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 OCTOBER. 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

    Sunday (Aus) Check-in
    Calories: well over
    Water: over
    Exercise: 10K steps including taking the dogs for a walk in the park

    I have realized that I need to handle my stress better, yesterday wasn't the best day and I could have handled it better. I overate waiting for a phone call.

    I know that I do better when everything is right in my world. Going back to work next week and I will spend to day putting some strategies together as I work in a environment that can be very stressful.

    @navydaddyjtc - Thank you so much for taking on ownership of the Fat2Fit challenge! We so appreciate the love and energy you put into this! πŸ₯°

    @Katmary71 and @raleighgirl09 - Congratulations on being on the Week 4 leaderboard! You have both been inspiring me with all your work on health and fitness. I am so glad that work is showing up on the scale for you! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‡πŸŽˆ

    @buniphuphu , @Katmary71 and @raleighgirl09 - Congratulations on being on the leaderboard for the entire month of September! Again, all of you are so inspiring! And yay, Slimpossibles! Our team is down 29 pounds for the month! Wow! πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

    @Kres567 - to follow up on a note of your at the end of the September discussion -- it's snowing already where you are? Wow! So, I live in central Texas. We are excited that fall is here. We can tell because the highs for the day are starting to be below 38C/100F. Woohoo! In fairness, this is not a suprise. Our latitude (distance from the equator) is about the same as that for Cairo, Egypt. So, yeah, no snow here yet! 🀣🀣🀣

    @TeresaW1020 - Wow! Thank you for taking on a Step Challenge for October! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ That is so generous of you! I'll play! My goal is 7500 steps/day. πŸ‘ŒπŸ––

    @Apple852hk and @digger61 - Good job holding steady this week! You are both down so much, and have both put so much into improving your health. Your persistence is inspiring! πŸ˜„

    @buniphuphu - Wow! What a great weigh-in! Looking at your post reminded me that you are down over 75 pounds now. How are you feeling? And are you suffering through the inconvenience of needing new clothes? 😎

    @ka97 - We understand about your needing to step away. Feel free to stop by to say hello anytime! πŸ€—πŸ‘

    @hinemoa2088 - Wow! Brilliant weigh-in! Congratulations! πŸ₯³

    @its_cleo - Congratulations on the happy number for your weigh-in! Okay, water 🌊 may be part of that, but we're delighted for you anyway! πŸŽ‰

    @TrishasTime - I am so impressed at your checking in and reflecting and making time to think about strategies for improvement this week. What a great way to react to having a day that did not go as well as you wanted! πŸ‘πŸ½

    Hello everyone!!! I’m so excited for a new month and for us all to move closer to our goals. Welcome to our new members - and welcome back to returning members!! :)

    I am Teresa a Slimpossible captain along with captain Mark(@broncobuddee). Team leadership also includes our awesome motivator @AustinRuadhain. <3 We are looking for one more Motivator. If you are interested please message myself or @broncobuddee. I know a few of you who would fit the role perfectly! B)

    Here are some pointers to get our new team members started:


    1) Weigh-ins

    Moderators have already posted instructions on the weigh-ins but as a reminder on your weigh-in day please post your weight in the following format:
    Username: (Your MFP username)
    Weigh in week: (The week you are entering your weight for ex. Week 4)
    Weigh in day: (The day you weigh in each week. Sat-Fri)
    Previous Weight: (The last weight you entered)
    Todays Weight: (Your weight on your chosen weigh in day)

    2) Check-ins

    Along with our weekly weigh ins, many team members also participate in daily check-ins. We recommend them as a way to stay accountable and provide the following information each day:

    Calories: over/under?
    Water: over/under?
    Exercise:
    Goals or Improvements for tomorrow:

    3) Challenges

    There are three each week and each is optional.
    Team Challenge - this is something the team captains post. We’ve fallen behind a little on these challenges with so many other things happening in the challenge. If you have any suggestions for challenges, please post here or send me a message.

    Group Challenge - this is a challenge sponsored by one of the teams across the group. Look for it to be posted either in our team discussion pages or in the main group page.

    Moderators Challenge - this is a challenge from one of the Moderators. Likewise, look for it to be posted within our team discussion pages or in the main group page.

    Your participation is key!! Have a success today? Share it! A challenge? Share it! A question? Please ask! Some else is likely to benefit from your participation.

    Finally, let's help welcome our new members with some introductions. Please share your name, where you live, how long you have been on MFP, and anything you want to share about your weight loss journey so far - successes, challenges, goals for the month.

    I’ll go ahead with introduction

    Hello, my name is Teresa! :) I’m a 53-year-old wife and mother to a fur baby named Maggie Mae. I am the ministry assistant at my church and a 3rd to 5th grade Sunday school teacher. My husband and I just recently sold our home and bought a new one and we are currently in the process of hanging pictures and trying to figure out where we put stuff.

    I’ve been a member of Team Slimpossibles for well over a year or so and just became one of the team captains last month. I am excited for the opportunity to serve this team and in the process try to keep myself motivated on my own weight loss.

    I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life and in 2017 got serious enough to join Weight Watchers. That lasted for over 2 years and I lost 50 lbs. in that time. I have another 40 or so to go and my current weight loss plan is intermittent fasting and Keto (with a carb day thrown in here and there). I usually work out on my treadmill but just signed up today for Beachbody and am looking forward to adding more to my workout routine and seeing what that does for me.

    As one of your captains, I promise to stay active in the group and do my best to keep you all motivated and committed to your health goals. I also think it would be a whole lot of fun if we continually beat all the other teams in most weight loss. Are you with me!! B)

    Sunday Check in:
    Calories: under
    Water: over
    Exercises: Just helping hubby hang more pictures and some dancing with the kids in children's church. :D

    Today, I got my workout room all ready to go!! My new treadmill arrives next week and I signed up today for the Beachbody on Demand. A friend told me it was soooo worth the cost so I'm going to give it a try. Does anyone use it? I'm going to start tomorrow when I come home from work with the 21 Day Fix. Pray, I don't kill myself! :D


    October Step Challenge

    So far I have @TrishasTime (10K steps), @Kres567 (when she gets her Fitbit), @mrmcgrath, @its_cleo (if she can use her phone as a tracker) and @raleighgirl09 (10,500 You go, girl!)

    Who else wants to join in? The challenge begins on Tuesday, October 1st and will run through the whole month. You record your total steps each day (or when you remember too ;) ) and I will keep track and update us all. I will also help to remind and keep us all motivated! Let's get fit and lose some weight this month!! B)
