Looking good Raiyen! Judy -- You WILL make it - just keep that attitude! One of my favorite saying is: "Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." - William Feather

Everyone looks great!! Here is mine! 50 pounds ago :smile:

I just did an "Out of the Darkness" walk this weekend and they handed out ribbons. Red if it was a mother or father lost, Purple if it was a son or daughter lost, Green if it was a sister or brother lost, Yellow if it was another relative and White if it was a friend.

Hi ladies I have been out of power since about 530 pm last night. And we are not supposed to get power back until monday night at 11 pm. So I am not sure I will have the spreadsheet done for tomorrow morning. But we are going up to my mother in laws so I can work on it a little tonight. And then I can work on them when I…

Yes, I think Mon to Labor Day is good. I will set up spreadsheet. Are we setting up a new forum or are we just using this one? Either way is fine with me. I am in :) -- whoever wants in please let us no asap so I can put your name on the spreadsheet. Shelle -- I was thinking of you with the LNS'ing lol -- but I have the…

Sorry Ladies it took me a little longer to get tallys posted. Here are the results. Weeks 9-13 (June): I am listing all those over 250: Katacheese - 501 MissySnipes - 437 quietlywinning - 367 nu2012 - 260 m00nflwr - 258 Congrats Ladies you all did awesome! Great numbers for the end of the challenge! Katacheese took 1st…

I think there is a link at the upper left hand corner to invite friends when you first come into the main page of the group -- but I do think we should make a new group and also make it a private group. Also, I always like the idea of setting personal goals each week that you want to work on for yourself (above and beyond…

I like the points too -- I think maybe instead of a list (unless people need it for ideas) just say that you can do your choice of 5 strength training exercise?? Some people might do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred or Chalean Extreme and that should count for the points instead of having to do more. Just my thoughts. Dorie

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been crazy busy this week so I will hopefully get to the calculations tomorrow or Thursday depending how many picnics I have and how much food I have to make tomorrow. But definitely I will have them posted no later than Thursday evening. Dorie

Good idea quietlywinning! Everyone please update the spreadsheet for week 13 and I will do some tallying so you can see how you did in the challenge! Have a great Sunday! Dorie

Yes, that would be great if everyone could post their progress on Saturday or Sunday. Congrats Missy on such a successful challenge! You did awesome :) Dorie

And just to clarify -- I have the numbers in the master spreadsheet for 12 weeks so your total includes everything up to date (excluding week 13 info). I agree about the exercises as well. Dorie

Hi everyone! Thanks quietlywinning for sending me the link for the master spreadsheet so I could do some tallying! Great job to all of those who are sticking through the challenge you should be proud of yourself for sticking with it! We lost quite a few people around Week 6 so congrats to all that are still here!! This is…

I am up for one too and I will do whatever to help. Dorie

I will put it back up for you to post your last day last week, just let me know when you do so I can add it to the master spreadsheet as well. Dorie

Spreadsheets are up! Quietlywinning -- do you talk to Teresa? If so, can you ask her if she can give me access to the master spreadsheet and I can try to tally some of the points for the months and see who has won the challenge. Thanks! Dorie

Hi everyone! My race went pretty good today. I will preface with I am not a fast runner and this is only my 2nd 5k. My time was 37min and 30 sec.
