F2F-WLC CHALLENGES:

- - MODERATOR'S CHALLENGE (Challenges hosted by the moderators of the group)
- - INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES (Challenges within teams themselves)

This Month’s Weekly Team Challenges provided by: (Team captains, please be ready with each weeks challenge...)
Week 1 – Team SHRINKING ASSETS
Week 2 - Team WORKOUT WARRIORS
Week 3 - Team MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES
Week 4 - Team TRIMSTONES

(Note:The team order for challenges follows the team order in the group standing sheet on the spreadsheets)

HOW OUR CHALLENGES WORK:
We have 3 total possible challenges and NONE are mandatory. Our challengers can do none or all it's up to them. So we have...

The F2F Weekly TEAM Challenge - posted each week on Sunday in the announcements by the team who is assigned that particular week (see above for your week). This is for the F2F Group as a whole.

F2F Moderators Challenge/Topic of the week - This challenge is provided each week in the announcements area. One of the moderators will either provide a challenge that will involve anything fitness, health, and nutrition.

Individual Team challenges - these are challenge done within your own team. You can chose daily, weekly, or monthly challenges (weekly seems to work best). You can make this whatever you wish as long as it's health and fitness related.

Note: If for some reason your team is unable to provide the weekly challenge please let me know ahead of time so another team can take your place or so I can provide the challenge.

Good Luck Teams: Please let us know if there is anything wrong or if you notice something that needs to be fixed or modified. Everything seems ready to go for FEBRUARY. Registrations are almost done and we have quite a few new challengers. Make sure you are going into your new team threads to welcome anyone who has started posting. Let’s make our newbies feel welcome and show them some F2F love!!
THANKS YOUR MODS

    THANKS TO @MARI AND @Beka3695
    FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD AND TIME CONSUMING WORK YOU DID IN MY ABSENCE.

    I AM TRYING TO GET MY HEALTH BACK IN ORDER AND BETWEEN TESTS AND APPOINTMENT IT WAS A STRUGGLE FOR ME KEEP UP WITH IT ALL. I WAS ASKED TO STEP BACK THIS MONTH FOR THE REGISTRATION PROCESS WHILE MY BODY, MY DOC'S AND I FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG.

    TESTING IS DONE RESULTS ARE IN...... SOME GOOD SOME NOT SO GOOD....REFERRALS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE APPROPRIATE SPECIALISTS SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AS OF NOW.

    I WILL STILL WILL HANDLE THE WARRIORS ALONG WITH STEVE. THAT'S NOT A BIG THING AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT NO PROBLEM.

    I AM A WARRIOR AND A NAVY MAN AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP. IT'S NOT IN A WARRIORS DNA OR VOCABULARY TO QUIT OR THROW IN THE TOWEL OR ANYTHING ELSE OF THAT NATURE. I WILL FIGHT THIS WITH THE INTENSITY I FOUGHT WITH BACK ION THE DAY.

    IN CLOSING THANK YOU ALL FROM BOTH MARCIE AND MYSELF FOR THE WELL WISHES AND CONTINUED SUPPORT.
    GREG, MARCIE AND SHADOW X-117

    @cyndiesstuff and @sleepymom5 - I am not sure if this will work but here is a link that may take you to episode 92. I have listened to much of the first 20 episodes and enjoyed her. Episode 92 was so very good for me to hear.

    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/losing-100-pounds-phit-n-phat-real-diet-talk-from-someone/id1233384453?mt=2&i=1000427439656

    Edited to add: I am not part of this program and am not recommending this program. I just have found many of the podcasts very helpful along my journey. Also - lots of f bombs, in case that is offensive to you.

    Slowly getting into the swing of things. I need to get the snacking under control. Today we are going to the cheesecake factory for dinner. Shannon is looking at the menu so I am going to be lazy and just get what she does Lol! We are going for my son's birthday or else I would change where we are going. Tomorrow is my first day at work so I won't be here in the morning unless I get up super early. I am going to see how it goes... Have a great day everyone!!
    @bbcbw Nice loss!
    @cyndiesstuff Don't let ED get you down, keep fighting! You are worth it!!
    @phoebe11247 It worked! I did see that podcast but it was under another name. Thanks for posting it!

    Who do I want to be when I get to my goal weight? Who will I be? I certainly will not be the same person I am now. A lot of who I am now is unhealthy. I am going to be healthy. I will be someone who enjoys activity. I will prep food and prepare healthy meals.

    Who will you be when you get to your goal weight?

    I am heading out to the Cheesecake Factory and tomorrow I start my new job so I am not sure if I will get on here tonight. Wish me luck.

    Can I wear black pants tucked into black boots with a blazer for business casual? Or no tucking pants into boots...Scrubs were so easy...

    @nstephenson01 I LOVE Brittany spaniels! My dad bred and trained them for hunting. They are the sweetest dogs!

    Happy February, everyone! I'm Casey, I'm 42, mom of 2 boys, ages 17 and 11, and my hubs and I are coming up on our 20th anniversary in May. I've been on MFP since 2012 and have managed to gain weight every year instead of lose. I've been in a constant cycle of re-dedicate, lose a little, plateau, get frustrated, give up, gain more, then back to step 1. I joined this group for the January challenge and so far have lost 6 lbs of my 20 lb goal. I love the accountability and support here, and it's so great reading through your battles and your wins and knowing that we're not alone on this journey.

    February Goal:

    Get to a 10lb total loss.
    Control my afternoon snacking
    Keep doing daily yoga.

    @GingerPwr Yay another Brittany lover!! They’re a great breed. My husband hunted with our two for years but now they’re retired couch potatoes. You had a really successful January and I believe you’ve got the momentum to have a fantastic February!!

    Good luck!! Can’t wait to hear all about your first day!

    The tucked in black boots all depends on how strict they are, I might not do that on day 1. Is there a Friday casual day? Maybe wear some nice shoes on day 1.
