Hello to my old team! They needed a new captain so I won't be racing with you this time. I'll miss you and might have to check your posts to see how everyone is doing :smile: You are in good hands, @SmashleyM914 is a great captain!

Hello team! I'm excited to be your captain and keep our team motivated and moving toward first place. I've participated in several rounds of the Amazing Race and am happy that our team has a secret weapon, @GrandmaJackie . She joined my team part way through the last challenge and is amazing! With her help, we will have no…

Yahoo the challenge is posted! Can't wait to get going.

I'm hoping I can jump in. Luckily my Fitbit scale has my weight saved and after writing this, I'm feeling encouraged! FALL WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE 2016 (August September October) MY STARTING WEIGHT: 8/1/16 On Vacation 8/8/16 167.5 8/15/16 166.1 8/22/16 164.4 8/29/16 163.9 9/5/16 9/12/16 9/19/16 9/26/16 10/3/16 10/10/16…

I love the amazing race! This is such s fun way too stay motivated. Thanks for doing this challenge!

I guess I'm in twice :smile: Didn't realize I had signed up earlier!

I'm back for more fun! Excited to see how it works with singles :smile:

I'm so happy to read that the race will continue. I thought we'd have to wait until June but it looks like we won't, there are options to get us to the big June 20th race. Wonderful!

I'm so happy to hear the race will continue! I was panicking when I read that the race wouldn't start until June. I didn't know what I'd do until then. Thank you for your many hours of work. You are making the world a healthier place!

Through this challenge, I've learned I do much better when I know I'm accountable to more than just myself. Thank you for keeping me going! My accountability to me goal was to continue to decrease my sugar intake. I'm doing better but still have plenty of room to improve. I notice that when I allow myself a sugar day, I…

I'm doing no sugar again. Lucky I chose that one because I let my kids pick candy from the bulk section of Win Co and I would have sampled all of their bags if I hadn't started the challenge. I enjoyed veggie chips instead and was very happy! I'm walking on the treadmill right now with an 8 lb weight in a backpack. There…

I forgot to post what I did last week. I found a quinoa and kale salad recipe and ate it several times. It's one of my new favorites.

I made stuffed shells and snuck in spinach and blended cauliflower into the filing then topped them with a red sauce. My family didn't even notice the extra veggies!

SmashleyM914, we had similar weeks! I was up 3.5 lbs this week. Why do my kids keep opening new bags of Goldfish crackers? I can't stay away from them! I'm going to try no sugar again, that was really helpful last time and I'll follow your example and do my lowest weight for the exercise challenge. I've got a long run…

Back to the sugar challenge for me! Thanks for giving us a chance to bring it back. I know that's my biggest weak spot :blush:

I've learned 1. Having a community keeps me going :smile: Thanks everyone! 2. There are a lot of fun ways to exercise other than my favorites. 3. I'm addicted to sugar. My goals 1. Reach my goal weight. 2. Keep going with a decreased sugar intake.

I'm trying to be patient but I've been battling a nasty bug for a week now. I don't get sick very often and keep thinking I'm feeling better but am ending up with chills and a fever every night. I've talked to friends who've had the same symptoms and they say this goes on for 10 days and the cough for a month. No! At least…

I had family in town over Easter break and had a great time eating and playing! I'm ready to get serious again this week and see a decrease on the scale rather than the Easter candy increase I saw today :wink:

Any vegetables roasted in the oven. You can eat a bunch and don't have to worry about calories (unless you use a lot of oil) Asparagus, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, squash, zucchini, Yum! I love that they are easy to cook and I can eat them from my garden. Eating food I grow makes me so happy!

German Pancakes or Puff Pancakes 6 eggs 1 c milk 1 c Flour Blend in blender. Melt 1/3 cube butter in a 9x13 pan. Pour egg mixture over melted butter and bake at 400° for 18 min. Serve with jam or syrup.

The results from week #1 Team 1 562 Team 2 452 Team 8 444 Team 6 433 Team 3 394 Team 7 367 Team 5 356 Team 10 262 Team 4 254 Team 9 248 We are in the top 70% Not bad but provides a little incentive to work hard this weekend!

Keep up the good work! It's nice to have a good motivation to keep you going.

Yesterday was a great reminder of why eating healthy is a good idea. I'd made it 4 days without sugar and then rewarded myself with a sugar day and ended up making myself sick. I started with a big cookie after a long run and ended with a chocolate fountain at a wedding reception. I don't think sugar will be such a big…

So happy to hear I'm not alone with my Sugar Struggle :wink: Last time I went without sugar for longer than a couple of days I had a dream about eating sugar by the spoonful. No dreams yet but it's helping my calorie intake. It's easy to keep your calorie goal when you can't snack on anything sweet!

:smile: my problem was day one! I accidentally ate some candy while visiting my grandma and since I had messed up, I kept going and before the day was over, ended up eating ice cream out of the carton!

A walk is a great idea. I hope it gives you the energy to beat your cold!

Who knew I was so addicted to Sugar!!!??? This is a good challenge for me.

Looks like we need to post on a separate discussion about the no sugar challenge. We are to edit that post throughout the week. I can only see how to edit right after I post but then it seems to disappear. Any tips on how to edit an old post?

Hello team! I'm excited to be working with you for the next couple of months. I'm Shauna, age 40, mother of 5 children, married and living in Utah. I was part of Smashley M914 and change40's team in the last challenge and am excited for us to win again! I love running and love to cook. They go well together but don't help…
