No check ins? Well I'm late too. SW 185 CW 179 GW 160 Doing three 30 day challenges, but modified for myself because of iinjuries/weak areas (back surgery and ruptured Achilles tendon) hoping to do them as written when I repeat them :) Arms, squat, and dumb Bell. Joined the spring challenge/amazing race group. I love the…

Week 3, check ins, today! I needed a new battery for my scale, ended up buying a BMI/scale it was on clearance ! $13 for a conair "weight watchers" scale. Will post my stats in the morning. Hope everyone is doing well on their journey! ~ jazzypdx

Week 2 of the race!! Love the breakdown Isabelle, thank you. Irish steel cut oats to start the day, with pineapple & blueberries. I got two birds with one stone, colors & Irish themed food :smile: Off to work! Have a great day everyone! ~ jazzypdx in (currently sunny) Oregon

Hi all! Welcome newbies! Sorry I missed check-in. SW 185, CW181, GW 155. Had a blast at the beach, totally blew my calorie goals with delicious adult beverages but it was worth every sip! I did a ton of walking, over 32,000 steps according to Fitbit, from when I arrived Fri afternoon to when I started driving back home/to…

I have a few health issues, dead…

There is the squat challenge, arms challenge and dumb Bell challenge plus the amazing race activities. I am just figuring it out myself, points for your team for meeting other goals (like calories) and encouraging your team members along the way.

Just want to be sure I understand what I am to log - daily minutes of activity (per my fitbit) plus time spent on challenges (arm/squat/dumbells) and other exercise. The thread is difficult to read on my phone (I do not own a computer/ipad/tablet etc)

Hi All ! Busy week, busting out tomorrow and heading for the beach (Lincoln City to see America at Chinook Winds) first day off work since January...dang I'm tired! I did really well on food, the Mason jars are working, the Fitbit is logging steps really well, didn't get to the gym/PF at all. But I did my usual morning…

Awesome! Thank you Marvelous Mallowbar :smiley:

I am trying to build to these numbers, ruptured my right Achilles a few years back and do not have the flex for a deep squat, love it though! Day 1 20, Day 2 15, today 20

Hi! I just bought a charge HR, today was day 4. Not quite sure if I like it yet. New to MFP and looking forward to this challenge. Jazzypdx in Portland Oregon

Mason jar update - Today dug half of the 9 grain cereal out, under it was fresh mango chunks, blueberries, and almonds, poured half a cup of hot almond milk on, let it sit 15 minutes while getting ready for work, delicious, still too much, flushed the rest. Did well through a looonnngg shift, no vending machine Escapades!…

Saralynn, sounds like a great class! I would have folded and tried all the deserts , good job picking just one :) I need to get a mini tramp, had one before, bounced for ten minute two or three times a day, loved it. Hope you get to feeling better.

Just keep pushing forward - Good things ahead ! :smile:

I'm 5'6 in the morning, closer to 5'5 1/2 by nightfall, my goal 145-135,(when I go under 135 I think I look awful!) I skate and dance, so my muscular legs account for not meeting the classic ideals for our height range
