Thanks to everyone who participated this week - we had a lot of calories burned! Just sent out goodies. If you did not receive one, look for your name on the list. Some people don't have Spark Pages so I can't give out goodies. If you didn't receive one or aren't on the list, I didn't leave you out intentionally. Let me know ASAP and I will send one out and add you.

Luna - yes, you post your calories burned daily. But if you can't get on you can post a few days worth at a time, etc. No pressure, just get them in before the end of the month.

Hello, I'm new to this challenge. I haven't been regularly visiting sparkpeople for a while and I am trying to be more active with it now. I would like to be more active in the social network part of the site also, I'm not very good at it, I don't even have a facebook page. Here's to hoping I can stick with it.

Great work everyone! Thanks for the goodies too!! This challenge is a real motivator. I was feeling down all day and didn't really feel like doing my cardio but the thought of not adding to our numbers got me up at the very last minute.
Go team Apple!!

I'm down with fitting in some extra exercise! I will pledge to jump rope outside while I watch my tatter tot play. I read that jumping rope is not only a good way to tone your body but its also a big calorie burner in less time!

We are almost 12,000 behind now. We had managed to come closer around the weekend but now we're falling behind again. I am going to try to get some extra walking in this week and maybe even try a run again if my physical therapist okays it. Let's step it up and get a little closer to Team Orange. We can do it!

You should all have received goodies by now. If you haven't, look for your name on the list...I got hose messages when trying to send you goodies! If you participated from 3/1-3/9 and don't see your name on the list, please let me know! Leaving you out was not intentional - it is harder to scroll through 150 posts and I may have missed someone unintentionally.

I will give out another round of goodies next weekend to those who participate from HERE on.

Keep up the great work. We have made up a little ground on Orange but we need to keep it up if we have any chance of beating them.

They may have more participants - that's the disadvantage of breaking up the teams according to birth year but it's much easier for maintenance purposes.

We CAN do this!

As extra motivation. anyone who participates consistently each week will receive a goodie! I will be sending out the first round of goodies in a few days when I have a little more time to sit at the computer.

Great job so far everyone!

It's just calories burned during FITNESS (not at rest). So this AM I walked 1.8 miles to bring my daughter to school and then I walked back home. I inputted into the fitness calculator and I burned 105 calories so that is what I counted.

Hi all apples!
When I get down I think of my long term goals. Ask yourself why am I trying to loose weight? Are you trying to fit into a certain dress or maybe get to pre-baby weight? Either way just think how great you are going to look once you've reached your goal!
