Not sure that link worked; I'll try it again later from my regular computer.

Last week several people mentioned wanting to drink more water. Here is a great article with helpful tips and tricks: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/20-life-hacks-for-drinking-more-water/

Hello Team Die Lard! Thanks, Mimi, for sharing your pain! I'm going to have to try the arm video tonight. I guess torture loves company!

We should be getting replacements. I think Serenity0913 is contacting a couple of people from the wait list; hopefully we'll get confirmations from them tomorrow.

Great challenge! I'm going to borrow it for Team Die Lard. Thanks for sharing! Congrats to Team Dude, Where's My Gut for an incredible week 1!

It's spring here in Texas, and the pollen count is finally going down! Hope the warm weather comes your way. Though I must say, your snow photos are really beautiful!

Happy and safe travels this weekend!

Awesome day! You're workin' it!

Too funny ya'll! I'm laughing out loud and my colleagues are wondering about me.... :smiley:

Running 4 miles and uphill - TOTALLY AWESOME!! As a wanna-be runner, I imagine that feels like a huge accomplishment!

What an amazing team! I love love all the positive encouragement and well wishes! @Serendipity0913 - Your goal boards are fantastic! I need to do some goal setting like that. @misalillstead - Hilarious! What a great visual. I think I'll add a bale of hay to the middle of my goal board! The 140 pounds of sugar a year is…

@Gethntysear, I think you deserve an exercise award for yesterday! What a great way to start your successful week!

CELEBRATION!!! Bpkal, a terrific accomplishment! You have worked hard to achieve better health!

So we lost @Chrizzy8. :/ The good news is that she was able to get a spot on another team that had an opening. Happy for her!

Good for you! Double the satisfaction - a great work out and the satisfaction of accomplishing your goal despite the yucky weather! Kudos for the water too! You are so off to a great start this week! Remember to do some stretching before/after and hopefully you won't get too sore.

Fancnac1 posted her weight on the team discussion; I sent her a message asking her to re-post it to the Week 1 discussion. Should be there soon!

Hi Chrizzy8, I'm sorry you weren't able to make it on the roster this time. However, you're welcome to check in on our discussion board and share our encouragement! Team Die Lard is on a roll , and we're happy to share the positive energy with you!

High Five, Shay! You've got this!

Good morning!! A bite of inspiration to go with your morning coffee: "Accomplishments don't come from your physical self but your mental self. True success comes from within your heart and mind - not from your quads and biceps." - Blaine Cotter, Season 7, The Biggest Loser Enjoy an awesome day and a great start to the week!

Hello Nancy! Thanks so much for getting your info in on time! Would you please post it again on the <Week 1 Weigh-In> discussion? That's where Serendipity0913 will be looking for the information to add to the spreadsheet. (See my above post for more details.) Thanks so much! You're seeing excellent results from all of your…

You are so right! We do have a great team with enthusiastic and encouraging members! Thanks to all for getting us started on a terrific experience!

You are working it! I took the dog for a two mile walk this morning. Most of my day has been spent cleaning house and doing laundry. However, I am marching in place anytime I find myself standing still- doing dishes, folding laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, etc. I've got almost 8500 steps so far today! I plan to do some…

Hello, Nancy! I'm so glad you were able to get a spot back on the team!

Hi Shay! Thanks so much for reaching out and asking for some support. I think we all start to feel down on ourselves from time to time. Mimi is so right about taking it one small goal, baby steps, at a time. I would add: Focus on the positive! Celebrate each positive thing you do for yourself, and don't worry so much about…

FITBIT Users: If anyone wants to friend me on Fitbit, I think my username is JillW57. We could do team step challenges.

It sounds like you've got a great routine going! I definitely need to up my exercise, especially during the week- not just on the weekend. In the past I have found that the more I exercise, it becomes much easier to control my appetite. You're right about changing up the exercise routine to help get past a plateau. I…
