10.4 of those pounds lost were mine! :blush: Great work to all who made it to the finish line!

Week one challenge is posted. Looks like there's a lot to do so l think I need to keep a list & check it off daily! Part of the challenge is friending your team members so get ready for some friend requests!

Wow, lots to do this week with so many opportunities for points! I love Greek foods, especially feta cheese & olives! Should be a great week, I'll start today off with some friend requests!

Hello Team 1. I'm Connie, 54 & live in the Chicago area. I've been on MFP on & off for a few years now. I've lost the same 30 lbs a couple times, never quite made it to my goal before putting the weight back on. This time I'm taking it slow & steady, with the help of my team and this challenge I plan to succeed! I was on…

This is how I've been doing it: Exercise calories are added to my MFP diary based on my Fitbit activity. I convert them to activity minutes by seeing how many minutes of walking(moderate pace) use that amount of calories. Hope that makes sense, it only takes a minute to do. On days that I don't get extra exercise calories…

I love The Amazing Race aspect of the challenge, please add me!

I'd like to join the group also, hope I'm not too late!

I'd like to join this thread & will start the completion against the Gremlins August 1st. For now I'll list my goals: 1. Track everything I eat on MFP 2. Log on daily 3. Drink 6 glasses of water 4. Get at least 30 min of activity in daily & log it

Hi all, I'm Connie & just joined cuz I'm looking for the motivation & support a groups gives. I'm 53, married with four kids (grown but not yet out of the house!). I lost 30 lbs last fall but got sidetracked over the holidays & long Chicago winter. I gained 20lbs back so I'm at it again, would like to reach my goal weight…

Hi! I'd like to join your group too! Looks like a great way to stay motivated & connected!

Both of the chicken recipes sound great & I'll be trying them soon. I've also made some of the recipes found in the Hello Healthy section of MFP & my family also likes them. I think they just like that I cook for them!

Hi all! I'm excited to start this challenge but have been having a difficult time eating the way I should since thanksgiving. I keep starting but get easily derailed into eating too much & the wrong foods. I'm ready to start again & I have also stocked my fridge with foods I should be eating. I also like sugar & sweets.…

Hi, I'd like to join the MFP counting calories group.

I also started MFP on Aug 1 & have lost 25 lbs. You've done an amazing job in a relatively short amount of time. Congratulations on taking control of your life & I wish you continued success on achieved your goals!

Hi Danielle, I'm Connie & I've been using MFP about 2 weeks. I'd be glad to have your support & also support & encourage you!

I'd like to try this, please sign me up!!

Into The Wind (The Terry Fox story) , it's a documentary on ESPN's 30 for 30 series. I'm not a runner but felt inspired after watching it!

I'm new to using MFP even though I signed up long ago & I'd also like some friends for motivation. Please add me!

My story is similar to yours...as is my age! I'm new to actually using MFP & would like some friends to follow, please add me too!
