    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.

    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 :smile:

    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!!

    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!!!

    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!

    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?

    Hey Sonia, I sent you a message but my goal to loose is 7 pounds and GW is 130. Just a clarification. Do you want us to report each day here or send you a message?

    Thanks for all your leadership work.
