I was under the impression that the free space was for an activity that wasn't on the list for the week. I sure hope so, I just got my butt kicked by the elliptical feel the past half an hour! LOL

Lilique - I'll have my chart to you on Monday. My comp at home crashed and I can use my work comp, but image hosting sites are forbidden. I'll grab my mom's laptop then.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Today has been super awesome for me!

Go team Faerie!

Ok. I officially screwed up.

You were all right! lol

The free space on the charts is for activities you do that are not on the activity list!

I guess I shouldn't have assumed that it was for house cleaning. I guess what threw me off was in the official challenge thread under the rules of the challenge it said that there would be 1 activity each week that would be counted as a free activity...

Eh. In any case I PM'ed Art and this is what I found out:

Sorry 'bout that guys. I got my wires crossed.

Seems like I made this whole thing more confusing than easy... Sorry!

Not your fault! I should have read more carefully, & not assumed.

[Arthwen1985]

Engh, I tried to make it as easy as possible but instead made it much harder to actually understand. lol

Anything else people need me to be clearer or that they are totally "Huh???" on?

[lalique]

As some of you are weighing in & putting up your charts, I can see how well we have been doing, and I'm SO excited!!

You all are awesome!

Keep 'em coming!

[Arthwen1985]

Yea, wanted to add... you don't have top put your weight up again until the end of the challenge.

[AngelMae]

Are the activites the same as last week or do they change for this week??

So which column do we put cleaning the house in?

I think most people have been putting it in the free space, since thats the 5th space & house cleaning is the 5th activity... I'll find out for sure though!

girls!

I'm feeling pretty good today. I did my taxes for the first time all by myself last night! I used Turbotax and got the email from the IRS this morning saying that the return was accepted and I should get my refund by the 30th. Thank god. Things seem to be (temporarily) looking up.

My eating was mostly on plan today. I did eat a little piece of a piece of cake at work and two miniature chocolate bars but at least I didn't eat the whole piece of cake.....along with another piece and another like I usually do. I followed my gut. It was lemon cake and I really just wanted to taste the frosting and I did! I've already guzzled one jug of water and I'm going to finish the second one after I get off the computer and settle down to watch The Simpsons.

Ok girls! We're having major problems with this challenge!

They are actually considering the possibility of closing the challenge due to the amount of people who have signed up, but then never really became active.

I don't feel we have this problem on our team. There are only a few members that I haven't ever heard from, but over 75% of you are active!!

I don't know about how you guys feel, but I want to keep going with this!

Please see this post and reply to it if you're still wanting to continue with this challenge and then see this post to see more detials on what is going on, and to add your input (if you have any suggestions) on making the challenge easier & most importantly keeping it running!

I am also forwarding this message to all of you on Team Faerie in a PM, so those of you who don't check this post daily will have a heads up & can participate in keeping this challenge alive (if it's what you want...)

To those of you who want to drop out, this is the time to do it! We need an accurate head count of who is still IN and who is OUT, so Art & the other teams leaders & I can come up with some sort of game plan, and re-vamp this if we have to.

Thanks to all of you in advance!!

I feel like I've been doing great with working out, more than I've ever done before. I'm working out 1 - 2 hours / day. Yay!

But I feel like I failed some on the diet part today and Sunday... I was in a major snacking mood and had a lot of snacks. So I'm over my 35 flex points by 16. Grrr... I hope this doesn't screw up my weightloss this week.

Thanks for letting me vent. I hate it when I binge.

[lalique]

Everyone has until Thursday, January 22nd to post in this post, if you are still wanting to continue this challenge!

I will be re-doing the teams (Combining the teams, since we've lost so many people) & re-vamping the way we're doing the challenge (slightly).

[Feral]

Are we going to be starting all over again or just continuing?

Thanks again for all of your hard work, Lali!
