    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?

    Hi, Ruffa. Nice Zumba workout and 2 mile run! The C25K is going okay. I have done it before, only with a group. It is much harder to do alone. @ryblueeyes is a runner. I will have to pick her brain if I encounter any roadblocks! Any other runners on Team Wildflowers?

    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

    Lisa, one of my goals is to run a marathon one day but i'd probably stick on 5k's and 10k's for now. zumba is my favorite though, so much fun! btw, i am new to this amazing race challenge, is this the official team 4 thread where we put out achievements and minutes? or are you making a different thread when we started the challenge on monday?

    also.. please add me if you guys are on fitbit :) leemalyn14@yahoo.com

    waving HI to Shelby! adding you on fitbit

    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.

    Got a good workout in this afternoon! I'm not a runner by any means, but I was able to run on the treadmill, even if it was only for a few minutes at a time. Made myself proud! Here's to a good week Wildflowers!

    Alright; time for a better introduction! I'm Aly, I am 26 years old, mom to a super rad 4 year old little boy and a couple American Bulldogs. I currently live in Georgia, USA but we are moving later this month to Alabama (to my husband's family farm!). I came across this challenge group while I was searching through the community posts and thought this would be a really awesome way to kick my booty back into gear and help me finish reaching my weight loss goal by my 27th birthday as this challenge ends just before then! Not to mention my best friend just talked me into joining her in an obstacle race this June, so I really need the extra motivation to keep working out. I am looking forward to getting caught up in this thread and in the activity since I hadn't been able to get on MFP to see anything this past week. I hope this is as much fun as it sounds like, and I am excited to get to know all of you and celebrate together as we all crush our goals.

    Okay, Team Wildflowers, are you ready for this challenge to start tomorrow?!! There are SEVERAL ways to earn points this week, so I would like to see us rack up as many as possible!

    The first roadblock is the dance and it is worth 10 points. It looks really fun, is only a minute and a half, and any time we spend practicing can be used towards our exercise minutes!

    The second roadblock is eating Greek foods and is worth 2 points/food up to 10 points. Some examples are lamb, tzatziki, Greek pitas, meat pies (lamb, goat, mince pork), feta, olives, grapes, grape leaves, Greek yogurt and spinach.

    The nutrition challenge is going sugar free and is worth 5 points.

    The accountability challenge is 2 points/day up to 10 points. We have all "friended" some team members. Just comment on their statuses 5 times and post on the team thread 5 times. It could be to tell the team how your workout went, to tell the team what Greek foods you ate, to comment on how the squat challenge is going....the list goes on!

    The bonus challenge is doing the arm challenge or dumbbell challenge (or both, if you choose) for the whole first week for 10 points.

    Lastly are the exercise minutes. Record on the spreadsheet, team 4 tab, how many minutes you spent exercising each day. If that day was a rest day, record a 0. That way we know you are still with us! Remember we can include any minutes spent dancing, squatting or doing the arm or dumbbell challenge! We have 19 team members, so the minutes divided evenly are 257 each. That is just a guideline...ideally do more! But most importantly, do what you can.

    Have a great week, team!

    Hello Team 4 ☺
    I'm looking forward to this challenge. This will be my first challenge and I already feel it will provide the motivation that I need.
    I'm 37yrs old and I am starting to have pretty serious health issues that can be turned for the better by living a healthy life style.
    I'm married for 16yrs and we have a 14yr old and a 10yr old. I work from home in customer service so I'm sedentary for most of the day.
    And I'm looking to lose 30lbs so maybe I can lose half of that with this challenge. Or possible come close

    Hi Lisa, I tried to change the name but there is no Edit options or under settings it gives me any options. On the spreadsheet I did make the changes to our name.

    I will do the food for the second roadblock instead of the dance since I pulled my muscles. So I will get the minutes for workout as much as I can

    Thanks for trying to edit, Mauli. As far as the Roadblocks, do what your body will allow you to do! Same goes for workouts, they can be a low impact walk; they don't have to be strenuous. Good luck!
