Hi, I'm Sarah too, or three or four.... No really my name is Mary. I live in the "Waterpark Capital of the World", Wisconsin Dells. My husband and I have 4 children - one married and expecting, two boom-a-rangs (they recently graduated from college, no jobs yet; so they are back home) and one in college. I am 54 and recently retired from teaching. I had worked in a hospital/university setting for years. I think I have all the vices you have commented. I just into things without looking, I can never do anything half way, I hate to lose (except weight). Currently I am approaching my maintenance weight. I need to learn how to stay there. I always joke that because it it so cold here, I have to add insulation in winter (this takes the form of 10 pounds or so). My weaknesses are chocolate, salty foods, and wine. We have a well stocked wine cellar that I frequent.

Good luck to all on this tribal journey.

We have the same weaknesses! But I bet you couldn't tell.....:drinker:

AUGUST CHALLENGE WEEK 1
This is the week one team challenge. This should be done in addition to your normal workout routine.
This is a challenge and is not a replacement! If you need a beginner workout please contact your team
captain for ideas.

Week One Daily Exercise Challenge
Each team member that completes their daily exercise challenge receives one point, if all team
members complete each daily exercise for all 6 days the team is then awarded an additional 5 Bonus
Points.

their target calories and log at least 64 oz. of water each day. If each team member does this all 6 days

AUGUST CHALLENGE #4: INSPIRE AND RETIRE!
Week 4 and FINAL Daily Challenges

Monday 8/29 - Final Days make them count! 200 Jumping Jacks, 100 Crunches, 10 burpees, 10 mountain
climbers, 10 globe jumps, 10 Squat Kicks, 10 ZigZag Hops! These are a little different. IF YOU ARE ABLE
AND YOU ARE! Do these consecutively. No stopping to rest, don’t break these into sets! I’ve designed
this so you can see just how far you’ve come. Many of you would never be able to do all of these in one
setting on August 1st. BUT YOU’VE Found the inner Beast, You’ve Unleashed you ROCKSTAR and you’ve
become an EXERCISE MACHINE. I’m proud of you and you should be VERY proud of yourself!

Tuesday 8/30- Final Days make them count! Walk, Run, Jog a 5K that is 3.2 miles straight no stopping! As
fast or as slow as you need to! YOU CAN DO IT I PROMISE! At 447lbs I did it in one hour and 15minutes

Wednesday - REST BECAUSE THURSDAY ITS GOING TaaaaaRIBALLLLL!!!!!!!!


Weekly Team Challenge
4000 team crunches, 4000 Jumping Jacks and 100 extra miles! This equals about 200 per team for
crunches and jumping jacks for the week along with an extra 5 miles for each team member! The Last
part of the team weekly challenge is solicit a friend or family member to join MFP and begin the next
month’s journey with you. Inspire others that’s easy. The retire portion of the week is about looking
back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to
exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep
it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!

It looks like we have lost 3 members of our team:sad: , do we have replacements ready?

I am really looking forward to pushing it through September and can't wait to see the results.

Hi! I'm glad to be part of the team!! Thanks for letting me join!

A little about me...I'm Stacey, mom to 3 kids--ages 5, 3 and 1. My husband is Army National Guard, and he's deploying in just over 3 weeks. So September would be a GREAT month for me to have a challenge to focus on. I've been overweight pretty much since high school. I don't remember the last time I weighed less than 200 pounds. I've used food as a way to cover up my emotions, and the last 2 times my husband deployed, I gained weight both times. I weigh about 60 pounds more than I did when we got married. But I've decided no more (I have a blog here, if you really want to read more about my story).

I am totally committed to changing my ways this time. Tomorrow is 3 weeks since I committed to my new life, and I'm feeling great! I work out at least 30 minutes everyday--either on the elliptical, Walk Away the Pounds DVD or walking/jogging outside. I'll be joining the YMCA soon, too, to add some strength training to my routine.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and doing this challenge together! Thanks again for adding me to the team!

I will put out an updated team roster later today....work is killing me right now so please bear with me!
