BL Challenge *Black Team* Week 14 WE MADE IT

[donac]

Good Friday Morning

Well I finished the challenge the same as I started but at least it is not more. With being sick through the major part of this challenge it has really zapped me but this has kept me looking at my eating. Even without exerciseing for the last two months I have kept my weight the same and I think that this a big accomplishment. It has given the incentive to keep at it now that the challenge is over.

Have a great day.

 

[goldcupmom]

Well, I made it, but wasn't around much which I wanted to be, but my life happens like that. As of this morning I'm down a whopping 1.8 since we started, but I did not gain!!

Truthfully, I have been trying to focus on exercise as I know I can't lose without it. Getting the food back on track WITH the exercise habit I'm building should show progress eventually!

 

[simpilotswife]

I'm down about 6 pds total. I'll take that. My loss has definitely slowed a lot. I have to get back on the ball.

 

[Raenstoirm]

I don't remember my starting weight (and I am at family's house this weekend so I don't have my notebook here in NJ), but I think I have lost 15-20 lbs. It is almost exactly 21 lbs since election day, but technically I went up to get to the election day weight, if I remember correctly. So I don't remember my starting weight.

 

[heart4pooh]

I'm down 1.6 for this week.

I think I'm down 18 lbs total!!

This challenge has really helped me reach my goals and some!!!

I hope to lose another pound by Christmas and then hold steady until I get back from my trip to Washington DC on New Years Eve...

Have a wonderful holiday everyone!
And remember the reason for the season

 

[leanne2255]

I am also down 1.6 lbs this week, total of 32.8 since June. I was not prepared for a loss, but was hoping to maintain after my week-end in Chicago. It was a pleasant surprise.

Went back to look at my starting weight for BL and to date I am down 11.2 lbs. I was hoping ro reach my goal weight before my b-day in February, but that's another 21 lbs away. I don't think I'll make it. That's OK. I'll still continue on my journey past that date since my Dh has agreed to join WW at the New Year. I'm ecstatic about that. He'll probaby lose 50 before I lose mine, though.

Baked cookies this week-end. Cookies are my "crack". I could eat a dozen (or two) without blinking an eye. I only had bites, just so that I could taste them. I chewed gum the entire afternoon which kept me from putting batter, etc. in my mouth.

Looking forward to watching th BL Finale this week. I'm rooting for Michelle. Vicky and Heba were so hateful during the show, they don't deserve to win.

Hope everyone had a good week-end. Looking forward to the FINAL losing week.

Good MOnday morning. How is everyone doing?

I am almost done with my shopping but then my dh goes out and ruins the budget. I hope he doesn't do it this year. Tuition is due Wednesday for ds. Maybe that will keep him in line this year.


Have a great day. I too am hoping for Michelle to win. I have a concert to go to but I hope to be home in time for the last 5 minutes.

 

[donac]

Good Tuesday MOrning Good Luck to all the losers on the Black Team I hope that all your hard work has paid off.

Raenstoirm Before we close this thread will you please tell us all why you went backwards to your wedding.

 

[Raenstoirm]

Raenstoirm Before we close this thread will you please tell us all why you went backwards to your wedding.

Do you mean my sig? If so, I can explain that. Dh and I had been engaged for 4 years before we got married. With 7 parents between us, the planning of a wedding was not exactly easy. We planned a spring wedding, but secretly decided to elope on our 7 year anniversary in September. After, we kept the honeymoon in the spring and moved the reception to next September since my mother and her new husband are spending the month of May traveling around the country hitting as many states as they can.

 

[leanne2255]

Great show last night. I won't spoil it for those that may have not yet watched it. The voting was very interesting, but I say, KARMA is a bummer. For those that were not very nice on the show, they reaped what they sowed at the end.

Do we have one more weigh in this week? I have not seen any results posted so was not sure.

Glad to see another BL show is starting on 1/6. Looks to be very interesting from the trailer they played last night.

Happy Wednesday everybody.

Good Thursday Morning.

DS came home last night. He has 1 B already and he will find out his hardest class some time today. Keep your fingers crossed so he gets a B.

I think last week was the last weigh in. I am checking. An alumni thread is supposed to start tomorrow and there will be information about BL7. WE are working on doing something a little different for BL7.

Congrats Raenstoirm on being our bigggest loser this week.

Have to run. WE have to keep our fingers crossed so that you guys win our BL contest.

Congratulations ladies for sending in that final weight report and sticking with this challenge for 13 weeks!

Let's now look at what we have accomplished during this challenge

------------Black Team-------Blue Team---------Red Team-----Total
---------beginning/ending--beginning/ending--beginning/ending-----B/E
0-150 lbs---------------------------/1---------------1/2----------1/3
151-175 lbs------1/3---------------3/4---------------3/2---------7/9
176-200 lbs------3/2---------------3/1---------------1/1---------7/4
201-225 lbs------4/4----------------/1----------------1/3---------5/8
226-250 lbs------1/----------------1/-----------------2/1---------4/1
251-275 lbs-------------------------/1----------------1/----------1/1
276-300 lbs------------------------1/1----------------------------1/1
301-325 lbs------------------------1/-----------------------------1/0

How wonderful to see many players move to new decades (10 pound increments of weight)

How much did we actually lose?

-------------------Black Team-----Blue Team-----Red Team-----Total
0 pounds---------------1-----------------------------------------1
1-5 lbs-----------------1-------------1------------3--------------5
6-10 lbs----------------3-------------1---------------------------4
11-15 lbs---------------3-------------4------------2--------------9
16-20 lbs---------------1-------------1------------2--------------4
21-25 lbs-----------------------------2------------2--------------4

I will not name who lost how many pounds but I will say that
Black had a loser at 18.1 lbs
Blue had losers at 18, 22.5 and 25 pounds
Red had losers at 18.2, 19, 21 and 23 pounds

Our biggest loser in pounds was 25. I will not name this individual because I do not believe in posting % lost and # of pounds lost. A math genius can use that information to calculate the individuals weight and I'm not going there. Also remember that the biggest loser in pounds is not necessarily the biggest loser in % of weight lost.

I am especially pleased that 28 of our 29 finishers lost weight during the challenge. Our lone maintainer was fearless leader donac that has had health issues that prevented her from doing everything that she wanted with this challenge. She was out of work for two weeks and on pain medication for 6 weeks. She did not give up and under the circumstances is thankful for that maintain. Thanks goodness she is feeling better and will be joining us for BL7.

Let's name all of our superstars

0.000-donac-Dona
1.019%-goldcupmom-Julie

Congratulations Blue!! What a surprising finish, but the numbers do not lie.

Congratulations to you for reading until the end. I do have BL7 news but will post more tomorrow on our Alumni thread. The alumni thread will run until Friday January 2 when BL7 will start. That is the day initial weight reports are due. A sign up thread will begin on Monday December 22. I will post more info on BL7 tomorrow. It will be a little different and we need your help to make it successful. Stay tuned tomorrow. I say that a lot but I am tired now. All this figuring has me tuckered out.

Thank you losers for sticking with this challenge. I hope to see you all for BL7.
