Guys our chelle works hard to get us off our back side and into exercise challenges .. she spends a long time updating logs and researching beaches ..
What i am asking is instead of making chelle do all that work again .. for the last 2 weeks that have been lost, on sunday can we just continue on?

We all know what has happened im hoping we can all agree that on sunday we start the new week and forget about the badges and challenge for the last 2 weeks we have now lost.. So our lovely chelle doesnt have to do all that work again..

It would be my vote that each team just do what the Black team does anyways, and be responsible for their own exercise challenges. This way Chellez can get a break.

I wouldn't want to just forget the last 2 weeks - we worked hard!

Is it possible we could update our own badge logs instead of asking our leader to do it?

I say do what will make it easiest to move forward, whatever will create less work for the 3 team leaders and the admin.

Is there no honesty among us? All of us know if we got a badge in week 4 or not. Week 5 was a free week anyway.

I agree.

great idea beth.. i think that is a great idea ... the only thing i think we need back is who won the lost weeks weigh ins..
as far as this weeks minutes for exercise what do we want to do start a thread with our minutes we know we had to get 452.. so should we just start a thread with our minutes out of 452 ? or do we just start it over next week .?

I started this weeks exercise thread...hope it's ok

I say whatever happens that chellez shouldn't have to go back and try to redo everything for the past two weeks.

I'd say make the last 2 weeks of badges a wash - one of them was a freebie anyway. The exercise you did DOES count, in that it certainly helps your progress. It was recognized in its own time and place. However, given the circumstances, I think it's only reasonable that we not worry about badges and such at this point and just move forward as normal, not making Chelle or any other team leader go back and edit the threads. That's my vote

I stepped out on a limb and updated the thread myself through week 5. I figure if we ALL do, at the very least, it will save Chellez time - it is easier to check than to copy and paste.

Let's all update through week 5 to make this as easy as possible

I updated my log too i think if we do it ourselves then we can save alot of heart ache.. .. very easy I copied and pasted the flower, but writting it in is just as good . Beth restarted the exercise for this week remembering your minutes for the week is enough but if you remember the exact workouts put them in . we now it was 452.. so you could just put your miles total if you choose.. what ever as long as there is little work for our leaders to do as possible then we are on the right track..

The Beach Challenges have REALLY been motivating to me to exercise more!!!!! etc. I mean BIG TIME. I haven't exercised this much forever and I really needed something like this to help me get my rear in gear.

To make it easier on chelle, would it work for someone from each team take over posting the badges for their team members each week? I'd be GLAD to do the Black Team's badges. We could just have people post in their badges posts what badges they know they earned so far (I'm with Shy, people will be honest and if they don't, then that's life and bad karma for them)...and then go forward.

Please see Data Loss Q & A: Biggest Loser Challenges for more info.

I'll be updating it as more info and ideas come to me and the other leaders

Whatever is equitable to all teams - works for me - including leaving off the two weeks as sleepers so that the team leaders can make it work for the rest of the challenge.

this has been quite fun for me to be part of and that has not been diminished by the technical loss of data.
