Hi! Just stumbled on your post. I'm going to celebrate my 58th birthday next week and I share all of your dreams and goals. My weight crept up over 20 years of raising 2 children while working full time and generally not taking care of myself. Guess what, over time I lost the ability to take care of myself. Reclaiming that…

Welcome new members. This has been a great challenge.

Hi, I'm Cando. Can't follow who has matched and who has not, so here are my stats. Age: 57 Height: 5'4" Daily caloric goal 1450 CW: 161 GW: 130 Preferred workouts: elliptical, cycling, strength training, yoga, Pilates. No DVD's or home workouts, just can't get motivated enough. Would love a partner. 2013 is my year!

Just joined, east US. Thanks!

This makes me weep! I love the internal dialog you shared, and also the exhilarating strength you found when you dug deep down. You should be dancing in circles at changing not only your body, but also your mind. Way to go!

Did anyone start a group?

You glow!

This is great, thanks!

Same here. Courthouse, 26 years ago, after work one afternoon. Perfect!

Great question and the responses are so inspiring.

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

I don't have the answer, but I understand the technical support people at fitbit are fabulous. You might want to give them a call.

Yeah!!! Seems to be working for White Team and all members are showing up as members. Thanks!

Whoo Hooo.... The Groups thread seems to be fixed. Each of us is already showing as a member. Kindly check in by responding to my initial post, and we'll take it from there. "Groups" is more private and easier to access than the general threads we've been using.…

Okay, heidi is the official cheerleader for the White Team! Hands down!

White Team, I thought I would copy and paste this post from Satyrakk, who set up the May Challenge: ____________________________________________________________________________________ MAY CHALLENGE SPECIFICS The goal of the month is to lose 5 pounds (or more) while staying accountable with our intake and calories spent…

I did the same thing! Great suggestion!

Brilliant idea, Magenta! Think I'll steal it for the White Team when our members are all accounted for.

Great thread, thanks! Pinot Noir for me too. Switch to Pino Grigio in the summer. Great suggestions in response. Plan to give some a try.

Way to go, WHITE TEAM!! I've started another thread just for the White Team. Go to "Message Boards" then "Motivation and Support" and you'll see a new topic called "May Challenge - 5 plus pounds - WHITE TEAM (only). Post a quick reply so we can count heads and all 12 of us can find each other. Welcome and let's get started!

WHITE TEAM checking in!! Just back from a weekend in Pittsburgh for my daughter's college graduation and to help move her to a summer sublet. Whew! What a great time for a fresh start for me. Hopefully everyone has registered for the group site, and we will be able to communicate that way very soon. In the meantime, I see…

White Team checking in! I've contacted 4 members who have checked into the group. Will be posting hear until the group feature is fixed. Looking forward to a healthful, happy month of May!
