F2F-WLC CHALLENGES:
- - WEEKLY GROUP CHALLENGE (Challenges hosted by teams for the entire group)
- - MODERATOR'S CHALLENGE (Challenges hosted by the moderators of the group)
- - INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES (Challenges within teams themselves)
Team Weekly challenges will be announced in later communications
(Note:The team order for challenges follows the team order in the group standing sheet on the spreadsheets)
HOW OUR CHALLENGES WORK:
We have 4 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 JUNE. 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

Hi, June is my fifth month on the challenge, I'm Australian, mum to a 13 yr old.
I eat low-carb, moderate protein, moderate healthy fats, avoid processed and refined foods, and I do intermittent fasting. I have insulin resistance and am on Metformin, and a sluggish thyroid (no meds for thyroid, only supplements, so far).
Since joining this challenge and losing weight my sleep has improved (am no longer an epic snorer, for which my husband is grateful), I wake refreshed in the morning and have much better energy levels during the day. Stress can be an issue for me - my daughter has health issues and I am primary carer - however, I have stopped stress eating and am pretty good at sticking to my way of eating.
My stats:
169cm / 5'7'
40 years
Highest Weight: 263.5lbs/119.5kg (Sunday 27th January 2019)
June Challenge Start Weight: 210.1lbs /95.3kg (Monday, 27th May)
June Challenge Goal Weight: 200 lbs /90.7kg ( 24th June)
Additional June goals: keep up regular walking, strength training twice per week, incorporate 5 mins mindfulness daily.3 -
I think I have everyone together on the new XLS.
Here is the new chat we will start using on Sunday, feel free to give an intro of yourself.
Please let me know if I missed you or you want to change your weigh in day.

I’m really excited for June! I was gone for 13 days of May so couldn’t participate as much as I wanted in group activities except for weigh ins.
I use CICO and try to eat as healthy as I can, but don’t have anything I eliminate completely.
May 29th Weigh In 148.5
June 26th Goal is 143.x
Other goals is to introduce barre and yoga into my work out routines5 -
Hi, my name is Linda and I will be filling in as captain with @boehle for the month of June. I am a mother of three and a grandmother of 2 beautiful girls. I am married and on some days that feels like having another child. lol
I credit this challenge with helping me be successful. I faithfully log my food daily and have set my weight loss goal to 2 pounds a week. I hit a slight plateau in May but had a big whoosh this week. I do not eliminate any foods but fit them in my calorie goals. I am travelling to my beautiful home province of Newfoundland for the next for 4 weeks, so I will be dropping my weight loss goal to .5 pounds a week. For exercise, I walk. For the last while I have had a problem with my ears that was making me dizzy. I am on medication and it is feeling much better, so I will start walking more again.
Losing weight for me has been a life changer. I feel better physically and mentally. I am able to do more with my granddaughters which makes them happy. To the new people starting and returning challengers, I encourage you to participate in the weekly challenges. Set goals for yourself. Let us know your goals and if you want, share them. Update the group on how you are crushing them. We are here to help each other to succeed!

June goal weight: 217.04 -
Hello everyone. This is my second month as a part of the Shrinking Assets Team and I am STOKED for round 2! I think having this group to be accountable to has been really helpful and motivating.
Here is a bit about me.
Name: Megan
Age: 26
Location: Good Ole’ cheese loving Wisconsin!
CW: 137
GW: 125 - I can see the end in sight, but the last few lbs are SO HARD! By the end of June I want to be at 132lbs.
Hobbies: Horseback riding, running (I’m out of shape but ready to get back into it!), walking with my dog, listening to audio books, and binging TV shows (I’m really into Handmaids Tail right now).

Hello, I am Julie, and a captain with @lindamtuck2018 , who has been so helpful filling in for a long time captain @Beka3695 .
I had lost over 100 lbs, got lazy during a relationship and even lazier after a breakup; and put some weight back on.
I have 2 jobs (not counting the awesome job of being a mother to a teenage boy who will graduate next spring)
My main job, I work from home, so Junes goals are to run/jog every day on my hour lunch break and to start putting them in my half marathon journal.
I have a 5k in July that I want to fully run and hopefully even PR with 35 minutes.6 -
Hello everyone!
My name is Kristen. I am 33 years old and a mom of a 14 (15 in August) year old. I am a training assistant for a call center...so I have a very sedentary Monday - Friday.
During the weekends I am a completely different person as I am an adult leader of the local branch of Young Marines. I work with 10-20 kids between the ages of 8 and 18. We do Marine style physical fitness, 5ks, parade marching, ect. I used to sit on the sideline and just keep time/score, but over the last couple of months I have changed my mentality to...If I expect my kids to do it, I need to be able to do it too.
My current weight is 244.4lbs and my current end goal is to get to 200lbs so I can be considered for the Navy.
My personal goals for June is to get under 240lbs, have a daily step count of 5000, and to complete the challenges set forth here.
I am a pretty open book, so feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Good luck to everyone!6 -
Hello! 👋🏼
I’m Shelli; an American expat living in Hong Kong & SAH homeschooling mom to a 6yr old boy.
I’ve lost 45lbs so far in 2019, with another 45-55lbs to go. I stepped back last month because we were away for vacation... & during the final week of that we found out we’ll be moving internationally at the end of June. Surprise! So we are spending this month scrambling to get everything wrapped up for the relocation.
I’ll be on maintenance rather than actively losing until the dust settles, but I’m still here cheering you guys on!5 -

