You may elect a "team captain" if that works for your team but it's not necessary. Just post here when you can! You'll find the more you get into it, the more you'll be excited/proud to post your clocked miles! Miles are just EXERCISE miles above and beyond what you do in your daily life. Please use the formula when…

I agree with both of you, totally! I'm vegetarian so I get away with saying that most of the time. Less is more. You don't have to explain yourself to her or educate her in anyway. It is her life, this is yours. I would advise only talking to her about work things or currents events. You can be friendly without trying to…

LOVED THIS! I just posted a similar thing as a status update. Yes, it's discouraging to hate how you look/feel and it's easy to give up. However, every-single-person on this website felt that way too. We manned (and WO-MANNED) up and took charge! That's the only way it gets done. Thanks for tellin' it like it is!

TEAM ONE!! Is everyone cool with the name "Team One-derful"??? 3 (My PERSONAL Miles) + 3 (Previous TEAM ONE Miles) = 6 (New TEAM ONE Miles TOTAL) WOO HOO! On the big board, Team One!

I've been getting a lot of emails with questions. To answer a few: *There's no set goal for any person or team. The sky's the limit! *Teams are definitely closed at this point. There are just too many things to keep track of. However, newcomers-please keep watching the thread in case any teams lose a member for whatever…

LOVING all the energy so far! Hi, Team ONE-what shall we call ourselves?!

TEAMS ARE CLOSED! THIRTEEN TEAMS are competing this month. :noway: Whatever team gets the most miles gets to choose the challenge/name of game next month! But really, we're competing for healthy, happy lives and of course, THE GLORY! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Team names are due Friday June 3rd!

Yes! You and LoraEllen may join CDGolden but you need one more person!

Hello! I've set up the teams. There are ELEVEN! That's amazing!

For example...if I was on Team One and I ran 5 miles (My Miles Total) + 25 (Team One's accrued total so far) = 30 (Team One's total including my daily miles) Make sense?

Anything you reply to will be under "My Topics". Go to "Community" tab and you'll see a tab for "My Topics" under "Message Boards". Super easy!

HEY!!! NEW CHALLENGE with TONS OF PEOPLE for JUNE!!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/250511-june-miles-challenge So, my faithfuls; let's get it going like I know you all can! It officially starts June 1st and we're doing teams again!

Haha I'm a short lady, I hear ya! I don't think height is necessary! This is just to motivate people to get up and move! No science involved.

tickerfactory.com ! Set it up on their site and they give you a URL. You copy & paste that into your signature. You just use a pin number to update it each time you log miles. Its pretty great and they have tons of options for backgrounds!

I'll compile teams and post them June 1st!

Ideally, I'd like to do teams of 4. We did teams of 3 in a past challenge and eventually people drop off and it's difficult to log miles with just two people. I'll be counting and listing the teams. I'll post the list June 1st to give more people time to find us and sign up! ***THE CHALLENGE DOES NOT OFFICIALLY START UNTIL…

3 (my miles) + 92.5 (PGT) = 95.5 (NGT)

2 (my miles) + 90.5 (PGT) = 92.5 (NGT)

I RUN... to keep my sanity.

3.5 (my miles) + 73 (PGT) = 76.5 (NGT)

I feel like maybe you're looking for tough love here. While all the "the right one will come along" pieces of advice are totally true, it's probably hard to take them seriously at the point of cynicism you seem to be at. I'm single. I haven't been in a real serious relationship for a few years. I have weeded through what I…

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF! -Realize it's going to take a while for the weight to come off. This is not a quick fix. -Log EVERYTHING. -It's much better for you in the long run to underestimate calories burned and overestimate calories consumed. -On days where it's really hard to find motivation, remember why you're doing…

3 (my miles) + 64 (PGT) = 67 (NGT)

4.5 (my miles) + 45 (PGT) = 49.5 (NGT)

At this point, I thnk it ALL counts! As long as we're keeping active! I do want to do teams next month. It's just a bunch of work facilitating it, which is why I unfortunately couldn't do it this month. I will post an open casting call of sorts of few days before June 1st! 2 (my miles) + 42 (PGT) = 44 (NGT)

2 (My miles) + 29 (PGT) = 31 (NGT) *I will DEFINITELY start a regular June Challenge!!!!! Stay tuned!

Thank you for sharing your story. Not only do you look AMAZING and incredibly fit, your courage and motivation is a true inspiration. Keep on keepin' on!

AWWW C'MON! This thread can't die!!! Since we're half way through the month, let's just post our miles from this week on. It's a mini challenge! How many miles can we as a group achieve in 2 weeks?! I'll start: 3 (my miles) + 0 (Previous Group Total) = 3 (New Group Total)

What I love about active/healthy lifestyle the most is that it's ALWAYS a challenge. From running faster to lifting more to fitting into a smaller size jean to trying a new sport. If you focus just on the number on a scale, you may eventually lose the drive. "Being fit" is so much different from "being skinny".
