    Sorry, looks like I have missed a little bit. So our team is now:

    Capt: Ralphcurt
    Timeforme23
    Femtec74
    karabobarra
    Neonpink
    susanb_16
    BeilaLin
    BroDave
    tbd 1
    tbd 2

    So we have 2 openings on our team. Let me know if you know anyone who would like to join us!

    What does the team think of changing the team name? I kinda like to keep the old name going. We are awesome and have the rest of the league scared of us. I say we keep the terror in place!

    Hey Ralph!

    I'm still in - I'm going on vacation for a week where I will have limited internet access, but I will keep up with the exercises and post everything when I get back (if that's ok). I'd like to stay in the group - it keeps me motivated.

    Are we changing the rest day/weigh in day to Wednesday?


    Starting weight 184.4


    I think we should keep our name!

    After looking at the challenges and realizing how I had a hard time in last month's challenge (just the last 2 weeks of Aug), I feel that I will be inconsistent with exercise and will not be able to CHARGE as much as I wanted to.

    I'm going to be doing more Yoga, more running (training for marathon), and STUDYING FOR GRE (Sept 25) so this challenge (along with my FOOD CHALLENGE which starts TODAY JOIN NOW ----> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/332112-team-weapons-of-mass-reduction-september-forum-1<---- ) will be too much for me.

    Backing out....

    sorry peeps!

    Thanks Ralphcurt for organizing it though!

    Good luck to all!

    Pygmy exercise complete. Food and water complete.
    Sorry but I can only log in the morning it's the only time I'll have Internet access all week. On a hiking/camping trip !! Getting lots of exercise this week ; )
    I never log my exercises on my food diary, so I was wondering for this callenge if I needed to start doing that or if just putting it here was fine.

    Hello Ralph!
    Thank you for getting back to me; yes I am very excited about the challenge for September. I was involved in the August Challenge. My weight as of today is 216 I have lost 35 lbs. since Jan. 2011. I am 57 years old; and have let this weight be a part of my life way too long. I have been married for 35 years. We have three children ages 32, 30, 24, and a 5 year old "grand"daughter. We had two dogs a lab who had to be put down in August due to health reasons; she was 15 years old and a bassett hound who is sad without his friend. I work full time as a Community Habiliation Manager in the mental health field, I've worked for the company 16 years. I am from Louisville, KY. Let me know if you need any more information.
