Welcome Fat2Fit Challengers!

Here is your Team chat room for June 2020. This is where you weigh in every week, post your goals and progress, discuss any issues or topics of interest, share ideas, support your teammates, receive help when you need it, and dream big. Try to post every day, and help each other succeed!

We have six great teams. The group and team leaders are as follows:

HOW IT ALL WORKS:
Every challenger weighs in on their chosen day, every week without fail! At the end of each week, 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!

We also track those small, steady losses with the Green Week count. If you lose, however small an amount, it counts for 1 week in the green. The total will be by month, and cumulative - so you can really rack them up and get to your goal even if you never hit the top of the leader board.

If you need a week off, a break, a change of weigh-in day - just ask your Captain here on your team chat page. If you take a break, you are moved to the Support Team. If you miss two weigh-ins in a row without asking for a break, you will be dropped from the team, so be sure to ask if you are travelling, sick, or just needing some time off. You can remain on the Support Team for as long as you need to. You still participate in the discussions and weigh in if you want to, but your weigh-ins will not be counted on the weekly tally.

Once you reach your goal weight, you join the elite Goal Zone! After hitting your goal, you need support to stay there, and you can help your teammates join you. You must continue to weigh in every week, and if you have 2 weeks above your self-defined goal zone, you go back to the regular team to lose that amount before it builds up. You will have a chance to hone those maintenance skills and stick with your team!

In addition to your own team, there are F2F Full Group CHALLENGES. You can do all or none - it's up to you. Participating adds a lot to your success, so we hope to see you there often! These can involve anything fitness, health, or nutrition - and they’ll get you moving, thinking, and learning about this journey. Check the Announcements section for full group challenges.

Let’s show our fellow challengers some F2F love! Introduce yourselves right away, and let the new month begin!!

    Hello all! Hope you’re doing well!

    Sorry I have not been actively posting, I have just been crazy busy with work all day & helping my son with his schoolwork at night. I’ll try to be more active now that school is almost over.

    Got back on track this week, I’m very happy with my weigh-in, now to get back into my exercise routine. I have not exercised in a few weeks!

    Have a great weekend! We are heading out to spend the day with family, it’s beautiful out!😊🌸

    She's back! One of your members from last year is back for more - @Barbb1557 should be along any time now! I'm sure some of you remember her, and it will be good to have her back. And @Barbb1557 - please let us know your weigh-in day! Thanks!

    Sunday check in - food tracked and good.
    Water - 2 litres +
    Exercise - morning was 20 Spin bike, 30 Elliptical. Then this afternoon I threw together a circuit for fun, haven't done one in ages. I challenged my dodgy shoulder and nerves a bit, but did the circuit 3x, 45 seconds per station. Which is hard work! Bosu Punch Crunch, Shoulder Crushers, Hop Squats, Kettlebell Swing, Step ups, Russian Twists, Bulgarian Split Squats. 2 min rest between circuits. If you're a sucker for punishment, add burpees, mountain climbers and push-ups into it. (This amount of evil is why I miss being a personal trainer - but I am willing and did do the circuit myself! 🤣)

    I also decided to replace my spin bike, I use it so much and my one is honestly nowhere near as good as it should be for what it cost. It was either try and completely rebuild it which still won't fix the size of the frame, or get a new one. So I went shopping 😄 I can pick my new one up on Wednesday. The current one has had plenty of use though, and we'll keep it for the kids to use.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Sorry, in a rush today. We are leaving for a walk, then furniture, then barbecue. Had another really good day yesterday. No reason not to have another good one today. Have a good day everyone!

    @Barbb1557 Welcome back!! We missed you!
    @timibotkin Nice loss! You are going in the right direction! How awesome that you can plant all of that! I am sure it is a lot of work, hopefully you enjoy it too.
    @annliz23 Awesome steps this week! Great plan to increase your yoga and pilates in June and changing your calories. Sounds like you are setting yourself up for success!
    @GingerPwr I love your plan for June. I can't wait to see how you continue to progress, losing weight or not I am sure you will be toning all over.
    @melaniescott Welcome! I think you will like it here. Just jump right in with posting. I think you have a good plan for June.
    @kirsten11872 Nice loss!! Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather.
    @lenka1 I like that you are focusing on consistency rather than the scale. I actually think if you do that, the scale will be moving down anyway. Between breast feeding and having two little ones, I think your goals are realistic and also challenging.
    @xX_PhoenixRising_Xx What a workout! You just amaze me! How exciting that you are getting a new spin bike!
    @tryingagain5 I am so disgusted how things turned out. It was the same way here in Philly. That video of George Floyd was so disturbing, I think everyone was outraged. I don't think these peaceful protests needed to turn violent. Our protest was peaceful at first, and actually gave me chills. So many people of different races and ages gathered and knelt for 9 min to honor him. Then this...
    @ljdanny Nice steps!

    Hi all,

    Woot, that's an amazing amount to have lost over the month, and big congrats to our team winners <3

    So, I'm Shelli, 38 and live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I love the city, even though it's annoyingly busy right now with everyone not working and taking advantage of the gorgeous weather we're currently having. I've been working from home since the end-ish of March, which has brought it's own set of stresses but overall guess I'm lucky to still have a job. I live with my flatmate/best friend and my two kitties.

    Weight-wise I don't think I've ever been happy with it. Ironically, during lockdown we've been digging out a lot of old photos and now I would love to be the weight I was then, even though at the time I was convinced I was huge - guess I'm never happy! :D My highest weight was around 210lbs at the end of last year. Came on this site at the start of Feb and joined this amazing group in March. This is probably the longest I have ever consistently stuck to losing weight - previously I was queen of the 'crash diets' and the 'start on Monday, give up by weekend' cycle. I'm trying hard to completely change my eating habits - moving to more healthy options but while keeping it sustainable and making sure that nothing is 'banned' as I know this just makes me want it more lol. I'm also upping my exercise, though with the gyms closed here I'm on a lot of video workouts.

