Heyy, I'm Leyla, I live in Reading/Oxford UK and I'm 23. I work in retail and I want to hit my target weight before my birthday in May so this challenge seemed great as the dates aligned!!

Hi I'm Samantha I'm 36 and live in Charleston SC with my fiance and 3 teens. I'm looking to lose another 20 lbs to get to my goal.

Howdy all! I'm Clarice and I am a teacher at a Juvenile Court School in Southern California. My job is year round, so I can take time off when I want, and the weather here is usually pretty good, so I have no excuse for not exercising! I'm probably the oldest on the team (57), and I started dieting when I was 12, so I've had LOTS of experience with those (insert your own word here) scales!! I'm only 4'10", so at 135 I'm barely out of the obese range. I set my goal waaaay low (99), and I know I won't hit it by May, but I'm going to keep on rolling until I get there! Don't let my age fool you; I'm very competitive and plan to give this my all! A year ago I was doing Zumba about four times/week and loved it so much I got my teaching licence (with Gina Grant, for you Zumba lovers out there). But then I got sick, stopped going, and ended up gaining 30 pounds in 6 months. A goal of mine is to get back to dancing and not let this extra weight slow me down. I usually hike with my golden retriever, Tara, along with my partner in crime, my husband of 16 years. A major goal of mine is to fit back in my wedding dress.
With all that being said, I best go hit a trail! It looks like we have an awesome team, so let's kick some booty, and bring home the "trophy" Team 6!

Hi everyone! I am Melissa, 36, married from Reading, PA. I have been on a weight roller coaster over the last few years. My recent lowest was in November of 2014 when I was 205. Life got in the way and I started making excuses and gained 44 pounds. Since the start of the year I am down 17 pounds and I am looking to lose 15 through he course of this challenge. Ultimate goal is 150-ish. Going to be using Jillian Michael's Body Revolution during the course of this challenge.

@hawkins410, I am a Zumba fan and that is so awesome! In fact I use the Zumba Wii games a lot!

If I haven't sent you a friend request, please send me one. One of the challenges is that we are all friends on here.

Hey everyone sorry I just found this post. I think I've got everyone friend added but I couldn't find a couple. I'm Rachael, 30 and live in Wisconsin. Im excited to get started!

Hi my name is Jessica from Western NY. I have a husband and a 16 yr old (God help me lol) and a German shepherd that keeps me on my toes. Gained a lot of weight when I was going for my masters so now it's time to get my life back and get healthy. Had Achilles problems so running is out of question but trying to get back to working out by walking a lot and doing spin classes

Week 1 Amazing Race Golden Tickets are up! We are heading for Greece!!
I'm looking forward to learning the Mama Mia Dance. I am friends with everyone except valtheran0. Has anyone found him yet? Do we get extra points if we do both roadblocks? I'm excited! Go Team 6!

I think we do get extra points, the Greek food will be easy for me and the exercise "miles" I work out 6 days a week.

Are we using this thread or the new one 'Team 6 degrees of awesome??'

I can't find the new thread.

I'm so confused. How do I find the new team page and where do you find the golden tickets or what we're supposed to do this week?
