    Hi! I'm new on Team Yellow...I had my total intro typed all up to post and then it got eaten. :( I'm a SAHM from Southern California. I have 5 children. I will be posting my start weigh tomorrow, as I didn't weigh in this morning, so i'll be able to participate with the team this week! Yay! I'll have to post a better intro later this evening. I need to go and eat a quick dinner right now...

    Well, if it's any consolation, I'm down a whopping .2 lbs!, Yes, POINT 2. I'm not sure whether to attribute that to not eating a lot of my exercise calories or Jillian kicking my butt with 30DS. I've heard a lot of people say on here that the calorie counts are high in the MEP database...so I've been tending to stick on the lower end, with anything extra being "gravy", but I've also got my cals set to lose 2 lbs a week. I really don't know how the people on 1200 cals are losing anything... although, maybe I'm a little crazy with my activity amounts!
    Oh well.. more experimenting to be done!

    Cindy-- you in NO WAY let us down!! You did all the challenges, and that's awesome!! You're making a lifestyle change, and that's huge. Going up a couple pounds in a week is not going to stop you-- YOU"RE DOWN 35!!! Heck, , I considered stopping doing 30DS because everyone on there says you lose inches, but might not lose any lbs. Then, I gave my head a shake-- it's great to have the motivation of this group, but I'm not going to stop the progress I know my body is benefiting from for a number on the scale. Keep working towards your goals, and the weight loss WILL follow. All in time...
    Importantly too, you recognized that this was a bad week, and are back on track to carry on. Upward and onward!! I remember hearing once the analogy that if you dropped an egg on the floor, would you then throw the rest of the dozen down to keep it company? No, you would clean up that one, be a little more careful next time, and just get another one from the carton and forget about it. It's a new week! Or.. egg...

    I, for one, am VERY proud of you. ::flowerforyou:

    Hi Melissa! I'm Christian as well. It's great that you are training for a ministry! Will you be teaching the women of your church? Us Christian women are in such need of good Titus 2 mentors now that so many women work outside of the home. It's a beautiful calling. Of course, you know that you are a minister already, and every day you are on your mission field in your home, out and about, wherever you are. I've read this whole thread and I just love the way you proclaim God's love right off the bat for all to see. What a great way to live your life for him! <3

    Hi ladies, i'm not sure how to fill this out because I wasn't here for weeks 1, 2, and 3...


    Starting MFP 164.8
    Starting SAHMU 164.2
    Week 1 Weight n/a?
    Week 2 weight n/a
    Week 3 weight (wait, is this week 3?) so my starting weight goes here too?) 164.2
    Goal Weight 140

    I'm not sure what the purpose of the big thread with all the teams in it is...I get really lost init because it is so long and has a lot of people i'm not familiar with yet lol.

    Is there a certain time of day that we record our weight or just anytime on wed? I'm on the West Coast so I may be behind some of you timewise...

    I have mine set to 1200 cals too, and I think I may have to tweak it...I seriously don't think I could lose consistently on 1200 calls without rebounding terribly eventually...do we lose points for not staying under our cal goal or is the diet thing up to us and the exercise thing we all do together? I'm sorry for so many questions lol!

    Your weigh in thing looks fine to me! You could probably just leave out the Week 1 and 2 lines.. As long as YOU know what you're doing, that's all that really matters.

    The big general thread is certainly not a necessary thing-- if you want to interact with more moms that aren't on your team, share some joys/concerns/frustrations, whatever. There are some great women on the other teams too, so it's a chance to widen your circle. As Kari said on the other thread, as long as you keep posting here!

    Weigh in whenever you want on Wed-- I do it post-bathroom, pre-breakfast. Just make sure that you keep it consistant.

    As for the points, we only get points of completing the challenges laid out each week ( 1 point per challenge per person, if they're all done), plus a bonus if our whole team does it. Then for the weigh in, the "winning" team also gets extra points for that. There is nothing about staying under-- move your goals as you wish! And yeah, 1200 seems insanely low to me. I had mine at 1450, and just moved it back up to 1700 for how active I am! So yeah-- just find the post Steph posted with the challenge for this week, and you're good!

    Hope this helps!