    @sleepymom5

    I agree. Violence and looting doesn't do anything but cause more problems. Being peaceful is possible.

    The news this morning showed people of all races working peacefully together to clean up the city. Some who were interviewed said they were at the protest for a couple of hours and had left before things got out of hand. The organizers of the original peaceful planned protest didn't want anything like this to happen.

    I know it didn't just happen here but has been happening everywhere. Senseless violence. So sad!🙁

    Wow! I felt that I was going to have a loss, but didn't expect 4lbs! I had things to tell you guys, but don't have a lot of time right now, just wanted to weigh in now and I'll be back later to chat! 😋🥰

    Cassie wandered over to the WaistAways! Here is the post in her home :smiley:

    Welcome new and returning members!! I always enjoy the beginning of the month reading everyone's intro's and goals for the month.

    I'm Nancy, originally from sunny California, relocated to Montana 8 years ago, married for 19 years and have 2 dogs...a pair of Brittany Spaniels named Gauge & Willow who are my exercise partners. My weight slowly crept on largely due to a long commute and desk job. I joined MFP January 2017 and F2F October 2017. Highest weight recorded on MFP was 220.5 I lost 50 pounds but have stalled out for sooooo long. Not sure about goal weight but would like to be in the range of 160 - 165. I'm 5'8". Lowest weight was 164 back in February but March and April were not good months for me. May wasn't much better, didn't lose my goal of 5 pounds, but did finish the month slightly less than I began and got into a routine of Intermittent Fasting.

    My husband works on long term construction projects that take him away from home for extended periods of time. He was just home for a couple of months last winter then left for a project in Pennsylvania at the end of January. Mid March I packed up preparing to drive out to spend 2 months with him in Pennsylvania when the virus hit. The project was shut down, everyone laid off and he’s been home with me ever since. Its actually (surprisingly) really great having him home. Since we moved to Montana, he's never been home this time of year as he's always working out of state so we're able to complete many honey do projects with the better weather. Because he works in the Oil & Gas industry its not likely he'll return to work as quickly as originally thought.

    We live on 45 acres so there's no shortage of opportunities to stay active. I exercise, especially hike, pretty much everyday. My downfall is food. I enjoy cooking and love eating! I struggle with portion control and and am disconnected from my hunger scale. I'm also a fast eater and fail at eating mindfully. Did I mention I’m also a confirmed plate cleaner and hate throwing away food. Gosh that's a lot of food related issues!!! LOL

    Goals for June. I second the others who mentioned consistency. I was very inconsistent in May
    Weight: Get back into the 160's and stay there.
    Food: IF 5 days/week. Eat more fruits/veggies crowding out the bad stuff. When my husband and I get busy with outside chores I tend to reach for quick, less than healthy, foods if I get overly tired at the end of the day so I want to get back into the habit of planning our meals and possibly prepping some items.

    Let's make June a successful month!

    Saturday check in
    Food - on target
    Water - 2l
    Exercise - 5 km walk
    Just checking in quickly as the introductions keep rolling in. I had a good day yesterday and was on target for everything. I did a ton of healthy baking as promised to the kids. I forgot to mention in my goals that I am working on my sleep, which has been all over the place during quarantine. I am targeting an earlier bedtime and earlier wake ups, 8 hrs each night. Big hugs to everyone and here’s to a healthy June!

    Welcome to our new members @dansip, @melaniedscott, and @Ademann!!! Please post an introduction when you are able!
    Welcome back @Barbb1557!! We missed you!!

    FYI re the new Goal Zone on our spreadsheet.
    This zone was created to help team members stay at goal once they reach it. You provide your goal weight as a start (I advise your current weight or the upper end of your goal zone if you have one), and you weigh in each week for accountability to stay in your goal zone. If you rise above your zone, you can rejoin the weight loss team to get back. There are a few of you who are close to goal, so this may be useful for you. Participation is optional, but we are hoping this helps you with maintenance. Right now we have @brown6267 at goal, so let us know if you want to try this out. This is completely new and we are trying to figure out what works, so your feedback is welcome!

    May Team Step Challenge
    If you have not already, please post your steps on this thread for the last week of May (May 24th to May 30th). I will post the Week 4 and Grand Finale winners tomorrow. To be considered for the Grand Finale, you must have provided your steps for all four weeks of the May Challenge (May 3rd to 30th).

    @melaniedscott Hello and welcome! I love my walks too, but when it's raining, I like to put on a Leslie Sansone video on You Tube - I got introduced to her by people in this group - the videos are easy and you stay in a good fat burn zone pretty much the whole time. Here's a link to her channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/walkathomemedia/videos

    @kirsten11872 and @twyla77 Great losses!

    @lenka1 You're doing great! Keep up that momentum through June!!!

    @Barbb1557 Welcome back!!!

    @Mrsbell8well That sounds like an amazing strategy! I know you'll see lots of improvement this month!

    Yesterday was great - ate clean throughout the day EXCEPT for having chips and cheese dip from one of our favorite restaurants now that it's open again. I was up a total of 2 pounds since last week's weigh-in, but It's cool because I feel completely in control and tomorrow starts a long two months of intense workouts.

    Did my fitness test today. Won't post numbers yet, because I'll post before and after pics and data when I'm done.

    Y'all, we're going to kill it in June!
