Team Dynomite! ~ Roll Call ~ Sign Up ~ Very Fun Challenge!

Wowsers!

We have so much interest in playing in the C-C Survivor Challenge, we're starting a Team D!!!

Participants so far:

• hollowagain
• pamperedkeri  ??
• Nymo! --TEAM CAPTAIN
• lyndalyn
• pandajenn (if this team fills out, otherwise, she's a spectator!)
• readnchick (she's back!!! woohoooooo!!!!!)
• lilydream35
• tinytot

Interested?  One more player needed!!  You can either play or you can help united2gether with setting up the challenges and judging and whatnot.

This is from the post that saw the formation of teams A & B:

So, Simple Team Competition.. There will be no one voted off the island. We want everyone to participate and everyone to get something from this :)

Whoever gets the most points gets bragging rights, and if Erik and I can come up with a suitable prize, a super secret prize courtest of C-C! :D

There are four weeks in September and there will be FOUR competitions, due by Friday Noon of that week! :)

1) The Mind Competition - Teams will need to struggle to use their minds to complete this super-secret challenge. It will be a combination brain puzzle/sudoku challenge.

2) The Nutritional Competition - Each team will have to come up with two healthy meal plans for AN ENTIRE MONTH (4 weeks), that will ensure an average caloric intake of 1,500 and 2,000 calories and ensures that each team will get an A, daily, on CC's nutritional analysis AND a good split of carbs, protein and fat. Judging will be based on which menus are most appealing, as judged by a panel of our peers (we'll leave the menus out for others to judge ;) )

3) The Physical Challenge - Which team is more physically active. Whichever team does more aerobic exercise, weight lifting and flexibility exercises wins. Period.

4) The Face Off Trivial Challenge - The last event. Each team will be given a loooooooong test regarding the facts, and fictions involved in healthy weight loss. Each person will need to do their best on this test WITHOUT consulting others on your team, though you may consult the internet and any books you may have. The team with the most correct answers.. wins.

Nomo - vive wants to give up her spot for poob- can we do that?

Oh, vive - that's okay!  Just b/c I pretended to cry?

I have a diff idea - if anyone is in for it.  Can we add a tenth person to each team or are we stuck at 9?  I don't have it in me to run a whole new team. 

you don't necessarily have to run a team

and yes, we very well might have to reconfigure the teams...

right now we have 28 or 29 participants, 4 of which are men...

so either 2 teams or 4 will be best to have equal numbers of men on all teams.

gotta run to lunch -- be right back!

Also, I don't know if pampered is definately in either - I say Team C is still open  - we have no men but, you know, so what?

No offense men...

Hi all...I just emailed slappy with some VERY SPECIFIC challenges.  I'll wait to hear back .... but if she's in agreement, it won't matter if there are no guys on the team.  It's not gender-sensitive stuff =)

So poohb could be with Team C

Hey neeners ~ if Slappy agrees ~ would you mind posting to the *ideas for challenges* thread so we can look at it?

Team D ~ There's room for another team!

We're looking to start Thur, 9/14 & will probably run 6 weeks thru October.

Challenges will be mental, physical & fun ~ individual & group... stuff we already kind of do on our own... but no one will be expected to do anything beyond what they can do...

The goals ~ to learn something, get to know each other & have a gr8 time :)

Don't be shy ~ if you want to play ~ step on up & holler :)

Though on the other hand, and to be clear, let's make sure that people who agree to play agree that this is a commitment to do their best during the competition, and not dissapear suddenly.

Just.. to be fair to all teams and all players. Make sure you're going to commit to this :)

*agreed* ~ smiles ear2ear

good point HK!

6 weeks...

a warm up week, 4 weeks of main challenges & a grand finale that ties it all together :)

I almost wish I was doing it...  Maybe i'll do my own & see how i do ;)

Okay, so a guy offered to join C.  It's getting crowded.  Where is everyone else?  Anyone care to join a new D, or no?

Kirs?  Lizzy?  Plume?  Kisa?  Where is everyone?  People I don't know?  If people join here I'll let C be and they can have their guy for balance.  No offense, guy.  Um, I'm gonna go look up your name again - I forgot it.  Hollow something?

Uh, United?  Help me out here - what to do?  What to do?  I'm not a good coordinator, am I?

Ok Pooh, call the ball!

you can do it here or head up C...

i have to skeddaddle back to work.  I'll be back @ noon Pacific, 3 pm Est...

I put hollowagain on C and now team D has 3 peeps...

Nymo - yay!  Can we get Kisa?!

you guys should totally go into people's journals and invite them!

Where is pamperedkeri anyway?  Where are you?

Thank United - guess I'll try recruiting.  Hmm.  We'll see how that goes.  Is there still time to shuffle things around if this team doesn't fill?

yeah, if you don't fill up, we might have to split you up amongst the other 3 teams   :)

yes,

are you interested in being team captain?

want in on the getting organized chat between team captains & me so we can all get on the same page, so to speak?

Ooh, I missed this.  One sec...

edit:
I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to coach. 

A:  I'm not so great at this myself - I need to be the motivatee more than the motivator

B:  I don't always have the time.  In fact I should be working right now!

lyndalyn might be joining team d -- we'll find out soon!

Nymo, would you coach?  You're a great motivator!

i understand...

added u as a friend anyways ;)
