I played each once and it took a total of around 20 minutes. To get better at the dance I would have to run through them a few times, which I might try at another time.

Hey! Opened a letter in the mail today and it was from the organization that runs a weight loss support group I attend. Turns out I am one of the Provincial Division Winners for 2015! First Place, Division lll. They want me to write my "Success Story" and send in a before picture. At the end of April I need to attend the…

Just attempted the Irish dance videos. Not easy! But it was something new and added to my activity time. Also I could do it with my shoulder and neck issues because it's all legs!

I totally understand. Weekends are always tough for me. Lately I allow myself some treats on the weekend but I try to offset it with extra exercise. Can you treat yourself with any non food celebration? A massage, a manicure, a movie, time alone with a good book, a soak in the tub????

Ok. Shoulder is much better but neck still a problem. Didn't stop me from getting on my stationary bike this morning though. Am going to watch the roadblock dance videos tonight and I'm hoping there are not a lot of arm moves and it's mostly legs (my impression of Irish dancing, a la Riverdance, etc) so I should be able to…

I am so glad you shared that with us Gayle! What an amazing achievement! Such an inspiration for all of us!

Wow! Just saw the announcement about us being the winning team!!! So proud of all of you! And we are well on track for week 2! Hopefully my neck and shoulder heal quickly (called in sick to rest my shoulder and then it was a snow day anyway!!! Spent it lying down on painkillers and muscle relaxants.) Amazing effort by all!…

I made a beef barley stew in the crockpot yesterday. yum!

Ok. 562 points for team 1. (542 + 5 + 15)

Thanks all. I'm blaming the 2 hours of Pickle Ball I tried for the first time Monday night. Delayed effect. No more racket sports for me!

Shoulder's out! Can't do my video workouts in morning. :'( Still did my cycling though. Zumba's out until things get back in order. Sorry team. Will try to get back those active minutes somehow. Maybe more cycling sessions?

Wasn't there bonus points if the whole team did the dance?

Oh my gosh Gayle! That has to be one of the best NSV stories I've heard in a while!!!

So, in case I go to bed before they allow me to send the rest: here's the message I'm hoping each of you will get from me...eventually! Ok, so I think I've got this spreadsheet thing figured out. To make it easier to tabulate at the end of the week, please log your score (#'s only, no words), under the challenge columns.…

Thanks Isabelle. So I'm trying to send a message to each of you about the spreadsheet and I guess there's some sort of mechanism in place to deter spam or something because I just got a warning saying I'm not allowed to contact more than 5 new users every 10 minutes!!! Too funny.

SmashleyM914 said it's okay to use it! So grateful for that! She also said she would check on it tomorrow to make sure I moved it over ok. But I think I've got it working. Even got a little lesson from my hubby on how to add a few helpful functions! I think we can go ahead and log your minutes.

@SmashleyM914 Team 1

Unbelievable! I haven't had much success scale-wise last week. I've worked out more than ever, stayed under my calorie goal (even had a calorie deficit of between 750-1000 each day ). What's with that ? In the past when this happened I would have given up but not this time! It will come! Slow and steady wins the race,…

Ok team! Here's the scoop. 2883 miles to the land of the Green! That's 151 minutes for the week for each of us! That's only an average of 22 minutes per day per person!!! Last week we averaged 370 minutes per person in the week. That was 52 minutes per day average per person. So we should be able to do this no problem if…

Thanks Melodie! But one person was there twice. I removed the second listing so our total might change from what you initially got. I'll let you know.

Ok, I'm in the process of working on the spreadsheet. Borrowed/stole the template off of team 5. Still working on the next few weeks. So since I'm doing a lot of copy and pasting you will notice that many of the challenges still have info from previous weeks. I will change the details as we become aware of them. Maybe hold…

@SmashleyM914 Hope you don't mind but I've used your template! Hope I did it right and it's ok with you????

@SmashleyM914 Your spreadsheet set up looks terrific! Is there any way I can use it? If so, could it be as simple as copying and pasting it on to our page? I'm Team 1. Know very little about spreadsheets.

Actually I see someone has already tabulated the points for my team on the spreadsheet. Not sure if it was someone on my team or not. Is it done correctly? I'm on team 1.

I know nothing about spreadsheets and could really use some help. My team is waiting for me to get it set up so they can enter their data.

Thanks for your patience, group! First time leading a group and not very tech savvy. Didn't realize I had to set up the spreadsheet each week. I will message Melodie tonight and get the scoop. Hang in there and please keep track of your activity etc. for when I finally figure out what it is I'm supposed to do. May take…

Ok folks. I still need to tabulate last week. I know understand those who could not access the spreadsheet from their phones. Got a new phone over the weekend and now I can't seem to access it anymore. I'm getting home late tonight so I'll try to get it done tomorrow. Sorry! Still at work for the 13th hour!

I will try tabulate tomorrow night if that's ok. Thanks!

A tremendous week for sure!!! Thanks for being there ladies and for putting in your best effort despite life throwing different challenges at us! The new golden ticket challenges are posted! We're off to Ireland!!! Melodie has also posted some further clarifications in the week 3 newsletter announcement. I need to study…

I only lost one member this week: Marji2busy. Otherwise my team is intact! I will need a little help figuring out our score. If I can have a little assistance this week I should be good to go for the following weeks. Just need a bit of training! How about I try figuring out the score and then pass it by you?
