    I sent everyone a friend request that didn't already send me one. I can't find kandice-quailed and I double checked on the original team list. Has anyone else found her (assuming it is a girl)?

    Hi All,

    I'm Heather, 37, mom to 1 energetic 3 year old. Over the last few years I've lost 70+ pounds with the help of MFP and different challenges/groups on here. I was within 4 pounds of my ultimate goal weight and BAM life got hard the last 6 months. It's not a good excuse, but it's life, I lost focus and gained 10 pounds back. Life is settled mostly and I'm ready to get serious again. Every time I hit a wall in my weight loss I've joined a group of some kind and it has helped get me back on track. Accountability is a major part of losing weight and keeping it off. If you're just starting on your journey I encourage you to stick this out! You are worth it! I'm excited to be part of the group and look forward to working together to win this thing!! Let's do this Team 8!

    Hi Team 8,

    Nice to meet you all :smiley:

    I'm Annmarie from Manchester England, I'm 36 years old. Since my early 30s my weight has been up and down, I'm hoping this time it will be more of a lifestyle change than a diet!
    Looking forward to starting the challenge i have never done one before, I haven't exercise regularly for at least 8 months, so it will definitely be a challenge.

    Lets do this Team 8 :smile:

    This first distance is a big one! It's 4882 miles so that averages to 325 minutes per person. I know that's a huge amount but lets try it! It will be a real challenge for most of us. Don't forget there are also extra points for any extra minutes, the arm challenge, nutrition challenge, and accountability challenge. Please do not feel like you have to do everything, but if you do the arm challenge or squat challenge you can include those in your minutes!

    Hey team 8... I'm Shawnee...I'm late posting here but I'm in. The start of this happens to fall at a very busy time. Haha.. when isn't it a busy time. I'm a SAHM to 3, one in college, one in high school and one in middle school. My obstacle is putting me first. The travel soccer for my boys keeps us logging many hours a week on the road. That means on the go or late meals, which are my downfall.

    I've played yo-yo with this 25 lbs for a year and I'm determined to just let it go instead of bringing it back this time. I don't like to run or what I call run, some may call a fast walk. But it seems to be what works best for me for weight-loss... so that is a goal.. to get that working for me.

    This first week will be harder for me as we are traveling for tournament this weekend. Then mid week we head cross country for a major weekend of soccer. That means hotels and all meals out... will do my best on food but not punishing myself for this trip to sin city!

    I am on my phone all weekend so asking if we aren't friends yet, can you send me a friend request? I will try to catch those I haven't connected with early in the week.

    Love the names suggested. Let's rock this team 8!

    Welcome Shawnee!
    Oh my goodness I am so excited to start tomorrow! We are going to Crush this! We now have 16 people checked in, so that reduces the number of minutes per person to 305. Remember that life often gets in the way, so sometimes people won't hit that number and as a team we need to try and cover it, so if you can do more than 305 that would be great! Plus, we get extra points for any additional minutes we do.

    On the spreadsheet where you originally listed your weight and pre-test results, you'll now see a page for each team. This is where you can post how many minutes you've worked out each day. The total minutes will automatically be tallied, but you must post your MINUTES of each workout (ie 90 not 1 1/2 hours).
    Next is a section for roadblocks. Write which ones (or both) that you complete, but also count the video as part of your minutes for the day.
    There is also a spot for each of the extra challenges: nutrition, accountability, arms. You can write in there how many days you complete each of those challenges.

    I know it seems like a lot so if you have any questions feel free to message me!

    Hey everyone, my name is Mira. I'm sorry for checking in late. School keeps me busy but I really want to do this challenge so I'm going to cut time out for this.

    I live in the part of Texas that's country being invaded by city. I'm 18 years old and I live with my parents. I like to challenge myself. Over the summer I'm planning on running my first 10K.

    Can't wait for this challenge!
