    Aprilstar480, are you still willing to be captain for this joint group?

    Is there anyone else willing to share responsibilities with her in case she is ill, busy, etc.?

    So, I'm super impressed that all of the former white team has already weighed in. Nice job ladies! Miss Phelps... don't forget to either get your exercise/nutrition stats in to me or post them so you can get your extra lbs.

    Ok, here's my check in for week 4. 188.3 (.2lb weight loss). I'm shocked i lost anything because I was horrible at logging my food and I only went to the gym for a total of 3 hours. anyways, back on the wagon, let me get refocused with my new team :)

    One positive note for the week, Saturday I went to my gym for a zumbathon. Two full hours of dance, I was one of only 15 people that finished it. My endurance has increased so much in the past few months, I used to be exhausted after 2 songs.

    Jamila, that sounds like soooo much fun! I LOVE Zumba. My gym does Club Dance too... those are my favorite classes:wink: Congrats on staying in it to the finish. That really is something to be proud of!

    I just did these two workouts. I really like the instructor in these ones so I thought I'd share. She is easy to follow and down to earth. Its almost like you actually have a workout partner doing the exercises with you. Both videos are 10 minutes so its perfect for our requirements this week.

    These are good. I also like the ones from Fitness Blender. They are a little longer (20 minutes) but take you through the reps with clear instructions. Here are a couple for our target areas:

  • Hi everyone! Just checking in...finally got a massage so I am way better for exercise. Didn't realize how aches and pain affects us whether work or being able to exercise. Glad we merged. Being busy helps me to eat less. Staying sane is the hard part. Lol Thanks!

    I didn't realize I posted on the spreadsheet link instead of this thread. Oops! I have not been doing so well lately. Have lost motivation. I keep doing that thing where I say, "I will do better tomorrow", and mostly I don't. I'm looking forward to the merged teams and renewed challenges helping me to stay on track.

    I'm glad to hear everyone else is doing pretty good. Great job! Good luck with the remainder of the week!

    Glad you ladies found us! Jl, just try to stay focused. You've got the right idea by taking it one day at a time.... Baby steps are fine. Trading just one bad choice for a good one will eventually create a chain of good choices after a period of time. You've got this, your doing great:flowerforyou:

My actual real weight is 196; yay me! But for the sake of keeping with how I weighed in I will keep it at 199. I didn't even get to do any exercise... just was so busy! Ate better food and did yoga as the only exercise besides work haha.

    Sorry I was a bit late putting my info in. Been super busy with finals and getting things ready for my trip to Vegas next week!

    PS - I will be posting my June 3rd weigh-in early, because of said Vegas trip. I don't think we'll have a scale in the hotel room =P

    Sandi, I went to Vegas for my first time in March! Have you been before? Where are you staying? There is sooooo much to see and do there! I averaged about 10 miles of walking almost everyday that I was in Vegas. I did put on 5lbs though.... I'd suggest avoiding the buffets:wink:

    Cg, Looks like you still did an amazing job even without logging. Great loss... Your gonna be joining Getsme here pretty soon in One-derland :bigsmile:
