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

    Team Weight No More's Week One Challenge

    yi42hvghnixn.png


    I don't have time. I sit all day at the office. Excuses. That is all they are. If you want something bad enough you will figure out how to make it happen. I have learned that as long as I am moving, I am burning calories. It doesn't have to be a full 30 minutes. Even if you do just 5 minutes at a time it is better than 0 minutes. 5 minutes at a time thru out the day can add up to a really good workout. And likely the hardest part is just getting started. So come on.... Get up off that chair. Trust me, no one will care and you will definately not regret it.

    I have includes some posters of office friendly exercises. Anyone can do them. So come on... Lets do one poster a day. Then, go to your team thread and tell them how you did. There is something for everyone. No excuses. Everyone has 5 minutes. Lets start making being active a habit, even if we have an sedentary job. And captains, hold your team accountable. Ask them everyday, what they are doing to be more active. Lets change our lifestyle one day, one pose at a time.

    I apologize if I'm in the wrong place, but I'm still trying to figure out the MFP forum in general, and this group in particular. I don't know if I'm in the right place, but I think so. Do I need to post my starting weight and all that stuff here? How do I get started? Thanks in advance for being patient with me while I try to get plugged in. Just for emergency, I added this to my MFP bookmarks so I can quick reference it from now on.

    You are in the right place. You post your weight on the day you designated as your weigh in day. I think they took the weight you posted in the June page as your starting weight, right @jessicakrall8 ???

    Week 1
    Sunday
    PW: 199.8
    CW: 201.4
    And here I thought I was doing okay this week. It's hot, I'm extra dehydrated (trying to remember to drink stuff), and ice cream is tasty.

I just gotta stay away from the Chinese buffet two miles from my house and eat at home...that's my theme this month...air fry it and don't eat out! We can do it Schlerin!!! ok, explain your username...why schlerin? I sense a story here...

    Sorry to say no good story. I was setting up a free email account way back when and all the names I tried were taken. If you type in your name, two words and a couple numbers it generates a user name for you. This is the best one that popped up and it stuck! I think my three words were school, work, Erin.

    Ok. I'm in! I'm going to say 4 pounds. There will be some ups and downs as I am close to goal!


    Ok. Now for the wordy explanation of my goal. I'm aiming for half pound a week loss BUT I weighed in high last week and it was really just a one day anomaly. So today I am 2 pounds lower than my official July start weight, so my goal is really the 2 pounds that I've basically already lost plus 2 new ones! Let's do this!
