Hi everyone my name is Dale, jagzag is my user name. Really looking forward to meeting all of you and getting into some really fun challenges!!!! Friend me if you would like. Should be a really fun and rewarding spring.0

I am Lorna (Headrain) and this is my second challenge with This group - it is awesome and I was able to reach my goal with the winter challenge! For those of you new to challenges it will seem like A LOT - don't get overwhelmed!!! You can follow along as you can and ask for help when you need it.
I am 43 years old and a nurse, wound care specialist. I have fibromyalgia so exercise is a big challenge for me, especially on bad days. Not eating sweets to temporarily feel "better" is a weakness of mine, too! Fortunately I have a very supportive husband and I just believe in taking it one day at a time! I am on the brink of finally getting out of the 200's and into One-der land (as a friend called it) and hope to never see the starting number 2 on the scale again!
Welcome all, and let's rock this challenge!!!!0 -
I sent friend requests to you all except dittybugdesig and michellelova as I couldn't find you in the system, so try friending me!
To friend each other:
Click on the person's name in blue, then click on their picture, then friend request!
It's easier to support (and keep an eye on) each other if we are all friends!0 -
Hey! Excited for the challenge...got the group thread saved so hopefully that'll make it easier to keep up with all the activity.0

Hey everyone! My name is Jessica and this is my first challenge with this group! It sounds like a ton of fun and a great way to make sure I workout daily!
I will try and add everyone! 
I have already lost 8 pounds using this app and want to keep up my motivation and progress! I am a college student and part time worker so my workouts are done at home and late at night! I can't wait to start! 0 -

Hi everyone! My name is Nicci and I'm a recent college graduate and a newlywed (as of Jan 16!). I was able to lose about 12 pounds before my wedding, but have gained a little bit of it back. I'd like to lose another 10+ pounds with this challenge before my next half marathon in May!0

Hello everyone! Can't wait to get started. I'm hoping that this challenge will help get motivated me to lose my last few pounds. I love challenges, so I'm very excited! :-)0

It is a beautiful day here in California. I am looking forward to working losing weight while getting to meet awesome people. I am petite standing at 5' 0" so any 'extra' pounds show. I am currently 118.4 and hope to be 108. I don't mind if I am higher on the scale as long as I have muscle. Go Team 3!!!0

Wow, I made a lot of friends overnight!!! Must be my "winning" personality. Go team 3.0

Pat from Ireland will opt to be male. The way it's always been! Lol0 -
Hi Pat, it's ok if you want to stay a guy. Don't feel bad, everyone thinks I'm a man with a name like Dale. The government tried to draft me into the army when I turned 18. Lol.0

Welcome everyone! So happy to see you all on here chatting! I'm fine with a team name if you want to go for that, we've had one suggestion so far, any others?
The spreadsheet is a very important part of this challenge as we enter in our weight, activities and such. Is there anyone who cannot figure the darn thing out? Please let me know if so, and I will help!0 -
Suggestions so far:
The Variety Pack
Spring Cleaners
Daisy Clippers0 -
Congrats Nicci!

Hey Guys!! Happy to be here!!! It's Chatpati.., not Chatipati... It's ok.. We can correct name spelling later... At least we sorted the chaos of who belongs to what team... I must say its s huge undertaking...and kudos to everyone who worked hard...
Now it's our turn to do the hard work... Stay focused and reach our individual goals while having fun being on the team!!!
Good luck all!!0 -
Yes!!! I finally got placed on a team. I was worried when my name didn't show up on the first version.
My name is Steve. I am a chronic yo yo'r. However, I hurt my back playing ball last August that in turn resulted in minimal exercise and lots of eating ever since. Now my back feels like I can push it again, but I have gained lots of weight over the last 6 months. This challenge will be perfect to get the ball rolling. I have a long term plan of being 50 lbs down by Mid September so I am in good shape for my interviews and the start of next soccer season, which sadly means very restricted alcohol related fun over the summer.
Personal Info: I'm 32, husband of almost 5 years (I guess I should plan something), I have a 2 year old daughter, in night school for accounting while working days, I play saxophone in a band that has a new album soon to be released this month, soccer is over for now, ball is starting soon, my credit card number is 4803 083 387 (just kidding), and I live in B.C (Pacific Time Zone). That's me in a nut shell.
Personally, I like Spring Cleaners from the three suggestions so far.
Glad to be aboard!!0 -
Welcome to the crowd Steve. Sounds like you are a pretty busy guy. Thanks for the gift.(credit card)0

Chatpati, sorry about the name confusion.0

Quick question: does the challenge consist of specific exercises, amount of pounds we lose or increase in preassessment numbers?0
-
I've never done the challenge before, but my take on it is there are two separate challenges.
1) Spring Break Training Challenge, which is weight and nutrition related
2) Amazing Race, which is exercise related
Any exercise will tally towards reaching your destination
I think there is a chance during a roadblock she might specify a certain exercise (or fun quirky activity... Trivia...etc)
Pre-Assessment is a personal measure. Ideally to show improvement over weeks to keep you motivated when the scale isn't cooperating. It's a big picture assessment for your benefit only.
However, that's just my guess. I could easily be wrong.0 -
Mrtubbs welcome, and you are correct!
There is the weight loss (which will be a combined loss of the team) and the amazing race part which will be the combined minutes of exercise of the team (with everyone having to give at least 10% of the total and no one person counting for more than 50%).
Then there's quirky challenges for fun thrown in each week like Russian dancing or 5 color food for a week. It will be described in detail each week!0 -
Welcome Chatpati!0

Quick question....I know we update our weight on the spreadsheet, but when do we weigh in? I'm sure it said it somewhere, but I can't remember.0
