BL Challenge - RED team - week 12

[lisaviolet]

Hear Ye Hear Ye, the Weightkeeper speaks

There is a nip in the air. The Christmas carols have started. Christmas specials are on TV. The mall decorations are up. It's that time of the year to celebrate. It's also the time that many Americans put on a few pounds. Losers we need to stick together to make sure that is not us. Let's finish up this challenge with a bang. Let's triumphantly enter the holidays ready to tackle the obstacles that stand between us and our healthy lifestyle.

I am glad so many had some of Jens 'magical turkey' last week. Of our 23 weigh ins we had only 3 gains for 5.2 pounds, 5 maintains, and 15 losses for 27.9 pounds. Great job ladies!

and now announcing our weekly Biggest Loser Team Champions

#1-The Red Team-0.770%

Congratulations Red! The score now sits at Black 5, Red 4, and Blue 2 weeks at #1. Will the Red team get #1 next week and tie Black? Will Black get #1 to pull ahead? Will Blue come from behind to claim a victory? If everyone works as a team anything is possible. Good Luck to everyone as we finish up our last two weeks of BL6.

Yes our last two weeks. This is it gang. How will you finish this thing up? I believe my records say we had 158 people commit to this at one time or another and we now have 35 left. You are part of the 22% that are still here, 78% have dropped out. Just staying to the end is an accomplishment and you should be commended for that. Let's get truly committed and get losing!!

Have a healthy day!

Well,

I'm posting it in its entirety this time. So much lovely information.

First congrats to al the BLs. Here's a and a and for us.

And a huge and a and a for Melisa. Way to go you. What's the total now? Must be a lot.

And RED. Look at those numbers. This just proves all one has to do is stay the course. That's all. And sooner or later you will get there - we will get there. Time will pass and of course - between losses, maintains and gains - one's weight will go down. Yeah for all of us.

And Brenda - the biggest to you. Thank you so much for everything that you've done for us.

Lisa - Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement. You are totally right. Maintaining IS underestimated. I will look on it differently from now on. Still, hoping to post some losses in the final two weeks!

Brenda - Thanks SO VERY MUCH for tallying and posting the totals each week. I have really enjoyed being a part of this and will continue till the end.

Red Team - Let's claim first place again this week! We can do it!!! So far, I am on track for a loss this week. I am keeping up my food journal and making fairly good choice and have been exercising each day. Here's to a good week!

Hey loved all of this post - said so perfectly.

And because I believe it so much -


Maintaining is a greatly underestimated accomplishment - and it's even a fantastic focus for losing weight - maintain - lose again - maintain - lose - not a bad strategy!!!!

How many times in life can you say that you are so very proud to be part of a losing team?

This week, I am again so very proud to be a part of such a losing team!

Great job everyone

Brenda, thanks for all you do. It's not something that I could volunteer for. You are wonderful .

I'm leaving next Thursday for a Cruise, so I will weigh in on Wednesday. That will be my last weigh in as I won't be around my trusty scale for a few weeks. It has been my pleasure to read the posts and get to know some of you a little better. Thanks for being my team mates and providing inspiration for me. I have lost 21 lbs and am only 3 lbs from my preset goal thanks to the Red Team. I am ready to set another goal once this one is reached and know that it is reasonable for me to reach it. I've never had the success in weight loss that I have had over the past 12 weeks as a member of the Red Team.

Thank you!

Linda
