    I am joining this group a little late buut have 10 weeks till Christmas and just started using "my fitness pal", even though I found it a few years ago. I love love the tracker. My goal is a pound a week, and that will take me to below 150, something I haven't seen in 2 years really.....So far I have lost about 3 lbs since I started, but my goal is 1 lb a week........

    Team Dashers... here is your mini challenge:

    50 bicep curls (please try and push yourself with the amount of weights you use)
    50 tricep extensions
    100 step ups
    take a 30 minute walk and enjoy the weather

    Oh and maybe lets try a new fruit or veggie that you never had before... its good to explore your options for healthy good food.
    Lets go team Dasher we lost last week so that means we really need to push ourselves this week. I know you guys can do it. Its crunch time cause Christmas is just around the corner... Please please drink your water cause it really makes a difference.

    Is it just me or is Team Dasher like non existent? I only see like 4 besides myself participating. If I message them to do the mini challenge and they do not do it; does that mean they are not participating? Could I get a head count by message of everyone who is on Team Dasher and participating so I know who I can choose for the mini challenges? Please. Thank you!!

    Ok. I started this challenge with y'all back in what was it? July? Well, life has been insane since then and a week or 2 vacation led to me missing months not only on MFP but also at the gym. I am happy to say that I did maintain and even lose a little weight during that time. My weigh-in this morning revealed 175 lbs which is an 8 lb loss from my last MFP weigh-in on July 11th! I'm very proud of that part anyway since I've only been able to watch intake an not exercise so much. During that crazy couple of months, we came home from vacation in PA, my 7 year old was admitted to the hospital for 8 days, then was out for 3 days and had to go back in. Then was out again for a week during which time he had a reaction to one of his meds and spent another night in the hospital, got out and went back to school and immediately got suspended. I'm now homeschooling him and have spent a month getting him on a schedule and working with his behaviors and am so excited to start back at the gym tomorrow! I will measure tomorrow morning, but it's good to be back!

    HI! Just a message for Team Rudolf!

    I have sent you all friend requests (those of you who weren't my friend already) so we can all keep up to date with each other for this challenge. We seem to be a little low on numbers so please log in and do the best you can! :)

    I'll ask someone to set tomorrow's mini challenge soon! :)

    I love Zumba! I am getting ready to go this morning and I think I will go ahead and take the night time class as well... if I feel good enough then I might take both night classes. I want to make my 1000 calories. I burn about 500 calories per class so two classes and I should be golden! I have the wii zumba game too. I am a zumba freak! It just makes me feel so good and its so fun. I don't really even feel like I am working out!

    ZUMBA!
