WISH 'The Biggest Loser Contest' UPDATED WITH GREAT NEWS!

[WebmasterKelsie]

Good Morning! :)

It's been awhile since I've been here (and it's painfully obvious :()

I've decided it time (AGAIN) to get my eating under control.

I have a new challenge! Since the new 'The Biggest Loser' airs this week (Tuesday) I am starting a new challenge on the WISH Board.

The Rules are:

-We will start out as teams (to be determined) and the more people the better. We can also add to the teams as people join (but will keep them even). We will need a team captain for each team to help with motivation, tracking, etc. (volunteers?) Each team will need a 'team name'.
-Each team can also pick a fitness 'guru' to help with exercise motivation.
-Anyone can join!
-Any method of weight loss can be used
-You must sign in on this thread and grab a clippie
-Everyone will need to weigh in on the same day as the biggest losers weigh and post their loss here. I would like to have team totals posted to begin with so the team captains will need to track this on another thread. You will also need to track total individual weight loss.
-The contest will run the length of the show.
-We will go to individual weight loss when the show does.

The winner will be the person who loses the most weight during this time frame. The only difference is we will not be voting ANYONE off!

The winner will receive a one of a kind 'WISH Biggest Loser Contest Winner' clippie.

We don't care what you weigh so, you don't need to share that information! We are only tracking loss.

I know I'm rushing this since the program starts tomorrow so, please let's all sign up and have a little fun! :)


ps. I will have the clippie later today so please chack back!

[Laurajean1014]

Sign me up for being part of "the biggest loser." It sounds interesting and helpful.

[helenk]

Oh...please sign me up, I was just berating myself for going so far off program. I started to walk again yesterday but really need to start all over again.

[WebmasterKelsie]

Thanks Guy's :)

I think this will be a lot of fun. Not only will it motivate us, we will also make great new friends. I am working on the clippie now so, please sign up. We need more than 3 people.

[luvmydogs]

I am maintaining my weight loss now, so I can't join up, but I just wanted to give a big WELCOME HOME to Kelsie!

Since it was you who started WISH, then I have you to thank for giving me such a wonderful support system that immensely helps me maintain my 110 pound loss (which is actually a lot harder than losing it was in the first place)!

So good to have you back, Kelsie! :) :goodvibes :hug:

[lizdotcom99]

Add me to the list!

[wdw4life]

This sounds like fun! Add me to the list too!

[Mykelogan]

Hi All,

I think I might want in on this one! Great idea WebmasterKelsie!! Anyone know when the finale is this season?

Thanks!!!
Mike :goodvibes

[WebmasterKelsie]

If you join the 'WISH Biggest Loser' prior to September 16th, we are working on a great surprise for the person who loses the most weight. Remember, you have to officially sign up for the challenge on this thread prior to September 16th to be eligible! :)

[Blueeyes101817]

sounds like fun...i cant seem to lose any weight though haha

[WDWFAN9]

Sounds like fun, I don't have a lot to lose, but I just haven't been able to get it done. Actually I have lost the last 5 pounds about five times! I definitely need to make some progress in the right direction.

[pearlieq]

I wanna be on Mike's team!!! :goodvibes

[kaf7878]

I'll join--loved this show last year--can't wait till tonight!

[QuiltTeddy]

I'll join so long as people are starting their losses from scratch as the show starts.

[monte]

Sounds like fun... count me in! :earsgirl:

[MelanieC]

Sounds like fun to me too. Count me in.
Also if you need a volunteer for a team Capt, I'd be more than happy to help.

This is just what I need to get me going on the right track!!

[Lesli54]

I don't watch the show, but I am game for the challenge. ::MickeyMo ::MickeyMo

[nursetink]

Count me in. I love the show and really need some extra motivation to lose some weight.

[geetey]

I have been away from WISH too long and I need something to get me back into the swing, so I think this is just the push I need.

Sign me up!

