    Hey everyone!
    I am really excited to be beginning this challenge.
    I had a really successful summer losing weight and I have been slacking quite a bit. I know that this challenge will help motivate me to reach my goals this year.

    A little bit about me,
    I just turned 26 yesterday :)
    I have been happily married for over 3 year but have been with my husband since I was 15 :)
    I returned to school this year to finish my last year of the Social Work Program and I will be graduating in April with my Honours in Social Work. I am pretty excited to be accomplishing this goal.
    I have struggled with my weight since I was in grade school. I have been "skinny" once in my life before I met my husband. I have been trying to lose weight for the last 10 years but have actually just gained more weight each year :(. I am no longer focused on losing weight as much as I am focused on getting in shape and fit. My fitness goals are ulimately to lose weight, but I want to improve my health. I hope to start a family in the next few years and I want to be able to work out and be fit during my pregnancy as much as possible :)

    I look forward to meeting you all. I will start adding you, but feel free to add me as well!

    Yay team Orange!!

    As we know, I am your captain.
    I am hoping its more like a team challenge then me saying exactly what everyone needs to do

    We do need to figure out a team name, and who the co-captain will be.
    Any suggestions on either?
    I will be posting blogs soon, so lets put ours heads together.

    We also have a team challenge to turn in by december 31s, anyone know what theyd like their team challenge to be?

    Hello Team Orange!!! I'm very excited about this challenge - it will be my first MFP challenge. Can't wait to get started! Using a phrase that is common in my state (TN) Go Big Orange! :)

    Here are some facts about the color orange (THE best color)! Might be helpful in developing our team name - but I thought this was fun and interesting:

    "Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

    To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance."

    I will give it a try...hmm..tried it and it says that the image has been moved.

    When posting an image - you need to post IMG in small letters.

    I am not sure why it is saying the image has been moved unless you moved it/deleted it? Try re-adding maybe the photo to photobucket? Perhaps it is too big of a picture. I think it has to be resized to approximately 500 by 300 something?

    Woohoo Orange Team -- Sorry my response is a little delayed, they're laying the expectations on thick at work here before the end of the year---but I am super focused.

    And I need some ideas for low-impact workouts---my knees are killing me from C25k...and I'm super bummed!

    Hey everyone!
    Just checking in! I have my final exam tomorrow so I will be all done for Christmas. I am looking forward to getting back into a routine, especially as exercise is concerned.

    I noticed that we need to come up with our name, a co-captain and our first challenge and a picture by January 1, 2012.

    Any suggestions? I am not that creative so I have none :P

    Jayelle
