BL3 Black Team The Final Week

[donac]

Good Morning. Don't forget to PM me with your final weight. I also need to know by the end of the day how many challenge points you have for this week. I know that this was a tough week to do this challenge.


I got on the scale this morning to find my lowest weight since we started so I am happy.

Hope the rest of the news is good.

The Biggest Loser #5 will start Tuesday January 1 on NBC. Our WISH Biggest Loser 4 challenge will begin that day. It will run a little differently than BL 3. Stay tuned for more information. Our finale thread will run until the final announcement is made and winners are declared. When our finale thread is closed a new 'Biggest Loser 3 alumni' thread will be posted. This will be a place for us all to gather for the remainder of the holidays until BL 4 starts. The alumni thread and BL 4 will not divide us into teams. We will all work together to support, encourage, and help each other.


If you have any suggestions please let me know so that I can pass it along.

Good morning, and congratulations Dona on your loss!!!!!!!

I too, am the lowest I've been for the challenge, down 2.8 this week for a total of 3.4 for the whole challenge. Not much overall, but I'm very happy with it.

I've gotten a few of the challenge points, but now I'll share a christmas tradition in my family. I have hosted christmas eve ever since I moved out of my parents house about 17 years ago. My first home was a third floor condo with no elevator, so I started giving my family their gifts to open on Christmas eve so they could take them all home that night, and I wouldn't have to drag them down all the stairs on christmas myself. I've had Christmas eve at my house ever since, and given my gifts to my family there. It's nice to that Christmas morning is more relaxed and my son can enjoy what Santa brought, and we don't have to rush out of the house.

I'll be back later with my points total. The alumni thread sounds like an awesome idea to help us all through the holidays.

Have a great, losing day everyone!!

Good Morning!!! I lost 1.8 lbs this week!!! I'm not sure where I started on the BL Challenge. Hopefully Dona can let me know my total... I find that absolutely amazing because I did NO exercise since last Monday. I started have back troubles and I have been back and forth to chiropractor and out of town this weekend. Maybe my body just needed a break... Since I got serious about losing weight, I've lost 18.6 lbs... Just 1.4 more before a new clippie!!!

I didn't do so hot on the challenge either...

Hope everyone has a great day!
Stacie

Oh, and I'd like to do BL 4 when it starts!

Congrats to all of our losers!!!!

I am frustrated to be heading into the final week of the BL with another week of staying the same! I will tally my challenge points and get back this afternoon (still have to do my click-thrus for the day!).

Christmas tradition at our house.... We actually use the pickle tradition! After Santa delivers our gifts, he moves the pickle and hides it in the tree (harder each year as the kids get older). The first person to find the pickle, gets to open the first gift!

After the hecticness of the morning, we rehide the pickle so it is ready for when my entire family gathers at the house. Before that gift exchange, the search for the pickle takes place and that person opens the first gift. My pickle is the small dill size which makes it fun and hard to find!

One of our Christmas traditions involves when we are Disney or any vacation. We always buy a Disney ornament when we are down there to commemorate the year we went. We started this on our honeymoon when we went to DL. That ornament still hangs on our tree. We have bought ornaments for all our trips. There is a sand dollar that each year I am very cautious opening the box because I never know when it will be in pieces. We have had it over 25 years now. It always reminds me of the trip to SC.

Congratulations Postef on your loss!! I find it motivating to do well when I see a loss that I did not expect. 18 pounds is awesome!!

geetey- Hang in there. Staying the same is better than gaining, and sticking with your plan through the plateaus will get you on the losing side again. That pickle game sounds like fun, but I can just picture my son and nieces and nephews destroying the tree.

I have 40 points for the challenge this week. Better than I expected once i added them all up.

I hope to check back later in the week to see how we all did as a team, but if not, I want to thank you all for the support and inspiration I have received here. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season.
