  • #55 6 Week Exercise Challenge Sign Up

    I'M BACK! And THANK YOU SO MUCH, ELI, FOR STEPPING UP AND TAKING CHARGE! YOU'RE THE BEST!


    The #55 6WEC will begin on Sunday, August, 23 and runs through Saturday, October, 3
    You have 1 week to sign up, beginning now.

    Saturday, August 22, is the cut off date for signing up and being charted.

    The rules have changed this year, so if you have not joined us in this challenge recently, please read them to be updated on the changes.


    Sign up!
    1. Tell us how many days a week you will commit to exercising.

    2. Make a note of your beginning measurements.

    You do not have to post them here, in this thread, if you aren't comfortable doing that. Just be sure to write them down someplace safe to compare with your measurements at the end of the challenge.
    Please see the official rules for a picture that shows you where to measure. The following stats are the only ones that will be considered for the ribbon awards.
    -Under arms, around chest
    -Fullest part of chest
    -Ribcage
    -Waist
    -Hips
    -Upper arm x 2
    -Thigh x 2
    -Weight

    Don't forget to check in!
    1. Look for a new thread each day in this forum. It will be titled something like "6WEC#55, Week 1, Day 1, Sunday, August 23"

    2. Tell us whether you exercised, took a rest day or a PTO day.

    3. PLEASE try to post daily! If you can not post daily, please try to post at least a couple times a week.

    Two awards to be won!
    1. The 3 Challengers who lose the most will earn a ribbon. Winners are determined first by inches and then by pounds, using the body stats listed above.
    Slugged Challengers are still able to win a ribbon so if you get slugged, continue to post.

    2. Those who complete all 6 weeks of the challenge without getting slugged will earn a slug free button.
    Each Challenger can use up to 5 PTO days that will not count against them.


    Here is an example of the charting of Exercise, Rest, PTO and Slugged days:

    In the above example, challengerA could have taken a second PTO day on Thursday or Friday, however, she posted that they were to be counted as rest days, so she was charted for the posts she made.
    This is just a sample week. A challenger can use up to 5 PTO days, any given week or day.

      I'll start BFL in September, so I'll be counting that for this challenge. That means I'm in for...... 6 days. I don't think I ever had 6 days for this challenge!

            Happy to help, but glad to see you back

            I'm in for 5 days a week once more. It really does make me put the effort in when I would otherwise not have bothered!
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                I'm in again for 5 days. I'm disappointed that I had to use so many PTOs during the current challenge. I am going to try to exercise in the morning this time before life has a chance to get in the way and ruin my exercise plans!
