    Do I get to count all the minutes I spent rolling around in bed last night trying to find a position where my hips didn't hurt? Yesterday was the first time I used the Arc machine at the gym and it definitely kicked my butt!

    According to the scale this morning, I am down 3.5 pounds. I stepped off and back on three times to make sure I was really seeing that. I'll take it!

    OK, off to tackle today!

    Good morning Team 5,
    I think we are doing very good. I updated our team tab on the excel sheet. I add some colours and formulas to make it look nicer. Please let me know what you think..

    "When you feel like quitting DON'T"
    I have to keep this in mind when my weight is coming off slower than I want it to. Hope everyone has a great day!

    @aston2045 slow and steady wins the race!

    Hi Team,

    I am new to this app and am not quite sure how to friend people. I can accept requests but don't how to issue requests.

    Help?

    Day two everyone! Everyone is crushing it with their minutes! Way to go. Last night I went to Planet Fitness and it was pizza Monday (WHY do they do that?!?), and I surprisingly passed up all of the boxes line up when I was leaving. o:)

    I had the same issue! It's bad enough that my Planet Fitness is tucked into the shopping center next to Little Cesar's. Every time I go in or out, that's what I smell. I keep reminding myself that Little Cesar's pizza smells a whole lot better than it tastes. Luckily I live in a college town, so free pizza doesn't last very long. By the time I finished my workout it was all gone.

    Success is not a race, be patient.
    Success leads to success.
    Success is always a work in progress.
    Success doesn't come to you--you go to it
    Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.
    Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.
    Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying.
    Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED!
    If at first you don't succeed-try, try again

    can we write everything in a notebook and then update the spreadsheet on Monday? It would just be easier.

    @TaraDanielle40 The amazing race goes Monday - Sunday so you need to have everything entered by Sunday for the week.

    I haven't been logging my points daily in the spreadsheet but I'm keeping track, I promise! I know it's only day 2 but I really do feel like this is holding me accountable.
    Also-- do we know about how many people are actually participating/on our team? I'd just like to be able to have a general idea so I can make sure I'm doing my fair share of the "miles" :)

    Good morning, we have an amazing team! It's so nice to see everyone building each other up instead of tearing them down. I am loving this challenge. Have a good day everyone.

    Good morning. Looks like I've caught my 3rd cold this year. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm debating on whether to exercise or take a rest day. I am determined to get to 288 minutes this week so maybe I will take a walk after work. Hope everyone does well with their weigh-ins!

    A walk is a great idea. I hope it gives you the energy to beat your cold!

    @AdSTL We get together for dinner with a group of friends once a month and last night it was at a local mexican restaurant. I opted for the veggie fajitas and managed to do all right. What surprised me more was that I can no longer finish off a restaurant meal. I was stuffed half way through! We are a close bunch of friends, so no one had any qualms about sharing what I couldn't finish, it didn't go to waste.

    Ready to plow through another day and will hit the gym tonight. I forgot to pack something greek in my lunch, so I'll have to get that in at dinner.

    I think I have friended about a dozen people so far. That leaves five or six that I haven't seen posting anywhere. I'll try to find them and send requests.

    Hope everyone has a great day - and that those of you who are feeling under the weather are better soon!
