BL3 Alumni Week

[donac]

Good Tuesday Morning and Merry Christmas to all

The captains decided that before BL4 starts we should have an alumni thread.

I am Dona and I was the captain of the BL3 Black Team. I will be starting the threads for the next round of BL because I am the early bird in the group.

I just wanted to start this thread when I could. Everyone is still asleep and I was just finishing ds1's gf's hat that I made for her. They will be waking up soon to open their presents and then I have to get ready for church and dh's family will be coming at noon.

Will be back later (dh's family never stay long)

Merry Christmas to my fellow WISH Biggest Loser challengers! My name is Vija and I was the captain for the Rockin' Blue team! We had so much fun on the last round and I can't wait until we get started. We will soon post a sign up and information regarding the next Biggest Loser, please stay tuned.

We had an awesome Christmas Eve celebration at my mom's house and this morning Santa came and my DH, and kids had fun opening their gifts. DD noticed a boot print in the snow, and since DH nor I am responsible for that, (really, we are not, I don't know how it got there!!!) it added to the excitement of the morning! I am slowly trying to not do to much damage with my weight before the new year starts. Just enjoying this time with family and friends, and I know I will have to buckle down on January 1st! Thank Heavens Biggest Loser starts on WISH and on TV. I will need the extra motivation.

Thanks Dona for starting the thread this morning! Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone. I am Christa, Blue Team biggest loser. Looking forward to the new challange.

I have done nothing but make candy and other goodies for the last couple days. I didn't even eat dinner last night because I just couldn't after all the sampling. I am looking forward to the holiday's being over, so I can get back to my normal routine.

Santa (I swear that is what the tag said )brought me a new pair of jeans in one size smaller than I am wearing now, so I have to work to get into them.

Hope everyone has a magical holiday.

Good morning BL alumni.

I'm Kathy and I was on the black team. I lost just a few pounds for the BL challenge, but I am determined to start losing again in the new year.

Congratulations Christa on being your teams biggest loser!!

Dona- 4 am on christmas!! You are an early bird. Hope you had an awesome day.

Nice to see you again Vija. I think we met on the ww thread a while back. Looking forward to the new challenge.

Hope everyone had a great holiday. I definitely ate and drank too much, but today am going to journal again and regain control. Our big celebrations are over, so I can get back on a healthy road.

Have a fabulous day!!

good day after christmas morning

i'm Molli, i yo-yo'ed the same 6 lbs during BL3 and am deteremined to lose 15 pounds by Easter. i'm sick and tired of gaining and losing the same weight for the past two years! I'm excited to restart my BL challenge as i'm also joining the local Y's BL challenge, on a team of 5. i hear we will have 'challenges' similar to those on the show. our Y is kind of rinky so i'm not getting to anxious about what they will organize

i won't be suprised if i have an extra 5 lbs of holiday fluff -- we have been eating and eating and eating. for example, yesterday I asked my family "what time do we want to eat?" and the answer i got was "all day...." yesterday was my youngest DD's birthday so I made her birthday meal, all with leftovers of two BIG family meals from the weekend. we have cookies and candy and birthday cake, eggnog, wine and cheese balls. whew. thankfully on NYE our neighbors have started a tradition last year that we are carrying on this year...we get together and have a 'leftover potluck' so all the yummie naught leftover will be shared with the neighbors and then hopefully GONE! my DH is off work until Jan 3 so that is my really i'm starting date

i think i may do some shopping today....anyone else??

christa --- you will be in those jeans!! you are so focused!!

Hi everyone.

I'm Sabrina, was on the Blue Team but fell off the wagon mid-challenge. I am ready to get the new one started.

Santa brought new exercise equipment and I can't wait to put it to good use.

I'm Kimberly, number 2 loser for the Red Team. Looking forward to BL 4 since I need all the incentive and help I can get. In the meantime I am looking to get back on track after my pigout weekend.

Hello...newbie to the biggest loser challenge here. Need info when it becomes available, and looking for the great support I know can come from these boards. I'm no newbie to weight loss...unfortunately, I'm also an old hand at weight re-gain, too. So, here I am...

 

[AuntieM03]

Hi, my name is Michelle. I was on the Blue team. I was doing pretty well until I went on vacation in November. When I got back I couldn't get myself back into the swing of things. My goal is to lose 40lbs by my birthday at the end of April.

 

[Desiree]

Hi everyone. I'm interested in trying this again as well. I had a really rough past few months but now I'm ready to do this! I managed to lose 22 pounds last year but unfortunately due to alot of stress eating and just not caring anymore, 10 of those have creeped back on.

I am new to one of these challenges and really am very excited to join in! I have been dieting for probably the last 32 of my 37 years. I have gained and lost weight very well for my entire life but seem to be much better at gaining than losing. I would love to lose 75 pounds in 2008 and finally achieve my lifelong dream of not being overweight!

Thank you for starting this group and I am going to read the old posts to find out a little more of what to expect! Happy New Year!

Hello to my fellow BL3 alumni!!

I was on the Blue Team and I had a great time sharing my weight loss efforts each week with my teammates

I want to thank everyone who participated and volunteered their time during BL3, and I'm looking forward to BL4!!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

I wanted to congratulate all of the BL participants. Great job everyone!

Hey all, I miss reading my Team's thread so thank goodness I have this to read now. I was the Red Team's Biggest Loser and am currently below my Weight Watcher goal weight. I want to lost another 7 or so pounds, so we will see if I make it there. I am running the Disney Marathon in 2 1/2 weeks. That was my original goal this year and then after joining Weight Watchers, the combination of running and good dieting, the weight has melted off. My team really motivated me to stay on program this past fall, as I HATED posting a gain.

ROBIN! that is fantastic and enjoy the WDW marathon!! is this your first?

 

[bridgetgabbie]

ohMom--Thanks....Yes it is my first marathon. I am so excited, I can't stop planning my trip. We are going there for 10 days, the most I have ever spent in Orlando in one trip. And crossing the finish line will be such an accomplishment, I can't wait to do it!

You will have such a good time! Doing the Half in 2005 is one of my biggest accomplishments! Good luck, Robin!
