FANTASTIC! Will you move to the non- loss part of the squad now? You maintain and still record your weight weekly, but any gains or losses are not part of the team totals. If you put any pounds back on you can always return to the weekly losers part of the team! Hopefully you'll keep posting and doing challenges, etc.0 -

Still lots of water I guess.
Hmm, I think I am confused. The week starts on Sunday, I have been thinking on Monday - so was my post for week 5?1 -

Yes, it is week 5 as of Sunday. It took me a while to get used to that as well!1 -

It is almost FEBRUARY! The days are getting longer, there is more time for stepping, right?
We need to make sure to enter 12 team members for the steps challenge for next month. Who is still in? Who wants in? Who wants out? Let me know!
current team:
@Astrue
@AmyHammons1
@BMcC9
@Offitgoes
@sue_01
@kkmark
@GettingFitTash
@mari_moulin
@evangsimmons170
@Andreabroadley
@Miki48
Not everyone has kept tracking all the way through, so we are going to need more team members who will commit to the month (a nice short one!) of tracking steps every day.
I am in. I know I don't walk as much in winter, and I wish there was a way to count every step in snowshoes as at least double, but I want to do this.
Let's try to beat those fanatics in Team WeightNoMore! Heck, let's try to get out of last place!1 -

I am still in the stepping challenge. Although I do not get high numbers. I was slow to post end of last week, I will be more prompt this month.1

I will keep with the stepping for February.1

Anyone feel like stepping up to be either fitness motivator or general motivator? It's always fun to have someone around pushing and kicking some hind ends!0

Hi Everyone ...
I have volunteered to be the 'fitness motivator' for our group. Not exactly sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure that it does NOT mean "drill sergeant"
To get started, I would like to hear from all of you. I have two questions for you ...
1. What role does fitness currently play in your efforts to lose weight/establish a lifestyle change?
2. What could I do in my role of "fitness motivator" that would be helpful for the group?

1. What role does fitness currently play in your efforts to lose weight/establish a lifestyle change? My husband & I have started entering race events like the New Town Triathlon (as a team). Helps us stay on track & gives me a fun goal to focus on.
2. What could I do in my role of "fitness motivator" that would be helpful for the group? Hmmm, I already find being on this team motivating. Enjoying everyone’s journey and I don’t want to let the team down.

Having trouble fitting exercise into a busy schedule? Don't like the idea of going to a gym? Not sure where to start?
Check out this resource for beginner workouts you can do at home. There is a nice variety here so you can find something that fits what you need ... or mix them up for variety.

Hi Everyone ...
I have volunteered to be the 'fitness motivator' for our group. Not exactly sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure that it does NOT mean "drill sergeant"
To get started, I would like to hear from all of you. I have two questions for you ...
1. What role does fitness currently play in your efforts to lose weight/establish a lifestyle change? I have been playing my exergame for years now - incorporating the mini-trampoline upped the game (the first one was a free-to-me rescue from a neighbour's curb / it finally gave up the ghost and I bought a brand-new replacement late last week) Now that I am into trying to lower the body fat % numbers by incorporating HIIT sessions on my exercise bike (currently up to back-to-back 5 minute sessions so that 10 minutes = 30 second low / 30 second high pairs) the exergame may turn into my "active lifestyle activity" rather than my "primary". But the game is the only way I have to count steps ..... so not likely to drop it all together
2. What could I do in my role of "fitness motivator" that would be helpful for the group?
Possibilities:- Only if someone ASKS you .... Friend them on their wall so you can give encouraging wall-posts when you see their exercise log info / ask how it's going if you don't see an exercise log post for several days. Put a cap on this if you need to number-wise. I don't know how many Friends you already have on your wall. You Aren't a Personal Drill Sergeant!
- Set in-group Weekly Fitness-themed Posting Challenges (sorta) for things like
- "try out 3 or more of the beginner workouts here and vote for your fave. [hyperlink to the article you posted]" Post voting results at the end of the week
- "Give daily examples of the NEAT "commando sneak-attack" calories you burned" Recap at end of the week (NB: I can point you at two MFP threads that could be referenced and that have LOTS of examples of NEAT
- "Post exercise / activity difficulties you face (time or physical or mental/motivational) / offer suggestions and strategies to at least 2 other people .... Tell us what strategies you tried and how they worked out for you"
Stuff like that.
