Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge--for Losers and Maintainers

[Alex&Evan'sMom]

Is it too late to join? I'm a loser(feels kind of strange typing that). I'm about 1/3 of the way to my weight loss goal, but still have a large amount to lose. I would love to be able to commiserate with someone.

Never too late to join! PM me your starting weight so I can include you in the first weigh in next Friday.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

Keep those weigh ins coming! I have written down all that have come in so far! I'm at 46 so far!

I'm starting as a loser! I have about 12 pounds total I would like to lose. Didn't gain that much over the holidays but wanted to get rid of a few extra I think I could stand to lose.

Have a great day and I'll give an update so we can see where we all stand as a group (no specifics)

Don't forget to send me a goal of how much you would like to lose as well.

At the wellness center where I go the leader said one thing she thinks helped with my success this fall was that I set a goal for myself and focused on that.

I'll introduce myself to all of you later!

I don't have a scale so either I will send in what I think the Dr said at my appointment last Monday or I'll go out this afternoon and find one.

DUH- I'll get on my Wii board. That will give me my weight.

A lot of people use their Wii boards. If you are thinking about getting a scale, do it early in the challenge. I got a new scale a couple of weeks into the spring challenge last year and it was very depressing--I had to add like 6 pounds to my initial weight!

Please add me as a loser. My wife (TimonTracy) and I are going to get healthy this year and this will help us stay focused.

Add me as 47 (or maybe 48??) I totally fell off the wagon in the last 6 weeks of te last challenge and lost heart - I totally avoided the Boards because I knew I let myself down. But now is the time to pull myself together and get my rear in gear. (actually, I'd like to get rid of my rear!!) I will PM you my weight as soon I get up the nerve to step on the darn thing.

Please join Team Mickey!!! Welcome!

Rose, how do the Teams work? I am a little hesitant to commit because it's all i can do to keep up with the BL and Princess threads... BUT one of my goals for 2011 is to make the commitment for me...so it might help....

Happy New Year!

Is there a format you prefer for the PM? Like something specific in the Title (team name, "Biggest Loser", or our weight) I didn't see anything about that but I am kind of overwhelmed with all the information. Need more coffee!

Put your team name in the title and in the message part let me know your starting weight and your goal!!!

Welcome!!! I've seen you on different parts of the boards in the past! I love your photo! It always bring s a smile to my face!!!

We're up to 56 weigh ins so far!!!!

Just realized that teams are part of this challenge. Duh, me!

Just realized that teams are part of this challenge. Duh, me!

We have so many people signed up for the spring challenge we decided to break it into two smaller threads to start. We might merge at some point, but we will give everyone plenty of warning when we do.

I'm sorry that you fell off the wagon, but glad that you are back!

Please join Team Donald!

UGH! I was halfway through a post and then I hit the wrong key and Kerplooey!!!

Oh well, now to see if I can remember what I was saying!

61 PMs so far for weigh ins! I'm trying to keep my in box empty so keep 'em coming!

Don't forget to send me a goal as well. It can either be a weight or a total weight amount you hope to lose!

Kitchen is clean and margarita has been drunk!!! I also finished watching HP and the Half Blood Prince on the iPod. Love DD1s Karaoke machine since I can tunr the volume up loud enough to hear everything!

DH and Kids are watching something on Disney channel. I may shower soon and then we can play DD1s new Scene It Magical Moments game she got from our friends last night. DD2 got a hopscotch mat. DH and I got new Patriots t-shirts! We forgot them but our friend dropped them off this morning! So excited as I really wanted to wear mine tomorrow watching the Pats game! It's a red, white and blue tie-dye shirt with the Patriots logo. DH got a classic Patriots logo t-shirt. He ended up with 2 for Christmas but they were both different.

DD1 wants tacos for dinner so I will probably also make some enchiladas. I plan on starting my new weight loss journey on Monday. I just can't focus yet. We will be taking the tree down tomorrow as I want to enjoy it one more day. I have really loved this tree! So happy we switched to an artificial tree so there is less worry! Tomorrow will be chaos with taking the tree down and putting the ornaments away carefully. I also have to finish getting all the stuff for BB/BS. Guess it will have to go on next year's donations! Great way to start with about 12 bags of good clothes!

Just got another weigh in! Really trying to keep on top of them today!

Off to conquer another mountain in my house. Last load of home laundry going in and then it's my sheets and blanket from work! And maybe a dish of ice cream! I'm just still in holiday mode! It is slow-churned peppermint stick!

Please add me! I failed miserably with the fall challenge due to my inability to deal with the stress of house flood and then leg vein surgery. I'm back and ready to do this.

thanks!

 

[jamesnnick]

Please, oh please, add me to the challenge as a loser--I have done so well in the past when I was following the challenge...time to kick start it again!

Re QOTD:
We stayed in and had game night with the kiddos, played Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cheese Touch game, lol. Started to watch How to Train Your Dragon, and enjoyed the ball drop about a half hour into it. A very nice, quiet NYE, which reminded me of how blessed I am

I'm Michele, a FT teacher (HS) like so many of you. I have a great dh, 2 "energetic" ds's under 10, and am the primary caregiver for my cancer-survivor dad. Pulled in a lot of directions, as so many of you here are. I have this nagging 10 lbs that I've been wrestling with for the past few years, pretty much since our second child came along...

I was here last year, did well a few weeks, then lost my groove when I got eye surgery. But it's time. I love January 1st, full of such hope and promise!

and then we can play DD1s new Scene It Magical Moments game she got from our friends last night.

Tracey, Santa brought this game to our kids, too, and we've been having fun with it (and an older Disney Scene It) this winter break. They have some new challenges, hope you enjoy it!

Trying to convince my dh to join us, but you can only do it when you're ready, right?
BEST of luck to us all!
Michele
