So nice to read everyone's updates....we all have struggles, illness, emergencies, life etc. I think being accountable and honest is key to getting back on track. I hope everyone is able to relax this weekend and get some goals in place for the upcoming week....exercise, meals, water, sleep etc.

I have been on the treadmill lots, done at least 2 miles daily and although I haven't jogged much, I am walking at 3.2-3.4 most of the time so that's much better than what I was doing. I kept my weight off that I lost when I was sick, so super excited about that!! I even lost another pound this week. My daughter came from university yesterday, I am excited to have her home, this was her first year and we are very close so I missed having her around although we talked 4-5 times a week. She wants to lose some weight too so we are committed to eating good and really watching the treats. Our family cruise is in two weeks so I want to lose 2 more pounds before then.

Cheers to a great weekend everyone.

Hi everyone, I too have been MIA for a couple of days. I went over on my ankle (slight sprain) during boot camp friday morning. It doesn't hurt any more, but is still very swollen. I hope to really rest it today so I can get back in the game!!
@BJerzy - hope your husband gets better soon!
@303lissy - awesome!! so close!!
@sandkp - hope that headache goes away. I get them quite often as well.
@wahmx3 - 2 weeks and you get to sail away! How exciting!

We are awesome!! Let's have the best week yet.

Welp... lost a bit of weight from last Tuesday but gained weight from Friday (my two weigh in days). Grumble...

I weighed in today, I tend to be posting my results on Wed....doing the happy dance here, just under 160, haven't been that since Dec 2014!! Think it's a combination of exercising more and Plexus. 8 days until we leave for Miami, can't wait for a 10 day vacation!

Sorry team for being kind of MIA - so much going on here no time to log and my phone and I don't get along to write long messages without it autocorrecting me to sound really goofy! (not blaming my fat fingers at all!)

@BJerzy so glad to hear your husband is doing better!

I am not sure if you all have had a chance to read the newsletter about the upcoming stuff for this group - looks like the mini is a singles ( There will be a new group to start Monday May 13- July 11. It's 8 weeks only ) and then they will do a group race starting June 20 and going for 10 weeks. Hawkins410 is going to be stepping up to start that one... here is the info on that..

"Amazing Race - Summer Heat" will be very similar to the current race, with just a few minor changes. It will be a team challenge, starting June 20th, and lasting exactly 10 weeks. It's a big commitment! We will be racing hard and fast around the world (plus some). For those teams that are speedy enough, we will reach Rio de Janeiro just in time for the closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics!

In order to moderate, tabulate, and make sure we play by the rules, @MissionEnforcer has volunteered to monitor and take over the Mission Controls.

Sign-ups will begin June 5, and the ability to access spreadsheets will be necessary. Although we will need a Team Liaison from each team, establishing a buddy system will be encouraged for help, support, and logging purposes.
For those who wish, group sign-ups will be allowed, and "The Enforcer" will try to accommodate all requests, as much as possible, depending on numbers.

In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful time in Melodieccurn's new challenge! I will be watching that one from the sidelines and cheering you all on. Just watch for the sign-in sheet on June 5th. I hope to see many of you in the "Amazing Race -Summer Heat". The more, the merrier!!


So the question is... is anyone wanting to do a team sign up like we discussed a couple weeks ago? If so, guessing we should make a list so we can ensure we are all put on the same team.

So sorry @enuf200 .. I know how frustrating that is. Just know that you will get there if you hold true. Your body's just fighting you right now. Maybe switch up your diet a bit to feed it more earlier and when you get that urge to snack or eat late, drink water water water... or a cup of tea.. something without a bunch of calories. I know late evening eating was/is a huge part of my weight issues. I have been trying to do this water thing myself... only downside is night bathroom runs!

So excited that we have a group started... @303lissy, @BJerzy, @enuf200 and @sandkp (me)... anyone else in???

I know I need to buckle down with snacking and get back to weekly planning of meals. I have to put in the work to be successful. Weird, I don't shy away from hard work in any other part of my life....why am I lazy when it comes to having a proper diet? And really, its not even that hard!! thanks for the advice @sandkp - your right about drinking more water - I will work on that. @303lissy - we WILL figure this out!!

Hey team... sorry for slacking... its after midnight and I'm just rolling in after a 7+HR drive home and unpacking.. left home with my teenager on Thursday for college/soccer tours/camps. Been hotel living and watching the camps so it's been challenge. I'm gonna try to catch up tomorrow but wanted to say thanks to you all for this first of what I hope to be many journeys with you all!

@BJerzy .. I signed up for the singles race... is there a sign up for the team one yet? Didn't want to miss it but didn't see a link in my quick peek before falling asleep!
