Hi Nancy, Ok so the issue is probably your browsers language settings. If you can change those then the spreadsheet should show in English (or whatever setting you set the browser too). If you let me know the browser your using then I can tell you how to change it. If you have a google documents account you can set your…

Hi Dee, Updated the challenge thread with a list of challenges and the dates. We have about five challenges and are rotating through them, but your idea is a good one. I say maybe we try going through all the challenges and then see if people want to do it the way you suggested.

I'll stat us off. I did a 26 mile ride today trying a new course that had several long and difficult hills. I climbed to a total of 750 feet. Wich is the highest I have ever gone. In reward I was able to go down hill at 35.7 mph!

Well I didn't do my long bike ride today. I was in a pissy mood last night and the motivation wasn't their. Instead I slept in and had a late start to the day. I sis manage to get a 26 mile ride in and did a new challenging route so that satisfied me and perhaps I will do the longer ride next week. But now I am pooped and…

Hmm not sure whats going on or why the link isn;t working. Anyone interested just let me know and I will send an invite. Or try this link http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/22604-mobo-moto

Hi Nancy, I updated the rule thread so it just goes over the points of the challenge and not everything else we discussed. I think the idea was one point each week for completing the challenge and you put that point int he challenge column whenever you complete it that week. We could do it so people can earn more challenge…

I always find it funny when I have to be dragged into an activity but once I get going i'm fine.

As someone who has 158lbs to loose all I can share is my experience. I'm about ~72lbs into my loss over 160 days and the main suggestion I would make is find something you enjoy doing and thats kind on your joints. Your never going to exercise away the weight, the vast majority of that will be diet, but the exercise helps…

Sounds good. I will put together the spreadsheet tomorrow. Perhaps post in the other group to see if their are other people who want to join. Do we want a prize for this one or what. If we do then maybe we do a pool type prize. Where everyone donates something small and whoever wins gets the pool. Just a thought.

I think the metrics we have now are good, perhaps we don't need water but other people can chime in on it. I also like the idea of some extra challenges. Perhaps we should come up with a couple of general ones that we can rotate through as last time it was hard to keep up with ideas. Perhaps: 1. Exercise Challenge: Add 30…

That sounds like a good challenge. Should we keep it like the last challenge and change the date from now (or the start of next week till Christmas) or do we want to change what we are tracking. Maybe this time instead of going point per pound we all choose a goal of how much you want to loose by christmas and you earn a…

A busy weekend but I was finely able to get back on the bike after a week of no activity. Frankly it felt like I had to be dragged out of the house to get back on after my time away but within half a mile I was in love again.

I completed an NSV victory. I was able to complete my 500th mile (504 to be exact) of bike riding. I got back on the bike 91 days ago and have taken 36 rides since then for a total of 45 hours. My morning client canceled which left me with afternoon to just ride. It was a beautiful ride to Sunol, CA and a quick visit to…

Hi Everyone, I'm having a fantastic day. I pretty much gave up most of the day to going on a bike ride. Thankfully my morning client canceled so I had the time. I'm home now, rested and showered and feeling great. I have the dull sorriness of working hard but the satisfaction of accomplishing something. Not much, i…

This week has sort have been off. Not in mood or attitude, just off. I've been absent from posting and haven't had a chance to exercise this week. I could of it just didn't happen. Its been a busy week but I have just been taking this one easy. I tracked everything as I always do and didn't go over (though without the…

Well I weighed in and had the best weigh in of the past 50 days, how I managed to loose 5lbs I have no idea as I haven't been able to exercise this week. Yet still doesn't bring me anywhere close to Zack :P I don't think he chart currently adds this fridays weigh in to the points total, so a reminder to people to add it in…

Hi Julie, Well I am glad you are informed and doing something about it. I hope the test goes well and you can go for surgery.

I spent a beautiful day in Monterey by the beach. A cool day without any clouds. I got to walk on the beach with the feet in the water for an hour and then spent several hours walking around the coast and in town.

I hear you wennim (says the single 26yo man with no children and few responsibilities), I hate that the nights are getting shorter which makes for a lot less time to get out and ride. I purchased some powerful bike lights but its still nicer to ride in the day. When I can get away from work riding in the afternoon is nice,…

Hi Everyone, 50 days is a lot to keep the steam up so i'm not surprised things slowed down a bit. But glad to see many are engaged. It's been a busy day and I still have more to do and a dozen or so invoices to get off (how did these things pile up so quickly?). I would happily do another challenge. I log everyday so its…

Thanks everyone. I've been waiting for my 20% goal because I have a discount coupon to really great pizza place and have been avoiding pizza till I could reach this goal. i don't usually have food goals but this is a craving I have been waiting for a long time. Don't worry I will bike the 14miles to get to the pizza. My…

I look forward to being able to exercise in the afternoon without it being 95. But I also don't look forward to the early evenings and the cooler weather that cuts in on my exercise time options. This might also bee a good time to get back in the pool as the community pool becomes less crowded as the summer heat goes away.

It was a fairly good weekend, despite sleeping through an appointment with a client this morning (whoops). I made a post about it in the group form. The weight loss has been good and I finally reached my 20% goal.. While I am a fan of fall I will miss this weather for exercising. I have gotten use to working out in this…

I had one of those days yesterday where I was able to really experience and realize how far I have come. My body doesn't always feel that different except for the pathetically ill-fitting clothing I am now wearing, so it's nice to be put into a situation that makes you understand the changes whether you've noticed them or…

I didn't. At some point I decided I wouldn't go for a ride so had some eggs then after eating I was asked to pickup some nectarines so went anyway. Picked one up for tomorrow before heading off to Yosemite.

Hello everyone. Morning Dee Taking a break from work, mostly because i'm still waiting on emails to finish projects, but I can finely take my head out f the sand. I went to bed early last night and got a whopping 11 hours of sleep, actually a little more. I'm up early, got myself weighed ( I think sleeping for 11 hours…

I am happy that i reached my 20% goal this morning.

It's 10pm and i'm still waiting for a clients call. It's been a busy day so I haven't had a chance to exercise which means I am over at the moment because I had few food choices when running between clients, and haven't had a chance to at least correct the damage. Their goes my streak.

Sorry it's been a crazy day going from client and i'm still not done. Nothing like 10pm phone calls. Just stoping in to say hi. I'll try to get back to the conversation if I can but back to work.
