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

@Cryptic_k Welcome to the team!! Introduce yourself and tell us what's behind this interesting name...
@KathynDes @disturbed4ever13 @kmfeig87 WAY TO GO ON OCTOBER STATS!! Amazing effort!!
Taking names for November steppers...it's not automatic so let me know if you want to track steps for the month and remember to tell us where you'll be walking this month...parks, gym, treadmill at home, etc...I so wish I could master the reading thing while walking the treadmill but it makes me dizzy...kinda like reading in a car I guess...too weird. I'm so weird SMH!

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!

Hi everyone. I'm Karen. I'm 43 and live in Sydney, Australia with my husband and three kids. I lost around 25 pounds several years ago on Michelle bridges (an Australian biggest loser trainer) program but since then it's slowly crept back on and now I'm feeling sluggish and unhealthy as I've been working long hours and finding it hard to stay on track. That's where I'm hoping this group can help me, (and hopefully I can help all of you too) with encouragement and accountability. Excitingly, I've recently finished a degree and have my graduation coming up in mid December. I really want to feel good on the day and be able to look back at the photos and feel proud. So I'm very motivated to lose a few pounds between now and then and then continue on to get back to my previous weight.
Look forwarding to meeting you all.
P.s. my name comes from my love of cryptic crosswords. My dad taught me to do them as a kid and I still love them now. 😀😀4 -

Hi Karen @Cryptic_k
I’m Kathy, 37 and from Aus too.
Congratulations for getting your degree! You should be super excited, 3 kids and a job and studying and FINISHING ⭐️ Studying and I have never been best friends. I run a business with my husband and I’d love to become a qualified bookkeeper (or even bigger dream Accountant!). I’m hoping once my kids are a bit older I might be able to get some of my time (brain) back and sneak it in.
Hope you have fun here.2 -
