* Encourage participation in the moderators challenge and in the weekly team challenges.
* Remind your challengers to enter their weights on time by tagging them or messaging them when they are pending.

Motivator’s Responsibilities include:
* Be active in team discussions, encouraging and supporting the challengers as they post.
* Encourage challengers to participate in challenges and in group discussions.
* Participate in team discussions encouraging team participation.
* Help remind challengers when they are due to post (and especially when overdue to post) weights.

F2F-WLC CHALLENGES:
- - WEEKLY GROUP CHALLENGE (Challenges hosted by teams for the entire group)
- - MODERATOR'S CHALLENGE (Challenges hosted by the moderators of the group)
- - INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES (Challenges within teams themselves)
Team Weekly challenges will be announced in later communications
(Note:The team order for challenges follows the team order in the group standing sheet on the spreadsheets)
HOW OUR CHALLENGES WORK:
We have 4 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 APRIL. 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

https://darebee.com/programs/cardio-go.htmlTHIS WEEK MODERATORS CHALLENGE
LET'S GET THAT HEART A PUMP-IN WHAT YA SAY
Cardio Go is a low impact 30-day no-equipment program with a focus on streamline achieved through steady burn. It has a simple easy-to-follow structure and it’s designed as a running substitute.
The program is perfect for beginners as well as people at an advanced fitness level who want to add extra, moderate exercise to their day. Each session is 30-40 minutes long. Rest between sets is optional and it can be skipped.
All exercises in the program are standing exercises, at no point will you need to get down on the floor - there are no burpees, push-ups or planks. This program can be repeated indefinitely after the 30 days are up. Each day simply start the timer and go! Repeat the set for each day seven times in total. You can do more or fewer sets to increase or decrease the workout time to better fit it into your day.

Crazy weekend. My daughter was sick Wednesday, I stayed home with her half of Thursday, then worked thursday afternoon. Took Friday off for my Great Aunts funeral that was out of town and my husband stayed behind because my middle son was sick. Saturday everyone seemed healthy, ran a bunch of errands, then yesterday my daughter AGAIN had a fever, and my oldest son.
I did manage to get a good workout in yesterday, upper body and 25 minutes on my elliptical. My treadmill took a crap, I dont know whats wrong with it. belt feels almost like its slipping, but its tight.

Trying hard to get my eating back in control. It hasnt been awful, but ive been eating more in maintnance rather then a deficit, which hasnt been the worst while paired with regular lifting, my coworker who I workout with sometimes on Wednesdays was with me last Wednesday and i was goofing off and flexed my arms and she stopped and said "wow, look at that definition, whatever your doing is working" then yesterday when I finished my workout, I walked outside to my husband, and he said "wow you're looking buff" so yay that others are noticing, but Id still like to drop some fat, so onward to a deficit I go again
meanwhile, I am SOOO hungry, and my eating window doesnt start for an hour, ugh5 -
@mulecanter my starting weight and week 1 weight will be the same. Thank you.0

@angmarie28 being called buff is a great compliment even for women! The best compliment I ever got was secondhand, one of my son's friends told him in amazement "your Dad has a six pack!". Alas, that was about 20 pounds from here.

@mulecanter I used to have the start of a 6 pack, that was also 20lbs from where I currently am.1
