Kelseyka, are you still willing to act as captain of this team?
Is there anyone willing to share responsibilities with her in case of sickness, change in schedule, etc.?0 -
I'm not very computer literate, but I'm in daily. If there is something someone can teach me easily to help, I can follow written directions well. I have a lot of time on my hands since I'm an empty-nester. I have five more days before I can do much in the way of workouts, doctor's orders.0

Ya I can do it!

I was expecting a big loss and saw a gain this week I guess we just deal and move on!! 0 -
Heres this week challenge!! We should do well with a new and improved team
In Summary:
1. 4/7 days of exercise = 1 lbs advantage
2. 1 session of something new = 1 lbs advantage
3. 10 minutes of arms, legs, abs, or booty workout, 1 day for each body area focus = 1 lbs advantage
4. 5/7 days with at least 5 colors of food = 1 lbs advantage
5. Recipe = 1 lbs for everyone who posts, extra 1 lbs for best recipe0 -
This past week I was able to workout until Friday. Friday I had an angiogram and can't do much work out until I go back to the doctor on Thursday this week. I actually lost a pound this past week. Happy, happy. Now if I can just maintain it until I can start my regular working out again, I'll be ecstatic. Right now all I can do it walk, ride the stationary bike, or squats. 0

I like these challenges!
I now do short bursts of exercise everytime I go to make a tea/coffee. Today is doing a sort of incline press up (put hands on worktop edge, take a big step back and do the press up from there) and also arm curls with bottle of water. Yesterday was doing steps and squats. Not sure how to include abs into this but will let you know.0 -

Hey ladies! Congrats to MLL for being in the top for points
There were a few of us in the bottom (including myself ) What can we do to challenge one another???
Ideas?? Checkins?? Mini challenges??0 -
Well, doctor released me for Monday. Yeah! That means I get to go back to my kickboxing class next week. In the meantime, I'm trying to do a few squats, crunches, and get some cardio done daily.
I posted my colorful lunch today. Since I've eaten the same thing daily for lunch and breakfast all week, I hope to get an advantage point for the five colors of food.
Since I can do squats, how about a squat challenge? We could try to do 500 squats by next weigh in. When is it, Monday?0 -

YAY!! congrats on being able to kick box! great news. I'm on the squat challenge! 0 -
Ok, it's on. Purple/Black team let's get 500 squats done by Monday weigh-in. This is a just to help ourselves challenge. Can you do it? Doesn't matter what kind you do. Just do 500. If you have knee problems, do sumo squats, It is much gentler on the knees. The only requirement of doing squats is to keep your weight in your heels. If you can wiggle your toes while you are down, you are doing it correctly. I've had 3 different trainers at 2 different places tell me that.0

Good morning ladies!
Hope that you are all doing well. I have been MIA for a bit on the discussion board and not great about tracking my food (although I have been working out quite a bit). I realized that by being active on the discussion board, even if I was only posting once a day, I was coming on to the site and would end up tracking even if I didn't feel like it. I know for me tracking is one of my keys to success since I can be a "mindless" eater. It also seems that being part of a challenge and participating to discussions may also be one of my keys to success.
My current challenge this week: I am testing for my next belt in karate on Saturday. As part of my test we have a fitness component - 2 sets x 75 reps of pushups, situps, squats and back fist/reverse punch combo. In addition to my workout videos and karate classes, I have been working on these exercises. The hardest for me are the pushups but I am finally at the point where I'm feeling confident that I can complete them during the test.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Good morning ladies!
Hope you are all doing well. I have been MIA on the discussion board for a bit (although I have been keeping up with my workouts). I haven't been tracking my food lately which has led to gaining a bit of weight back. I know that tracking is definitely one of my keys to success. It also seems that participating in the discussion board and being part of a challenge is another key to success for me since it brings me on to the site regularly to check in. Once on, I end up tracking my day.
My challenge this week: I am testing for my next karate belt on Saturday morning. As part of my test we have a fitness component to complete. For this belt I have to complete 2 sets x 75 reps of pushups, situps, squats and mountain climbers. In addition to my workout videos and karate classes, I have been working on being able to complete the repetitions for these exercises. I am finally at the point now with my pushups (which is the hardest one for me) that I feel confident that I can complete them during the test (it will still be a challenge but I know that I can do it).

Hi Guys
I am going to have to stop being a part of this challenge, I have way too much going on and can't commit to it.
I wish you all the best of luck on your weight loss journey x0 -

I am here too. Just a busy weekend. I got off track too. I really have to keep tracking my food on the weekends!! Trying to get back on track today. Wish me luck!!0

I hope this counts, but I am giving up my night time eating habits. I do great logging all day, and then at night I seem to lose control. This is something I really need to work on. Does anyone else have this problem? I know it is hindering my weight loss. I tried doing this a few weeks ago, and saw great results on the scale. I have slipped though and need to get back on track. :sad: :grumble:0

When is weigh in?
Weigh in day was officially yesterday, and so far no one from this team has posted a new weight. I messaged the captain, kelseyka, but I haven't heard back from her. If you are still active please post your weight here, send me a personal message with your weight, or just go ahead and post your weight in the spreadsheet. Choose whichever is easiest for you. I will make sure everything gets updated so that you can be in the result posted tomorrow Also, if you completed challenges, let me know that so that you get the bonus points you deserve! 0 -
I sent my info on June 3rd. Perhaps it didn't go through. Here it is again just in case:
