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 JUNE. 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

    Hi, June is my fifth month on the challenge, I'm Australian, mum to a 13 yr old.

    I eat low-carb, moderate protein, moderate healthy fats, avoid processed and refined foods, and I do intermittent fasting. I have insulin resistance and am on Metformin, and a sluggish thyroid (no meds for thyroid, only supplements, so far).

    Since joining this challenge and losing weight my sleep has improved (am no longer an epic snorer, for which my husband is grateful), I wake refreshed in the morning and have much better energy levels during the day. Stress can be an issue for me - my daughter has health issues and I am primary carer - however, I have stopped stress eating and am pretty good at sticking to my way of eating.

    My stats:
    169cm / 5'7'
    40 years
    Highest Weight: 263.5lbs/119.5kg (Sunday 27th January 2019)
    June Challenge Start Weight: 210.1lbs /95.3kg (Monday, 27th May)
    June Challenge Goal Weight: 200 lbs /90.7kg ( 24th June)

    Additional June goals: keep up regular walking, strength training twice per week, incorporate 5 mins mindfulness daily.

    Hi, my name is Linda and I will be filling in as captain with @boehle for the month of June. I am a mother of three and a grandmother of 2 beautiful girls. I am married and on some days that feels like having another child. lol

    I credit this challenge with helping me be successful. I faithfully log my food daily and have set my weight loss goal to 2 pounds a week. I hit a slight plateau in May but had a big whoosh this week. I do not eliminate any foods but fit them in my calorie goals. I am travelling to my beautiful home province of Newfoundland for the next for 4 weeks, so I will be dropping my weight loss goal to .5 pounds a week. For exercise, I walk. For the last while I have had a problem with my ears that was making me dizzy. I am on medication and it is feeling much better, so I will start walking more again.

    Losing weight for me has been a life changer. I feel better physically and mentally. I am able to do more with my granddaughters which makes them happy. To the new people starting and returning challengers, I encourage you to participate in the weekly challenges. Set goals for yourself. Let us know your goals and if you want, share them. Update the group on how you are crushing them. We are here to help each other to succeed!


    HW 262.8

    June goal weight: 217.0

    Hi! Was just assigned to your team! I'm really looking forward to learning from everyone here!
    My name is Maia, and I started Keto weighing 320lbs on 2-11. I'm now at 300, and working towards losing -at minimum - 10lbs by the end of this month. My goal weight is 200lbs.

    I have been moving back and forth between IF and OMD, because I'm told my body needs to be 'tricked' to get past the stalls and plateaus. Since being here, I've learned that alot of the info I was going by is wrong (or I simply misunderstood it), and the members have been really great at helping me straighten this out once and for all.
    I'm a Mom of three C-section kids and a rouen-y, which means I am dealing with scar tissue along with belly fat, so I'm also taking choline and serrapeptase which has helped alot.

    I'm also walking with WII, but I'm being careful because of my knees. Thanks for letting me join!

    Hello Everyone!
    I think I’m beginning my 5th month here and love the positivity, accountability, and overall support I see here. I’m a 53 yr old mother of 4 sons aged 18-26. I kinda let myself become less of a priority over the years and just didn’t watch my food intake. I’ve been working at this awhile and am down 50lbs. Only 25 more to go until goal. I’m a teacher so here in Ohio we are now out of school! Woo-Hoo!! I hope to begin walking more like I have in the past. Currently getting over the stomach flu. I feel like I was hit by a train! Looking forward to a beautiful June!

    Hi, my name is Pam. I am 60 and diabetic for the last 5 years. I was at my high weight of 264.5 in Feb 2019. I am now at 251.5 (May 27th). I like to weigh on Mondays. At my doctor check-up in April, my diabetic A1C was 8.5, which is not good. My doctor put the fear into me, and I am now working really hard on my diet and sorta hard on my fitness. I meet with a dietitian and together we have set up goals of a 1,500 calorie diet, and 1,700 mg sodium, as my blood pressure is also not so great. I only started my diet last week and plummeted 4 pounds, but am stalling this week as my diet catches up with my water weight loss. I also ride my hated exercise bike 30 minutes 6 x weekly. I have suffered from major depression my entire adult life, but it has greatly improved this year, enabling me to really focus on my health. I decided I don't want to die from diabetic complications, so I am finally taking my health seriously. I would like to lose 70 pounds, then set another goal. My June goals are to lose 4 to 6 pounds, stick with my bike riding, improve my blood sugar numbers, and dust off my Total Gym and give it a whirl by the end of June. I look forward to this month and to meeting all of you!!

    One question - how do I find my way back to the Shrinking Assets page? I used the link the moderator gave me but don't know how to access normally. I am not very technological.

    If you navigate to the top of this page, on the right there is a star icon, if you click it so it turns yellow it will save this thread as a favourite and any new posts will turn up in your notifications (header bar bell shaped icon) which provides a shortcut to getting back here again.

    Hi everyone, happy to be continuing for a second month with you all! May was not a good month but June is going to be better. I’m a Mum to two boys in New Zealand, it is just coming into our winter so I’m planning on making use of my treadmill this month.
    I lead a crazy busy life and never made myself a priority, I can be organised with meal planning but emotional (including boredom) eating is a big problem for me.
    One of my goals this month is to be more involved in the group, I am very reserved and struggle to share information about myself, I guess I think it’s not important or people won’t want to know about my life

    Morning,
    I feel the same way....I struggle to share and I think it's not important and no one really cares......

    Laurie
