    SO I do have to ask. Where did the name "Team Yellow" come from. I am assuming a measuring tape?
    Actually the name came from the original Challenge group, but as I was reading through the thread for that one they werent letting people join and I dont see why we cant have millions join its a group to keep motivated... so me and MINDY branched out alttle and are welcoming one and all =)

    Hello!
    I'm getting really quite obsessed with mfp so why not join the community eh!

    My name's Sahra, (pronounced sara, my dad said it would be more interesting- it's just lead to people mispronouncing it and questioning my ethnicity!) I'm a first year chemistry undergraduate and I basically want to be thin and pretty. I'm an avid swimmer but have been struck by this hideous cold so I haven't been in a few days- hopefully it'll go soon, who knows. I love learning, pets and music and have a very unpredictable relationship with food. I love cooking and baking but rarely cook as the kitchen in my halls is full of this one guys washing up and it stresses me out. If he leaves my wok dirty again I swear....!
    Ahem anyway, lets do this thing! Oh and yellow is like, my favourite colour.

    SW May 1st 2012 130lbs
    GW May 31st 2012 125lbs

    Calories eaten 5/1/12 =
    Calories burned 5/1/12 =
    Water drank 5/1/12 =

    My name is Ashley. I live just north of Portland, OR, with my wonderful husband and two adorable dogs. I am an accountant so I spend most of my time sitting at a desk. It kind of seems like my weight snuck up on me! But after gaining 5-ish pounds a year for the last 6 years I decided it was time to change!

    So in February I started C25k and going to bootcamp twice a week. I have been a MFP member for over a year, but just got serious about it in the last few months. My heaviest weight was 178.0 in early February 2012. Now I go to bootcamp or circuit training 6 days a week and I am hoping to run my first 5k in June.

    SW: May 1st - 170.0
    GW: May 31st - 160.0

    Calories eaten 5/1/12 =
    Calories burned 5/1/12 = 398
    Water drank 5/1/12 =

    Hi, I'm Sonya and I've been trying to lose 30lbs for over a year now. I really just want to lose the weight and then just live a healthy and active life. My motivation is not only to lose weight but to tone up and be ready for when I FINALLY get pregnant. I live in West Coast Florida, with my fiance, two dogs and a cat. I love reading, writing and arithmetic. JUST KIDDING! I couldn't resist, I do love all the above things but I'm trying to branch out and do more outdoor activities like kayaking and I really want to go zip lining somewhere. LOL My goal is to learn rock climbing (weird considering my extreme fear of heights or rather my fear falling from great heights.)

    Challenge: Today I'm going to my first P90X Plyometrics with a group. We are going to attempt to do this outside, unless it rains I guess.

    SW 161
    GW 155

    My day isn't over yet, but so far:

    Food - 345 calories
    Burned - not sure yet
    Water - 40ozs (i'm shooting for 84oz/day)

    Hey, I'm Nessii. I'm used to being 133 lbs but over the last couple of years i've let myself go and i am now 155 lbs. My long term goal is to get back down to 133. I've started Zumba and gym classes. As for trying something new that's good for my health i am going to cut out carbs for this month.
