HOW IT ALL WORKS: March runs from February 27 - April 2nd! F2F months always start on a Sunday and end on a Saturday, so adjust your calendars!
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 celebrate those small, steady losses. If you lose, however small an amount, you are in the green! At the end of the month, we celebrate everyone who lost at least a bit every week. You are heading steadily towards your goal even if you aren't at the top of the weight loss leaderboard!
To make your weigh-in easy to find for your team Captains, please put it right at the top of a message, and use this format:

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 inform your team captain if you are traveling, sick, or just need some time off. If you take a break, you can be excused for a week or two, or are moved to the Support Team for longer. You can remain on the Support Team for as long as you need to. You still participate in the discussions, you can weigh in if you want to, but it will not count in the weekly tally.
Once you reach your goal weight, you join the Goal Zone! You continue to weigh in every week. 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 weekly 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 and year begin!!

2) Check-ins
Along with our weekly weigh-ins, we REALLY encourage our team members to participate in regular check-ins.

As I said above, my name is Teresa! I will be turning 56 in just a few short days. I live in Georgia with my incredible husband, my mom, and our fur baby Maggie Mae. I am the church secretary for my small church as well as their janitress. I also volunteer to teach with our children’s ministries, and I co-lead our women’s ministry.
I’ve been striving for a healthy weight for most of my life and am determined to never give up on my dream of getting to a healthy goal weight and staying there! I’m a huge fan of Marty Kendall of Optimising Nutrition and plan to follow his approach to eating by doing a high protein, low carb, and moderate fat diet. I also enjoy working out using Beachbody on Demand. My favorite workout programs are the ones that do a lot of weight-bearing exercises.

Week 1 Group Challenge for March is posted and ready to begin on Sunday, Feb. 27th. Hope to see you there, helping us celebrate our NSVs (Non-scale victories)!

Hi All,
My name is Ann. I am originally from Boston and now live near Sanford, NC. An artist, writer, and curator, my art has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally. An activist by nature, my work often responds to situations, both personal and public, with a special emphasis on the many cultural influences interacting throughout our world.
I’ve spent most of my life battling weight. I had COVID in February 2021 and it left me with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) in both hips and wrists. After refusing 2-3 years on a steroid treatment, I went to physical therapy, then a two month ‘Exercise as Medicine’ program and reduced my pain significantly. At my highest weight I was 217. Now, I’m at 178.8 and seem to have plateaued there.
I’m hoping this challenge, along with the American Cancer Society 40 Mile March (walk 40 miles in the month of March) for colorectal cancers will help me overcome this plateau.
I look forward to getting to know you all.
Thank you for providing this opportunity.
Ann F.

Hello Team Mission Slimpossibles!!
I am currently maintaining my goal weight of 130 (127-133 range) for nearly 3 years. From my top weight of 220 in 2001, it took me about a year to lose the weight. I've bounced up and down (like 20-30 pounds up/down) over the years but since 2019 I have been finally able to maintain in a really tight range.
I'm 65, I work full time as a bookkeeper in a plastics factory, I walk every day on my lunch hour and in the summer I commute to/from work on a bicycle (about 11 miles round trip for the shortest route). My daily tasks for the Fat2Fit March challenge are- Track Food & Stay in Range (1450-1600 calories)
- Walk an average of 5.5+ miles/day for my Walk The Year goal of 2022 miles this year
- Do 5+ virtual miles every day on the stationary bike (until I can ride outside on the REAL bike)
- Eat 5+ servings of freggies
- Stretch for at least 10 min

