Am I missing something becasue they look the same to me. Thanks!

#1 or #2. depends on how "fancy" the wedding is. If it's like a total black tie affair thing, go with #2 but if not, then rock out in #1 they are super cute!

thanks! Yes super comfy in the test. I wish I could customize the colors like I can the Reebok lol

yeah. these ones were pretty light and had a little more support in the heel area i think.... but i'm still torn.
