Hi! I have been a member of the Wildcats for a couple of months now. I have built a wonderful rapport with my team mates and I really appreciate it because they aren't afraid to give me constructive critisism.
To me, being on the team isn't just a chance to be competitive but a place I can get to know others, check out their plans, and get strength training ideas. We also do an optional accountability thing each day where we hold ourselves and each other accountable for sticking to plan. This has also given me some great meal ideas, some wonderful exercise tips, and the support I have needed to stick to this lifestyle change.
One of the other things I like about being on the Wildcats is the two forums. The serious forum is for accountability and plan ideas whereas the cheer forum is a great place to let loose and be yourself without worrying about offending someone.
The forums are alot like the rest of the Buddyslim site, you get out what you put into it. You don't have to post in forums to be a member of the team, but it helps team members get to know you and how they can be the best support to you.
If you are interested in joining a team and have a competitive nature I would encourage you to see which team fits right for you and jump on board! We would be glad to have you!!
