I can't believe it's nearing August already!!! Where did the time go??

We've been running a challenge for several months now. We've got several amazing members who have come along for the ride but we're missing something......

YOU!!!!

This is an open group -- you can enter whenever you find us. We roll with 3 team captains.

Tiffypooh2u -- A-H -- Team Blue
Jrdoty8986 -- I-P -- Team Red
SommerJo -- Q-Z -- Team Purple

They way it works --- Based on your Username -- send a friend request to the Team Captain who's got your letter. Make sure you include your starting weight. The Team Captain will add you to the chart. On Fridays (8/5,8/12,8/19,8/26) send your current weight to your Captain by message. Our Final Weigh in will be 8/31 - I know it's a Wednesday -- but that'll give us a few extra days to work towards the goal.

Between the 3 of us -- we'll come up with a nifty weekly challenge too.

"But there's so many challenges on MFP - Why should we join yours SommerJo??"

Because you're right here -- reading this right now. How many times have we said -- "well I'll start my diet on Monday -- or next week or next month?" How many times do we not start exercising because "I'm going to buy that DVD or treadmill or gym membership?"

LOL -- I know what you're thinking --"wow -- she's good!!"

Hope to see you all in the group :flowerforyou:

    Have sent my details to tiffypooh2u or at least I think I have sent it to the right person. My only worry is remembering to send the information on the right days. Do the team captains send reminders at all??? Hopefully I will remember.

    Looking forward to the challenge. Should make losing weight even more fun

    i'm in already sent a message to Tiffypooh2uSo the next time we weigh in is the 5th August and send it direct to the team captain is that right? 10lbs would get me pretty close to my goal.
