Hi.

 

Happy first day of the challenge

[GunnJay]

^{Great group name!} 

[RogueWelkin]

^{Great group name!} 

I figure we're in the Rebellion...there needs to be a Rogue Squadron (plus I'm a big Wedge Antillies fan).

Hello Everyone. 

[DarthChronos]

Hey guys. This will be my second challenge. Seemed like an appropriate group to be in for this challenge. Good luck on your first challenge. I will help, if I am able. You can find both of my challenges in my signature.

Awesome, glad to have someone with some experience in here. Love the Race, I hadn't thought of using Star Wars races (and I'm kicking myself for it...I think I need to change my race now!).

[GunnJay]

What classes have you guys picked?  I'm striving to be an Assassin (with a touch a Ranger at level 5 or 6!)

[JohnnyConfidence]

Add me to the list. Used to have a more informational signature but it looks like I lost it during one of the upgrades. I'll work on that. Right now it's just a link to my challenge post. Used to be heavily involved in challenges a couple years back. Lost steam, life changed, and trying to get back on track. Look forward to adventuring with you all.

Steam is something that I lose pretty easily!  I'm looking forward to destroying a Death Star or two with you all.

Oops I forgot to link to my page.  I am new to this so I am starting out as an adventurer

I haven't settled on one yet, but I expect that I'll probably be multi-classing quite a bit in the future. I found out that there's a Spartan Race in my general area (happened to pass it over this past weekend) and I'm thinking of trying to get myself up to shape for that next year. But I'll probably start focusing more towards Assassin type stuff.

I hear you there. I never did the Challenges, but I was doing pretty well for getting myself on track and getting in shape, felt better than I ever had. Had that going for a few months, but then I hit some life changes (got into a long-term relationship for the first time in almost a decade) and I lost myself there. So I'm hoping that I can use the challenge to get in there and get going.

[JohnnyConfidence]

Right now I'm just going adventurer. I need to get this body moving. Body weight works good right now because I have a lot of it As I build muscle I'll probably start adding weight. My goal will be to transition into Warrior training. Might take a challenge or two before I make the full switch. 

[RogueWelkin]

If any of you guys haven't seen it yet. A few people have indicated that they like one of my tracking logs. So I wanted to share it here.

 

Measurement Tracking Log Template

 

With the template you can track:

• Height
• Weight
• Waist
• Hips
• Chest
• Shoulders
• Neck
• Thigh (Left and Right)
• Bicep (Left and Right)
• Body Fat % (Automatic based off US Navy's Formula)
• Pictures (Front/Side/Back)

The Body Fat % is "automatic" based on the formula in there. But if you are not male or are using centimeters instead of inches you'll want to change the formula. But there's a note there that has the different formulas and all you need to do is copy/paste. (In fact this formula is the only reason I put height in there). 

 

The Height field will auto-fill based upon what you put in the first Height "Detail" (Cell C3).

 

Lastly the picture field has a formula I put in there for you to use to display the photo properly (sadly the insert photo function doesn't work exceedingly well for this, but that formula works great).

[BearsBeets]

I definitely fit into adventurer for now.  I think my initial thoughts when reading class descriptions was Ranger/Druid.

 

Right now I want to lose weight, and build some strength.  I'll mostly be adding body-weight exercises (I, too, have plenty of that to work with!)

 

I also want to work on my balance and flexibility (yoga appeals to me, but I've never tried it).

 

I want to be able to chase my kids (2 & 3 years old), play with them, keep up when they run away from me at the park, carry them (as they get bigger and bigger every day!), help with projects around the house, and eventually, help move my own crap when we buy a new house in a few years (without being tired and useless after just a couple trips back and forth from house to truck).

[JohnnyConfidence]

Copied! Thanks for sharing that's super cool. 

[RogueWelkin]

No problem, if you want to see it "in action" feel free to stop by my challenge thread, I've got a post up of my current one with measurements and such inserted.

 

I wouldn't say this is a requirement at all, but it might help us all (though we could get overwhelmed too, so do as you want). But at the top of each thread is a "Follow This Thread" button. I'd suggest definitely clicking on it for this thread and your own thread. But also for the threads of the other Rogue Squadron members, this way we can keep track of each other and see what's going on. Hitting that button will have the forum send you a notification via email to let you know when there's a response, and nicely even read the responses right in the email (so no need to visit the forum unless you want to reply)

Done.  Thanks for the reminder!

[RogueWelkin]

Also if you're participating in the RPG stuff, don't forget to update your Attributes for completing the first Adventurer Mini-Challenge!

[RogueWelkin]

I modified my first post in the topic here to include the members and their challenges. We have one more member that's not on that list yet that should be checking in later today, once that happens I'll get their information up at the top as well.

[RogueWelkin]

How has the first day of the challenge been treating everyone so far?

[moose004]

Hi all...I just tacked myself on as the eighth member of Rogue Squadron...and if they don't let the groups have 8 members, uh, well, never mind.

 

I am new, this is my first challenge.  Link's in my sig.

[RogueWelkin]

I think officially it's 6-7 people, but there's some groups that are even larger so... Welcome to Rogue Squadron! I altered the form a bit to make your name look less tacked on and more a part of the group!.

[Serasid]

Rogue Six standing by. Rogue Leader, do you copy good buddy?

Also, hello Squad Mates! Reporting in that i just did my first day at the gym. And it was glorious!

[RogueWelkin]

Hey hey Serasid.

 

Welcome to Rogue Squadron! Glad to hear you had a good time with the gym!