[DoomBuggyBabe]

Well, I've never seen the show either (though I have become a closet Celebrity Fit Club addict :blush: ), but I could always use help in the motivation department. I really want to get serious about weight loss this time, and this sounds like fun. So count me in, please! :wave2:
Cheers,
LauraQ
:drinking1

[Laurajean1014]

I've never watched the show, so please bear with me!

[guangs]

Sign me up!!! I need some motivation!

[jennz]

I'm in...! Do we get Jillian pushing us to do just one more?? :rotfl:

[dopey4disney]

I'm in! I can't wait to get started :Pinkbounc

[WebmasterKelsie]

The rule is we start new! Only weight lost during the show will count. So, weigh in this evening and that will be your starting weight.

I have the Teams :)


Team RED

Team Blue still needs a Team Captain?

I'll add more tomorrow after I see what the show has in store tonight!

Don't forget to weigh tonight, that will be your starting number.

This is going to be fun and SUCCESSFUL! :)


still having problems with the clippie, I will have it soon!

[AuntieM03]

If it's not too late I would like to join in!!

[jennz]

Woo hoo! Go Blue! :cheer2: What does the captain do? I think I can do it...

[Mykelogan]

Go Red Team!!!
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I can only hope that we can get as cutthroat as the real Red Team did last season!!! Just Kidding! hehehe! :goodvibes

I am psyched for this challenge! Just weighed in... do we report somewhere? hehe

Thanks so much for setting it up Kelsie!

Mike :sunny:

[lizdotcom99]

GO RED!!! GO RED!!! GO RED!!!

I have SO MUCH weight to lose! This is sure a fun way to do it :banana: :banana: :banana:

Now, do I weigh with my clothes on......or off...... :rotfl2:


Good luck one and all!!


:wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard:

[geetey]

Hi Liz,
Even though we aren't on the same team, I think the best answer is weigh in tonight with your clothes on and next time without your clothes. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:

Do we have to be the BLUE team? I love the Cardinals (red), dislike the Cubs (blue)... what about Disney colors and make us Team BLACK?? What do you think Kelsie? Or LIME GREEN for the DIS?

[monte]

I don't watch the show on a regular basis, so what do we do...... I got the weighing in part, but do you weigh in every week? What type of exercises? Sorry for the questions, but I'm alittle confused about the rules.

Go Red Team! :cheer2:

[pearlieq]

GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheer2:

Wait, let me rephrase that... :teeth:

Please let me know if we're supposed to post our starting weight somewhere.

[Pixie Girl]

Sorry posted to wrong thread

[dopey4disney]

Woo Hoo!!! :banana:

Go Team Blue!!!

I'm off to the scale.

[Blueeyes101817]

im on the list...but i was afraid i shouldnt do this--i know its like a "contest"...i have about 10-15 lbs left to lose--but i cant seem to lose it..so i think i may hurt the team...should i just stop playing now? dont want to upset anyone!!

[tootsiemolly]

Sign me up. I need HELP!!!!

Angee

[nursetink]

GO RED TEAM! I'm off to weigh in. Good luck all. :cheer2: :cheer2:

[lizdotcom99]

im on the list...but i was afraid i shouldnt do this--i know its like a "contest"...i have about 10-15 lbs left to lose--but i cant seem to lose it..so i think i may hurt the team...should i just stop playing now? dont want to upset anyone!!

Well that depends....are you on the red team or the blue team ;) Actually I think you should stay! We are all in this for a little fun and motivation. Losing weight regardless of how much you have to lose is a struggle! Whatever it takes to get it off is what matters!!!! For me, the compitition may be just what I need. I think, wait, I take that back....I KNOW you will find a GREAT deal of encouragement and support here.

I have seen it time and time again! I WISH much of the wonderful support and friendships that I have found here! We are all in this together!

Stay, play and have a GREAT time getting fit!!!! :goodvibes

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[WebmasterKelsie]

Hi Everyone!

WOW, after watching the Biggest Loser, I am more motivated than ever!

