in Challenges
Hi, my name is Josh I'm 35 and am very out of shape. My daughter just turned 8 years old and I'm afraid of not being around to see her grow up. So I divided to join this and give my weight lose a real chance. Interested in any advice, would love to join a challenge or just make some friends on the same path as I am.

    Hi if you have a Fitbit you could join in on some walking challenges with us. That’s all I’m doing at the moment but need to step it up a bit

    Hi @joshuabennett1893,
    I saw that you created this "Challenge". The various categories (of which Challenge is but one) are worth perusing. They all contain discussions on topics of interest: health, fitness, nutrition, etc.

    I don't know how much weight you want to lose, but you might find the Biggest Loser Challenge rewarding. They go month to month, so June will be opening up in a week or so. When you join, you get put on one of five teams. Each team has it's own discussion thread. You post your weight in your teams' thread on a weekly basis (on whatever day of the week you choose). They enter everyone's weight in a spreadsheet and announce the "biggest losers" weekly and monthly, for each team individually as well as for all teams combined. I've done it for several months now.
    For example, this is my team's thread for May, and this is the backing spreadsheet.

    Hey Josh, I’m 33 and my daughter is also 8. I’m partly here because she moves faster than me on walks 😬😬 I’ll add you as a friend! Best of luck to you, we can do this!
