Green Day Challenge - Final Results

jcsteele
Green Day Challenge - Final ResultsYes, believe it or not, it's over. The Green Day Challenge is done. Would you believe that there were so many Green Days that my Printer ran out of GREEN? It’s true, so the colors of the Final Graph are a bit off, but then jc says so am I.
Enough of that; the teams in the post are in Green Day Average from the Highest down. Their GDA's are BOLD. A special Congratulations to the Cupcakes, 1st, Poseidon, 2nd and Kermit's Krew, 3rd.
The Most Improved teams from Week 1 to Week 4 were:

Green Day Challenge and Fat
USAndyD
USAndyD
I had adjusted my fat percentage for the Green Day Challenge (there were a few of us who did) and a few days into it commented on how the extra fat didn't seem to be working out for me.

For the last two days I have adjusted it back and can really feel the difference tonight. For the last two days my fat grams have dropped from the 20's and 30's to arund 15 grams. I have a lot more energy and my "body" feels right.

I believe it was lmatava who also had voiced a similar concern and I wonder... ...

Green Day Challenge Trivia - Week two
jcsteele
jcsteele
With 5 teams checked in we have a bit of trivia for you.
In Week 2 the Cupcakes had 6.2737 GDA. So much for a perfect score. The Foxies have a Green Day Average of 6.3392, the highest so far. The Green Goddesses have 6.2618 GDA and that makes them the MOST IMPROVED so far. Those luscious Mermaids have a GDA of 6.1777 making them the second MOST IMPROVED. Kermit’s Krew dropped to 5.8330 GDA but that’s the smallest drop so far only 0.167 of a day. That would make them the MOST CONSISTENT. I’m sure the numbers and places ...

Still sick (Veggie Team please read)
bassoonist
bassoonist
Hi Veggie Team and anyone else who cares to read. I am still sick but this time I think I am getting a sinus infection. I felt pretty good yesterday, then this morning it slammed me again. Extreme fatigue like I've never been tired before. I've had an acute sinus infection before (my dad gets them all the time, maybe it's hereditary?). Not something that should go on someone's "Must Experience" list.

I thought I would give you all a heads up as to why I have not been logging. I will try logging tomorrow. Let's see what happens......

Warning about the Green Day Challenge
jcsteele
jcsteele
Hello All who have entered the GDC,
If you are logging on a regular basis and trying to stay Green and/or feel this Challenge is helping you THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU!!!
I have come to the conclusion that some of you who joined the Green Day Challenge either didn't understand what it was all about or suddenly life got in the way of your logging. Food Logs are what this Challenge is all about. It is a team effort. You are not doing anything wrong because that's it's up to the individual how much they choose to use the ...

Which, by the by, I will continue to participate in!

I will try to keep my fat % as low as possible within the range and still earn check marks..and give it a little while longer to make sure it isn't just my body adjusting to the new percentages! So thanks for your comments and support but I will charge forward and continue to be green! ...

The week will still run from Monday thru Sunday but hopefully everyone will have caught up with their logging and the Captains won’t have to do their jobs twice.

Green Day Challenge Dilemma
USAndyD
USAndyD
I have a slight problem, and it is about NM and the Green day Challenge.

I have adjusted my percentages at the beginning of the month to the default levels in order to try and be completely green for the challenge and I am really not comfortable with how I feel.

I looked at my stats for this month so far and my average fat grams are at 36g. When I look at Sep and Aug they were 26g and 20g respetively. That means an average gain of 16g of fat per day or a monthly equivalent of 480g of fat.

Melissa71

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice?

Here is the situation: with the green day challenge, I started bringing my own lunch in order to control foods for lunch at work. This so far involves bringing some veggies and gluten based burgers which taste nice, have lots of protein but are quite high in cals. Another change I made was to switch from rye bread (bread is my staple food) to essene type sprouted bread which has fenomenally high calories even with all the goodies on top of that :( So the newest revalation is that:

Green Day Challenge-Forming Teams
jcsteele
jcsteele
I am about to start forming the teams. Stephieg23, I am not picking on you, you are just the first Adjusted person I started with. Your adjustments are "*Relative to user-specified targets for source of calories from carbs (45%), fats (20%), and protein (35%)."
Original settings are Carbs 45 to 65%; Fats 20 to 35%; Protein 10 to 35%. All of your numbers fall within the recommended amounts but you don't get Red/Green feedback, just %. I cannot put you or anyone else who does adjusted % on a team. All of you who Adjust, please reset just for the Challenge. ...

The Caterpillar Metamorphosis ...
The Caterpillar Metamorphosis ...Caterpillars, I found this poem online. there's was no author listed, so I can't give the proper credit. I had to read a few times, thinking it was a bit odd ... but then I'm not a poet. Anyway, I think it has a good message. Hope you like it.

The caterpillar crawls and eats and eats.
And grows, shedding its skin but little more.
Crawl, climb, eat. Crawl, climb, eat.|
Of all of our lives, can we not soar?

One day as two caterpillars looked
As a beautiful butterfly sailed by.
Of course one said to the other:
"You'll never get me in a butterfly, high."

Gratefulness, laughing ...

Green Day Challengers Please Read
I've reposted this so it will stay for everyone to read...

Green Day Challengers Who have Adjusted your Diet Preferences
When you change your Diet Preferences you are no longer accountable for Total Fat, Total Carbs and Protein in the readout on your Public Page. We do not feel that it would be fair to allow 14 to have a free ride on 3 areas that could cause the other 103 players to have a Red day.
So, in fairness to the majority and for the sanity of the Captains, we are asking those of you who have adjusted your Diet Preferences ...

Remember, the rules say your food logs MUST be available.

(N) Newbie
‘NA’ means I could not access your food logs. Did I possibly misspell your name?
Adj. means your percentages have been adjusted. We are working on how to tell if you are Green.
With the new Vegetarian/vegan team(s) forming some team members may be requesting a change of team.
The Hares are now the Rabbits at the team’s request.

Teams:

Caterpillars: Candygram55: csiegfried, cynthia08, Maggieb183 (n), mjones7100 ‘NA’, Mmcqueen, ()[6]

Cupcakes: Co-Captain KarynD & Jessica: 1loser, Granny, Jannie2, Jcsteele, poopie, watrmlon Adj. (You can't lick a cupcake) [8] 1 newbie pending.