Hi! Was just assigned to your team! I'm really looking forward to learning from everyone here!
My name is Maia, and I started Keto weighing 320lbs on 2-11. I'm now at 300, and working towards losing -at minimum - 10lbs by the end of this month. My goal weight is 200lbs.
I have been moving back and forth between IF and OMD, because I'm told my body needs to be 'tricked' to get past the stalls and plateaus. Since being here, I've learned that alot of the info I was going by is wrong (or I simply misunderstood it), and the members have been really great at helping me straighten this out once and for all.
I'm a Mom of three C-section kids and a rouen-y, which means I am dealing with scar tissue along with belly fat, so I'm also taking choline and serrapeptase which has helped alot.
I'm also walking with WII, but I'm being careful because of my knees. Thanks for letting me join!2 -
Glad you’re here!! This is a great group!1

Hello Everyone!
I think I’m beginning my 5th month here and love the positivity, accountability, and overall support I see here. I’m a 53 yr old mother of 4 sons aged 18-26. I kinda let myself become less of a priority over the years and just didn’t watch my food intake. I’ve been working at this awhile and am down 50lbs. Only 25 more to go until goal. I’m a teacher so here in Ohio we are now out of school! Woo-Hoo!! I hope to begin walking more like I have in the past. Currently getting over the stomach flu. I feel like I was hit by a train! Looking forward to a beautiful June!2 -

Hi, my name is Pam. I am 60 and diabetic for the last 5 years. I was at my high weight of 264.5 in Feb 2019. I am now at 251.5 (May 27th). I like to weigh on Mondays. At my doctor check-up in April, my diabetic A1C was 8.5, which is not good. My doctor put the fear into me, and I am now working really hard on my diet and sorta hard on my fitness. I meet with a dietitian and together we have set up goals of a 1,500 calorie diet, and 1,700 mg sodium, as my blood pressure is also not so great. I only started my diet last week and plummeted 4 pounds, but am stalling this week as my diet catches up with my water weight loss. I also ride my hated exercise bike 30 minutes 6 x weekly. I have suffered from major depression my entire adult life, but it has greatly improved this year, enabling me to really focus on my health. I decided I don't want to die from diabetic complications, so I am finally taking my health seriously. I would like to lose 70 pounds, then set another goal. My June goals are to lose 4 to 6 pounds, stick with my bike riding, improve my blood sugar numbers, and dust off my Total Gym and give it a whirl by the end of June. I look forward to this month and to meeting all of you!!
One question - how do I find my way back to the Shrinking Assets page? I used the link the moderator gave me but don't know how to access normally. I am not very technological.3 -
Oh, I figured out how to get to this team chat page. Great set-up!3

Hi everyone, happy to be continuing for a second month with you all! May was not a good month but June is going to be better. I’m a Mum to two boys in New Zealand, it is just coming into our winter so I’m planning on making use of my treadmill this month.
I lead a crazy busy life and never made myself a priority, I can be organised with meal planning but emotional (including boredom) eating is a big problem for me.
One of my goals this month is to be more involved in the group, I am very reserved and struggle to share information about myself, I guess I think it’s not important or people won’t want to know about my life5 -

Morning,

Hi everyone. This is my first group challenge back from a long break due to being pregnant. I've lost 22 pounds since the initial baby weight came off. My goal is to lose .5-1lb per week now that I'm getting closer to my goal weight. My goal is 110 lbs (I'm 5'1"), but I'm not sure if I'll be happy at that weight (if I'll need to do some bulk/cut cycles or how I'll generally look). I'm currently 130 lbs. My highest weight was 167 lbs. Since starting to lose weight, I'm much happier when I look in the mirror. Instead of consistently gaining weight (I love good food and would never limit myself), I'm losing and it's making a big difference on my mindset.
I follow CICO, and eat lots of good food just in moderation.
Recent NSV: I buttoned up a pair of size 4 pants. They were way too tight in the waist area, but they buttoned...so it's only a matter of weeks until they'll actually fit! I'm excited to go "shopping" in my closet again. I have clothes from 5+ years ago that I held on to. I can't wait for them to fit again.5 -
Hi, can I correct my weight for last Monday, May 27th? I was just looking at the MFP Reports, and my weight last Monday, May 27th was 254, not 251.5. Sorry about that.1

Hello everyone,
I started my weight loss journey 5 years ago and lost 60lbs at the start but have been fighting with about 20 pounds ever since. I do really well for a few weeks and then seem to give up and gain most of the weight back that I recently lost I am hoping this challenge will help keep me motivated because even though I am doing this for myself, not having any outside support has been a detriment to me.
I am 32, live in Ontario Canada and I am a music teacher.
Highest weight 276
Current weight 216
Goal weight for June 210
Ultimate goal weight for now 174, this will change later but this number gets me out of the obese category and I believe in little steps.6 -

Hi! Very inspiring weight loss journey!
I am trying to reach my healthy weight since around 3 years. For me 2017 was very successful , lost 20+ lbs, got stronger. However didn't make much progress in 2018 just yoyo loss and gain of same 5-6 lbs. This year 2019 had to take a break for 3 months due to some personal reasons and when I finally weighed myself it was a shock! Gained 10 lbs!! Have to lose 30 lbs now. 😓😭1 -
