HOW IT ALL WORKS:
Each week, every challenger weighs in, and the tallies are done to determine the team and individuals with the most weight lost. The best losers are announced with full fanfare every Sunday. The team competition is all in good spirits - may the most losing win!
If you need a week off, a break, a change of weigh-in day - just ask your Captain here on your team chat page.
In addition to weight loss, there are F2F Full Group CHALLENGES. We have 3 different kinds of challenges. NONE is mandatory. You can do all or none - it's up to you. Participating adds a lot to your success, though, so we hope to see you there often! Here they are:
Weekly Group Challenge - The six teams take turns to provide a Challenge for the entire group. These are posted Sundays in the Announcements area by the team assigned that particular week (see below). Everyone in the F2F Group as a whole is welcome to join in and get to know challengers from other teams. There is a new challenge every week, so you can try many new ideas.
F2F Moderatorsβ Challenge/Topic of the Week - The moderators also post a weekly challenge or topic in the announcements area. These can involve anything fitness, health, or nutrition - and theyβll get you moving, thinking, and learning about this journey.
Internal Team Challenges - Every team can run internal challenges - a step counting team, daily goals, weekly games or anything that can help keep everyone involved and on track. Your ideas are welcome - just post them here.
This Monthβs Weekly Team Challenges will be provided by:
Week 1 β Team MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES
Week 2 β Team TRIMSTONES
Week 3 β Team WEIGHT NO MORE
Week 4 β Team WAISTAWAYS
Week 5 β Team SHRINKING ASSETS
Note: If for some reason your team is unable to provide the weekly challenge please let us know ahead of time so another team can take your place or the moderators 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.
Letβs make our new challengers feel welcome and show them some F2F love!! Introduce yourselves, and let the new month begin.
THANKS! YOUR MODS

We are thrilled you joined our group and welcome back my fellow teammates! ππ
I am Sally and happy to be your Co-Captain along with my friend and awesome Co-Captain Sue @shbarbor. Our team motivator Kai @confidentRaven is an awesome inspiration. Our pal Greg @Navydaddjtc (also he is the group owner)! πππ is our Fitness Captain!
I love Workout ποΈββοΈ Warriors, MyFitnessPal and the support of friends. Last December I was looking at photos from Thanksgiving and I wasnβt happy with what I saw. I didnβt like how I looked, however, more importantly I didnβt like how I felt. I knew it was time for change. January started with βdry Januaryβ, Barre and healthy diet. I didnβt see initially the pounds flying off like they did in my 20βs, I was frustrated, however, I knew it would take time. The pounds started coming off. I give a lot of credit to MyFitnessPal of the support and encouragement!! I knew I wouldnβt quit! Knowing the holidays are coming up I will stay focused and thankful we have each other for support and accountability. We have fun upcoming challenges to keep us motivated!
Treat letβs kick it in December pals! π² π
Letβs feel great from the inside out! πππ
If you have any questions or anything, please feel free to reach out. πππ Letβs be friends!
Still love emojis, LOL. π π2 -

I canβt believe November is already over! I swear that month always flies by! Bring on December! Always a harder month for me as we travel for Christmas.1

Love it! Bring on December!
I am Sue & am a new Co-Capt along with Sally who is leading the way! Greg is our fitness Captain & group owner & Kai is our Motivator, all as stated by Sally, Kai & Greg above! We're excited to have our new team members & thrilled to keep our current team members! We're all here for accountability & to help each other along.
I joined in October after watching my weight creep up each year. A former runner, I was not used to watching the quantity of food I eat & I had backed off exercise since I couldn't run. Annoyed with my growing belly & feeling out of shape, here I am! I love the support & great suggestions I've gotten from my team-mates!! We're all in this together!3 -
I watched an inspirational, heartwarming & funny movie while putting my aching feet up last night! "Brittany Runs a Marathon", on Amazon Prime Video & I don't know where else. Absolutely loved it!5

weighing sundays
previous: 165
Current 164.5
NSV: Each day, I have been saying 30 things I've been grateful for in my life... even tangible things like my cozy carpet or white kitchen cabinets.... apparently this is supposed to raise your positive vibrations.
Foodwise: epic failure was buying a box of chocolate bars, handing some out, but eating one a night. What am I doing? Will take them to work and put them in teacher's lounge tomorrow.

Check in for 11/30
Stay under my calorie goal (currently 1740) β 1723
Get 5,000 steps a dayβ 12,225
No eating out β
Exercise for at least 20 minutes a day. β 40 minute walk
No caffeine after 1pm (my dr's suggestion for sleep issues) β

@shbarbor Great job on those goals!
@RubyRed427 Nice loss! What a great NSV, I know that self-affirmation has worked for a number of people that I know. Now where is this teacher's lounge, asking for a friend, seriously though it's always difficult being around foods we love.
Congratulations to all those who lost last month!

GOOD MORNING FITNESS WARRIORS AND I DO MEAN WARRIORS....THANKS FOR THE INTRO SUE @SHBARBOR (CO-CAPTAIN), KAI @ConfidentRaven (MOTIVATOR, AND SALLY @Fitness327wk (CO-CAPTAIN)
SO HERE WE GO...
MY STATS
RETIRED US NAVY SPEC OPS DOG HANDLER COMBAT RETIRED, RETIRED EXEC, CHEF ( BOTH AT SEA AND ON THE BEACH) RETIRED CULINARY ARTS INSTRUCTOR FOR THE BOYS&GIRLS CLUB OF SOUTH PUGET SOUND AT THE SOUTH PIERCE COUNTY BRANCH
MARRIED TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE MARCIE KATHLEEN 30+YEARS, 2 SONS (DJ AND TC) BOTH SERVING IN THE US NAVY BOTH CAREER SAILORS AS I WAS THEIR DAD (RETIRED CPO) AND THEIR UNCLES ( 3 US MARINES DEPART.

AT THE SAME TIME I WAS THE VICTIM OF A WELL PLACE BOBBY TRAP WHICH COST ME THE LOWER PORTION OF MY RIGHT CALF AND MY MY RIGHT FOOT. SO GOES THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATION OF WAR AND WE MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE WITH A LOT MENTAL AND PHYSICAL THERAPY.
I HAVE BEEN A WARRIOR FROM THE GET GO. I JOINED IN 2016 TOOK A SMALL BREAK AND CAME BACK AFTER GETTING A NEW PROSTHETIC TO WORKOUT ON AND WALK WITH.
AS WE APPROACH THE HOLIDAY SEASON I WOULD LIKE ALL OF US FITNESS WARRIORS TO AWARE OF THE CALORIES THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONSUME AND BE MINDFUL THAT IT WON'T DETER US FROM OUR GOALS AS A TEAM AND AS A PERSON.

AS WARRIORS I AM GOING TO ASK YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MODERATORS CHALLENGE AND THE GROUP CHALLENGE AND OUR TEAM CHALLENGE. THESE CHALLENGES ARE COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY, HOWEVER IT CONQUERS 2 THINGS... YOU MEET AND CHAT WITH OTHER CHALLENGERS AND YOU PUSH YOURSELF TO BE A HEALTHIER YOU. I HAVE ONE GOAL IN MIND FOR ME
I WANT TO GET BACK TO THIS GUY
NOT THIS PHAT GUY (PRE OSTOMY SURGERY)
IT'S TIME TO TURN AND BURN THIS PHAT INTO MUSCLE
