I am waiting to be accepted. Thanks

Hey there Group 1: scythswife LHCGuy ScubaAmyMN almcneal Annieminnesota bharatirats Let's do this. Please add me as a friend so we can cheer each other on in our newsfeed because I keep forgetting about these threads. lol. and I don't want to slack on you guys. Good luck!

Yeah yeah yeah, I guess that's a good excuse. Just make sure to kick butt and keep your streak going. You're doing great!

I didn't have a loss this week, but no gain either...so that's a plus. I just started a new workout, so hopefully next week will have a loss. Great job to everyone participating in this challenge. Let's lose those nasty pounds!

Am I missing something??? Gret, which team are you on?

I'm always looking for more friends so feel free to send me a request! Good luck everyone

That's a great idea. I agree!

Woohoo!!! Great job Amy.

I did some of the burpees and squats but unfortunately have not been able to work out every day. Luckily I've been doing well with my eating, and water intake so those have helped tremendously. I still had a loss, it was a small one, but still a loss. I'm hoping to get my schedule figured out soon so I can exercise,…

Thanks for putting this together Gret. We're off to the races!!

My goal is to lose 20 lbs and keep it off. The maintenance is a bigger issue than I realized. I do want to do cardio, but I also need strength training to fight the effects of gravity. Hopefully something will work this year.

Holy hell, I finally found the group...Yay. Ok, I like the idea of small groups cuz I agree with Amy...we don't want anyone left stranded; but then again, too many are hard to keep up with. Thanks Gret!

Congrats on your loss so far. I recently hired a personal trainer and was told to work on strength training and some cardio to continue to lose weight (good weight, meaning fat not muscle). What I ended up doing was using my incline trainer at a slower speed (2-3), higher incline (7-8), for longer periods of time (min of…

I typically go for 2 tbsp of peanut butter or a granola bar (my fave right now is the Nature Valley Almond Crunch), and I make sure to keep drinking water to help fill me up til dinner.

Has a new challenge been posted yet, for this week?

Thanks....looking forward to the challenge!

Great job getting started. Joining MFP is a great step in the right direction. You will find that you can get a lot of support and motivation here; I know I have. Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!

The 4th is complete!

I completed squats for Dec 2nd & 3rd; unfortunately, I didn't see this for the 1st. I'm going to stay with it the best I can this month. Good luck to the rest of you doing this challenge.

I have my own little mini zoo that includes 4 dogs: My senior citizen named Cindy, who is my 14+ year old Shar Pei My obnoxious rescue named Sweetie Pie, who is my 5 year old Pit Bull My teenie little salt and pepper puppy, who is my 4+ year old black and white Shih tzu My annoying little cotton ball, who is my 4+ year old…

Thanks Lee. I'm so excited do do another one of your challenges...it's going to be a blast!

Thanks for the demonstration video, I'm looking forward to starting on toning.

Congratulations, you're doing an amazing job!

Thanks for putting this challenge together, but I'm going to have to bow out. I have a couple different challenges going on, and it's becoming very difficult to manage all of them with all of the mini challenges. I wish you all luck with the challenge and your goals.

I'm totally on board with you. Skinny Cow rocks! I love the ice cream sandwiches, but I don't think I could name a fave cuz the choc/vanilla swirled is just as good as the mint and they are only 150 calories. They make you feel like you're cheating, but you're not. Fabulous!

SW: 158.4 CW: 154.0 Success with week 1; I hope you all have had the same. Good luck this week.

Thanks for sharing....these sound delicious. I'll have to give them a try.

This is truly a tragedy. He played such great roles in The Green Mile, Armaggedon, The Whole Nine Yards, and so many others. He was actually on the episode of Two and a Half Men that I happened to watch right after hearing the news of his passing. Man, he will be missed! RIP :sad: :heart:

I've had a pretty difficult life being that I am "glow in the dark" white, and I'm a brunette. It seems that some find it acceptable if you have red hair, but everyone else is supposed to be tan. Well, I wish someone would've told that to my genetics because the only colors I ever am are red or white. I have never been one…

I am loving my 2012 Acura TL. Got it for Xmas from my husband last year, and it's awesome!
