Whats up Teal Team!! I'm excited to be a loser with you! :wink:

My name is Carrie and I'm 25. I live in Portland, OR with my husband and I'm an Actuary (work in a cubicle with numbers all day - math nerd). I've been on MFP since March(ish), started at 174 now at 166 and heading for a goal weight of 150.

I daily log and have an open diary. I try to get 6 workouts in a week. I am just finishing up Jillian's 30 Day Shred and starting Ripped in 30 soon. Also, mixing it up with 2-3 mile walks and runs a few times a week with my dog when weather permits. I try to squeeze in some hiking and river kayaking too.

What are your workout/diet plans? :happy:

    Hey Teal team!!

    Lets do this and win the challenge!!

    My name is Amanda and I am in the middle of my weight loss challenge. I am just back from my holiday and so today I am back on the healthy eating and back to the Gym. I try and get to the gym 5 days out of 7 and this includes doing Zumba and Funkee Fitness which is really good fun. My Diary is open and feel free to add me as a friend. Although some days are healthier than others.

    I am looking forward to winning this challenge - bring it on!!!

    :smile:

    Hello! My name is Lisa and I am 27 years old. I desperately need the motivation to lose the extra weight I have packed on over the years. I am really trying to make working out apart of my daily routine, but it is hard and life always gets in the way! My ultimate goal is to lose around 50 lbs and get down to a much healthier weight. My immediate goal is to start and stick to an exercise program. I have T-25 and need to start incorporating it into my daily schedule, it is only 25 minutes so I have to fit that in, right?! Go Teal team!

    Hi Team Teal!!! My name is Mary and I live up north in Ontario. I'm 51, married with 2 adult kids. I am an IT Analyst so sit at a desk pretty much all day. I wear a fitbit and have been trying to get 10,000 steps a day. I go to a gym in the mornings and do the eliptical trainer or treadmill. I also have my bike set up on a trainer at home. Looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next 10 weeks. Go Teal!!!

    Crap, I missed the first weigh in too! And I log in everyday! There has to be a reminder system to this group challenge.
    When is the next weigh-in?

    Hi Teal Team ! Hope everyone is having a good week so far. I had a bit too much fun on the weekend :drinker: and am working my butt off this week to make up for it. :laugh:
    I've been to the gym in the mornings so far and I hope to continue all week. Don't know about you guys, but I feel so much better
    when I work out in the morning. It's nice to get it over with and then you don't have to think about it all day.
    I really have to get the weekends under control. That's what I want to focus on during this next 10 weeks.
    Have a good one!

    Hey there Teal team....hope everyone is having a great summer. I'm just back from vacation, it's so hard to stay motivated when the weather is nice and there are lots of get togethers. :drinker: The trick is to just get right back at it!! I've been slacking on filling out the journal lately so I have to be more diligent at that this week. How is everyone else doing???
