Biggest Loser Fall 2011 Planning Thread

[BernardandMissBianca]

Rose I can coach for a week. I don't know the sports schedule for the kids yet, but thankfully I can DIS from my phone!! LOL

Let me know where you need me.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Coach (first month)
8/26--Rose--Summer challenge ends
9/2--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/3--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/4--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/5--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/6--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/7--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/8--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/9--New challenge begins! (coach needed)

9/23--Nancy--dumbo_buddy
9/30--Lisah0711

Thanks for everyone who volunteered. I still need someone for the week of the 9th and 16th.

The week of the 2nd, I thought we'd take Lisa's suggestion and just do a coach of the day rotation and try to keep if fun. If you would like to do one day during that week, please let me know.

Buffy--thanks for volunteering, just let me know what works for you, and if you want to wait until October, that's ok!

Rose, you could switch my 9/30 week with the 9/9 week of coaching. I like coaching that first week. I'd also do 9/2 or any of those earlier days in the coach of the day rotation. I like coach of the day because it is just a one day commitment.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling!

Hi Rose!

I can take 9/7...sorry I can't do anything else in September. We have visits from my dad and Dennis's stepdad and their wives, and the month is crazy! I'm planning to coach in Oct. or Nov., though!

Perfect! I wanted to have things lined up for Janis in September since the thread continues to be so active. I will switch you!

Updated.

 

[bellebookworm9]

I can coach the week of 9/30, and am also willing to do either 9/1,2, or 3 for the coach of the day.

I might also be interested in keeping track of WIN! if Connie doesn't want to do it, but I need some info about what it entails.

 

[glss1/2fll]

Ah, Gretchen. I was just going to say I could possibly do WIN, but have no idea what it entails and needed more info! Go for it!

 

[Rose&Mike]

Gretchen--I will put you down for the week of 9/30 and for 9/3.

I am guessing that Connie will still want to do WIN. But I will keep you in mind if she decides not to this fall! Thanks for volunteering to coach.

The coaches schedule is updated on the first page.

 

[tigger813]

I'll coach the week of 9/16...kids will be back in school and as far as I know I'm not going to NC that following week.

Brian's working on setting up my new laptop. It will take some time for me to get used to it.

Gotta go for now!

Perfect!
Thanks Tracey!

Here's where we are at:
8/26--Rose&Mike--Summer challenge ends
9/2--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/3--Bellebookworm9 Gretchen--Between the challenge
9/4--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/5--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/6--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/7--Worfiedoodles--Between the challenge
9/8--Between the challenge (coach needed)
9/9--Lisah0711--New challenge begins!
9/16--tigger813--Tracey
9/23--Nancy--dumbo_buddy
9/30--Bellebookworm9--Gretchen

So we just need to fill in a few more coach of the day spots and then we are good to go for September.

Once Janis posts the new thread, I am sure she will ask for volunteers for the rest of the fall challenge.

 

[SettinSail]

Thank you again for weight keeping this summer Dona! Don't even worry about the fall. Sounds like you are going to be busy! We have decided to do one team for the fall.

Buzz5985 (Janis) has graciously volunteered to be our hostess for the fall! Thank you so much Janis! I have assured her that we will all be here to help her out and support her as much as possible!

dvccruiser76 (Sue)--I have sent you a pm about weight keeping for the fall challenge. Please let me know if you are still interested.

******
Clippie for the fall challenge--I have no idea if there is still a clippie floating around still or not. Anyone interested in designing one for fall if we can't find the old one?

Tenatively, the fall challenge will start September 9th. I am going to put together a coaching schedule for at least the first month so Janis doesn't have to worry about it. (I believe she has a vacation coming up!)

8/26--Summer challenge ends (Rose coach)
9/2--Between the challenge (coach needed--Shawn???)
9/9--New challenge begins! (coach needed)
9/16--coach needed
9/23--coach needed
9/30--coach needed

Ok, I believe that's it for now! Thanks for all your help everyone!

Sorry, I am just now seeing this! I'll be glad to coach the week of 9/2...I think I was scheduled to coach a week near the end of the Summer Challenge, was it supposed to be 8/26? Just put me where you need me and let me know

 

[Rose&Mike]

Did you want to take the whole week Shawn? If so, we will do that and get rid of the coach of the day rotation.

Sorry for any confusion!

 

[SettinSail]

I'll do that unless you prefer that I take another week - just let me know

 

[Rose&Mike]

I'll do that unless you prefer that I take another week - just let me know

Nope, that works.

I am sure Gretchen and Maria will understand.

Coaches for September:
Here's where we are at:
8/26--Rose&Mike--Summer challenge ends
9/2--SettinSail (Shawn)--between the challenge
9/9--Lisah0711--New challenge begins!
9/16--tigger813--Tracey
9/23--Nancy--dumbo_buddy
9/30--Bellebookworm9--Gretchen

 

[Worfiedoodles]

No problem at all -- one less QOTD to invent! :

It looks like we're in great shape for the next Challenge -- Rose thank you so much for getting everything tiptop, did I mention you have been a fabulous hostess?!

Thank you to everyone taking on the heavy lifting for the Fall Challenge! We are so lucky to have people who will keep things running smoothly!

Here is the BL Fall clippie that we used for Fall 2009 (BL8)

and the one we used for BL Fall 2010

. These clippies were made by the beautiful and talented corinnak. If you want to reuse them we would need to ask her to make them for BL12 or just go with the generic "Fall Challenge" and they can be used over and over like we do with the summer challenge now.

The new Biggest Loser show starts 9/20 and is a couples show. It will be BL12 in case we want to ask if someone wants to design a new clippie for fall.

 

[dumbo_buddy]

ooo i love those clippies! how festive for the fall. only problem - they REALLY make me want pumpkin pie does anyone know how to change it so it just says fall challenge? that way we can reuse them.

thanks, rose, for putting this all together! it's shaping up to be a great fall! and you know what that translates to? great losses! heck, at one point at the end of november i'm bound to drop like 7lbs in one week

 

[lisah0711]

I think I might be able to make it be a generic Fall Challenge clippie. I'll try it later today -- after I get some work done.

Okay, got it. Let's see how it looks in cyberspace.

I know it would look nicer if we could move the biggest loser thing down a bit but sadly we cannot as we don't have access to the original file with the layers. Corinna had a software upgrade since she did this for us but has graciously allowed us to make this modificiation for the generic.

Someone with greater computer skills could always try and make a new clippie, too.

 

[lisah0711]

Here is generic fall clippie try number two. It looks a bit more centered.

Lisa, I think either one looks great. They are very festive!
