Biggest Loser 9 Spring Challenge -- read important information here and chat below

[jbm02]

I am so happy I found this thread today! I hit a plateu this year and have been stuck at the same weight for the last 4 months - NOT where I want to be. Hopefully this will keep me motivated and on track. My goal is 20 lbs... Thanks for putting this together!!!

i know our challenge hasn't officially started yet but I just got the wii fit for xmas (used it for the first time tonight) and its sooo fun. I also got the EA Sports thing, haven't tried that just yet but will get on that soon.

I'm super excited!!!

I'm in! I lost some this summer, but I REALLY want to lose some and get fit before this coming summer! My goal is 20 lbs, and BETTER FITNESS for myself!!

I'm in!!! I lost 65 pounds here on WISH 5 years ago..but life got the best of me and 2 house payments for 2.5 years (the other house closes January 8th!!!! Our first weigh in!!!) put me in a state of eating...so I've been walking on the treadmill and watching what I eat, I lost 12 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas!!

We take our first Disney Cruise in May so this challenge is EXACTLY what I needed!!!

Thanks all, I can help encourage if anyone has life hit them during their support week!

Blessings,
Tara

Please add me to the list. I really need the accountability in order to help keep me on track. I have about 50 pounds I'd like to lose, and I'll take any and all help I can get.
Thanks!

Of course we will have you! You will find that many of us are veterans of multiple challenges. Think of it this way: you may not have lost, but without this challenge, you could have gained. I know that even though I haven't always been successful on Weight Watchers, but I know for a fact that I would weigh a lot more now than if I hadn't attempted at all.

Jessi is right, Shirley, of course we will have you. That is one of the things about our BL challenge we always welcome you back with open arms! And you may not have lost any weight but you didn't gain any and that is a good thing!

Thank you both for the warm welcome back into the fold, lol.

I would love to join as well!!

Question though: Are weights just posted as the whole number or is it xxx.x, or either one? Thanks!

I can't wait. I terminated my LA Fitness gym membership last October and my mom got me one of those $299 2-yr memberships to 24 Hour Fitness for Christmas! I'm going to start that on Jan 1 and I can't wait!

Just had to post so I could see myself wearing our new, gorgeous clippie! Big props to Cousin Corinna, who brings wisdom, success and experience to the Challenge -- along with some fabulous talent! I can already feel the spring in the air and in my step with her cute design!

I'm so grateful to find this thread now.. I've been making plans to get serious and consistent Jan 1.
My goal is to loose weight, feel better, and be more active by my next birthday (April 18 )

I'd like to come back again too!! This board helped me lose about 10 lbs in the fall challenge. Unfortunately, I hurt my back just before Thanksgiving and wasn't able to exercise I maintained for several weeks - but I think I've gained a couple here over Christmas I haven't stepped on the scale - so I don't know for sure - but my clothes feel a little tighter - so I know it's not great.

But, I finally went back to the gym yesterday and thankfully my back did okay - so I'm ready to start up again! I have about 20 lbs to lose for our April trip. So bring on the weight loss! I'm psyched!

Thanks to LuvBaloo, Donac and all our coaches!

I've had the WiiFit for a year and had slowed down on using it, but I got the WiiFit Plus for Christmas and am having fun with again! Have fun unlocking all the games! I really enjoy hulahoop, boxing, step, and cycling

I would love to join as well!!

Weights can be submitted as xxx or xxx.x, whichever you like. I track things as xxx.x but not everybody's scale can do that, so xxx is fine too.

Serious and Consistent! I think I'm going to borrow that and make it my motto for this challenge!

Of course we will have you! You will find that many of us are veterans of multiple challenges. Think of it this way: you may not have lost, but without this challenge, you could have gained.

Well said! and so true!

Please sign me up as a loser. Would like to lose a lot for the Panama cruise.

Even though I'm not quite sure how this works (never done one before), you can count me in. Kind of scared though. I keep reading how people need to lose 10, 15, maybe 50 pounds. Does anyone need to lose more than 150? Cause that's me.

My main "resolution" this year is just to be more active (well, active period) I live a VERY, VERY sedentary life (from my job to my home life). So the main thing that I am going to work on first is to get in some sort of activity everyday (whether it's just a walk, playing an "active" Wii game or SOMETHING) Once I get that as a regular part of my life, then I'll work on my "diet". I'm not cutting out any food, I will watch my portions and severely cut back on butter & salt (those are my two worse enemies---even worse than junk food)

So I will step on that scale on come Friday and send in my weight. But please don't fall off the chair when that number comes through inbox. LOL I think this is what I need (some type of accountability).

Here's to 2010!!!
