*** disclaimer - participants who didn't reveal their location or region were placed to divide teams evenly.

Let's get this party started! By tomorrow, Wednesday September 6, everyone needs to PM their respective team captain with their start weight in order for weight loss percentages to be figured. Each week on Wednesday team members will need to report in their weekly weigh in number to the team captain to track and report results. Team captains can put a time deadline if they choose.

otherwise, i'm new at this too -- so we'll be take it week by week.

also, someone asked if watching the show was a requirement? of course not. I'm betting you can track the progress of the show on the website. the only requirements are to check in weekly, take a before picture if you have the capability too, and have fun with this while encouraging each other to be LOSERS!!!

Thanks for all your work ohMom!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

Morning my felllow LOSERS

Yep - today is the day and we are off and losing!!!

Thanks ohMom for getting the teams together and making the rules - simple

I have a question.............. will we have a thread for BLUE and one for red (for encouragement) or do we all post to one thread together???

In the meantime, I'll just start with GO BLUE - it's a new day, time for a new YOU and getting healthy !!!

 

[Mermaid02]

Sounds Great! And I am from Maine!!

 

[ohMom]

ok ok ok Jill, i was tired. not to often I use the state abbreviation for Alaska!

well i stepped on the scales this morning to find i had regained most of the weight i lost for the back-to-school challenge. i'm so tired of the up and down business i want to LOSE and keep it OFF!

any word on our clippie??

 

[MelanieC]

Hi everyone,

I'm so glad to be back on track. Yesterday went well and I'm sure it helped with my first official WI this morning.

Bev- I'll start the Blue Team off with an official Thread. Last time we had a red thread and a blue thread.

Molli- Since going to Disney this year I've gained 13 pounds. How is that possible in just 1 month??? or actually 2 weeks. Luckily, I lost a couple of pounds of that before going to Las Vegas and it seems like I'm back to where I was when I got home from Disney. I was afraid I had actually gained way more that that. WHEW!

At least today (well technically yesterday) starts a new trend. I really want to keep this off for good too. I'm so tired of this yo-yo up and down stuff.

 

[Hockeychic]

Yikes, how did I miss this. Is it too late to join?

Thanks

Kim

 

[njcarita]

Are we going to have weekly challenges?????

 

[ohMom]

Kim -- not to late in my book! I'll add you to the RED team as that is the "Northern" team -- today you need to weigh in and PM your team captain with your start weight. Also, if you have capabiltiy, take a front and side picture of yourself for your 'before' picture and just hang on to it for now

 

[ohMom]

couple questions in general -- sorry for double post but forgot this stuff

are challenges completed seperately or as a competition between teams?

did you all have a prize last year??

 

[Hockeychic]

Thank you so much i will go do that now.

Thanks for the welcome and good luck!!!!

Kim

 

[Mermaid02]

I'm so excited! I was placed correctly too- I am from Central Maine. I love my new tag!

I weigh in tonight so I can post my starting weight after Weight Watchers!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Oh no, Is it too late? I saw Kim was added on, can I join too please??? I am from Wisconsin, which team for me??? PLEASE LET ME IN!!! I need this!

 

[daisy_77]

Hi, everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone luck!

I am so excited to be a part of this!! Woohoo!!

 

[MelanieC]

Hi Molli,
Last year each team did individual challenges. Somehow there was a prize from Dreams Unlimited. I'm not sure how that worked.

I think it would be cool to have a "blue/Red exercise challenge". Each week we could tally how many minutes of INTENTIONAL exercise we do and maybe we can make a clippie that is for the winning team to wear that week. We could also make a winning clippie possibly for the winning team to "wear" each week.

Princess Vija - Of course you can join- The more the merrier!

 

[ohMom]

i see we have two more team members! yea for us! we ROCK!

Vija - PM me with what part of your state you live in like Northern, Central or Southern. We divided according to region in honor of the show this year; but we were really Northern heavy if I did it by states, so i went by region within your state. make sense??

 

[o2bacelt]

I've heard from 8 of the Red Team members.

I'm looking to hear from:

minniemousemom
calena
littlemissmickey
tasha+scott
miandrea
j_lehr

Thanks to ohMom for getting this rolling!

 

[FreshTressa]

I actually just started my diet today...

Can I join?

I lost 50lbs 3 years ago and have gained 30 back. I'm at a good place in my life to do something like this.

 

[FreshTressa]

Oh...and I can be blue...I'm in 'central' washington.

 

[DaisyLynn]

I'm so excited! I was placed correctly too- I am from Central Maine. I love my new tag!

I weigh in tonight so I can post my starting weight after Weight Watchers!

Hey! I'm from central Maine too!

I lurk on the WISH boards usually, but I'd love to get involved with this! If it's not too late, I'd be most happy to join you ladies (and any gents that may be here as well)!
