I'm thinking a daily question would be a good way to get us going. So for the first day, I would like some info from everyone. We had so many adds and drops that some intros were prob never made, so everyone still in it, please answer the following about yourself: Name (or how yo prefer to be addressed): Where you are…

Interesting tidbit: We've had 43 people participate in this challenge in total. That's so awesome that we've been able to connect with 43 people, we would otherwise have never know. And hopefully we've been able to encourage each other to do their best. I really hope I can reconnect with them all at the end of the year and…

I can send you it. I'll send it in an mfp message.

I never thought of it that way. But that is a very good point!

That's the attitude! :drinker:

I've been there, I know what you mean. I actually was one of the few that lost weight in college, a combo of walking everywhere and constantly firing on all cylinders, but I loved it. Wish I was back in college all the time, beats the "real world"!

maybe do fish instead?

Ok, I found a few cute jokes to share: Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?..........He didn't have the guts. What was the witches favorite subject?.............Spelling Where do baby ghosts go during the day?............Dayscare Centers What kind of mistakes do ghosts make?................Boo boos :bigsmile:

Too cute!

Correction: instead of eating all of them! :bigsmile:

My tuesday RAOK, was I bought donuts from Krispy Kreme (all just to get 2 hats, come to find out they were out of hats :grumble: ). So instead of eating them, I took them to the neighbors.

My good deed for this friday...Someone started a Boo chain (you give treats to someone secretly with a little poem, and they copy the poem and pass on to someone with more treats. Well theres a guy at work that doesn't have a way to get the candy and candy bags to do this, so I made bags for him to use, and another…

My good deed today: I am picking up some items at the grocery store for a work friend on my lunch break.

That is exactly the reason I wanted to do this challenge. I feel like when we are trying to lose weight we focus on ourselves so much that we need reminded that we really needed to focus on something other than ourselves sometimes. I'm so glad you took the time to see your grandma! I miss my grandma everyday too, she is…

these are awesome and inspiring!

I looked up somethings for a neighbor on the internet, because he doesn't know how to.

That definitely counts!

I've decided to issue a special challenge this week: 3 pts if you perform a random act of kindness everyday this week, M-F. You need to post on this message board each day what you have done. It can be any simple (or big) action, you've done out of kindness to someone else. Team captains I will track this so don't worry…

You need to look at the ingredients, basically I look at the ingredients. for example, my diet pepsi, has caramel color, potassium benzoate, phosphoric acid, etc. That is not natural, but my can of beans last night had beans, water, and salt. that would be all natural. Does that help?

Didn't win the chili cookoff (Seriously think it is rigged!!!!!), but everyone loved it. :bigsmile:

Ok my recipe for today is inspired by my work's chili cookoff today. Here is my (hopefully award winning) chili: 1 can pinto beans 1 can black beans 1 can corn 2 cans diced tomatoes 1 packet of chili or taco seasoning 1 lb of meat of your choice (or leave it out, most often I use burger crumbles which I put in frozen from…

Team Abnehmen was very close, so lets make sure we do our best to keep the trophy. BTW, as a group we burned over 23,000 calories! We averaged nearly 3,000 calories each, and that's with an injured teammate, the next closest team had around 13,000. We were also the only team with no gainers!!! :bigsmile: ANDDDD... everyone…

I wondered about that. LOL I think one of the people you replaced was kelly and I forgot to change the name! :blushing: Sorry!!!
