Go to this link and ask to be put on the wait list. You will most likely get put on a team. Probably mine!! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/114462-amazing-race-summer-heat

If you haven't already, join our amazing race! We're always needing people on our wait list. Just look for Amazing Race-Summer Heat under challenges.

Yay! Looks like more will be added to our teams!!! Terrific! Everyone who's added their name to our wait list: You will not be disappointed!!!!

This is my third Amazing Race challenge! They have all been terrific!!! Learn lots! Meet great people! Get fit! Got nothing to lose but the pounds! Please join us!!!

Yay Amazing Race-Summer Heat!!! Our spreadsheet moderator is a genius!!!! Let's hear it for MissionEnforcer!!! And let's hear it for Hawkins410 for creating such fantastic challenges!!!! Woot Woot!!!

Looking forward to having new people join this fun race!!! Highly recommend it! Really gets you moving!

This challenge is going to be fun!! All you've got to lose by joining are pounds and inches people!!!

Ok. That looks bad when the emoticons I added don't show up. I had some goofy faces emojis in there to lighten up that message. Geesh.

Not sure how many people are on my team right now (in addition to my former team mates from the previous challenge). But if you are ok with me touching base with you on a regular basis to keep you in the game, then ask to be put on my team. I say 'touching base ' but what I really mean is nagging you in the most respectful…

Joined and heading up a team for this one! Been in a few of these types of challenges and they are a blast! Have met people from around the world and discovered new ways to eat better and stay active! Highly recommend this group!!

Done

Thanks all! Olena just posted her stats on the spreadsheet and we have now officially made it to Mexico!!! Yay! Looking forward to keeping in touch with all of you over the summer! Can't wait for the next challenges and race! Stay well!

Team one just had a late poster, so we did actually make it to Mexico! Our points are now 990. Way to go everyone in this challenge! It was a pleasure doing the race with all of the teams.!!! Congrats to Team 6!!!! You rock!

Team one lost 3 players this week. We're sitting at 975 unless we have some stragglers chime in.

@gawworthington I've put your stats in Gayle. Great week! Well, with 3 no-shows this week, we are 196 miles shy of Mexico. Too bad. In any case, it was an absolute pleasure heading up this wonderfully amazing team. We managed to stay in first place throughout almost the entire race!!! We were definitely the team to beat…

Just read the article and watched the video accompanying it. Part of it makes sense but I feel they didn't explain enough about the type and amount of exercise the past contestants were doing following the show. Also, many of us know, we don't just eat when we're hungry. Suppressing our appetites is not always going to…

Has everyone finished entering their activity and challenge info onto the spreadsheet? Please let me know if you need me to enter anything else on your behalf. We're not exactly going out with a bang here ladies! Team 6 will be very pleased to finally beat us!

Hi! My name is Leanne. This will be my third challenge with Mel. She's terrific! I'm from Canada. I am needing to lose the dreaded last 10 pounds to reach my goal. Definitely been the most difficult to do after losing almost 60 lbs already. These challenges are a great way to stay motivated and to help others. Looking…

Sounds interesting! I'm in! Thanks Mel!

Hi Team! Sorry I've been MIA the last little while and sadly not very active. Knew this was going to be a weird week for me for various reasons. Just came home from the weight loss conference out of town where I received recognition for being 1st place winner for my weight loss in my category for the province. Quite the…

Nutritionally I have been more aware that all calories are not created equally! I plan to watch my sugar intake and have noticed the trigger sensation mentioned by previous contributors to this thread. I have stayed about the same, weight wise, but feel more toned with the different exercises and activities done throughout…

I would love to be a team liaison! Hope to have many of my same team members from team 1 in the spring challenge if possible! Gotta love those ladies!!! Hope we can reunite for this new challenge!

I agree! Thank you to a wonderful team that put up with my gently intended "nudging" during this challenge! I would love to lead this amazing team again if you'll have me! :p For the next team challenge, however, I was thinking of trying out an app I use with the parents of my students. It's a program where the parents…

Oops. Fitme2be should not be on my list above. Sorry.

@llmg970 I would count the approx time you walked while you were sightseeing. Especially if it was over and above your usual routine. Chicago sounds great! Enjoy the rest of your visit!

@berylw49 good for you on that ultra spin class! Glad this challenge helped you to keep up your ex routine. It's done that for me too. Haven't really seen a big change on the scale either. So thankful you are part of this team! Hope you'll join me on the next one!!! Love your input and support on this thread !

Team One still has 16 members. Our total for week 7 is 1212 points. Berylw49 Bm1409 Cjborkowski Cygrad03 Farmerpam1 Fitme2b Gawworthington Jazzypdx Khalley888 Lbenson2006 Leannev68 lsabeIIe Lulloa Lykkelig_o Melissasue0317 RoseTheWarrior Llmg970

Just had to say that Cheryl and Pam really rocked last week in the activity department! Wow! Look at those numbers!!! Way to go ladies! You have motivated me to step up my game! Excited to be off to Mexico! Love Mexican food! I know there isn't a recipe challenge here but I'll use any excuse to eat that food! I'm making…

So I have private messaged a few members to see if they plan on adding more info to last weeks challenge. I will wait until tomorrow evening to tabulate our total for week 7. Unfortunately it appears we have a couple of members who haven't logged in to MFP for 6 days. Hope we haven't lost them! Maybe if some of you would…

Looks great Melodie! Thanks again for another brilliant challenge this spring!! I really appreciate all the time and effort that you put into this for all of us!
