@JustRamona the start date is in this group's description, October 7. However, invitations to the team will be sent out the last week of September and Practice Week will begin September 30th. We like to have members on the team a week before we begin to get everyone settled and ready to go.

Hello all - I need to get some good mileage logged today. It's going to rain all day here in London UK so I think I'll have to hit my elliptical rather than the pavement! I'll do small bursts every hour.
I've been building my activity up gently but the real work is yet to come. With me in the past I've been slow to get in to the exercise habit but once I do I really look forward to it.
I can't wait to find out which team I'm in - sounds like I won't have long now. I've given MFP a few tries now over the year but I've always tried to go-it-alone - that doesn't seem to work for me & I'm so glad to be part of this community.
Thank you @Tabatha_Cain and @Dianedoessmiles1 for the encouragement - it's nice to see the chats springing to life. I did a mid-week WI and a few more pounds have come off so that's 5lbs in total now. So that I don't miss the deadline I'm going to make Thursday my official WI day so I'll officially log my weight tomorrow
I hope everyone has a lovely day.
It's going to be so good to ditch this excess baggage - it is definitely not wanted on-voyage.0 -
@cmfarrell36 Happy Birthday Christine , have a good day0

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a good day. My co-worker is out today due to medical appointments today so it will be me alone upfront. Which is not really a bad thing. I do have some more travel to book today so we will see how that goes and how much the agents have to help me today.
@EmPea888 - The elliptical is my enemy. That thing works so many muscles. It makes me hurt just thinking about it. Right now I can withstand about 5 minutes on that machine. Than I give up as my legs are butter at that point. Way to go on the weight check. I love exercise too. Once I get into a groove I am good. It is getting to that groove that is the problem.
Well I hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday.

@Tabatha_Cain - I'm with you on both counts. I'm really going to have to build up on the elliptical slowly and for a few minutes at a time. The old body rebounds quite quickly though so it's worth that initial creaky pain - I have got to oil those joints and motion is lotion. Ditto for other kinds of exercise. My body loves it but from where I'm sitting now this seems like an impossible task - that's just my mind's trick though - this is all very doable!

@EmPea888, Have you all been getting a lot more rain this year than normal? I live in Maine (on the Atlantic Ocean, the furthest state up next to Canada) and we are way over our limit. Please stay safe. I love love love the 5%!! I've gone from 288 lbs down to 170! All because of the support here. We had been on Sparkpeople (a free diet site) until 2 years ago when it suddenly closed. We searched and searched various sites and agreed MFP was the BEST Place for us to land!! We've been active here now for 2 years. GREAT JOB on the weight loss!! WOW!! FANTASTIC!!! Next Weds (Most likely) we will start to invite members to the team. Those on any team will be put on the team that needs the support the most. They will LOVE YOU so much whichever team you end up on. Come the Winter Challenge you'll have team choice if you'd like a different team, or you may be put on a team that you love right off. It's so much fun!! I am on and off this chat since I also help on the chat on the team I am on (During the break~ the challenge runs 8 weeks~ we combine 2 teams together for added fun! If one wishes to remain accountable year round, we can!! AND I DO!!) is always a crazy chat!! I read the posts here, but do not respond to them all. There's not enough time. LOL though its fun!
@Tabatha_Cain, did you sleep much? YO! You were up early as I was hehehehe just going to bed!! It was a LATE NIGHT for me!2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 hey Diane - well I think we had all the rain last night but not for very long thank heavens. I'm in the UK so I'm no stranger to rainy days - but these days I do tend to wait for a break in the weather to have a walk. As Mark Twain said about England: if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
I used to be on SparkPeople and I really loved it. It was a shame it closed but I guess the money went elsewhere. It's amazing what a snappy brand name can do and MFP came out on top. SparkPeople felt more social - so it's good to have this Challenge and the upcoming Teams as a focus.1 -

