    Hi Guys!

    Our last new member is : [link]http://www.myfitnesspal.com/teneisham[\link]

    (if anyone knows how to fix this link PLEASE let me know! John - I see you did a link correctly, so if you could share your secret i'd be greatful!!!

    I'm a little crazy at work today. I'm updating the main header with our new members this afternoon, and hopefully kim (kdmallon) can update our team signature and re-post so our new members names are on there!

    As a team, we're short 1 person, but now that the challenge is based on the percentage of weight loss, instead of points per pound, it shouldn't hurt us!

    GO TEAM SKINNY!!!

    ~Your Captain

    k my goal today is to get another 2 miles in for the 10 miles this week I suggested. I am so tired. I work from 9am to 6pm. So I either get up at 530am to workout or like today it will be 930. Adjusting to this new job of mine as really really been hard. Why can't I just be a girl with a very high metabolism. I look at my hubby since hes been working out for the last 3 years he can eat whatever he wants and not gain. I think my weight will always be a challenge. K I am done venting.

    GO SKINNY'S!!!!!

    Hello! Thank you for the invite to be a part of the group! I love keeping motivated and this looks like a great way to stay in check!!

    My name is Share and I am desperately trying to lose another 10lbs. I seem to be gaining a lot of muscle lately in my arms and back but my belly fat is ridiculously stubborn and not going anywhere!

    Finished with the exercise challenge today :) No miles to add to my 2 for the team challenge yet... I've got to go get ready for another appointment. Hoping tomorrow isn't rainy so I can hit the bike trail and do those last 8 miles for my team. How is our team challenge coming? Just curious! :)

    Hope everyones having a good day!

    Do wii miles count? I don't understand why I can run in place for 30 min straight without stopping but on the track or the road I can't seem to go for longer than 1/4 mile without having to walk to slow my heart rate down.

    Got 7 miles done today! 4 at work on the treadmill then an extra 3 miles after I got home and finished my P90X video, I am so beat.

    Going for 4 more tomorrow (probably not another 7, haha).

    That is awesome! Team player :) I'm probably going to do a bunch tomorrow, going to take my dads bike out on the trail for awhile and then come home and do some turbo jam... Dang I just realized I. Going to have to get up early for this.

    On another note water is done for the day! Exercises done and way under calories.. Might have a snack later but I'll be good and under calories still!

    Okay, I have a question for Day 5. 100 Stair climbs... what if you have no stairs to climb? I live in FL where everything is pretty flat and on one level. :blushing:

    I got 5 wii miles done! I wore my heart rate monitor and I burned 377 calories at 30 min with an average heart rate of 132 bpm which is 72% of my maximum (183 bmp) so I think it's a valid work out.
