Hello, everyone! New and returnees
My name is Amber and I’m 29 years old. I live in Michigan. Weight and food has been my struggle for my whole life. But I noticed when i stick to this group and MFP, it helps me stay in control. I am one of those mindless eaters when I don’t track.
I’ve lost 7.8 pounds for February so I’m ready to take on March! Let’s do this guys
I will also be continuing the water challenge for this month as well!9 -
Hey everyone! My name is Ann and I'm 59. Post-menopause is not a joke, muscle mass and metabolism shrinking, joints starting to feel the effects and more. But I am determined to go into my wise woman years with joy and abundant health and well being! This group keeps me motivated and accountable and I am grateful to all of you.
I had a bit of a setback last month, ending up a pound more than it started, but today starts a brand new month!

Had some challenges to get my weight back to even. I ate too much at the beginning of last week. I did start to hit a little more of Cardio/peak target by running. Plan on doubling my Cardio/peak this week. One of my work team mates suggested that I get a biggest loser challenge going at work. I found a site called better together that I may use. Peace6 -
Hi, I'm Sandra and live in Richmond, Va. My husband and I are empty nesters (two grown daughters), but we got a puppy back in Nov. She is a border collie, so has been keeping me active. I am trying to lose the weight I've been steadily gaining since probably my 40s. I've learned a lot of tips and appreciate the great support of this group. Daily food tracking is essential for me.
My plan is to keep protein at least 25% of daily intake, throughout the day, and run/walk 3-5 miles a day with my pup.
Good luck everyone! Let's have a great March!

Hoping to get back to the accountability challenge now. I haven’t been able to work out in over three weeks cause of my back issues. Threw it out shoveling snow in early February. Then I had the covid situation which caused me to quarantine from my wife for a week. Sleeping on a couch for a week when my back already hurt REALLY messed my back up.
Good news: I have been feeling better for a few days now and was even able to kick my butt at the gym yesterday.6 -

Starting off the new month by joining a virtual Camino de Santiago walk -the real one is something I've wanted to do forever so this will inspire me more!
Yesterday was a good day overall, and we got some home projects done plus a couple shorter walks to keep my knees happy. (bursitis/tendonitis/arthritis showing up) I'm doing the virtual walk because this is my second fail at c25k where knee pain develops after just a couple of runs. Walking seems to be fine. Getting old seems to suck a bit.
@brandi_84 you will be missed - thanks for taking such good care of us! I am happy to take over the spreadsheet for steps and water if that helps - just let me know and I'll make the post for signups and start a new sheet for this week!

@annabananamc You'll need to ask @cmhubbard92 about the water and step spreadsheet. She put that together.
You should post the MUAC information on here. You can find it on the first page of February's TBBT thread. You can copy and paste it if you would like. Just change out the starting date each month.
Thank you for stepping up to be co captain.

@cmhubbard92 - I made a new worksheet for this week in the Water Challenge spreadsheet. please let me know if you'd also like me to copy the post from last month and manage this, or how else I can help!

Thanks for asking! I signed up here https://caminoforgood.com/ I paid for the March to Santiago option, and the money goes to help fund the folks who have little hostels along the real route - who have lost their income in the pandemic. There is a FB community as well, if you like that sort of thing. You log your miles in the app, and unlock information (video, audio, pics and text) about the stops along the way as you 'reach' them.
For me, the focus is on distance and consistency rather than speed, which is what I need right now. And someday I hope to do the real one!

Hello all!
My name is Sue, and I am 60 years old. I live in southern Maryland, am married, have two grown kids (1 in Seattle, 1 in VA), 1 grandbaby (VA) and 1 fur baby. I work full time (still teleworking after 12 months) and I love to read, ride my bike, quilt, and make greeting cards.
I joined MFP in 2012 but only discovered the challenges last year. I love challenges and am usually involved in multiple reading, fitness and Fitbit challenges at any given time. They were a great distraction in the early days of COVID lockdowns and are a great way to add variety to my diet and exercise program. I am still teleworking, my gym never reopened and I haven't even gotten a haircut in 14 months. I love coming here to chat with my fellow TBBT teammates to make up for all of the human interaction that I'm missing.
Looking forward to a great month and the coming of Spring. 1 -

Good afternoon! Sorry for my belated entrance into the March thread! I hope you all are off to a good start to the month!
My name is Christine, and I am the captain of TBBT! I slacked off in the month of February, and I extend my deepest apologies for that! With our recent wedding, a little time off of work and then getting back into things, I've been a little frazzled!
I'm 28, living in Connecticut, married with three fur babies. I've been a part of TBBT since February 2019, and have been on my weight loss journey since November 2018. I started at 246 and ended February at 161.5 just shy of a 85 pound loss.

So happy to see you here and that married life is suiting you so well! For the MUAC, I added the first week of March to the spreadsheet, kept Week 4 Feb, and 'hid' the other sheets (they aren't deleted) to make it easier to find the right place.
Let me know how else I can help!
