Hi all...
So excited to have a group of new friends all going in the same direction with the same goals! Love it. Now that I have found this thread life is all Kumbayah.. I was a bit stressed that we would be out there on page 700 on the original thread. Is this where we post our dailies??? Sorry for the questions but it is a bit confusing.
Go White Team!!!
PS: Love the challenge! What am I going to do!!! Love it!!!!!10 -

Good Morning All.
Weighed in lost .5 pounds.
I am going to weigh in every day if it kills me.
Sit ups were in my sleep. 2 sets of 25. In my head I am thinking about how FLAT my stomach will be at the end of the week. HA!
I have a few events this week too.... I don't want to limit myself and only eat RABBIT food... ugh.. lots of walking and exercise I think.
Best to everyone. Hope all is well. Go White Team!0 -

Sorry - I posted on the main thread.
Here are my numbers:
SW: 138.6
GW: 133 (but would love to see 130!)
For the challenge - I'm going to try to NOT eat ALL my exercise points on a daily basis. I would like to leave some calories in the green!0 -
Good morning on Day 2!
Still waiting to hear from:
florencekane
katescleaning
jkmcfar1
All others here and accounted for!
For those who haven't already posted this, please provide your start weight, goal weight, and how you plan to meet the challenge for this week. I'm creating a spreadsheet, although I haven't yet figured out how to post it here.
Congrats to heidi for starting us off with a loss!
I'd like our team to have 100% accomplishment of this week's challenge, which is a great one! So choose something (1) measurable; (2) reasonable; and (3) attainable.
I'm still contemplating mine! May have to sneak onto some other threads to get some ideas.0 -
Great job ladies Let's win0

ok ladies, I'm here. Just didn't have a chance to do anything but log my breakfast & exercise for today before I left for work.
SW: 139

Good luck to all, I just know we can do this!!0 -
Don't you all wish there was a "LIKE" button on MFP?? I love what everyone says and want to respond right away...
Love this site!0 -
White Team,
I thought I would copy and paste this post from Satyrakk, who set up the May Challenge:
____________________________________________________________________________________
MAY CHALLENGE SPECIFICS
The goal of the month is to lose 5 pounds (or more) while staying accountable with our intake and calories spent throughout the month.
On the first, and then every Tuesday following, we will weigh and report to the group page (or original thread if group page not working).
On this page we will put on May 1:
1. Team COLOR
2. Current weight
3. Month's weight goal
There will also be available a "challenge" for the teams. By completing the challenge, each team will be able to earn bonus for weight loss or calories for the week.
During the week, team members should be in contact with other team members for encouragement and support. (Remember there are some people who value being anonymous, so if someone on your team is sticking just to weight loss/exercise and not sharing their life history, that is okay). Try to send encouragement to each team member as often as possible.
Every Tuesday after that we will log:
1. Team COLOR
2. May 1 weight
3. May 8 weight (and add a date to every week after 15, 22, 29)
4. weight difference*
5. Calories burned that week*
6. If you completed the challengE
Look for the challenge for the next week as you report!
Our wonderful stats/math people (thank you) will then take the information provided on the * spots and come up with team averages. Wednesday morning we will post the top five teams in each category with their numbers. We will post after the first week the winners for the week and the winners for the month totals... so every week your team has a new start!
(Team leads please let me know if there are any people on your team who are not participating so we will not average them into the statistics.)
Please note-
Calories burned should be only reported if it is actually caused by effort, sleeping with a heart rate monitor on and logging the time DOES NOT COUNT! If you have questions over what counts as calories, please discuss it with your team members. I trust you can work together to be honest in your reporting.
Second, remember we are in this for the long haul. Please be healthy. Eat at least 1200 calories and do not do any type of exercise that your doctor would not approve of.
Third, if you do not report, for whatever reason, you are out of the challenge. If you know you will be away from the computer all day on Tuesday, report on Monday.
I hope this is clear enough. We will see if the group sites are up (hopefully) for weigh in on Tuesday. If not, please put your info on the original thread.
Good luck to all! FIVE POUNDS FOREVER!!!0 -
SW: 157
GW: 152 or lower!!
I am adding an extra workout day and trying to stay a little below my calories this week.
Go White Team!!!!!0
