    Ok my fabulous Purples -- I've been schooled in the latest weight tracking technology lol

    Thanks to Ms jrdoty -- I too have a spreadsheet posted on Google -- I'm really hoping everyone can check it out!!!

    https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkN3SRxwQ0EIdHVRUnZKaW1vSkJjMXhvbUMzNFNISnc&hl=en_US

    I have one more thing to try -- the whole picture posting on here. I'll keep playing but in the meantime -- check this out!!!

    I've gotten a lot of messages from Tiffypooh's team members -- do not despair my friends -- she'll be back soon and catch up with everyone!!

    BTW -- has everyone checked out their team's forums? How'd we do burning calories today?

    I know my buns are burning from walking -- but it's a nice productive burn lol

    I'll join! I'm new here and this will be my first challenge on MFP. 10 lbs in the first month seems reasonable I think. Hope I don't blow it :) Sending my friend request to the team captain now!

    This is cool because now if I don't keep at it, I'll feel like I'm letting my team down as well as myself. That's quite a powerful motivator for me.

    Calorie burn today - I burned around 750 cals through exercise. I worked a load at work, and did 45 mins of Zumba... Surprised myself at being motivated to exercise so much!

    Looking forward to the rest of the week to keep surprising myself, and hopefully to impress everyone/myself on Friday with the weigh-in!

    I will proudly carry a SPARTAN banner! You're right, it's so much better than team red (AND better than being Trojans!:huh:)

    Thanks for the spreadsheet! We have a really big team. Go RED team - a.k.a. the SPARTANS :love:

    This challenge is super exciting! I can't wait to make some progress for the first weigh-in on Friday. We should ALL make good progress if we're burning our 500 calories daily, right?:blushing:
