Biggest Loser?

[Eeyores Butterfly]

I've seen lots of people with W.I.S.H. Biggest Loser icons in their sigs, and am wondering what this is. Are there any current "events" on the board at the moment?

Eeyore,

I am a loser and proud of it!! WISH has run several Biggest Loser Challenges that have coincided with the NBC television show. Look for a new challenge to start in the fall when the TV show returns. Watching the show is not required to join the WISH Biggest Loser challenge. No one is ever kicked off our challenge. Sometimes we have teams, sometimes we do not. We have challenges and a weekly weigh in. We have a weekly thread to encourage each other and celebrate our victories.

As I mentioned join us when the new season of BL starts on TV. Stay tuned to the WISH forum for sign ups. Additional announcements are usually made on the Community board and the Disney Cruise Line forum.

Meanwhile keep on losin' and coming here for support. I am having a great summer and even survived a one month vacation with a loss. WOO HOO!!

Anyone know when this should start? I'll be at WDW from 9/2 - 9/10, and I don't want to miss signing up.

The new season of the NBC TV show starts Tuesday September 16. I'm not sure when we will start sign ups or when the first weigh in will be. Most people enjoyed our Friday weigh in but nothing is set in stone yet. If anyone has suggestions or would like to help with our challenge please check in here.

Also keep in mind that you are welcome to join the challenge at any time so being a little late is never a problem.

I hope all you 'losers' will be joining the WISH 6 Biggest Loser Challenge soon. Stay tuned for more details.

Have a healthy day!

I'm in to help again this season if needed!

I cant wait for the show to start back up again. Not so much for the show, but to get the group back together. It is such a motivator.

I vote for Friday as the weigh-in day. It is always good to have a few days to "make-up" for a bad weekend before you get on the scale.

I'm so happy that the W.I.S.H. board is running the Biggest Loser Challenge again.

Hi. I'd like to join a group when the Biggest Loser Challenge starts again.

Hi.

I'm really trying to get motivated to get myself healthy. I'm 45 years old and need to lose 100 lb. I'm prediabetic. I'm very busy with work and 3 kids. But I'm not very physically active and it's hard for me to get motivated to exercise. And I don't seem to be able to stay on a weight loss program for more than a few days. I know its up to me and I have to take control.

I'm looking forward to joining a biggest loser group on DIS. Hopefully this will help me get started on my journey to being healthy.

I was so amazed at how good Ali looked after losing all her weight on last season's Biggest Loser. My sister had gastic bypass surgery and lost about 100 lbs in 8 months. And she looked great, but she had a lot of loose skin in her stomach and arms. Ali looks so toned with no loose skin. I know that it must of been all the exercise that Ali was doing that made the difference. But I just assumed that if you lost 100 lbs there was no getting around having loose skin, exercise or not.

Has anyone managed to lose that much weight and not have loose skin? I wonder how much exercise it takes to not get the loose skin? My sister ended up having a tummy tuck and she looks great. But that costs a lot of money. In Ali's case, she was working out all day with a trainer.

And has anyone joined the Biggest Loser online? I wondered if this was worth the money.

I guess I should have looked a little harder I just posted a question if we were having a new challange. I am interested in joining a new challange because I need the support to get my butt back in gear after dealing with injury and a busy schedule.

 

[dare2dream]

Yes the WISH Biggest Loser 6 challenge is coming. Biggest Loser Central is now in negotiations to get this party started. A sign up thread will be posted soon. If you are interested in participating please make sure you sign up there.

Our Biggest Loser Challenge will only be successful with the help of dedicated volunteers. This involves a time commitment of about 15 weeks. We may need team captains that will maintain a weekly team thread and act as cheerleader and motivator for their team. We may also need challenge coaches that will post a weekly team challenge provided to them and collect and compile team challenge point totals. If you have any questions about these positions post here. If you think you have what it takes to be on the WISH BL6 staff please post here or PM me.

I'm looking forward to losing with you all.

Have a healthy day!
