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 NOVEMBER. 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

HELLO SHRINKERS!!!
I am Beka, one of your Team Captains and Group Moderator. My counterpart and bestie is @boehle.
I am 43, married and mom of 2 daughters and 3 fur babies. I will be a first time grandma AKA Mimi in February 2020!!! I live in the beautiful mountains of Northern Georgia. FEEL FREE TO READ MY POSTS WITH A SOUTHERN ACCENT.
I started my journey 2 years ago at 242 lbs, lost down to 174 and maintained almost 9 months before gaining back to 232 in July. I did a complete reset as of August 1… Cleared my +1000 day streak and started over. It has been VERY liberating!
My MOE is CICO. I cannot stick with anything else. Keto sounds good to me, but so does bread.
My Stats:
5'7' and 43
227 lbs
November Goals:
- Do better than October... and September...
- LOG EVERY DARN BITE!
- Stay under 1400 average daily intake
- Drink my water
- Keep my feet moving
- Follow a modified #last90days
- Log my goals, accomplishments and feelings
If you have not already, feel free to friend me.3 -
WEIGH IN REMINDERS
We like to use a specific posting pattern for weigh ins. This helps us to find and post them quickly and not have to sort thru the regular team chatter - WHICH WE LOVE AND ENCOURAGE.
When you are posting your regular weekly weigh in - please use this format:
Beka3695
Saturday
PW: 227.0

I was still going through the "can't really see the difference" stage. I have to take a photo every month for a weight loss challenge and I wear the same shirt for each one. Aside from the bad hair do as I had just finished a bike ride, this feels pretty good!

November Challenge!
SW: 164.2 lbs (28 Oct)
Nov Goal: 154 lbs (25 Nov)
This month I hope to hit a very significant milestone: when I get to 157.4 lbs I will enter the "healthy weight category" by having a BMI under 25! When I started this journey (February Challenge), I was in the class 3 obese category with a BMI of 41.84. Excited to be nearing my goal, but I guess I shouldn't celebrate yet - touch wood I don't jinx myself
Additional goals for this month:- Run intervals two mornings a week (provided it is cool enough).
- Swim at least once a week.
- Keep up with everything else I'm already doing (healthy eating, yoga 3 days a week, Last 90 Day challenge, good sleep, etc).

It is that time of the year again! Time to “fall back”. Today we need to set our clocks back one hour (unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii or other regions where DST is not observed) Many times these time changes effect our sleeping routine. That is why for this week Team Weight No More is challenging everyone to get a better nights sleep! Studies from the US Centers for Disease Control show that over 1/3 of us regularly skimp on sleep. Although it may not seem like it is a big deal to not get proper rest, millions of sleep deprived people mean more dangerous roads, more costly health care and reduced productivity. Sleep deprivation impairs learning, decision making, emotions and adds stress. It also takes a physical toll. The risk of heart disease, Alzheimer disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity all climb with sleep deprivation. These are some of the most significant health concerns facing people today.
One of the best way to improve your chances of getting a good night’s rest is by adopting healthy sleep hygiene habits. The chart below is from the National Sleep Foundation. This is a 7 day plan for incorporating some good habits into your routine.
When you do your daily check in with your team this week. Discuss how the tip for the night before worked for you. Hopefully by the end of the week you are able to incorporate these 7 tips and change your sleeping habits for the better!