I promise no one will have to tell their weight. It's something I have never been comfortable with doing or seeing. The next step is the Team Captains need to start a thread for their teams. Once everyone has weighed, they need to report to their teams. Next week, each team member will need to post their loss on the team thread. Then it will be the team captain’s job to report what each person lost and the team total loss for week 1. I am also working on a clippie for the weekly winners to display. :)

Also, each team needs to elect a Fitness Guru! This person can be part of the team or another DIS member who can motivate the team to exercise and eat healthy.

The real point of this is support from your team. Share ideas, things that have worked for you and help those who are having a difficult time.

I am winging this a bit and am open to suggestions. We can change the color's so, each team needs to decide which color they want. Anything will work except for lime green which I am already using for something else. ;)

[lizdotcom99]

Hi Liz,
Even though we aren't on the same team, I think the best answer is weigh in tonight with your clothes on and next time without your clothes. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:


You read my mind!!!! :rotfl2:

[monte]

Red is good for me

[RoyalCinderella]

Count me in!

[Mykelogan]

"I'm red, I'm always red."

(Can anyone guess the movie that quote is from? hehe Anyway, I'm ok with red or anything else if someone hates red. :))

Sleep well Red Team!!! Have a happy & healthy tomorrow!!!
(The Blue Team too!)

Mike :goodvibes

[K and K's Mommy]

I would love to be a part of this if it is not too late. I weighed myself this morning. I've never watched the show, but I need some motivation!

[wdw4life]

Weighed in! :cheer2: Go Blue Team!!! :cheer2:

[geetey]

im on the list...but i was afraid i shouldnt do this--i know its like a "contest"...i have about 10-15 lbs left to lose--but i cant seem to lose it..so i think i may hurt the team...should i just stop playing now? dont want to upset anyone!!

Jen, don't quit! We're on the same team!! Since I don't think a free trip to WDW or a Powerball jackpot is at stake, I doubt anyone is going to mind how you do, but we will be rooting for you to be a loser! ;) :cheer2:
Stay! Play!! Lose!!!
Group hug Team! :grouphug:

Since I was the one who mentioned the color just ignore it, Kelsie. I am okay with blue. We are going to be Team BLUEsers!

[Blueeyes101817]

thanks guys--just wanted to make sure it didnt really matter ....but im here and staying on the blue team!!

[Lesli54]

I weighed last night, can we weigh in the morning at the end? :rolleyes1

Now what? Does the Blue have a captain, yet? ::MickeyMo ::MickeyMo

[TammyNC]

Is it too late to join? If not, I think I'm game for this. Just saw the last little bit of the show last night for the first time too. Let me know what I need to do.

[QuiltTeddy]

BLUE TEAM ROCKS! GO BLUE! GO BLUE!

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:


Just a suggestion -- when someone starts the actual team threads, if you post the link in this thread, it would make it easier for everyone to find.

Did blue team elect a captain yet?

[robinb]

If it's not too late, I'd like to join too. I subscribed to this thread yesterday and thought about it. I only have a total of 15-20 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight, but I have had that same 15-20 pounds to lose for the past year! Individual motivation didn't work for me. I hope that a team motivation will do it for me as I wouldn't want to let my team members down. I weighed myself this morning (yikes!) so I am ready to go!

[MelanieC]

Hey everyone,

I posted a "Team Red" thread here (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=911155).

I am so excited and motivated by the show last night. I think both the Blue team and Red team will ROCK! :cheer2: There will be no "Loosers". EVERYONE will be the BIGGEST WINNERS!!

I encourage everyone to join. It will be a great motivational tool. I loose weight and exercise better when I have a goal or a motivation to drive me. Like this contest or a Marathon. It really keeps me focused.

[jennz]

Hi everyone, I'm the captain for the Blue Team :wave2: I started our thread for week one Blue Team Week 1 (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=911173) Come and visit! :banana: Like Melanie said - we're all going to be the Biggest Winners when this is over! Thanks so much Kelsie for the idea and starting this!! :grouphug:

[mountaineer]

Can I still sign up too? That show always makes me want to exercise.

[hlane]

I'd like to join if it's not too late!

[agotta]

I would like to sign up too!! I don't have much to lose (20 lbs maybe). But I would still like to join!

[WeirdEyes]
