Eliminators Week 4 Message ~ Post your Game Submissions Here (27)

Week 4 Challenge ~ Roll Call & Merge Week! 9/28-10/4


Hellooooooo Competitors!

Before you do anything on week 4, have you let your team know that you are still playing the Games!  If not, please check in with your team!  The deadline is Sunday, October 1st! 

After that, we'll work behind the scenes to merge teams.  By next Thursday, we'll have everyone matched up in teams of active, enthusiastic players who are raring to go and who want to finish these 7 weeks of Games!!!  We will be keeping teammates together, so don't fret!  You'll be staying with friends :)

So... What about this Week 4?  This is a great chance for everyone to catch up or take a breather!  However, we will not leave you hanging, so for this week:

• Week 4, Part 1:  do your own 5 normal goals (3 daily, 2 weekly)
  • The Points:  Tell your scorekeeper by Wed, 10/4, that you did Week 4, Part 1 Strive and Be Happy for 10 points (scorekeeper will enter a 1, line 10).
• Week 4, Part 5: do your normal exercise routine or think about how you can incorporate exercise into your life, and
  • The Points:  Tell your scorekeeper by Wed, 10/4, that you did Week 4, Part 5(b) Get up and Move for 10 points (scorekeeper will enter a 5, line 49).
• Week 4, Part 7:  Start thinking about the statement you'll submit in week 6 (Oct 12 - 18).  See the topic information below!
  • The Points:  Tell your scorekeeper by Wed, 10/4, that you did Week 4, Part 7 Walking the Walk for 25 points (scorekeeper will enter a 1, line 67). 
• Week 4, Part 8:  You don't have to do anything with the points for Week 4, Part 8!  The Games Coordinators will take care of this for you and will let your Scorekeeper know how many bonus points you received for emailing your Brain Bender answer in week 3 (to enter 25, 50 or 75 points, part VIII, line 79 on week 4 spreadsheet :)  
  

Week 4, Part 7 (from above):  Here is the topic to start thinking about for week 6...

Think back to your life before calorie-count. Before you decided to live a healthier lifestyle. What were some of your bad habits? Overeating, smoking, too much stress, lack of sleep, anything that contributed to poor health? What might have happened to you if you hadn't decided to live a healthier lifestyle? What might have happened already? What types of conditions might you have developed? Do a little research about the condition(s) you may have developed and simply start thinking about it. This is important because it will come into play in 2 weeks during week 6!

• Part 1:       &nb sp;     10 points (enter a 1 on line 10)

Brain Bender - my guess

I'm not sure if I did this right but anyway....

• BMI = 28.3
• Total Cals consumed = 2016
• Total Cals burned = 2708
• Deficit = 692

For cals burned I put her as moderately active which gave 2300/day or about 95.8/hr.  I figured an hour of swimming laps - light effort at 505/hr.  That might be a little off since this was set at my height and weight but wasn't sure how to get more accurate. So 23 hrs at 95.8 + 505 = 2708.

• BMI = 28.3
• Total Cals consumed = 2016
• Total cals burned = 2744
• Deficit = 728

I made some corrections and came up with the swimming being 540 cal/hr. 

Just a Brain Bender Hint!  Supersized & JayD nailed the technique when they said... 

Supersized said...

Yup, I just used my own logs. You can log all the food information in tomorrow's food and activity logs, this will give you a blank slate to be able to figure out the calorie deficit.

Also you can go into your tools menu and choose BMI and just quickly edit your own settings (not hard to put them back they're put back automatically from your profile's default settings).

Sorry if this gives everyone a leg up, but I figure this is really about sharing. And, not making life difficult for our beloved Erik and Igor.

Cheers,

JayD said...

 you don't have to worry about your weight log because you can go back and edit your entries for the day. :)

Heads up about Week 1!  

Part 4 has been significantly edited for clarity. No one has to go back at all, but can if you want. We simply want people to start where they are and go from there!   

The deadline for week 1 has been extended for everyone until Wed, 9/20.

