Erin O'Brien. Always says just the right thing at the right time to keep you going.

Are any of you avoiding the Kettleball challenge because you don't have the equipment? I don't own a kettleball so I used one of my dumbbells instead. It's only 11 minutes long and not very many of us have posted completion of this challenge. Lots of do-able challenges this week. Let's take advantage!! Let's keep our…

By the way, took a sneak peek at some of the other team threads out there and we are definitely the team to beat. Some of those groups have really set their goals to beat us! I think that's great and only motivates me to try harder. What do you say?? Nothing like a little friendly competition to get us to step up our…

Sure Lesley. If I know that then I will hold off reporting our total until Tuesday. Just a reminder that anyone else in a similar situation is welcome to let me know. Also, I am very willing to enter data for you if necessary. Just message me or post it here.

Wowza! Gorgeous!

Team 1: Yay, Just heard back from Lulloa! She's still in! Still at 16 members and going strong!

Accountable: 1. Keeping in touch with my fabulous team while we support each other. Such amazing ladies! 2. Benefiting from the positive effect on mental outlook with more exercise. 3. The feeling of accomplishment after trying something new (activity/food/etc.) Need to work on: 4. Keeping my sugar intake down/increasing…

Team 1 members are the same as above. Waiting to hear back from Lulloa. (I knew she was on holidays and should be back by now. I would like to assume she will return. I have sent her a message and will see if I hear anything.)

Great job everyone! It's going to be tough for me to get in those miles too. Too many meetings this week. Really wintery here still, otherwise I probably wouldn't have any problem catching up this weekend. Will do my best! Have a great weekend all! Thanks for keeping up with your data entry on the spreadsheet!

Great job everyone! This week is already shaping up nicely! The scale was finally kind to me this week!! Hope it continues! Love the challenges once again! Now to try some fish recipes (not a big cabbage fan, unless it's in coleslaw!)

Team 1 Lost track of another one (Fitme2b), so we're down to 16. 1140 pts for week 4. Berylw49 Bm1409 Cjborkowski Cygrad03 Farmerpam1 Gawworthington Jazzypdx Khalley888 Lbenson2006 Leannev68 lsabeIIe Lulloa Lykkelig_o Melissasue0317 RoseTheWarrior Llmg970

Nice to hear from you Melissa! I find trying to do the challenges in addition to the minutes of activity very helpful to helping me reach some of my mini goals. That's one of the many things I like about this group and the race...I'm so busy having fun and trying do the challenges that I sometimes forget I'm doing this to…

No need to ever feel bad Rose! We all have those weeks! Sounds like you are already back on track in a major way! Lately I've been enjoying Erin O'brien workouts. Mostly low impact but really gives you a good sweat. I read about her when I was researching Jillian Michaels reviews and someone said that Erin was good because…

I feel I would love to go shopping with you, Gayle! It would be a blast and I'd save so much $$$$!

Thanks so much for your amazing contribution to the team Pam! You rock! Love your attitude!

Hey! Guess we're all going to visit Olena in Kiev!!! Wow Connie, way to push it for the team!!! I don't fully understand the accountability challenge as of yet...think I'll check out what others have entered and go from there. Good job Isabelle on getting so many miles already! I do 8-9 miles a day on my stationary bike…

Hoping that those left on the shrinking teams will be asked to join other smaller teams like we did in the last challenge. To even things out?

Way to go ladies! Great team effort! Every little bit counts!

As of this moment we need 511 more minutes of activity! I'm going to do some Zumba soon; at least 30 minutes. Good job with the belly dancing!!! Keep up the posting!!! Wish I didn't need to sit so long this weekend working on our taxes....ugh! But they're finally done! Yay!

Glad to hear so many of you are trying the belly dancing! I wonder what Melodie is going to come up with next? So I just finished writing my "Success Story" speech for the weight loss award gala coming up at the end of the month. The place it will be in is over 3 hours away and will require a hotel stay. So glad one of the…

Awesome moment Gayle! So happy for you. Sounds like a wonderful evening! Have fun dress shopping!!

Too funny Brigitte!

Ok Team. Huddle! Here's the situation. Team 6 is hot on our heels. At the moment of writing this post, team 6 is at 57% complete towards the miles and 4 of them have done the dancing. We are at just over 60% with only 3 of us done the dancing. I realize there are members on our team who just haven't got around to entering…

Just completed all 5 belly dancing videos. They're all closer to 10 minutes each (not 5 as mentioned in roadblock) by the way. Was fun but found the 4th one a little sleepy. Maybe it was just me who was sleepy! In any case, I actually was able to do a lot of the moves, thanks possibly to either my Zumba experience or my…

Good job Pam with your cycling NSV!

@lbenson2006 Lesley, don't worry about us. If you need me to do anything please don't hesitate but we will understand if you need time. Just let us know!!!

Isabelle! Great photos!!! You look terrific! Wish I had more before and after pics like those! Great idea to document the progress!

Oh my gosh, Lesley! That's horrible! So sorry to hear such tragic news! Sincere condolences and hugs to you and your family. So sad.

A reminder to keep up with your spreadsheet updates if possible! Let me know if you need me to enter data for you! Team 6 is hot on our heels!!!

Thanks all! Will take more pics once I've reached goal weight. Great NSV Gayle! Yes, Lesley, I absolutely abhor that before pic and actually would have deleted it but it's also a great pic of my son so that's the only reason it's still around!! Wish I had more before pics though, for just the reason you mentioned!
