    WEEKLY WEIGH IN: I want you to either post your weight in here or message me if you don't want it seen by everyone. It needs done either Sunday night or Monday morning. You choose.

    We earn 1 point for every pound our team loses.

    THANK YOU!!!

    Hi Judy that list is a preview of week 2 and the squat kicks come on Monday. Today is 25 squat lunges. I will post on your profile incase you don't see this soon. Have a wonderful day!!!

    Also I will be keeping Diana Nyad in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow as she starts her 103 mile swim from Cuba to Florida with no shark cage. And we think this challenge is tough.

    Wanted to introduce myself! Just joined the team on Thursday!

    I am the Director of a Prayer House-where people can come and receive prayer 6 days a week. I'm a makeup artist, costume designer, own my own jewelry business and my hubby just directed a movie that is coming out in the fall/winter.
    With that said, I have essentially put my health on the back burner for years. I've been too proud to ask for any help and embarrassed that I needed to. Wow... that was hard to write. My life has always been about helping others but somewhere I got lost in that.

    I AM SO THANKFUL TO FIND MFP. I plan to make the very most of it. One the first day of logging, I was eating pizza rolls. Today I have logged more fruits and veggies than I thought possible.

    Regarding my profile name... People have told me since my teens that I look like Wonder Woman. It is a great compliment but also very humbling and sad to me as I look more like her 'plump daughter'... But that is about to change! I will not be sad to hear people mention Wonder Woman to me anymore! :)

    ~~Heather... the EMERGING Wonder Woman!

    Ty for the kind words Robbie, very sweet of you! Just trying to be available to everyone. Sadly, I wish I could offer the same to our 3 teammates who are outside the US.

    Wow Heather you are one busy lady!! Sounds like you have a very exciting and fulfilling life! So thrilled to have you on our team now!!!

    Elana I deeply appreciate your positive attitude. TY so much!!! You will go far in life with a spirit like you have! Don't ever lose it!

    I did the squat lunges today too team BUT I added 3 pound weights in each hand as I did them to push myself harder.

    I will be under calories today and of course drank around 1.5 gallons of water today.

    Elana we will officially start the miles on Monday and I hope and pray that everyone will pitch in for us to reach 100 next week.

    Oh Sherri I am soooo happy for you!!! That is such incredible news to hear!!! I love hearing it, I just can't tell you how much!!!

    REMEMBER: I want everyone thinking about how many miles than can commit to next week PLUS we all have to post a favorite recipe in our forum WITH THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE. Read Gary's rules below please:

    Each team must coordinate a 100 mile walk, run, jog outside of their normal running jogging. You will need to volunteer how much you can walk. If the team does accomplish the 100 mile challenge they will be
    rewarded with 5 bonus point. In addition to the 100 mile walk each team member must submit their
    favorite recipe to the group forum, along with the nutritional value. If someone submits your favorite
    you must find another recipe to submit.

    I have been asked for a current list of our team. Well here it is. People who have left us and dropped out are no longer on the list. Sooo this is who we have now. 2 people on the list have been MIA this entire week. I have reached out to them and if I don't hear back by the beginning of this week, sigh, I'm just moving on. Now don't sit there thinking... is she talking about me.. does she mean me. You know who you are if you signed up on day one and have done nothing yet. Missing a day here or there is NOT what I'm talking about. If you are one of those people then for goodness sakes reach out to me, I'm the most understanding person you will ever meet! HUGS!!!!!

    Squat lunges - done
    Water - done
    Calories - under goal

    I added an extra mile to my walking routine today in preparation for next week. I haven't put my workout routine on paper since it hasn't really been routine. I need to do that so I can see where to add in the extra mileage. I figure if I can go three miles instead of two each time I'm walking and working toward jogging, it's a step closer to beginning my 5K training. :-)

    I'm also doing some recipe research. I have several favorites, but need to gather nutritional value.
