There's a huge team challenge starting (or continuing from August) in September. You have to come with a team http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/317595-september-tribal-challenge-1000-people-5000-pounds And I'm running the August Miles Challenge this month but I know we will also be doing it again in September (not…

ohhh looking forward to this. I <3 crunches!!!!!!!!!!

I could post the current totals....but a lot of people haven't checked in and we did just start so I'm thinking of doing it next week just to see how everyone is doing.

I drink these too! I'm actually having one while typing this (chocolate flavor). They can be pricey, but they also are on sale a lot since they are one of the popular products or you get a discount if you buy another product (like vitamins etc).

depending on your personal style it could be different. but Forever 21 usually has cute dresses. Also try H&M, maybe DEB, Wet Seal, Cache, Express. Not sure what your budget is but theres some cute stuff at boutiques in NYC if you can get there.

I know these aren't always the best ideas but have you tried one of those short-term fad diets? Maybe the GM 7-day diet? I don't have much to lose myself but I lost 3lbs in one week doing the GM diet (granted it says you should lose 10-17 but I'd probably be in a hospital if i lost that much in one week). Also, what…

Here's my recipe. I used generic stuff from the database to get an idea of the calories etc but it may vary depending on the ingredients you use etc. Pork Tenderloin with Saurkraut and PearMakes approx 6 servings INGREDIENTS: -pre-seasoned pork tenderloin (24oz will yeild 6-4oz servings) -1 package kosher saurkraut…

try switching up your workout routine and not eating back all your exercise calories (I only eat back half of mine if any at all). Also, have you taken measurements? you could be losing fat but toning muscle.

Unfortunately, no. The originators of this challenge have been trying to keep it simple, pavement-pounding miles so we will not count swimming. We may allow it later in the year (bike miles....converted of course....were only allowed starting last month).

I have three teams looking for another member. We've had lots of flakes this month. I've told them to reach out to your team so you may be hearing from one or all. If you don't get anything by tomorrow, send me a message and I'll set you up with one of the teams.

Aw, sorry I switched it up a bit. I was trying to make it a little easier so we weren't checkin in every other day. And also tried to coordinate ith the start and end of the month.

I still have missing check-ins from teams!!! -SCRAMBLED LEGS -SOLE SISTERS -THE AMAZING QUAD -NEWBIE TEAM 6 Still time to check in but if you don't post anything for this past Monday and you miss Thursday's check in as well, I'm removing you from the challenge!!! THE ROADRUNNERS....I know you guys said you would have…

I have some crazy skin (this was all before I started working out regularly). I started using Neutrogena Skin ID two years ago and never looked back. But prior to that I was always using Neutrogena cleansers. I just found they helped me personally the most. If you can fit it in your budget, I recommend trying skin ID. You…

where's all the teams at??????? I only have two teams checked in besides my own!!! come on team captains!!!!

I've used it after a friend (who works at GNC's corporate) recommended it to me to jump start my workout routine. There was another thread about it that a bunch of ppl posted in regarding it (see link below). I've personally had success with it. You do need to make sure you follow the recommendations on the label…

sounds good i'll update my list with your new member. the spreadsheet is a public doc thing (i didn't create it so i'm not sure how it works) but i think only one person at a time can use it. I downloaded it to my desktop to use. Or you can copy all the formulas into your own excel document if you want. let me know if you…

Awesome! Now where's all our other newbie teams???? Have the captain please post what your team name will be! And don't forget everyone, first check in is tomorrow (Monday)!!!!! Also, dont forget bike miles will count if they are converted using the formula provided in the original post. If anyone has trouble with it,…

is Gary trying to kill us in week two? Seriously... but anyway, I'll have no problem adding a few extra miles to get to the 100 goal. Hope everyone is doing well so far!!!

go back into your signature and use the link to enter your ticker's page. you just put in your password and add in your miles or whatever you are counting and click next. it will automatically update your ticker.

Alright everybody, the AUGUST MILES CHALLENGE is underway!!! First, a quick reminder of the rules, how to calculate bike miles, and how and when to post! RULES: (they are slightly different this month) 1. Each team must elect a captain and choose a team name. You will coordinate with your captain how you will report your…

THE THREAD IS NOW CLOSED! Everyone that has responded so far (newbies), check back later tonight for your team! Existisng teams, thanks for coming back! Hope everyone is looking forward to a productive August!!!!

One more giant bump for last call on the entries!!!!!! Onederfuls and In It To Thin It: I still have not heard from either of your captains confirming if you were in/out/need members! Let me know ASAP or I'm going to assume you are OUT

BUMP!!!! Just checking....I've heard form random members of each: One-derfuls, 4-Non-Blondes, and In It To Thin It.... but I'm still waiting for confirmation if you guys have full teams or not. Please let me know if you do and who the members are or if you want me to assign you a newbie or two. Thanks!!! PS.....One more…

Hi All!!! Don't worry newbies, I got you all down I promise! I'll be assigning the teams Friday night (Eastern time US) so still plenty of time for newcomers to join! Existing teams, feel free to get a jump start and check in tomorrow!

OkieWorkout and JustJenn, let me know the names of your other teammates so i don't accidentally assign them as newbies! thanks!

i used elliptical last time. I can use that again I guess. I was just curious if there was anything else similar. thanks all!

its not really an elliptical though. its like....a lateral stepper type thing. if you are a skiier....the motion you use to "skate" when on the skis is the same motion as this machine. if that doesnt make sense, google it. I'd post a pic but I have no idea how.

bump!!!
