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

Team Weight No More's Week One Challenge
I don't have time. I sit all day at the office. Excuses. That is all they are. If you want something bad enough you will figure out how to make it happen. I have learned that as long as I am moving, I am burning calories. It doesn't have to be a full 30 minutes. Even if you do just 5 minutes at a time it is better than 0 minutes. 5 minutes at a time thru out the day can add up to a really good workout. And likely the hardest part is just getting started. So come on.... Get up off that chair. Trust me, no one will care and you will definately not regret it.
I have includes some posters of office friendly exercises. Anyone can do them. So come on... Lets do one poster a day. Then, go to your team thread and tell them how you did. There is something for everyone. No excuses. Everyone has 5 minutes. Lets start making being active a habit, even if we have an sedentary job. And captains, hold your team accountable. Ask them everyday, what they are doing to be more active. Lets change our lifestyle one day, one pose at a time.

Welcome to July! We're a tad early, but ready to roll
So even though there have already been a lot of announcements, news, and already the challenge for Week 1 - this is also the beginning for our new members, and a chance for all of us to (re-)introduce ourselves. If you have goals for the month, put those here too.
I'm Liselyn, resident of a very quiet wooded corner of Québec, musician, retired from university position that I held for 37 years. I have been within a reasonable margin of my goal weight for a few years, but now am working to actually hit that goal at last. I'm a small person, so hitting that weight means being pretty serious about not eating a lot, and getting plenty of exercise. Like a dachshund. Or a corgy. I have grown to love how good being strong feels, so I try hard to keep up my workout schedule, but sometimes get distracted. By my big vegetable garden, or just the big outdoors. Makes it hard to get in there and lift heavy things. So I stick with this team. It is incredibly helpful to be accountable, to share ideas and support, to get to know you all.
I'm one of the co-captains and also a moderator for the full set of 6 teams. If there are ANY problems, questions, you want to change something, whatever - ask away. If you prefer, use the message system or email liselyn@gmail.com
Post your weigh-ins here, and I'll flag them "insightful" when they get entered into the spreadsheet. Keep on posting other stuff too. Enjoy July!

ABSOLUTELY! @Navydaddjtc agrees I am sure - but it is up to us here on Team WaistAways. You are always welcome, and it will be great to have you on board. Travelling makes it really hard!2 -

I just finished this first one... I hurt my back about a week ago and it's still painful, so some of these were uncomfortable, but I did the best I could.
Maybe they'll help to ease the back pain a bit too!
Some of the exercises on the other posters might be a bit too much of a challenge right now, but I'll see how it goes.3 -
Hi I am Andrea, from Toronto.
I am 61 and retired. I have two adult sons and a very nice husband.
I have had weight problems since my kids were born 20 years ago. Before then, I was in the "I just need to lose 10 pounds" category. I think it all started with the sugar I started eating to keep my energy up. Did not work, needless to say.
I have bounced around between 140 and 210 ever since. I am currently almost back at 160. My ultimate goal is probably 140, but I am not sure. I may decide 150 is good enough.
I had a few health problems earlier this year, which I think I am now fully recovered from. But I recently decided I needed to work with a nutritionist to seal the deal on improving my health. That is going really well.
Most of you will know that my husband had a heart attack last Sunday. When he came into emergency he was told it was "pretty big", but right now it looks like it is in the more moderate category. He is an optimist by nature so that is very helpful to him and to me. He has already converted his eating to something healthier, and although it is a bit different from what I am eating in overall composition, it will be easier if we are both eating healthy.
Thanks for all your support.4 -

I want to lose 10 pounds but I will be realistic. XD
So please put me down for a goal of 6 pounds lost in July. That should be doable.5 -
@jugar Please include me in the Show Me the Green Challenge. I'm pledging to lose 7 pounds in July. But I know I could do better. Thanks.3
-
@jugar assuming life does not throw me another curve ball this month, I should be good for 3 pounds. LOL.3
-
I will pledge to have a 5 pound loss for the month of July. I have holidays and my niece’s wedding coming up, but I think it is doable.3

@kx7003 you have been with us for a while now, but heck! Welcome again! You have been doing great.
Here is what we have for Green July so far:
@Andreabroadley 5 pounds (and already down .6! Sunday weigh-in gets you off to a fast start)
@jugar 2 pounds
@Perla4686 5 pounds
@BMcC9 3 pounds
@evangsimmons170 7 pounds
@Terytha 6 pounds
@Loriab901 3 pounds

You can revise your pledge any time! If something happens and it looks impossible, take it down a notch. If you get on an amazing roll, increase it. Just post it here and I'll fix it up.
Any more takers? Even if you're not up to putting a number on it, we can always aim for more green!