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday. I have my ultrasound today. So we will see what is going on. I should have the answers in a day or 2. I am able to see the results sooner than my doctor because I have a patient portal for the hospital and they will post the results there as soon as they come in as well as notify my doctor that they are in. So I can look while my doctor is still reviewing the notes and stuff. So I am hoping to know maybe even yet tonight since I am getting it done in the morning. I really hope that is the case.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes I did get plenty of sleep. My husband and I were wore out from the day and went to bed at 8:30. He has a small bladder so he had to get up to pee and then could not get back to bed. But we did get plenty of sleep.
@EmPea888 - We are a social group. I love to chat and respond to people. So of us actually meet up and do stuff. I have not been able to yet but some of us that learn we live close to others do meet up in real life. I would love to be able to meet @Dianedoessmiles1. If I remember right she is the one who got me started on my journey with 5% challenge with Spark People. Which I first started in Spark People way back in 2019. I live in Michigan and she lives in Maine so it is kinda hard to do. Maybe though we could do that at some time.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and it is going to be a great day. I opted to take extra hours for tomorrow at work. The only downside is that I have to drive an hour and a half away to the event we are doing. I am a little scared to do this event. It is a massive Auto Expo or Car Show. Well I just found out yesterday that all 3 of the big car manufacturers are on strike in the city I am going to. So I am a little scared to be at a Car Show since the employees that are striking are telling everyone not to go to it. So I am not sure if we are in danger like picketers or if we are going to be ok but with low attendance. I guess I will have to find out. I mean I am only there for insurance, membership, and travel so I really don't care about the car show. It does worry me a little bit though. I messaged the people in charge of the event my concerns. I have yet to get an email in response. So we will see if they do answer and what they say. I still think I am going to go.
Well I hope you all have a great Friday.

Started off the day supporting hubby as he rain a 5K in the next town. Fortunately, it only misted; no real rain. That is happening now after 5 hours.
Grabbed some groceries and now going to sit down and watch TV for a bit. Cooking and planning for the week later on.
Have a great day!1 -
A good day today got a 3 mile walk in and did some yoga, also got my weekly shopping sorted and meals fir the week organised.1

Good afternoon happy and Blessed Sunday. Not to much new here, still very warm out. I feel good because I have exceeded some of my goals I set for Sept. To walk 60,000 steps, did 79,704 steps. On stridekick did a walk around Tokyo, goal 30 miles, to date completed did 32.3 and passed all 6 milestones and 12 out of 20 days did 3000 + steps. Feeling good. Wishing you all a great week.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is going to be a great day. I really enjoyed the Auto Expo I worked over the weekend and I am looking forward to getting with my leads to do some business and get some memberships set up. I really like that I was able to get my business card out there and see about helping people with travel. I am really excited about all that stuff. I still need 6 more memberships to get my through the month. Plus I need to get 1 credit card still this month.
@Lopeyp - That is great that your hubby ran a 5k. I love running 5k's. I have done 2 so far.
@annliz23 - Way to go. I also did my weekly shop. I planned my meals for the week. Husband and I will take turns cooking this week.
@Kurtize - That is great that you exceeded your goals. I need to set goals for the week and try to get them completed each week. I think we are going to do that.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

Whew a busy day running mu grandson to school sorting out my mums funeral service, walked the dogs 3 miles and cooked tea.
A productive day.
Have a great day everyone5 -
Hey all - I had a good long walk today and did some restorative yoga afterwards (which is just glorified lying down really but does help me let go of all the tension I hold on to). 13K steps - and about the same yesterday. Woo hoo. Also I got a new haircut today. I'm not completely sure she did such a great job but it's definitely nice to be rid of all the split ends.

Hey all!
Been a while since I checked in. Having a pain flare this week. Too much rain and too much sugar. Going to meet with a dietitian tomorrow to talk about how diet can affect my chronic pain and fatigue.
@Kurtize wow that’s a lot of steps you’ve walked!2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and things are going well. I did get my extra hours for Saturday entered into the pay system as well as getting my mileage submitted as well. That is awesome and I am grateful for the opportunity. I love it. They do really well at reimbursing you for your travels. Plus according to my Assistant Leader once the mileage gets approved it is added pretty quickly to your bank account. So it is great. That will help a lot this week.
@annliz23 - I am glad you had a productive day yesterday.
@EmPea888 - It is nice getting a haircut sometimes just to get rid of the split ends. I am sure the haircut looks great.
@missionalman - I hope you are able to get some answers from the dietician. It would be nice to know some of those things as well.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

Hi all, I'm a newbie here. Here in AZ it's still comparatively cool but will be nice and hot later. Got the garden watered this morning, harvested two purple long beans. they were maybe 18 inches long? Nice to chop up, it's like a stringless string bean. So much less work. I like to grow strange vegetables that look like they grew on another planet! Have a volunteer pumpkin vine that has two female flowers, I'm anxiously hoping I will be able to pollinate them when they open. Strawberries are coming back after the heat of the summer. Tomatoes are coming back. Basil, mint, and African huckleberry are happy. Potatoes are perky. In a word, the fall growing season has begun! I have a tiny city lot and do it all in in buckets and raised beds.
Well, my fluffy calico wants all the attention right now - trying to block me from typing. Her brother is sitting on my spouse. Plan for today: Black coffee with cinnamon first, lunch at 11, dinner done by 7. No snacking outside of that. I am going to try to do 20 minutes of upper body strength training in between office tasks since I work from home. I should do more but since this is day 9 of really being serious about my fitness again, it'll be a start.2
