This is so exciting the amazing race will begin soon. I have sent all of you messages and friend requests. It would be great though if everyone can take a minute to introduce themselves to the team. I'm Danae and I'm 41 mother of 2 teenagers and currently disabled nurse working on putting my lupus into remission through the Paleo diet and exercise. I just finished the Winter Blast challenge and it was a ton of fun. I expect this one to be just as awesome.

Every week we will log our exercise minutes on the spreadsheet. If you have a rest day just put in a zero for that day. I completely understand everyone is at different fitness levels. I would never want someone to push themselves to far to try to keep up with another. Just do what your body will allow. Trust me I have been in every avenue of illness, pain, meds, no exercise. I totally understand some people will have limits and that's OK!!!!!

If anyone needs help with the spreadsheets just let me know. I hope we can all support and positively encourage each other every week!!

One last thing I had asked for some ideas for team names so let's just toss them around here and vote!! I'm so glad to have each and every one of you on my team. Welcome aboard and lets do this!!!!!

    Hello :smiley:

    I'm Eva and I live in the UK, where I'm a student in physics. I'm 35, married and have a teenage son.
    Since I became a student again, 3 years ago, I gained around 35 lbs (15 kg). I hurt my back 6 months ago and have been living with sciatica and constant pain (sometimes very strong) ever since. One of the reasons I'm not recovering, as far as I understand, is my weight. So apart from aesthetic reasons I really need to lose this weight again if I want to be able to walk without popping painkillers in my mouth after every walk.
    I started my calorie tracking on 9th Feb this year and have lost about 5lbs so far with only walking daily and no other exercise.
    I've never been in a challenge (or group even) before and still making my way around here. :blush:

    Hey ya'll! I live in the NC. I will be turning 50 years young in 24 days! I have been married to my best friend for almost 31 years. I am determined to be the best me I can be and have decided 2016 is my year. I have never done a challenge like this before but I am super excited to participate. I need motivation and I think being part of a team will help with that! LET'S DO THIS TEAM 2! B)

    Hello!! I'm Liz and I live Michigan. I'm 34 years and I have been married for ten years. I have two beautiful boys ages 6 years and 7 months. I started at 284 6 months ago after having my second child and I'm down 59lbs. I love myself and I have so much confidence in myself regardless of my weight. I told myself that 2016 was my year and I was going to get in the best shape of my life. No excuses and no *kitten* I'm going to do this. I love that I get to share this journey with people who have the same goals and struggles as I do. I'm here to have a lot of fun, make new friends and kick some *kitten*!! We got this!! #2016

    Hi! I'm Michelle. I'm 38 (soon to be 39) and live in Northern Kentucky with my partner and our two crazy dogs. I've gained a lot of weight due to depression and health issues. I'm trying to lose weight and get healthy before my 40th birthday next year. This is my first challenge and I'm excited to get started and share the journey with supportive people.

    I like the team name Happy Feet.

    Superheroes sounds great to me!

    I'm Jess; 30 years old, married mother to two girls 5 &7. I have never been involved in a MFP challenge before, but I am looking forward to this one!

    I am currently in the healing process of a multitude of health issues, and at the point that I am able to lose weight. My body has a whole lot of healing to do and I have 40 pounds to lose, to be gone FOREVER!! It's time to lose all the weight, continue to get healthy and even healthier and ultimately to my optimal once I have lost all the weight and well into stabilization mode.

    I have to keep everything low impact and watch my pace (burn out factor), but I will help with everything as a team member! Ilook forward to working with all of you!

    Hi all, I am Tia.
    I am 33 yo. Live with my husband 4 shell babies and one fur baby (labrador ) in Michigan. This is my first challenge on MFP and excited about it.

    After being diagnosed for t2 diabetes, 4 miscarriages (last one beilg in Oct 15) and 1 ectopic pregnancy (which sent me to ER with some serious health problems in August 15) I decided to get my health and specially my Diabetes under complete control. So I am all for getting into this challange..

    I empathize with everyone here going through health issues and wish all of us good and happy health.

    Thanks

    Tia.
