OK so I'm totally psyched - I just found out from Awesome Moderator Steve that MFP is about to roll out a Groups feature in the next few days. That means we users can create our own private groups with our own message boards! That will take a lot of the coordination stress out of finding the right thread to post stuff on.…

sittingduck - LMAO I am all about pizza! Even when I'm not eating pizza, I'm having fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and pita chips. Best food combo ever. mouser - I didn't get my 100 in either. I'm working on it today, though. Glad to see you made it to the boards! hersheygirl - 70 oz of water is nothing to sneeze at.…

Great news. Do you usually do well with food? that's my biggest challenge. Lord, do I love the taste of good stuff :)

Baby steps are steps. Any chance you can get some calf raises in??

LOVE IT! :heart: :love: :flowerforyou:

bump! If you haven't posted your start measurements, do it here! Check in is on Tuesday.

The beginning's always a little bumpy...please bear with me :) I'm asking a moderator to either edit the title of the original chat thread and delete this one, or give me the ability to moderate the threads that I start. So stay tuned, but be sure that I will communicate on my profile and in these threads. For now, this is…

Hi Sarah, Sorry if you're confused now! Not being able to remove my threads or edit them is very frustrating for me with a group this big. I'll talk to a moderator about fixing a few things. Kate

No, there will not be a new thread every day. I've gotten quite a few messages of people who thought [CLOSED] meant the thread was no longer available. It just means group full. I don't want to chase down a million threads either...my day is busy enough! :)

Thread is closed everyone! I renamed the thread so it's not confusing people. Please continue week 1 chatter here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/382885--group-full-spartans-no-excuses-november-chat-wk-1 Also, I've posted DAY TWO's challenge!

Hi all. The naming of the threads is confusing people! This topic is CLOSED. See the new chat topic here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/382885--group-full-spartans-no-excuses-november-chat-wk-1 Sorry for the confusion! I'll get it right:)

All right people, I've just walked my brats for 50 minutes, have drank 32 oz of water (1/3 of the way there!) and am enjoying a protein shake for lunch. I'm about to dive into more work. That brisk walk really perked me up! (even if my dogs WERE being major tools) Fryboy - ahh you were alliance scum! I of course went in a…

lulu - 100 oz is about 12 glasses! Maybe this will help. The only way the broken down fat gets out of your body is through your kidneys....the more water you drink, the faster the scale goes down! The challenge is to do it just for today - not every day (although in this case, 100 oz of water per day is just awesome)…

Here's a blog post for this week's discussion if you like! Come join the conversation. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/kateland/view/spartans-let-s-talk-obstacles-164763

Weight Loss Format ================ Start Weight: 212.8 Challenge Goal Weight: 202.8 Personal Goal: Walk my dogs at lunch time a minimum of 20 minutes daily.

Hi everyone! This thread is closed. Please see the Week 1 Chat thread for conversation. The official check in thread for the challenge is posted. The group is now closed to new members but put us on your list for the December challenge! Signups will happen right after thanksgiving. It's all about marketing :)

Sarah - I am currently writing military science fiction. This year's Nano is about - ready? - Spartans. I am a video gamer on top of everything else, and the boys I hang out with (I run the website) have become real life friends. We've been a gaming clan for 7 years and we meet up regularly. Our main game was Halo, the…

I didn't but I've seen it 10 times. So I may watch it again :) LOL.

**** SPARTANS! **** Make sure you friend meh :) Tomorrow's the big day! I've got everyone so far in a spreadsheet. I will do my very best to keep up with the stats. If anyone's dying to take over the task, send me a message because I could certainly use the time to keep motivational posts and replies up, if someone else…

LMAO. Love it.

Welcome to our newest Spartans! Two days to go! Today I woke up and drank a protein shake. I am flirting with the idea of liquids only tomorrow. I have some delicious leftovers I want to eat up today :) What are you guys doing for the next two days? What's everyone's plan going to be? I see some people are doing the 30 day…

Thanks. We're gonna have an explosion of pages, so I'm already thinking we might need to move to one thread per day. I didn't expect so many people to sign up! And I've been in big challenges before, where too much time is invested in just reading 5 pages of posts from that day alone. Can you imagine one thread for a…

Aaaaand Monday is October 31. Silly me. Great stuff, Ant and Brenda! See you on the threads!

****** SPARTANS! ****** Whew! Every time I come back, y'all are multiplying on me! :) This is getting better and better. Honestly I expected 10 people and was hoping for 20. We currently have << 66 >> Spartans! I'm putting together my tracking plan for this group, so bear with me because I may change things. A couple of…

Hi there! The challenge is a place where you commit to either losing weight or being consistent about something else - exercise, clean eating, or even setting a goal to be able to run for 30 minutes straight. The goal is not to see who beats everyone else, but who was able to meet the goal they set for themselves. I want…

Thrilled to have you guys!!

****** SPARTAAAAANS ****** I'm proud of the roll call so far! We have less than a week to begin.

Welcome everyone! As a reminder I'll be posting our Week 1 Thread after signups close on October 31. Get ready to ROCK!

************* YEEAHHHHH ******************* Look at all these SPARTANS stepping up to the challenge! Holy cow, people, I had no idea we had so many ROCKSTARS waiting for their spotlight!! This is going to be a great challenge, your energy and enthusiasm is already jazzing me up!! :love: I'm loving everyone's motivation! So…

Welcome everyone! I'll be posting a Week 1 thread on Nov 1 (or oct 31) where you can post your starting measurements and state your goal. I'll try to keep track of everyone's progress, but we'll see how it goes :) In the meantime, get your fridges stocked, get your meals planned, and find a workout buddy!
