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 NOVEMBER. 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 all! I’m new this month so thought I’d post a quick introduction. I’m 29 and started losing weight last September when I saw the scale hit 190 (which was a huge wake up call for me!). I did really well for awhile and lost 50 lbs. I even signed up for and completed my first half-marathon. But in the last months of training for my half I really fell off the wagon with my diet and gained back 15 lbs
so now I’m back on MFP (with a new account, I couldn’t remember any of the stuff for my old one) and hoping to lose 35 lbs before my next half in April! I mostly workout at home using Beachbody on Demand but when it’s cold I’ll use the little gym in my apartment complex. I have asthma triggered by the cold weather so running out in the snow is a no-go for me. And I have a 9 year old lab mix who is my world and keeps me moving around during the day!
I’m really excited to be a part of this challenge with you all!5 -
Hey everyone! Glad to be back. Was gone for approximately a year, but I did manage to maintain-ish. I only gained 5-10 lbs depending on the day. Broke up with the boyfriend 2 weeks ago after a year of being treated like poo. Here to lose the remaining 90-100 lbs. Broke out my indoor rower and got the fridge stocked appropriately! Here's to November being a great month for us all!7

Here is to us kicking butt in November!!! 💪💪👍👍👏👏0 -
Hi, everyone! I'd like to give you a bit of history. I'm a runner. I had foot surgery in December. I didn't run for 14 months (beginning August 2018). I got depressed, unmotivated and pissed off and gained 12 pounds. I know it's not a lot, but I need help staying on track and keeping motivated. I recently started running again more consistently but it's my eating habits that have gone through the roof. Chocolate at work, snacks at night watching the tube, wine, wine, wine, etc.. I just want to feel like myself again. Good luck everyone! We've got this!2

@Shortgirlrunning I was supposed to do my first half marathon in October 2018 and couldn't because of my foot, then didn't this October because I couldn't run that far and out of shape. Kudos to you for doing it!

oh, and I'm 55 so losing weight is way harder now than when I was younger

@carolynsivik - that’s such a bummer about your foot! Are you going to try to do half again? You should! I definitely wasn’t in-shape when I did mine, I think I was even still in the obese BMI range.1

Morning team! We are thrilled you joined our group and welcome back my fellow teammates! 🙌🙌
I am Sally and happy to be your Co-Captain/Motivator along with my friend Greg @Navydaddjtc (also he is the group owner)! 💃💃💃
I love Workout 🏋️♀️ Warriors, MyFitnessPal and the support of friends. Last December I was looking at photos from Thanksgiving and I wasn’t happy with what I saw. I didn’t like how I looked, however, more importantly I didn’t like how I felt. I knew it was time for change. January started with “dry January”, Barre and healthy diet. I didn’t see initially the pounds flying off like they did in my 20’s, I was frustrated, however, I knew it would take time. The pounds started coming off. I give a lot of credit to MyFitnessPal of the support and encouragement!! I knew I wouldn’t quit! Knowing the holidays are coming up I will stay focused and thankful we have each other for support and accountability. We have fun upcoming challenges to keep us motivated!
Treat let’s kick it in November! 🦃🍁🍃🍂 🦃🍁🍃🍂 🦃🍁🍃🍂 🦃🍁🍃🍂
Let’s feel great from the inside out! 👍👍👍
If you have any questions or anything, please feel free to reach out. 🙌🙌🙌
Still love emojis, LOL. 😂 😆

Welcome to the team 🙌. Sorry, about your foot, it’s frustrating having an injury as a setback. We have this together, let’s kick butt In November.
Something to think about for November for all new teammates along with my fellow pals. Setting goals for the week and sharing daily your results with the team. It helps me stay accountable. I send results out to the team. 👍

Know What 150 Calories of Candy Looks Like
This is a relatively harmless amount to enjoy. But it’s easy to overdo it with those “fun size” treats. Keep this list from Shape.com in mind: 150 calories is approximately three mini York Peppermint Patties, two fun-size packages of milk chocolate M&Ms, six mini Musketeers, six rolls of Smarties, seven Hershey’s Kisses, and five snack-size Twizzler twists. Another smart trick: Leave the used candy wrappers in your eyesight (on your desk at work, the kitchen counter, etc.) Research shows that you eat less when you can see evidence of the damage you’ve done.

Hello Team--My name is Amy. This is my first month with Workout Warriors. I am excited to be here. This past March I joined a MFP weight loss team challenge and lost 40 pounds. With that said I have been stalled the past couple of months bouncing back and forth 5 pounds either direction. Sooooo, I thought I needed a change of scenery maybe try a different challenge group. Fitness327wk and Slimn2016 were both on my previous team. I always enjoyed their comments and support, so I followed them over here to stay motivated. I have 20 pounds to go before I start maintenance.
Some of my goals:
3 lb weight loss for November
Drink 100 oz of water daily
90 minutes of exercise daily
11,000 steps daily
Let's go Workout Warriors!!!

My daily goals (10/30)
1. 10,000 steps ✅ 10778
2. Calories < 1500 ✅ 1417
3. 30 min exercise ✅ 30
4. Log all food ✅3 -
Hello Warriors!
My name is Kai and I'm a homeschooling mom of three teenagers. I have been overweight for most of my life and after having trouble getting out of bed in December I finally decided to get serious about losing weight. I've tried many diets in the past, but all of them failed, usually within the first month. Before joining MFP the most I ever lost was maybe 15 pounds and my longest diet lasted maybe two months. When I started MFP I was at my highest weight ever 382 pounds and I walked a meger 500 steps a day. I am now closing in on 100 pounds lost for this year, and I get in a sad, but for me respectable 4000 steps a day minimum, many days though see me at between 6 and 8k.
My goals for this month
-Push the speed on my exercise bike and work toward getting to moderate effort for 40 solid minutes. I can hit 40 minutes on light, and 25 at moderate right now.
-Lose at least 5 pounds, but I'm hopeful of 86 -
My goals for this month are:
Row 39,000 meters for the month increasing each week by 500m (First week: 2500m x 3 days, Second week: 3000m x 3 days, Third week: 3500m x 3 days, Fourth week: 4,000m x 3 days)
Stay on plan everyday but Thanksgiving.
Drink 64 oz of water a day.
