:carrot::cb:Enter your starting weights now and the challenge begins January 4th 2016!!:cb::carrot: |
Hi Riestrella! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying the holidays. I was wondering what you had up your sleeve to kick off the new year. Thanks for getting us started. This new challenge couldn't have happened at a better time. I signed up for half-marathon training that begins January 9 so whether you're prayerful or a thinker of good thoughts, send them my way. This former, currently out of shape runner needs all the positive thoughts I can get!

Joining if that's OK! I am way older than 20-something. Actually, my kids are 20-somethings.
Curvy, I just signed up for a half at the end of April! Good luck with your training! Riestrella, looking forward to the challenge! |
Heya all, hope everyone had a fab christmas and pcoming new year! looking forward to getting back to it! So far no weight gain over christmas but will update the board on the first so I know my true starting weight for this challenge. Good luck everyone!

:bravo: on committing to a 1/2 marathon! What a great way to begin the New Year :hat:. If you don't mind I will consider you my virtual partner in crime ;). This will be a new experience for me as I've never trained with a group. Just a few short years ago I was running 3-4 times per week and had completed several 5 an 10ks. Lots of life has happened since then. Still, I'm excited by the challenge. While this is 1/2 marathon training I've registered for the Portland 15K (10 miles) Shamrock Run. Here's to strong legs and productive runs! |
curvy - Why, of course! I pretty much have the next years worth of challenges already planned!! I had a wonderful Christmas, thank you for asking :). I hope you had a lovely holiday also. Wow, well done for signing up for a half marathon! I've only ever run 10K's, the last one really took it out of me and I actually became a bit disenchanted with running afterwards. I wanted to do a half, but on my first run of training I injured my right knee badly and struggled to run the 10K so took a hiatus from running because of it. But having a race lined up really helped with my weight loss in the past, I'm sure it'll do the same for you. You can do it!
mothermavis - The challenge is spread out over 3 forums, Chicks up for a Challenge, 20-somethings and 100 lb club. So there's absolutely no issue with you not being a 20-something in this forum, not that there would be in the 20-something thread - there's a couple of people who aren't in their 20's who like to post there! Welcome, welcome :). Congrats on signing up for a half, what brilliant motivation for you! Koshinogi - Welcome back, great to see you! I had a wonderful Christmas, my first away from home, was expecting to be a bit sad but actually had a brilliant time. Hope you have a great New Year! |
Badges have been added, hope you like them!

How can I join, I'm "new" again to 3FC and I was going to participate in a challenge on FB, but it came with strings attached and the creator basically told me today that unless I bought the specific products included , they'd have to squeeze me in.. Anyway, all I was looking for was support and people in the same boat as me.. I just want to get healthier. I'm not going to sugarcoat it anymore, I'm not overweight, Honestly I am just fat. Today was my absolute highest weight ever, I'm frustrated and ready to stop making excuses. Anyway I just wanted to see how to join your challenge group.. Thanks in advance!
