I would love to join!

I am interested in joining for July. My username is slgibbs1987

I'll be turning 30 in a little over two months. I would like to firmly establish healthy eating habits by then and have an active lifestyle! I am going to try and lose 20 pounds from now to then!

Hey everybody! I'm sorry I didn't get many minutes in this week. I really hate to let you guys down. It has been a very rough week. Plan to do a lot better this coming week. I did manage to complete the step challenge at least. Hope everyone has been doing well! :smile:

Hey everybody! Just checking in. Finished challenge 2 today. Was walking outside in 40 degree weather to get in my last mile. I'm sure my neighbors thought I was a bit crazy haha. Just glad I got it completed! Should be able to stay under calories today, which will make my 5/5 days under. Now time to catch up on answering…

Hey team!! Sorry I haven't been that active in the forum! I am really looking forward to the challenges this week! I did 2 videos yesterday and the rest of them this evening! So Challenge 1 is complete! I am going to try and walk outside during my lunch for the rest of the week. Whatever mileage I don't get in, I'll finish…

1. My name is Stephanie. I am 29 years old and single. 2. FAVORITE WAY TO EXERCISE: Just depends what I'm in the mood for. I think cardio exercise videos are my favorite. The exercise I do the most would be walking on the treadmill. I have also recently started adding strength training to my workouts! 3. WHERE YOU ARE FROM…

I joined a dietbet to lose 4% of my body weight. Lost 9 pounds so far and have about 8 more pounds to go. The challenge ends at the end of the month. I feel like I got this!

I turn 30 in August of this year. I would love to finally have control over my overall health. I hope to participate in a 5k this year. Continuously show my family and friends how much I love & appreciate them.

Hey team! Got all my minutes entered for the week. Did a 5k on the treadmill today and I plan to finish the Rokettes video here in a few moments! There is so much in my life I am thankful for. I am thankful for my family and friends, they do more for me than I truly deserve. Also, I am thank for all of you here on MFP. You…

Hey team! I started out with having motivation at the beginning of the week and by the middle I lost that motivation :/ I will not get the calorie challenge in unfortunately. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were all busts. Trying to do better with that for today and tomorrow even though I won't be able to get the challenge…

This week is going to be a better week for sure! Not saying last week was bad, it was just too busy. I'll be glad to get back into a routine this week. Like everyone else, I love the challenges this week. I am going to complete them all for sure! Going to walk outside at least 10 minutes on my lunch break everyday. I can…

Hey team! I'll be back home tomorrow evening and I should be able to input my times in then. I did not get that much exercise in this week. I am going to finish the arm challenge tomorrow and sadly that'll be the only challenge I'll get done. Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)

Got all the challenges done! Wooo! Also completed my personal goal of getting over 300 minutes! There were times this week I thought I wasn't going to make it but I pushed myself through. I plan on doing at least 300 minutes for next week again. This coming week is going to be a struggle for me because I'll be heading down…

Hey team! I have not done so well with eating the past two days which caused me to be over my calories. I have felt like in the evenings I have been nothing but hungry. My biggest problem was I allowed certain foods to be in the house that shouldn't have been. I only have two more days to go to be under calories for the…

Hey team! Got day 2 done for both the Rajio Taiso videos and staying under my calories! Also did 50 sumo squats today. I really love those little Rajio Taiso videos! I did it this morning and it really helped to wake me up! Also, I want to start using those videos as a warm up before I start exercising from now on. That is…

Did the 2 bonus videos this evening. Also, started challenge one by doing 2 of those videos! I am going to try and wake up early (I am NOT a morning person lol) and do a couple of those videos every morning for the rest of the week as well as get some squats in. And Day 1 of staying under calories complete.

Hey team!! Got all my minutes added to the spreadsheet. I have struggled with wanting to exercise these past couple of days. I usually just do the treadmill, but it bored me just thinking about it. So this evening I tried to set up a little circuit with doing the treadmill and also adding some different exercise videos. It…

Hey everybody! I did not exercise yesterday. I'm trying to make up for that today. Just finished doing the rest my step ups for the second challenge! In a few minutes I'm going to get on the treadmill and walk for about 30 minutes. Tonight is the last night for my no snacking challenge! So far so good! I'll add those on…

Hey team!! I'm working on my last two challenges now. Got 400 step ups so far. Also, I have been successful with not snacking in the evening! Today will be my 3/5. I only got 15 minutes of exercise in today. I think I am a little sore from doing the step ups yesterday and today. So I will count my little bit of activity…

Hey team!! Completed the dancing videos for challenge one and loved them! Now I really need to focus on the steps challenge. Hopefully I can get that done over the next couple of days. For the third challenge, I plan to stop eating/snacking after 9. Day 1 on that has been good so far!! & you are not alone @BJerzy ! I was…

Haha I cannot believe I did not notice him!! That is too funny. Guess I was waaay too focused on getting her moves down lol

Hey everybody! Got 50 minutes in on the treadmill tonight! Also Day 4 of Water Challenge Completed! One more day left for me and I will have all the challenges finished! I have loved drinking more water. First day was a little difficult, but after a while you get used to it! Of course your bladder never seems to get used…

Hey team! Did not get my exercise in today, but I did complete day 2 of the water challenge! I was wondering, does anybody know of a good water tracker app? I was trying to use MFP's but it was a little glitchy.

Did the chant video 3 times and the drumming videos 2 times each! Those were actually very fun exercises, something I will definitely do in the future! To complete that challenge, I still need to make up my own routine, which I plan to do tonight. Trying to think of a perfect song to do it to! Also started the water…

Hey everybody! Thanks for the adds so far, it helped to remind me that this challenge was getting started :) @MissionEnforcer My name is Stephanie I am 29 years old. I have always lived in Morganton, North Carolina. Lots of beautiful mountain scenery around my area! This is actually my second Amazing Race! I'm going to do…

I know she must have a lot on her plate with the April challenge ending and May one beginning! Hopefully she'll get around to announcing it sometime this week :)

We actually did win!! Congrats everyone! I am so proud to have been a part of this team :)

How did this challenge help you this month? Like everyone else, this challenge helped me to stay accountable! When I try losing weight on my own, it never works out well and I end up gaining it all back. So I want to thank everyone for their participation! You all have been such an encouragement to me to keep on continuing…

Hey team! Just submitted my weigh in and lost .6 pounds. I am thankful it was a loss because as I mentioned earlier, it's my TOM. I was hoping for a much bigger loss, but that's okay, I'll take it. Total, I lost 6 pounds. My goal was 10, but I'll gladly take 6. Just a couple of questions since we are at the end of the…
