I work in IT support in a call centre so i dont get to do much exercise there, myself and a friend try to get out each lunch time for a quick stroll.

I'm the friend!! and even though she's on an opposing team (Go team Body Rock!) I'll still be rooting for her!! Go Vicky!! Good luck everyone!

Don't forget to let me know whether you logged and were under each day, and if you did the daily challenges. Remember we get ONE point for each pound you lose as individuals for the week. One point for each of us that complete the daily fitness challenges. One point for each of us that log under and drink 64+ ounces. (I am waiting on an answer to whether we get a point per day for the last 2 or if it a point per week of doing it every day) We get FIVE points for ALL of us logging under daily and drinking 64+ ounces water daily for the week. We get FIVE points for ALL of us doing ALL the daily fitness challenges.


I plan on posting an excel chart of how we do each week (as long as I can figure out how to get it on here!) :huh: if you would prefer your info not be listed publicly I will just put *** next to your name, if you don't see anything next to your name, then I don't have your info! :indifferent: I have to message Gary weekly with our point totals.

Have a blessed Sunday!!!

With Friendship and Warmth from Missouri!

I just wanted to say thank you to all those that shared their stories, their struggles and what will motivate them on this journey ahead. CShore, you may be the oldest (declared) but I'm not far behind! You are also my inspiration for the month of August. I was just thinking of you with having a cast and a million reasons to say "not this month, I'll take a pass." You seem to have a quiet inner strength, so thank you for passing a bit of that to me as well as our team goes through our daily walk plus these "add on challenges." I may need it!
Good week, everyone!

I am SO excited to see what is gonna happen with our team this month!!!! And it's already started!!! Jumping jacks! Water! Calorie goals! Photos taken! Woooo~whooooo!!!!!

wilsonshome

Sonia, I messaged you the stats you were looking for, I sent it last Friday as well but I guess you didn't get it. Let me know if you don't receive a message from me today.

Did my 100 jacks, all at once. It was a good calf workout but my dogs thought I was playing with them.

cshore54

Haven't done jumping jacks in 40 years...but today I did 100! I wasn't even sure IF my body would come off the ground. But it did, 100 times. In sets of only 10, but who knows what else this body can do if I make it or will it

Hey Team 20!
I am Kerry, a student at Penn State, about to finish my 5th year of undergrad, in an integrated undergrad/grad program where I am getting my B.S. and Master's in Forensic Science, minoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Bio. I hope to eventually go to Med School to be a ME or go into oncology!

I just turned 22 and my senior year of being 21 at school caused me to be the heaviest I have been, around 125 lbs. While not overweight, I had some flab and I hated the way I looked. At the end of the semester (May) I started to kick it in gear again to try to get the body I use to have, toned with a totally flat belly. That is my ultimate goal again. I don't care about weight as much as how I look.

My goal is to keep up my exercise routine, drink less, and eat a lot more healthy, especially with the school year starting again, August 22nd. I hope to be down to 108 lbs by January.

For this month I hope to lose 3 lbs to get down to 119 lbs and keep toning up. This is my first challenge, and I think it is a great idea and I am super excited. While my bf is not in this group, he is losing weight with me and is doing all the challenges with me as well:) Let's go Team PD!!

K1Teacher

Everyone is doing GREAT with their jumping jacks! I love reading the success of those who weren't sure they could. Yayyy YOU! My 100 are DONE and I'm just about to finish the rest of my workout for today. On my 8th cup of water now....

Since we have team members in multiple countries I am posting the challenge for tomorrow now!

The Challenge for Tuesday is to RUN/WALK/JOG a mile you wouldn't normally do!

Good Luck my lovelies!!!!

~Sonia

SunshineKisses_2012

I did my 100, then added another 100 later!! Just to prove that I could. The knee protested a bit and the back smarted a couple of times, but it was totally worth it!!! I managed to do 25 all at once the first go round! I was actually quite proud of myself!! The second set of 100, I managed 40 at once before having to take a short break. So excited!

Considering tomorrow is the extra mile, and I don't usually do a mile of anything (at least not that I can point to and say "that is a mile."), I'll just hit the on-site gym here at my apartment community and see how long i last before I get bored or tired (I'm gambling for the boredom to set in before the tiredness).

Goooo Team Persistent Determination!!!

megansmom311

Jumping jacks done! Woot!

sonybalony

Let me know if you see anything wrong. :huh:

Looks great! And I am the heaviest one on the team. Sweet! Ego boost for me tonight (I'm going to go drown my sorrows in yoga).

Hello everyone!

My name is Christi, and I'm from Ohio. I am a CPA and work for a large financial institution in downtown Cleveland. My weight has gradually increased over the past 11 years. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism ten years ago, and although that didn't help, I can't blame it on that. I worked a ton of hours, ate out all of the time, and my marriage fell apart during all of that as well. At the beginning of May I decided enough was enough, and I have been slowly and steadily losing weight ever since. I still hate to work out so these daily challenges will be good for me.

I know we will be successful as a team, and I look forward to sharing all of your individual successes as well!

No problem!! Just you wait...you'll probably out-lose us all!!

shortee75

DANG...wish I had got in on this challenge before it closed!

Although, I can't help you all earn extra points, if you all don't mind - I would like tag along with your team through the daily challenges, staying within my calories, and just chat in general.

Here is my info if anyone would like to know:

First name: Angie
start weight: 121.4 (as of 7/31)
want to lose this month: 2-3lbs
loss on MFP up til now: no loss yet

Since I am just now seeing this thread, I haven't done the 100 jumping jacks and won't be able to (it's about 9:30 my time and getting real close to my bedtime).

I will get a mile done on the treadmill as well as my regular Zumba session tomorrow :happy:

Sonia - could you add me to your email/message list so that I get the forum link each week?

jah1165
