Yay!

Like I said in my diary Jerome, you are one smart fellow! You are rollin' with 2 of the hottest chicks around! :D

I need more creative juices... no team name has come to me yet.

Jerome, you don't happen to be a teacher, do you? I only ask because Amber and I are, so I would try to incorporate that into the name...

Jerome's a military man. So if you need a drill sergeant...lol

In this forum, I'm always surrounded by hot chicks. I'm glad I picked up the hottest :)

Like Bikini said, I'm not a teacher, I'm in the military.

Two hotties, a military man. Once in a while, I teach small lessons in the army.... So...
The Beauties and the Warrior?
The Fighting Beauties?
The teaching warriors?

Honestly, I can't think of anything funny.
I'm not used to think about funny team names. The only contact I have with the "english" world is this forum and episodes of Lost and Family Guy...

If you have any ideas, bring them on! I'm sure they'll be good :)

There used to be this show on called Two Guys and a Gal (and a pizza place or something other until they dropped the pizza part...)

Anyway, maybe you could be Two Gals and a Guy. :D
 
Neither Tyly or Jerome appear to be online to veto it...I hate to choose by myself, but may have no other options.

Jerome already said he doesn't care what the team name is, and if Tyly's not here to vote...welll.....it's up to you. :D

I still need team names for thekrinse, bmohearn and keepitoff83.

And still no word re cita and MLB joining with Amy. They haven't been around. :(
 
I'm only a bit late (haha) but I'll be in if I can find some teammates. :)

Will motivate me to exercise 100% which has been lacking as of late.
 
Week 1 Info

Because I'm still waiting to get a couple of teams formed, I'm only starting team threads for those with official team names. Once you've got your team together and have a team name, post it here and I'll start your team thread. :) I'm going to post the first week's info so you can get ready. Here it is!!!!!!

Week 1—Chicago to Moscow 12hrs 50min. This averages out to 4hrs 17min of exercise per person. Remember your team doesn't have to split it up that way. See the rules if you need to jog your memory regarding this.

Detour: As Russia is famous for vodka, your first bonus is to drink your weight in lbs in ounces of vodka. So if you weigh 200lbs, you must drink 200oz of vodka. You can either spread it out over the week, or drink it all in 1 day (not recommended). :svengo: Raise your hand if you thought if only for a split second that I was serious. :rofl:

Here are the real Detour choices which each team member must choose 1 option: 1. Do a Russian Cossack dance for 1 min w/out falling over (see youtube video link)

or 2. Eat 5 cups of boiled cabbage (Russians apparently eat a lot of boiled cabbage) during the week. 1 cup of raw green cabbage only has 22 calories, and is an excellent source of vitamin C. Feel free to make cabbage soup, or add other diet-friendly things to your cabbage.

If you choose the Cossack dance, you must do it just like the kid in the video, and you must do it continuously for 1 minute in order for it to count. Good luck with that! I’ll be eating boiled cabbage, thank you very much. I have very muscular legs, and can't do it to save my life..haha.

Each team will get 10pts if each member does one of the two choices.

When your team thread is created, please copy and paste the form and log your starting weight. You can use Thursday or Friday's weigh in for this.

Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! :hurray::hurray:

Can all team members do the same choice or do both detours have to be followed for the team to get points?
 
And regarding the vodka, when I saw you say vodka, I thought it would be a no alcohol week.

Cabbage or cossack?? I think I could do either. I'll try the cossack and see if I need to change my mind before the challenge starts!

Here's your answer.
Team members will have 2 options to choose from, and the team doesn’t have to choose the same option.

Each team member can choose whichever option they want--you can all do the same one or some can do different ones. It's up to each individual--whichever you prefer.

Girl, if you can do the cossack dance, I tip my furry Russian hat to you. :D I just tried to do it again, and it is not gonna happen..lol.
 
I saw that, so I knew we could choose different ones, but I just was not clear if everyone could do the same and one not get done at all or not. (If that makes sense.)

Nope, I don't expect the team to do each option. I figure most people are going to be eating cabbage this week. :D

I also believe I'm going to add a 3rd non-elimination leg unless a bunch of teams sign up before Friday. Otherwise, there won't be anyone left for the last week. :D
 
Happy new challenge everyone! How creative our Kim is! :hurray:

I am panicking though. I don't think anyone of us (except Jerome maybe) is capable of performing the dance. It seriously threatens our first 10 points. I hope I am wrong.

I am posting this time calculator. It will be helpful when we try to estimate the minutes of our exercises:

You don't have to do the dance to get your 10pts. Just eat the cabbage instead.