Wow!  Hi Twindaze!  This kind of goal stuff you don't need to post here.  A lot of people are posting this in their journal to keep because we will be doing this again at the end :)  Of course you are free to share your goals whereever you want.  Just is a really personal topic that a lot of people get shy about sharing....

Please turn in your points for week 1 and week 2 to your scorekeeper by Wed, 9/20.  Your team captain Kcullop or the co-captain can tell you how and where. 

If you prefer, you can turn in the points sheet to your scorekeeper instead of this because the points sheet doesn't include your personal answers...  But it's up to you :) 

You can get the points sheet for week 1 here:

http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/1376 1.html#9

Also, it looks like you should get the 25 regular points for your exercise goals.  You know what you do now.  and you indicated what you would like to do in the next 6 weeks.  So that's gr8 :)

you can get the points sheet for week 2 here:

http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/1376 1.html#19

What we need people to post here are

• the brain bender answers (week 2, part 3)
• your superfoods link (weeks 2, part 6)
• and your little motivation statement (week 2, part 7)
• plus 2 people post a mediteranean recipe here this week!

Ok, I hope this helps :)  Ask if you have any questions :)

The one thing I have learned on my long journey is that we deserve to love ourselves.  The best gift we can give to ourselves and the people we love is the healthiest ?me? we can be!  Use these tools to help you figure out what you need to do to achieve that and use the forums and the tools to help find friends to walk with you down this path.  You can do it?..maybe not perfectly?.maybe not quickly?.but you WILL achieve your dreams.

Thanks Gr8, honestly, I'm really confused about the games.  I want to do them, but I've been unclear on what to do.  How do I contact my leader?  We don't have PM's here, right?  So do I just email?

Hey everyone :)  Last week when we wrote the challenge in the wee hours of the night in our spare time cuz we're just friends here like everyone... we thought we knew what we were saying.... But... we confused the heck out of everyone!!!  Sad but true!!!  So, we're giving everyone the chance to catch up on week one and make sure you got the right points!

The only points from week 1 last week are from Section 4, the exercise part!  We actually had people who never exercised or only once or twice a week.  Kind of not fair to make them all of a sudden exercise 5 times to get points, huh???

So... we have made a few little changes...

Deadline for week 1 has been extended to Wed, 9/20!!!

The Points from Week 1 were all in Section 4.  You can Look at the Section 4 again from week 1 here:

http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/1376 1.html#7

Check your points against the new week 1 points sheet here:

http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/1376 1.html#9

Let your team captain (or scorekeeper) know if your points changed for week 1.

Plus... the other parts of week 1 were just for you to work on your own goals and things!  If you did all the parts from week 1, then you get more points this week :)  It's up to you!

Here's the link to the revised week 1 challenge!

http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/1376 1.html#3

The stuff from week 2 is also due Wed, 9/20.

Turn your points for week 2 into your team captain or scorekeeper by Wed, 9/20

Players should post their entries on your team submission thread here:

http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/1420 2.html

Players do not need to post their goals and other notes from other parts of the challenge... just 4 things this week.

What Players should post on the new Team submission threads:


Slappy's Kick A$$ Team
Neeners Nightmares
Jayd's Phat Fighters
Team Dyn-o-mite
Eliminators
Fabulous4ever
Gut Busters
Hard Body Hooligans

Hi Twindaze!  Sorry about the confusion!  These games happened spontaneously when we were talking about doing Survivor games and voting people out.  But we wanted everyone to be able to stay involved the whole way through so we could all play and enjoy the whole time.

So, sorry about the confusion.  We're figuring all this stuff out each week and trying to get everyone squared away.

No apologies!  Don't fret about being confused and don't worry about asking questions!  That's what we're here for.

Ok... you can contact your team on your official team thread here.

Your captain is Kcullop.  Her email is in her profile.  You can get to her journal and profile here:

She will let you know how your team submits points. 

The rest of the stuff is explained just above about what to post where!  I hope this makes it better and did not confuse you more :)

Thanks!  jules (united2gether games hostess)
