Hi Team,
I'm having awful trouble getting into the Fitrockr league. I clicked on the leagues button, and from there the public leagues tab. I got this:

And on clicking on the Enter box, I got this:

Which led to this:

I'm confused because I don't see my name there. Is this what I'm supposed to be seeing?0

Hi everyone!
I think I got into the correct fitrockr team. I can see @eggfreak and @jugar so I'm calling it a win. Looking forward to getting back to working out. Finally no fever today but still just resting. I don't want a relapse because I did to much to soon.
@mathewsfive So glad you found some swimsuits! I love swimsuits and have a ridiculous hoard of them. I love ordering from swimsuits for all! We have a hot tub so having lots of suites is a must.
I did a little online shopping this week and have some fun clothes and makeup coming soon! Not sure when I will get to wear them anywhere 😁 but hopefully right!
My kids are next door at grandma's for a sleepover tonight. My husband and I are planning a fun night in together. A costume dance party for two and probably a late night movie. Were going to make flatbread with goat cheese, peaches and bacon bits. Baked apple slices topped with sharp cheddar cheese and drizzled with maple syrup. We will have a veggie tray and strawberry Italian sodas. Should be fun and a good distraction!4 -

I am back on line after a day of ARRRRGH!!!!! and it looks to me like there are somehow 2 different team waistaways versions. I'll work on this with @AustinRuadhain and we'll figure it out, I hope!1 -
OK what a day. I am having my first kind of outburst of bad feelings from this whole situation. I got seriously angry over a recipe this morning (hello? anyone home in there????) and even after a 5 mile walk, I'm somewhat explosive. I thought I had this all under control (hahahahha) so I guess it was time for the bubble to burst a bit! Yesterday was the first day in ages I had a meet up with a friend. We took a 5 mile walk together, and talked - it was wonderful. So maybe that reminded me of the world out there, and today I'm feeling a bit pent up! In any case, I took another 5 mile walk today, and will get my equilibrium back I'm sure!
I am happy that @Beka3695 took the initiative this morning to make this week's challenge for all the teams to try to up our game and aim for 20 pounds lost as a team. We were the lowest team this week. We gained weight as a team. This is not a shame, but perhaps a learning opportunity. Even if we don't reach 20 pounds this week, let's try as individuals to add up to a loss, even if it isn't huge, ok? If we hit 20 pound, well, then we get to do some serious happy dances. We have done it before and can do it again! But if we don't, let's at least try to get higher than 60% of us in the green - losing small amounts at least.
Let's go, gang - hang in there!!!
For the Fitrockr thing - I finally have my own results actually appearing. It seems there are 2 teams, and we'll fix this! Stay tuned...2 -
There is no count in or count out, as far as I'm seeing things. Either we hit 20 pounds as a team or we don't - let's try this! So far we actually have 21 to lose. Go go go!

It still happened on my weigh in day, so it counts! I like this 20 lb goal. I'm still struggling with evening snacking.4 -
Sorry to be late posting.. I'll post tomorrow. The trend weight sheet I use is down @jugar.2

OK - all the people interested in the Fitrockr thing:
We need your name on Fitrockr (your full name that you register on there) so that Austin can send you an invitation within the Fitrockr to join the team. It seems the link is not working right, so this way will be certain. I know some of your full names but not everyone, so just post it here or send me a private message if you prefer. Those that we know Austin has already sent the invitation. If you haven't yet registered on Fitrockr, go ahead, and then let us know so we can send you the invite to join the team. Thanks!1 -
Hey there @conleywoods , @YinxFed and @evangsimmons170 -
We are not sure why the team setup process was bumpy and are working to figure that out.- Anyway, for all three of you, we sent you an invitation from within FitRockr.
- We think the system will now send you an invitation to accept.
- Once you accept the invitation, you should then be able to see yourself listed in the team, along with @jugar and @eggfreak !
(Right now, @jugar and I can see the three of you listed as potential team members, with status Invited).
For those of you that are interested and not yet on board,
1. Set up your profile at FitRockr.com
2. Try clicking this link to join the team: https://www.fitrockr.com:443/#!/join/league/5e892201753d2a0001a3eb31/1770f38a-8ecb-4b88-b171-5986174132ff
3. And if that doesn't work, @jugar is gathering names so we can send a direct invitation on FitRockr
Phew! Thanks much for your patience!

