Hello! Let's do this!

Hi and welcome to Team 4! I am a little behind the eight ball as I didn't log in last night. Sorry. Okay.... The most important thing about being on a team is working together to achieve our common goals and offering support and encouragement to one another along the way. This is not "just" the team leader's role; it is for everyone to be supportive of everyone! We can make this a great experience if we work together.

My name is Lisa. My username stands for my goal of becoming a "Healthy And Sexy Wife" and then my initials. I will be sending out friend requests to all of you so we can stay connected. You should also consider sending out your own requests to the other team members.

I don't think many of you participated in the Winter Blast Challenge, but for that challenge we came up with team names. A couple possibilities that came to mind in keeping with the "spring" theme are Spring into Action or Spring Soldiers. PLEASE think up some names and post them here and we can come up with a consensus. (They don't have to be spring related!)

In the meantime, while we wait for the Amazing Race to start, how is everyone doing with the squat challenge?!

So, to echo the sentiment of @ryblueeyes above, let's do this!

I like this idea, Karen. Leave a short introduction once you've found this thread. If we get to know each other a little bit, we will feel more like a team.

I'm Kate. I'm an accountant at a private college in WV; 27 years old with a 2 year old son. Recently I joined a 24-hour women's only gym close to my house. I've been TRYING to make myself a morning person and get up early to go workout before work. But that's a lot easier said than done lol I tend to get in more late night workouts than early mornings. It's a work in progress!!

Also, is anyone else struggling with the fact that it is currently Girl Scout cookie season?!?! My niece is a GS, so of course I ordered them a couple months ago when she was first taking orders. Well they came in last week....and they are calling my name from the kitchen pantry lol

Hi everyone, I'm Jenny. I'm a computer programmer and I'm 28 from the UK,
I have hypothyroidism which is gladly now being treated. I'm trying to lose a lot of weight to be able to do things which I can't currently like going to rock festivals and particularly loose a load of weight so i can enjoy my 30th birthday in 2017 with my family properly on a holiday.
I've been using a fitbit since January to push me to do more exerciser and doing the NHS couch to 5k pod casts to increase my exercise during the week at lunch and in the evening after i finish work since January, also I'm trying to start to go to the gym once a week at the weekend too. feel free to add me if your on there too. https://www.fitbit.com/user/47FKSW

I had a couple of ideas for names Spring Swans or The Wild Flowers

Hi team !!! Excited to get started. I've stared the squat challenge (rest day ) This is my first time joining a challenge Love Jenny's idea for our team "wild flowers".

I made it to the gym this morning! It was such a struggle to get there though lol I made it there at 6:15. Getting out of my warm bed is hard, but the guilt of NOT going to the gym is even worse!

Happy Friday everyone!

I like the name The Wildflowers too. I skipped pilates class today to study, but tomorrow morning I'm going to outdoor yoga with my sister. I'm going to make No-Bake Chocolate Energy Balls to take with us. They are 100 calories each, but I feel they're much healthier & cheaper than other options downtown.
How is everyone else doing? Best wishes!!!

Skipping pilates to study is perfectly acceptable! I've got two sons in post secondary and as a parent footing the bill, it is also expected! I did outdoor yoga when we were in Florida in January and I really enjoyed it! Have fun with your sister tomorrow, Shelle! I just came back from a 40 minute walk on the treadmill. I am doing something like a C25K and today was a walk day. I am on week 5. There is a fun 5k in town on April 1st that I would like to do, and hopefully run the whole thing. (It's probably been a year and a half since I last ran a 5k straight). I was also thinking about team names and trying to use "Team 4" as a theme. I came up with Team Fourmidable". I am not opposed to the The Wildflowers, I just had this idea so I put it out there. There are many who haven't chimed in yet. We'll wait until the end of the weekend to make our final decision.

I like the wildflowers too! I'll try to keep up with the posts throughout the weekend, but I'm usually on the go. Have a great day everyone!

I agree. The consensus is Wildflowers. (Thanks, Jenny, for suggesting it!) Sorry to hear that you've had a migraine, Mauli. Hey, do you know if there is a way to change the heading of our team thread to say Team 4 - The Wildflowers? Since you started it, I didn't know if there was a way for you to edit it?

Hello everyone, I'm Shelby. I am a bit late joining, but I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 24 years old. My birthday is right after this challenge ends, so this is a bit of an extra boost to get to my first big goal for my 25th. Currently attending school and working, so my workout schedule is usually all over the place, but trying to get on a more regular schedule. That's about it for now i guess.

Also if anyone has a fitbit and wants to add me: sbeckum91@gmail.com

Hi, Shelby and welcome to Team 4 - The Wildflowers.

Ruffa, the spreadsheet where we initially weighed in on March 1st has a tab for Team 4. There is a spot for each day to record our exercise minutes and spots at the end to record roadblocks completed.
