Hi everyone!

I won't be joining this year, but I just wanted to say what a wonderful challenge this is! I joined last year and lost a fair bit of weight (and have kept it off minus a couple pesky vacation pounds! ). Being able to talk to other challengers about the struggles, the successes and everything in between was invaluable. I would have loved to join this year and lose more weight, but I have too much on my plate this fall to participate in the challenge (and to post regularly), but I will be following all your successes. I hope you don't mind having a cheerleader around!!

Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is perfect timing!! Tomorrow is the final weigh-in at my company's Biggest Loser contest, and not to brag or anything, but I think I will win We've been doing the Biggest Loser at work since June 1st, and each week I've been in the lead. I'm fairly confident that I will win tomorrow. I'll post back and let you all know! lol

So please count me in on the DIS WISH Biggest Loser!!

This sounds like a great idea . . . I would love to play . . . however I will miss the first weight loss weigh in on the 11th b/c I'll be in Disney. Is that ok?

I agree, what a place to be! More than ok, and have a great time! Remember our first weigh in (starting weigh in) is on the 4th. Just give us the stats when you get back! AND a trip report so we can vicariously live through your trip!

I'm in, I will be away for the first two weigh ins if we start on the 11th. I will weigh in before I leave and when I get back

No problem! If it is a vacation... have a great time! Same as above, just let us know when you get back. Safe journey to ya!

I would love to join the challenge!
Count me in!

A special welcome to a newbie! Glad to have you join us!

Hopefully all will be better for you soon. Congrats for keeping the weight off! THat is a big part of the battle... Or so they say... I have yet to make it to the keeping it off part! Thanks for being our cheerleader! We will certainly appreciate it!

 

[ohMom]

ok -- i have edited our list of participants so everyone who posted prior to this post should be on the list. please post again if (for shame!) Vija or I overlooked you not intentionally of course!


and Vija -- thank you for pointing out that we definately don't boot anyone out!!


at this point i'm thinking we'll continue to list out WISHers in order of sign-up -- let's say midnight EST on Sept 3rd -- then on the 4th we'll divide the list into three teams, as equal as possible depending on the number of sign-ups. like if there are 30 signed up, listed in the order of their post, then WISHers 1 - 10 will be Blue team; WISHers 11 - 20 will be Red team; and WISHers 21 - 30 will be Black team. just as example, colors don't matter really they don't Actually we'll take the team captains out of the list and put them in with teams in respect to their order of sign up too.

does anyone object to that method or have a better way?

 

[disneyluv]

Sounds like fun...Count me in

Hopefully this will keep me motivated.

 

[slk537]

Oh please sign me up too!!! I am loving the show and have all the episodes from today on Style Network recorded and ready for me this weekend.

How are the colors done? I have a huge weakness for Blue if we can choose, but I'm fine with anything.

Can't wait!!

 

[Tine731]

May I join? I really need some motivation.

If there is room count me in. Thanks.

Thanks, I just have to not gain 10 pounds when I am on the Disney Magic for 2 weeks. Perhaps I should just starting weighing in once I am back. Nope, I am determined to not gain on my trip, so I am using my pre-trip weight as my starting weight. I know it will be a challenge but I know I can do it.

 

[LaLaroo78]

I would love to join as well! I love the show and I have both BL workout DVD's! I'll miss the third weigh in because of vacation but will post before I leave!

Thanks for organizing this! This sounds like fun!

Good luck to everyone!

I have updated the list so far, please let me know if I accidently missed your name.

 

[NancyK]

Could you add my name to the list? I'm going to Disney mid-September for free dining so my progress isn't going to be great for the first few weeks but I need to get serious about weight loss as soon as I get back. Thanks.

ok -- everyone should be on the list at this point -- i moved the team captains to the top seperately so we can keep track of members for dividing

i'm heading out of town for the weekend -- but i'll be back monday and can post the team lists first thing Tuesday morning -- like by 9 a.m. ohio time

EVERYONE --- be sure to weigh yourself on TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 4th!! stay tuned for team lists and then instructions from your captain on how to report your weekly WI

have a GREAT weekend!!

Are we posting out initial weight here--or PMing our team captains with it?

 

[mommyoeo]

I'll do it too. Christy

 

[ohMom]

keep your first weigh-in number to send to your team captain -- once the teams are divided and then announced, each team captain will post on how they prefer to have their teammates send in their weigh-ins (email or PM). some folks may not want to publicly post their weights and i would hate for that to keep them from joining

some folks may not want to publicly post their weights

THAT'S the truth!
