F2F-WLC CHALLENGES:

- - MODERATOR'S CHALLENGE (Challenges hosted by the moderators of the group)
- - INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES (Challenges within teams themselves)
This Month’s Weekly Team Challenges provided by: (Team captains, please be ready with each weeks challenge...)
Week 1 – Team SHRINKING ASSETS
Week 2 - Team WORKOUT WARRIORS
Week 3 - Team MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES
Week 4 - Team TRIMSTONES
(Note:The team order for challenges follows the team order in the group standing sheet on the spreadsheets)
HOW OUR CHALLENGES WORK:
We have 3 total possible challenges and NONE are mandatory. Our challengers can do none or all it's up to them. So we have...
The F2F Weekly TEAM Challenge - posted each week on Sunday in the announcements by the team who is assigned that particular week (see above for your week). This is for the F2F Group as a whole.
F2F Moderators Challenge/Topic of the week - This challenge is provided each week in the announcements area. One of the moderators will either provide a challenge that will involve anything fitness, health, and nutrition.
Individual Team challenges - these are challenge done within your own team. You can chose daily, weekly, or monthly challenges (weekly seems to work best). You can make this whatever you wish as long as it's health and fitness related.
Note: If for some reason your team is unable to provide the weekly challenge please let me know ahead of time so another team can take your place or so I can provide the challenge.
Good Luck Teams: Please let us know if there is anything wrong or if you notice something that needs to be fixed or modified. Everything seems ready to go for FEBRUARY. Registrations are almost done and we have quite a few new challengers. Make sure you are going into your new team threads to welcome anyone who has started posting. Let’s make our newbies feel welcome and show them some F2F love!!
THANKS YOUR MODS

THANKS TO @MARI AND @Beka3695
FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD AND TIME CONSUMING WORK YOU DID IN MY ABSENCE.
I AM TRYING TO GET MY HEALTH BACK IN ORDER AND BETWEEN TESTS AND APPOINTMENT IT WAS A STRUGGLE FOR ME KEEP UP WITH IT ALL. I WAS ASKED TO STEP BACK THIS MONTH FOR THE REGISTRATION PROCESS WHILE MY BODY, MY DOC'S AND I FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG.
TESTING IS DONE RESULTS ARE IN...... SOME GOOD SOME NOT SO GOOD....REFERRALS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE APPROPRIATE SPECIALISTS SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AS OF NOW.
I WILL STILL WILL HANDLE THE WARRIORS ALONG WITH STEVE. THAT'S NOT A BIG THING AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT NO PROBLEM.
I AM A WARRIOR AND A NAVY MAN AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP. IT'S NOT IN A WARRIORS DNA OR VOCABULARY TO QUIT OR THROW IN THE TOWEL OR ANYTHING ELSE OF THAT NATURE. I WILL FIGHT THIS WITH THE INTENSITY I FOUGHT WITH BACK ION THE DAY.
IN CLOSING THANK YOU ALL FROM BOTH MARCIE AND MYSELF FOR THE WELL WISHES AND CONTINUED SUPPORT.
GREG, MARCIE AND SHADOW X-1175 -
@Navydaddjtc prayers and good thoughts for you and your family.1

Did my monthly body composition analysis today, not the results I wanted but its also not super accurate, so its ok, according to it, Im down a pound dom last month, but up 0.4% BF. The guy who runs it though has diffrent challenges each month and he gave me a diffrent one from everyone else because I do workout more than others and have specific goals other than lose weight, so this month Im working on reducing my sugar consumption. avoid anything with added sugar, avoid things with more than 8g or sugar per serving, unless they dont come with a lable (fruit, ect) and avoid white foods like bread, chips, muffins, tortillas, ect. the other is stick to real foods as much as possible, which is natural made foods vs, man made foods (which I do pretty well already), so we will see how this goes4

Hi everyone!!
First month of 2019 is already over!! Let's welcome February, hope it's fabulous to all of us!! My numbers on scale was not that pleasant today but I guessed so as I finally continued my weight lifting session after 3 months gap. My legs have not recovered from the Wednesday's session and today's next session!! One great effect of heavy lifting is that you can fall asleep effortlessly.

No, I love carbs too much to do anything close to keto, but im doing this because I LOVE my carbs, so trying to stick to whole wheats instead of over processes stuff. I still consume plenty of carbs, lol2 -

Hi everyone, I'm a long time user of myfitnesspal but new to forums/community. I've lost a significant amount of weight before, but I'm back at my highest now. My goal is to lose 17kg (~37lbs) before June, as I will be turning 30 and going on holiday in Japan for the month.
Unfortunately my body keeps throwing hurdles at me (I started dieting and failed a couple of times last year), the last one was sprained ankles (yup, both of them). I did very little physical activity while they recovered but I was a bit eager to get back to the gym so I made an injury friendly work out focusing mostly on my upper body. I guess I underestimated my current level of fitness, because here I am now with t-rex arms (triceps too tight to bend my arms beyond 90 degrees). Hoping it's just DOMS and not an injury, but it's very painful. Time will tell I suppose. In the meantime, trying to keep my diet on track but it's very hard as I'm just starting my diet and with my ankles and arms out of commission I can't exercise off excess calories if I slip up.
Anyway, here are my current stats:
Sat 2/2: starting weight 90kg (198.4lbs), 15 minutes cardio, 45 minutes weight training. Under calorie goal.
Sun 3/2: Under calorie goal.
Mon 4/2: Under calorie goal.
For the weekly challenge, I do 4 of those already so I'm choosing 10 glasses of water per day as my 5th.4 -

Chili and chips bonanza watching the game, salt overload. I will detox this week and pay for all of my weekend indulgence. I did lose the super bowl pool I was in so there's that. I WILL reenter Onderland this month!
Question for step challengers, are you able to enter your own steps via the spreadsheet? I'd prefer to not do that if you all can do it yourselves--since I haven't been doing it I'm guessing that's how it's been done?2 -
Welcome newcomers to the Trimstones, Intros all around please. I'm one of the team captains and I'm a long time MFP'er. I'm in New Mexico, I'm married with three teenage boys, two dogs and two cats. I have been going sideways for several months
now but I'm trying to re-lose what I gained back over several years. That last 20 pounds is always the hardest! 2 -

@mulecanter the spreadsheet is read only so we can't enter our own steps.0
