Welcome! Please join Team Mickey!

Welcome to everyone! Please read either the first page of this thread or your team thread for details about the challenge. PM your starting weight to Tigger813 along with your Team name. Anytime you pm Tracey please include your team name to make it easier for her. If you have any questions, jump on your thread and I'm sure someone will get back to you.

Thanks!


Tracey--great job with the weight keeping! There are a lot of folks to keep track of!!!!

 

[tigger813]

If you were omitted from the lists and think you should've been included it may be an issue with PMs! I had several people resend PMs to me that I never received. Please send a PM with your team name and your initial weigh in and first week's results if you feel you were excluded. I will then update my list.

People who signed up late were not included as there had to be a cut off with initial weigh ins and 1st week weigh ins. I had people joining up until Thursday night.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with this at the moment and I'm sure it will get better. I have almost 160 people ( and counting)to keep track of right now. With that amount I do not reply to most PMs. There is just not enough time for me to do that. This is why I am sending out reminders to those I have not received weights from on Saturday night and Sunday night and Monday morning if I have time.

***Please congratulate smile4stamps who also had a loss of 2.8% this week.

Time to head down to the elliptical! Anyone else joining me and working out during the show? I hope they introduce the new trainers tonight!!!! I think one is Koli!!!! The silhouette looked like him!!!!

****New people that just joined us today! I will add you to my spreadsheets as soon as I get your PM! ****

[Mrs D]

I Just want to give 3 cheers to all those helping run this challenge. I can understand what a big job it is.

I can't tell you how motivating and encouraging this challenge is. It is really helping keep me on track!

Thanks to each and every one of you!

 

[Rose&Mike]

I wanted to take a minute to thank Dona, CC, Connie, and especially Tracey for all of their hard work on the spring challenge. We have a HUGE amount of active participants this spring, and as you can imagine, it is a lot of work to keep track of everything.

This is Tracey's first challenge as weight keeper and she is doing a fabulous job. Please if you have any questions or you think data is missing, let us know.

To make things as easy as possible for folks managing the challenge, please always remember to include your team name when sending a pm.

Remember that for weight you simply have to pm your current weight and your team name.

For WIN, your total inches and team name.

For HH your total points, and a breakdown for each challenge (ex: total 12/21, exercise 7/7, water 5/7) along with your team name.

Thank you again to Dona, Tracey, CC and Connie and thank you to all of our participants. We have a fabulous group and I think there are going to be lots of 'Losers" this Spring!!!

Welcome to Healthy Habits!

My name is CC (short for Christina) and I will be your Healthy Habits coach for BL 11. I love the BL challenges and Healthy Habits has helped me significantly in achieving many of my goals.

Some Background Information: Thanks to donac (Dona-hostess of Team Donald) and jenanderson for their amazing help so I know how to coach! I couldn’t do this without seeing them in action previously. I will be continuing the prizes that Jen started.

Here’s How Healthy Habits Works: Each week there will be 3 Healthy Habits (HH) to complete. The first two HHs will always be drinking water and exercising. (Note: The amount and time will increase throughout the challenge!) At the end of each week, you will tally up the number of points you earned for the week and send me a private message with your total. Here’s an example. For Week 1, the 3 HHs are drink Six 8 oz. glasses of water a day, exercise a minimum of 20 minutes per day, and eat at least 3 servings of vegetables a day. If on 4 days you get in all 3 HHs, you would report your points like this:

4/6 days of drinking water
4/6 days of exercising
4/6 days of eating veggies
Your total points (ex: 12/18) should be in the subject of your PM.

This is a team competition. On/about Tuesday evening, I will post the week’s results. I will share the number of participants on each team and the top scorers on each team. New for BL 11: I will also list the people who earned 7/7 on one or more of the HHs for the week. If you participated on the team with the most participants, you will be entered into a drawing for the week's prize. Each prize will have something to do with the 3rd Healthy Habit for the week. I will post the winner and ask that you PM me your contact information. (Please Note: If you do not wish to be entered into the drawing, please let me know in your PM. I understand people’s WISHes for privacy.)

Participation in Healthy Habits is entirely optional, but I encourage you to participate and help your team be on top for the week. Good luck on your journey and I hope that HHs helps you as much as it continues to help me!

Welcome to Health Habits Week 3

Week 1 is 1/14-1/20

This week's 3 Healthy Habits are:
1) Drink Six 8 oz. glasses of water.
2) Exercise a minimum of 20 minutes a day.
3) Eat at least 2 servings of fruit a day.

At the end of the week, please PM me your points. I will post the results on/about Tuesday. Don't forget, this is a team competition!

If you have any questions, please free to ask.
