    Hello Ladies!

    Sorry I've been gone for a few days, i just moved to a new city and settling in and waiting for things like internet installation :) We are currently looking for 2 new people so let me know if anyone is still looking. I think September's challenge is going to be awesome! It'll be tough but we will get through it and come out stronger on the other side :)

    I will definitely be here for the challenge. School has been hectic and I have not had time to keep track of anything. I'm going into my second week at school so it should be easier!

    Ladies, I'm a little nervous! It seems as if my emails are not going through to Gary. I've emailed him 4 times (feeling a bit stalkerish there) and he hasn't emailed me back (the emails aren't even indicating that they have been read). I'm not sure what is going on, but I'm nervous we are missing the challenge! If anyone has any ideas/suggestions of what to do, that would be great!

    Hi everyone! Just thought I'd wish everyone a happy Monday! Anyone got big plans for the week? Hubby is on a trip to Ohio left today. So I get to be a single mom of 3 for the next 4 days. The week is full of errands....girl scouts and soccer practices. I ran/walked 8.5 miles yesterday and my body is sore today! My back is really sore but has been on and off the last couple weeks. I think it's time to honestly consider a new mattress as much as I hate to admit it it's 10 yrs old and really needs to be replaced! Hope everyone has a great week!

    Here is what Gary says about how the Sept. challenge will work. Thought I'd pass it along for those of you who aren't friends with him

    Gary6030 HOW DOES THE SEPT CHALLENGE WORK? its very simple. You choose which exercise path you want to do for the day or week. Pygmy or BUSHMEN. Pygmy is more basic and low impact where BUSHMEN is the opposite. I would suggest trying something new! You do the exercises for the day. If there is a weekly goal meet that goal. Once a week you send your team captain an update saying I did all the dailies or I did 5 of them whatever is the case. Then send them your weight on Sunday. That's it. We compute the % of weight loss and your points for each day's exercise and add it together for a total team score. If all of your team completes the daily and weekly challenges you earn bonus points for the team. That's all there is to it really. I hope that helps!

    Hi everyone - I am Kelly - your newest team member. I am ready! I did pretty well in August - not sure if I "kicked the CRAP out of it" but I sure tried! Our team leader decided not to continue leading - too busy. So THANKS for letting me be a MISS FIT!!

    Welcome Kelly!
    I'm a mom of 3. I have a VERY active 4 yr old boy and 2 girls 6 & 11. I work from home with a daycare of 12 kids. I also work part time taking care of income base apts. My husband travels for work but he's my best friend. I'm over stressed and over worked. I love to volunteer but this year it has brought on too much stress. I'm working on letting go of some projects to give me more focus time for me. I tend to get off track easy and I'm hoping to use the Sept Challenge to keep in on track for a month so I'll keep up with it. I know how to do it I just make bad food choices. I don't seem to struggle with cardio just food! I'm training for a half marathon Oct 1st and half Jan 7th/Full Jan 8th. Looking forward to getting to know you!
