    .Excited for a new week.. because last week I didn't really post with this idea of merging teams, and re-organization. So, how do we know who is on our newly merged team?

    hi guys wanted to introduce myself. i am new :) my name is Anne. I'm 33 married, 3 kids, in school for psych major. weigh in last weds was 235.6 and i'm hoping to get down to 205 by september 2nd. i've modified my eating, drinking mostly water (with the occasional diet soda as a treat, but not often) and exercising daily, even if it's just a walk. Can't wait to get to know you guys :)

    So I've been appointed your captain guys :) Just need you to message me with weights so I can update the spread sheet. I'm going to send friend requests to you guys. If you didn't send your weight in this week please get it to me asap.

    Hi Anne!!

    I don't see we have much postings on here yet! How do you want us to report the challenge information.. like do you want us to post it here weekly/daily?

    I have to post my colorful picture today, but I took it!

    I did Yoga on Monday.. which was something new.

    I think color wise I've been good with foods, but I just have to read through it for sure.

    I have three days of cardio so far, and will probably take a vigorous walk sometime over the weekend.

    I haven't been doing the strength excercises.. but maybe later today..

    I hope everyone is doing well!!

    It might be easier (and quicker) to just pm me with the weight loss results each week. I get emails letting me know if i have a message but to none for messages on the board so i don't see them until i get over here. i'm not sure how the other stuff is "graded" so that might be best to post here until i know otherwise. right now i only know to edit the spreadsheet of weights lol
    sounds like you are having a good week though. good job!! :)

    So far I have to say scale is my enemy at the moment I hit my old wall 73- 74 kg ( I done simelar last year) and my scale is not moving :( on clothes I can see I am loosing cms but for now I have stay strong and hope that my scale will move again soon ;) ... Last year I became depressed and went to old ways of my life and put everything and more on :(

    Sorry guys... I've had a really bad week so far.... Never should have Oreos in the house. I'm just so inconsistent right now..trying to get back mentally with motivation

    The challenges have been hard for me this week... I am not drinking water like I should... And I never ever get enough sleep. Part of it is that my 15 month old has been an insomniac lately...like waking up at 1 am and up until 3 !! I'm lucky to get 3 hours of sleep in a row... It doesn't help that I am a also an insomniac... Maybe it's genetic.. But I know that I've got to change something.

    I've taken two really good brisk walks so far...

    So the restvf the week my goal is to start logging more consistently and start to get and stay more motivated..

    Get those oreos out of the house :) It's why I don't keep junk food here, aside from the fact no one needs it. You can do this :) The sleep thing is obviously beyond your control but I know you can drink more water. I"m rooting for ya :)

    Important Update: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1023903-new-teams-new-spreadsheet
    The update is copied below :)

    Hey all! I got several positive responses about my idea for combining teams so I decided to go ahead and do it. The sooner it happens, the sooner we get to know each other. We now have two teams! Feel free to keep reporting to the same captain as far as weigh-ins go, but now you can enjoy getting know more people and hopefully get more support in the message boards :)

    Team A = Yellow, Red, White, and Pink
    Your Loft: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1023899-team-a-loft

    Team B = Orange, Brown, Blue, Green, Purple, and Black
    Your Loft: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1023901-team-b-loft

    The new homepage for the spreadsheet can be found here!