Hi everyone, my name is Laurel. I am 64 years old and live in Alberta. I am a mom of 5: 4 adult kids, one fur baby who is super active and helps me get in my daily steps and I have two amazing grand kiddos ♥️.
I have been on a weight loss journey for what feels like forever! In the last 12 months I have lost 26 lbs and I have about 5 pounds to lose, to get to goal weight. Really hoping to get this last bit off in the month of March!
Throughout this journey I have discovered that I absolutely love working out at the gym, spin classes are my favourite but I do get in a couple of weight classes a week too! I typically work out at the gym four days a week, the other days I try to maintain at least 10,000 steps and with my little pup that usually isn’t an issue lol.1 -
@digger61 Congrats on the loss!
@tammymccrady6278 I hate when the scale does not reflect my hard work. I feel cheated. Just keep doing what you are doing and I bet next week you will have a great loss. Hugs.
@kkay2345 Welcome to the team!
@laurelfit57 Yes! And yes to first thing in the morning...no excuses that way. Yeah, I stop at about 3:30-4:00 but still am up all night running to the bathroom lol. Oh gosh, do you think you should go to the doctor? Head injuries are nothing to mess with. I'm sorry that happened.
@bgame4 I'm glad you had a nice low-key day. My Sunday is going to be like that, I hope. Nice work on your goals!
@FushiaKat Great job with the goals! Yes, I find the Zero-Sugar PB cups either at Walmart in small bags or I just bought a 2 lb bag on Amazon which made it cheaper. You don't get many in the Walmart bags. They are really good and you can't tell they are sugar-free, which kind of makes them dangerous lol.
@annflaherty1 Hi Ann. I'm an artist, too, although my work has just been exhibited in Southern California. I would love to see your work, do you have a website? I'm glad you found something to reduce your pain.
@MOUNNTAINMERMAIDCO Congrats on the loss!
@micaroo4 Those are great goals. Way to maintain your loss!
@19shmoo69 Congrats on the loss!
Hello Slims! I am one of your Team Motivators along with the lovely @Katmary71. I live in Southern California along with my husband and pampered pug. I am on WW and track my food via that app but love to come here and visit with the MFP community. I am in my early 50s but have not been overweight all of my life. I gained weight in my mid-20s and have had a hard time getting it off, mostly due to my poor choices but I'm working on that. In my spare time (the little I have lol), I like to make art, do photography, read, and hang out with friends. I look forward to interacting with all of you.
My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Exercise 3 days a week - No
2) Drink 50 oz of water a day - 25 oz drank

Hello, fellow "Slimpossibles"!
My name is Carole. I grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts and have worked mostly in Boston but now I'm back in Cambridge less than a mile from where I grew up! I am currently working for Mass General Brigham Corporate after looking for a job for over 21 months. My 64th birthday will be August 18, 2022. I live in an apartment in the metro Boston area with my 15 year old female tabby cat, "Mimichou". I have one son who is 38 years old and married (living in Cambridge).
My all-time highest weigh-in was February 29, 2008 at 217 lbs. I have lost and gained literally hundreds of pounds since then (more in my profile), but now I am feeling highly focused and positive. I believe that Fat2Fit and Mission Slimpossibles will be a great fit for me! Stronger TOGETHER!
I am so grateful to share this journey with you!
Have a great week!

@laurelfit57 - Oh no! The aftereffects of your fall sound painful. Hope you are better today.
@TeresaW1020 - maybe re-post the 30 day challenge we are doing in case any new members want to join us?
I'm Lisa, in my 50s, live in NE FL with my husband. Our two kids are away at college. We also have a fur baby, a little poodly guy name Mojo who has been in poor health since Jan. I've been up and down with weight since the freshman 15 and losing at this age has been the most challenging ever. I've been part of this group for well over a year and I could not do without the support and encouragement! My favorite exercise right now is step aerobics. I like to read and enjoy nature.
Welcome all new members- looking forward to you being here!!!
Spring challenge is going OK. Attitude is good. Level of snacking a bit too high, level of veggies a bit too low over the weekend, but not anything too crazy bad. I'm very proud that I have not gone off the rails with eating and exercise due to the stressy situation with the dog. He is doing OK still. A friend told me "he's just not ready to go yet". I think she's right. I didn't expect him to fight this hard. It's impressive.
Happy Sunday!

Hi Team,
My name is Kathryn I go by Kat for short. I've been overweight since puberty. It's been a struggle, I did reach my goal weight of 145 11 years ago, then I got sick and gained 100 pounds, my highest weight was 245. I have not been able to maintain any weight loss and I'm learning how to do that using MFP. I love counting calories. I've been married 32 years and I just turned 62. We have 7 Rescue Cats that are a handful to take care of. I am Chronically ill with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and the occasional migraine and brain fog thrown in for good measure, I'm doing my best to lose weight with what little exercise and movement I can do.
Since joining MFP last August I've lost 47.3 pounds. I love being on this team, the support and suggestions are awesome. I feel blessed to be here.
I'm posting yesterday's Spring Challenge and last week's weigh in so it's easier for me to keep up.
My Spring Challenge commitment is: (Yesterday's Update)
1) Read for 30 minutes a day or use my Scroll Saw = I read All Creatures Great and Small today and I used my Scroll saw for a little while too
2) Move at least 30 minutes a day or walk 3000 steps. 3650 steps today so far.
3) Weigh everyday - 170.7

Super happy with this after eating out 5 days last week! At best I was hoping I would stay the same, but I really thought I would’ve gained a pound last week.1 -
@micaroo4 I am excited to hear that you have reached and maintained your goal weight for three years! I am about the same age as you and am only about 5 lbs away from my goal weight. I was very interested to read your info as I have been yo-yo dieting most of my adult life and I have no idea what maintaining looks like. May I ask, did you figure out your daily calorie intake or was it suggested through MFP?
@cornanda my hat is off to you for doing step aerobics! I am so uncoordinated and offbeat, half the time I feel like I am going to fall off the step even though I have it on the lowest level🤣. Your little Mojo sounds like such a strong little fellow, but these little poodle types are definitely determined♥️.
Can I just say how much I love Sundays! I don’t get out of bed until about 8 o’clock, I am having a super chill day this Sunday so I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I used my foam roller for about an hour this morning and it really made a difference, I think I will do it again before I go to bed tonight.
On Sundays, it is not a free-for-all day, I do try to stay within my calories, but I definitely eat more carbs than I do the rest of the week. I have figured out that for me cutting back on carbs is essential for weight loss. I typically have a bowl of oatmeal every morning, except Sundays. I had a couple of my lovely egg Muffins with toast then for lunch I had a Greek pita with tzatziki and fresh veggies.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!!0 -
@laurelfit57 I love Sundays too and yours sounds very lovely! Today is cold and rainy and I’m hoping spring returns soon!
Hi Team! Today was a good day. Church was wonderful, which is always a good way to start a new week. Hubby and I went on the hunt for a new quilt for our bed. I had bought one at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and then decided I hated it. So we took that one back and went to Khols and TJ Maxx. I found one, bought it, and now I hate it.
It will go back tomorrow. I think I found the perfect one on Amazon, but I’m not holding my breath! It will be here on Tuesday, so stay tuned! 
The scale was up this morning and I’m doubtful it will be down much by weigh-in day tomorrow. I gotta get a grip! but next week is my birthday and my mom is taking me out to Jason's Deli and hubby has some sort of surprise that could involve cake. Oh and I'm having lunch with one of my friends next Friday. This really means I just need to buckle down on the other days and do some extra good workouts.
30 Day Spring Challenge
Day 10: 191.4 Ugghhhh enchilada chicken chili and cornbread did me in! I had no sugar or snacks, and my workout was walking in and out of stores.2022 Word: INTENTIONAL

@micaroo4 that is awesome that you have got to your goal aNd maintained it. That is my dream.
@laurelfit57 great job on the los😉
@FushiaKat awesome loss this week!
@laurelfit57 oh my I hope you feel better after that fall. Winter sucks that way. I have fell myself this year with the ice.
Well guys I can’t believe it’s the end of February already. Crazy how fast life seems to be moving sometimes. My Sunday is just starting as I’m nights on the weekend. So all I have managed to do is get up have my coffee and read all the posts. I do plan to get my steps in at work. And meet all my spring challenge goals.
Last night at work I ended up walking up and down the work driveway to get my 6000 steps in lol.
So alittle about me. Well I’m Tammy and I’m 54. I am a Personal Support Worker and have worked privately for over 5 years for the owner of Burnbrae Farms which is the largest egg producer in Canada. I love my job and have worked in several areas of healthcare. My favourite being hospital. I worked on the stroke unit and found it truly inspiring.
I’m married to a wonderful man who is a chef and have 2 pups and a kitty. I have 2 children and 2 grandkids. Anyway I had better go get my day started so chat later.1 -
There was not much time for relaxation, I was helping hub with a project most of the day. I did get in some housework. Hub surprised me with a box of Bath Bombs he was going to give me on my birthday but forgot about them. I'm having some anxiety today; hot flashes give me bad anxiety and I've been having a few of those lately maybe that's the reason why. I'm feeling a bit off, I need to find my happy positive self again.
My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Read for 30 minutes a day or use my Scroll Saw = I used my Scroll Saw today.
2) Move at least 30 minutes a day or walk 3000 steps. 2900 steps today so far. I will make 3000 before bedtime.
3) Weigh everyday - 169.5
@TeresaW1020 it can be hard to find a suitable bedspread, there are so many to choose from. I hope you like the one arriving on Tuesday.
@laurelfit57 Sleeping in is the best. I'm glad you're having a really fun Sunday. Congrats on the loss too and coming in second last week, and third overall for last month. Well done!
@Cornanda Your pup loves you and wants to be with you for as long as possible. Your friend is right, he's not ready to leave you just yet. I'm glad you're not too far off tack, with all the stress you are under it would be easy to just throw up your hands and give in.
@MOUNTAINMERMAIDCO and @walela617 Welcome to the team.

Hi everyone, I'm Kathy and I'm 50 and live in the Sacramento area in California area with my two cats. I'm a team motivator along with the awesome @trooworld and have been part of this team for 3 years now, woot woot! I'm lucky I found it early on after I started back on MFP. I have multiple physical issues like CRPS, diabetes, failed back surgery syndrome, I'm a host of depressing ailments so let's just say I'm doing my best to be as able-bodied as I possibly can be as I don't want to use a wheelchair for more than being at an airport. I'm about 10lbs from goal, I hit it a few years ago after losing 100lbs then when my CRPS relapsed I was on steroids for a year, luckily I'm down 20lbs from the highest I hit after that. I love to garden, read, watch movies and binge series, spend time with my cats, and have family nearby so I'm often with them and going to my nephew's events. I volunteer for a local organization then help at the food bank farm. I do chair cardio, stretching, and weight-lifting most days then with the recent challenge I'm doing chakra meditations at night and avoiding Diet Pepsi.
Let's have an amazing March gang!0 -

Congrats to the whole team for getting 3rd place on the leaderboard! You should all be very proud of yourselves. A special congrats goes to @Mom24_2021, @FushiaKat, @laurelfit57, and @gwamajtw91 for getting on the leaderboard! Well done!
@walela617 Welcome to the team, Carole! Congrats on your loss, too! I would love to see a picture of Mimichou.
@Cornanda I'm glad everything is going okay and that your pup is hanging in there. Yay for not going off the rails when you are in such a stressful situation!
@FushiaKat You are doing awesome, congrats on your goal progress and your weight loss this week!
@MOUNTAINMERMAIDCO What an interesting company. I would love to see Max. All things are indeed possible!
@laurelfit57 Congrats on the loss! This is impressive especially because you ate out so much. I love Sundays, too.
@TeresaW1020 LOL it's hard to pick the right comforter sometimes. I hope you like the one from Amazon!
@tammymccrady6278 That's great that you walked up and down your work drive to get your steps in. Way to stay committed!
@annflaherty1 You have to click on the Slimpossibles tab at the bottom of the tracker, it's the second one over.
Hi all. I had a great day yesterday: I actually initiated exercise! I asked my husband to go for a walk with the dog and so we went. It was a slow-paced walk because the dog kept stopping to sniff things. Afterward, my husband asked what I wanted for breakfast and I made a healthier choice by saying fruit salads. I also drank a lot of water because I donated blood yesterday. Yay!
My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Exercise 3 days a week - Yes
2) Drink 50 oz of water a day - 75 oz drank

