One-on-one holiday exercise challenge, anyone?

[Rebeccalee 2]

Not much for rules....just keep trying to lose weight. I think some of us are concentrating on exercising more to lose. Official start date is Monday the 22nd and we "race" until Jan. 3rd. I think Greg might make an email graph to chart our progress, not sure on that one.

We can report in any time we want, since this is meant to be encouraging and supportive through the holidays.

I think that's it -- and, of course, I aim to lose more than Greg when all is said and done.

I'm rooting for the girls! Go Becky! You can do it! Kick his derriere, his buttocks, behind,rear, or rump whatever you want to call it. Just do it for the girls!

I think I'm too young for this one. I don't meet the description of players here. I'm under 30 and have more than 100 lbs. to lose. Y'all have fun.

O.K., Lisa, get on here and show the "Geritol Gang" up!

Hey I am in. I am recuperating from being sick with the flu right now but by the 22nd I hope to be on the mend. So I will check in and do the official weigh in that day. Here is my suggestion on how to post the exercises info

1. What you did to exercise.

2. How long you exercised (minutes, seconds, etc).

3. How far you walked or how many steps if you use a pedometer (miles).

4. How intense was your exercise. (power walk, etc),

5. How you felt after the exercise.

Just some suggestions. Thoughts or comments

O.K. as long as y'all don't laugh at me too much, I will do this with you! No rules sounds good to me, and I really do need the challenge. You just have to remember I don't have a fill either. Take it just a little easy on me! lol

(Did all that work?) :eek:

Everything sounds good to me. Lisa G, we'll let you play even if you are a young whippersnapper! Let's check in about once a week -- Monday or Tuesday or whatever works for you -- and report on the last seven days' activities, so we don't wind up with an incredibly long thread. Anyone is free to report special daily victories or challenges. If you want your challenge more structured or more free-form, do whatever works for you. No excuses!

[Iluvharleys 15]

Maybe we should keep it on Monday's so we aren't weighing in on more than one day a week. What do you think?

Can I watch? I will be the cheer leader! GoBanders! Go! Rah Rah Rass kick 'em in the .... ? Oh, hell-what do I know about being a cheer leader?

[New Hope 37]

Lauri has an avatar! And what a pretty little one it is!

Thank you, Thank you! I did not use the courage you gave me to go to church. I used it to post my picture. Which by the way my husband had to take because there are none of me around here! I have never worked with pix on the computer like that before so my pic did not turn out like I wanted. I will continue to work on it.

[DeLarla 22]

Did she call ME old? Old is as old does. I'm the one that rode a quad topless through Mexico last week. Top that one! Or should I say, untop that one! I ain't old! (Notice how I'm avoiding the challenge?)

[lapbander081004 7]

Lisa,

Get on board here and do it now you old lady you...

I have to go back and look at the pics you posted. Hmmmm must have missed the one of you on the Quad

I am working on putting to gether all the suggestion both here and in PM's for the rules. Only thing set in concrete so far is Mon Nov 22 Start date and Jan 3rd 05, end date.

I would like to get any e-mails that I can sent to me so I can send the forms out when done. Only mandatory info on the forms will be your Monday's weigh in. Any other infor will be voluntary. Also if you profiles are set up that I can't send you e-mails either chage it with moderator so I can or if its a privacy issue then send me PM with it in. I will not give it out and when challenge is over I will delete the file on this. Just want to have fun and make it thru the Holidays

Good luck to all on this and remember we are all friends here and this is to be freindly and not personal. (Becky this excludes you ) lol

[Zoe 6]

DeLarla, I suppose you can have an exemption from the challenge while your wound heals (sigh). Greg, I'll PM my Monday weight -- and thank you for offering to keep track of us. Anyone else, jump in on Monday and be prepared to face some serious exercise over the holidays. (Yes, chopping down pine trees counts, as long as you use an axe and not a chainsaw; lifting heavy pieces of fruitcake from your plate to your mouth does not.)

OK, Greg and Becky, just four more days until showtime. Bring it on!

Hey I'll play... I need some serious motivation to stick with exercising. Sick with a cold right now but should be improved enough monday to start. I saw an ad for curves and am really leaning toward joining them because I'm just not motivated on my own enough to get my big though shrinking behind moving. I'd be happy to add a gift to the winners list as well. I know... I'll send a gift to the second place person!

[DeLarla 22]

Let's see how my disgusting wound looks on Monday. If I'm ready to join, I suggest we all send $50 bucks to a treasurer and do it for money, the Vegas way. Bring it on... joo wanna some-a dis?
