One-derfuls, I just wanted to let y'all know I was out of commisson for a while healing from (a relatively minor) surgery but I'm back with a vengence now! Let's hit 250 by July 31st...deal?!

Oh, I LOVE THEM. I actually buy organic frozen mango chunks from trader joes and whole foods. When I'm not making smoothies, I literally just put them in tupperware in my fridge for a few hours to thaw out. Quick, painless and cheap (around $3.00)!

Thank you all for the support and responses! I just feel like I"m going to crack! I'm exhausted. Some further details: I cannot have a roommate. I renewed a lease on a one-bedroom. I like living alone and it has kept costs down. I used to pay the exact same WITH a roommate who racked up ultilities and got HD cable in my…

Thank you! I will definitely check this out!

I'm going to say no because I'm not sure what the conversion would be. I think it's too complicated to keep adding different exercises! Thanks for asking though. :smile:

I have the hardest time with this one but feel better once I embrace it!

bump! Words of widsom!

DISCLAIMER: I closed enrollment so I could organize the boards, not to exclude anyone! If you come with your own team of 4 WITH A NAME, you can absolutely still join! Try to get it settle by the Friday 7/8 to make it fair for everyone. Thanks!

YOU'RE DEFINITELY IN! Sorry, I forgot to mention any teams with established teammates and names weren't going to be listed in that list. Too many peeps!

You all are welcome! Thanks for participating!

WOW. This was a challenge navigating through all the messages. If I missed anyone (which is very possible!), PLEASE speak up and we'll get you on a team. RULES: TEAM NAMES must be in by FRIDAY 7/8. TEAM CAPTAINS must be elected by FRIDAY 7/8. BIKE MILES are allowed! You must use this formula or they don't count:…

I haven't forgotten about you! I've just been away. Setting up all these groups and weeding through a bunch of messages isn't feasible at this time. I PROMISE to get to it at work tomorrow (Tuesday the 5th). Please be paitient! ***If anyone wants to take over the task of setting up teams, I'd be okay with that! Oh, the…

YES! It all counts!

Sorry I missed it! HI! I'm okay with that as long as EVERYONE uses that same calculator. I hate to discourage anyone but it was hard to fit in bike miles in previous challenges. I think this method will work. THANKS!

Just keep track of your personal miles for now, we'll start posting as a team on the 5th! Usually, I like to make teams by grouping every 4 people together. It's random and it's the fairest way I think. I'll try to post the teams by the 5th. There is a lot activity on this board (which is great!) but it's hard to navigate.…

****OFFICIAL FINALS**** Some teams didn't write to me with their totals. I tried to scan the past threads to find the most recent totals best I could. PLEASE SUBMIT THEM TO ME IF I MISSED YOU! FIRST PLACE: The Runaways!!!! With a total of 431.56 miles! WOW! Y'all are ROBOTS! SECOND PLACE: The One-derfuls!!! With a total of…

CAPTAINS! Get those finals to me, please! Thanks! ** I'm tallying up totals today at work (I got busy last night). I"ll post on my status and in the message board when they're completed! GREAT JOB everyone!

Oh man, there are SO MANY! Thai Chi Guy--- Listens to his DISCMAN in the stretch area and does some kind of slow motion/thai chi/5 pound weight routine. He wears short spandex shorts and scrunchy socks. He has GREAT legs, though! Locker Room Facial---PLease. Don't pop your zits at the sink or lay out your face products!…

Bring SkinnyGirl margaritas! 100 calories a glass! It's all about moderation. As others said, drink water, hover around veggie platters and don't over fill the plate. I would also suggest HAVING WHAT YOU WANT just modify it. You want a burger? Sure! Little cheese, no bun and top with veggies. Or, get a veggie burger. Dip…

I'm SO EXCITED by all the responses. Welcome! "NEWBIES" : Please just post "newbie looking for a team" and I'll put y'all into groups of 4! "VETERANS": Please state your team name and if you need any new members! ****Start tracking your miles privately starting July 1st. Teams will be announced on the 5th.**** THANKS!

Ugh! We alllll do it. I feel like I've been trained from MFP. I work out before I go out. I eat healthy, sustainable food right before going out (lean proteins and veggies) and make sure I'm hydrated. I'm kind of light weight these days so I'm happy to be over the "drink till you pass out" stage in life. If you're stuck…

HECK YES! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

CAPTAINS!!! Please get your team's finals totals to me by TOMORROW, June 30th! I'll announce the winner! WINNING TEAM!!! Come up with a fun, easy to follow theme for July! Let's get creative! :bigsmile: NEW CHALLENGE, NEW CHALLENGE, NEW CHALLENGE :bigsmile: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/276890-july-miles-challenge

Sorry! Not yet! I'm doing it now. Has everyone thought up some good challenge ideas??

WOW! SueGeer is probably the MVP! OUTSTANDING! Great job going OVER 300 miles, One-derfuls!

I won't ever, ever let myself be so complacent about my health again... Scale be damned. Everyone, remember how you feel typing those sentences right now. Remember your goals! Remember you are more than a number!

If you eat clean and drink plenty of water and healthy fats, you'll probably poop clean. Too gross? Pro-biotics help a ton! Not only yogurt but actual pro-biotic pills. YOu can get them in the vitamin section. They keep me pretty regular and help with bloating of any kind!

Oh God, yes! Try to eat a lot of protein/iron rich foods. Lots of potassium (to combat bloat!). Think bananas, sweet potatoes, kiwis etc. Drink more water than usual and TRY TRY TRY to get some good exercise in. Don't over do it! I hate it as much as the next girl, believe me, but I REFUSE to not live my life the way I…

I have them. I'd like to think in 40 years I'll just fondly remember how bad *kitten* I was for getting them. They're time stamps (literally) of your life.

WAY TO GO, One-derfuls!!! Let's hit 300 by the end of the challenge! Think we can do it??? SueGeer: DAYUM, girl! You'll be at 100 in no time!