@trooworld Thank you. I guess I wasn’t scrolling down far enough. All set. 🌞1

@annflaherty1 - good for you refusing those steroids. My MIL had that condition and the long term steroids did a number on her.
@MOUNTAINMERMAIDCO - your enthusiasm is inspiring! Your business sounds very interesting. Go you! If you have a step at home, check out C Dorner Fitness on YouTube. I love her workouts!
@micaroo4 - I am also very impressed with your maintenance and the amount of exercise you fit into your daily life. I like your term "freggies". I would love to hear any tips you may have.
Congrats leaderboard Peeps!
@walela617 - wow, looking for a job for 21 months must have been painful. We visited Boston and Cambridge several years ago and loved it. Welcome!
@laurelfit57 - That sounds like an awesome Sunday and hooray for losing this week with all the eating out! Perhaps your body was a bit confused by the change in routine? Whatever it was- hooray! How interesting that it's the poodle in him that causes the "determination" (ie- stubborn
) I wasn't sure if it came from whatever type of dog he is mixed with. I trip and fall off my step all the time. So far, no injuries. Are you still doing those bungie workouts? I keep thinking about trying that.
@TeresaW1020 - Oh boy, let us know what happens with the quilt. You are working hard not to go off the rails, just like me. Keep it up!
@tammymccrady6278 - good work sneaking in the exercise. Hope your night went well.
@FushiaKat - maybe throw one of those bath bombs in the tub and have a soak to help with the anxiety?
@Katmary71 - Yes! Let's have an amazing March!
@Glombog - Keep that roll going!
@trooworld - Yay You! for initiating exercise and fruit for breakfast!
I'm on track with my Spring challenge goals. Had a very reasonable weekend- even our dinner out was healthy. Hoping for good results this week!
Happy Monday!

Im very happy, i survived a week visiting my mother and being force fed!! I gained 8.5lb from eating carbs but managed to take it all back off in 5 days 🥳🥳3 -
@TeresaW1020 I am with you, I cannot wait for spring!! It sounds like you had an absolutely lovely Sunday as well :-). Ha ha it sounds like you are going to have a week of eating out coming up, enjoy!
@tammymccrady6278 Time does go by in the blink of an eye for sure! LOL love how you got your steps in yesterday, it is amazing what we do sometimes :-) :-).
@Fushiakat I remember my first hot flash. I was sitting in an easy chair relaxing and reading a book. All of a sudden I started to get very hot and I remember thinking, I had no idea we had a heat register in the ceiling of the living room, I looked up, there was no heat register, I was so confused🤣🤣🤣
@trooworld yay you initiating exercise! Sounds like you had an absolutely lovely Sunday!! Can I just say, that fruit salad looks delicious!
@Cornanda my little Vannie has a little poodle in her as well, makes her very determined LOL. When my daughter was a teenager, she was doing something or other and I remember saying to her, “oh quit being so stubborn”, to which she replied “I am not stubborn I am determined!” Her and I definitely share that trait😅.
I’m not doing the bungee workouts anymore, they were too hard on my upper traps.
Good for you for staying on course this weekend!
Looking back over my food and exercise diary in MFP, I did get an extra 500 to 900 exercise points per day last week so that was probably helpful in the loss last week. Every time I ate out, I did try to stay within my calories for the day, definitely not the macros though:).
I was pretty excited I was able to do spin class today, definitely not with the intensity I usually do, but I was able to do it. I don’t think I will be able to do the weight training class tomorrow. I do have a doctors appointment booked for tomorrow afternoon, then for Physio first thing Wednesday morning. The pain is really weird, it keeps moving. This morning it was my right lat that was super tight. I had to take Tylenol and Voltaren to get things to settle down.2 -
Yayyy to our team for getting third place!! And a big shoutout to @Mom24_2021, @FushiaKat, @laurelfit57, and @gwamajtw91 You all rock!
@trooworld good for you for getting you and the family to go for a walk. That did you all good. And that fruit salad looks very tasty. I LOVE coconut!
@Cornanda Good job on staying on track with the Spring challenge!
@fatfifties YES to surviving a loving, force-feeding mother and getting the weight back off. You did it exactly right!
@laurelfit57 I hope the physio can help with your pain issues. I have never done a spin class. From what I know of them they always seem really intense. Yes, too much eating coming up. I even forgot to mention that this Sunday is the church’s monthly potluck. It bring your favorite appetizer and you know no one is going to bring anything healthy. Well, there is this one lady that is famous for her bowl of grapes at every potluck. But who is really eating the grapes? Not me!
Hi Team! Today was we are back to spring weather, which is so nice. In our city, we have what we call the Loop, which is a highway that circles the city. At every off-ramp, there are hundreds of daffodils that have been planted over the last few years. So going out at this time of year always makes me happy when I get to see those lovely yellow bits of sunshine along the roads. This morning I did my leg workout and then went to Hobby Lobby and Walmart. Back home to do a bit of cleaning and laundry. I made a pizza casserole with Italian frozen meatballs for dinner. Very tasty but it will surely make the scale go up.
30 Day Spring Challenge