I got the invite in an email. When I clicked on "join team," nothing happened. However, when I logged into my account on FitRockr, there was a message that said I had been invited to join the team and asked me to click "accept" or "deny." Thanks for the invite; I accepted! I'm in! WOO HOO! Thanks for going the extra mile to get this up and running.
This is perfect timing too because I've got my workouts already planned for this week. Like I read on someone's t-shirt one time: Winning isn't everything.....it's the only thing! LOLOLOL3 -
I set up an account and connected to my Fitbit but the link to join still doesn’t work. I keep getting the same screen with “next” and nothing happens. I have no brain cells left for this today.2

I'll bet that it is not a bad thing to let loose ...to have it all under control at all times is maybe not realistic. My mother and I had a blow up a few days ago. Smoother again the next day. When routines are all messed up everyone has to readjust - some good things come out of it but, with that, some strain too. Hang in there. You are so supportive of everyone on this page, it is much appreciated. BTW, what was the recipe? so I can avoid itOK what a day.

Monday morning, sigh...starting off with my own frustration - lawn blowers down the street at 7 am clearing off an already clear lawn, a beautiful red fox searching for scraps from the suet feeder - the frustration being that it has the beginnings of mange (such a cruel parasite causing much misery), and dad's dementia taking a turn for the worse this week -maybe he's absorbing the negativity in the news/paper/lack of faces other than mum and I. We'll all get through. Boston expecting the worst these next 10 days.
Fitrockr seems all over the place (from what I see, stephanie is on both teams
) but I'm sure it will eventually sort out - it does seem like it could be a fun and easy challenge.
Have a great day all.

Had a weird weekend -very unsettled and strange, so decided to take today off.
1. I did a very exhausting Fitness Blender workout this morning - the first from the last week of an 8 week programme! I've never stuck to a workout programme for so long.
2. I'm going to "Marie Kondo" my drawers and continue tidying up my studio.
3. Thanks to Austin's email invitation, I'm now in the Fitrockr team.
4. A couple of hours ago, I got a WhatsApp video call from my son in Virginia, so the joy is mounting up today.
Lunch today was fried eggs and ham on toast and dinner is going to be roast chicken and egg fried rice. I just need to keep my water intake going.
Happy Monday friends!4 -
The fitrockr thing hates me. It doesn't work with my watch or my phone. So I think I have to opt out for now.
Managed to get into the work gym yesterday. It's pretty limited but I did a few squats and bench presses so I'll call it a win.
Feeling worse and worse, mentally. Getting groceries was like being in some kind of weird apocalyptic police state. Had a blood test on Saturday where everyone was wearing masks, gloves and body suits. It's just... awful. I felt bad for being there, like I'm not needing a blood test THAT badly.2 -
how do you all feel if a good portion of your carbs for the day come from fresh fruit?

In what respect? I love fruit so I'd be fine with it personally.
My fructose intolerance means that I'd be sick as heck though. 0 -
Did everyone notice how she calls this a day off? I'm seriously impressed, and really glad that good things are happening after a strange weekend.Had a weird weekend -very unsettled and strange, so decided to take today off.

Yikes! I'm having troubles with the fitrockr syncing with my phone too, but I'll keep trying to see if it will get better. I'll let you know if it does! And it is great you got to the gym, however limited, over the weekend. And please do not worry that you did not need or somehow deserve your blood test. Regular hospital things are happening besides the dreaded virus, and I am sure the people working with you, however suited, gloved, and masked, are glad to take care of non-virus tests and people's needs for their health. It is weird out there, but keep your chin up if you canThe fitrockr thing hates me. It doesn't work with my watch or my phone. So I think I have to opt out for now.

I get almost all my carbs from vegetables, but there are fruits in there too. I don't always get along with grains, so this works great for me.
Today is a special day up here on our hill. The frogs came up!! On my hubby's birthday! That has only happened once before in 30 years or more. They always surface on the first strongly sunny day after all the ice is off the pond. They float up out of the mud at the bottom and just hang there on the surface, warming themselves up in the sunshine. Once there are a few, they start swimming around to the new arrivals and bumping them. They all start doing this odd sound that only happens for the first few days that they are up - it is almost like quacking. It is a really cool sound, but they shut up and dive the instant we come anywhere near the pond. We have to stand stock still for quite a long time before they dare reappear, and for even longer before they'll start singing again. After a few days they are much less shy. It is always our favourite spring moment. Go little frogs go! These are the frogs that just mate, lay eggs, and then go off into the trees for the summer. I think that the spring peepers are among the wood frogs that come up this early. The full-time pond residents (leopard and bull frogs) come up later. OK enough frog talk!
I have been very inactive today. Gotta get something shaking, or @YinxFed and all the rest of you will be in my head telling me to get to it!!4 -

Good Stepping Ladies!!!3 -
I made it into the Fitrocker team thing. Yay! Hopefully, I can find it again tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing fine. Yesterday was not good for me at the end of the day. Too much news watching. Today was fine. Got in the garden a bit and also did Pilates first thing this morning. Its focus was on stress relief and the upper back and shoulders. It felt great. I need to get a few more steps to hit my goal for the day of 8,500. Still have a ways to go to get my house decluttered. Getting there. Hang in there y'all.
