Sign up here for the WISH Biggest Loser Challenge

[Raenstoirm]

Okay - count me in! Very excited - and super glad that the challenges will not require me to find someplace that I have to run on a balance beam across a pool. I'd fail my team mates at that one.

Since you are so excited bout balance beams, maybe I can add that in!

Hi!!

I was wondering whether I could join you - although I am not in the US (i'm from the UK) so I don't get to watch the TV show that you are talking about??


Plus - not sure are 'your' pounds the same as 'our' pounds??

I guess I have about 70 british pounds to lose??!!! so I would really appreciate the help from you guys!!

And as yet I haven't read all the previous posts - would it help me to do that??

I know nothing about British conversion, but it shouldn't matter. If you record in stones then just tell Brenda (dare2dream), our weight keeper, that you are using a British system. We don't compare the actual weight lost by each team, but rather the PERCENTAGE of weight lost, so it all works out in the end. If you weight in at 15 stones (roughly 210 lbs) and lose 1 stone over the course of the challenge, then you become 14 stones or 196 lbs and the percentages are the same.

I haven't really watch the show, but I was planning on watching it this season. I think it starts on my birthday. Anyway this sounds like a great idea for everyone.

Is it true you have to share your starting weight to join in this?

Yes and no. Most people only tell the weight keeper their weight. And every week tell her what their weigh in weight is. On the general threads, we just report "down 2" "up .5" sort of thing. And if that bothers you you can just say you are up or down with no numbers. It is all up to you. But yes, the weight keeper needs the actual lbs every week.

Just wondering when we will get assigned our teams?

 

[Raenstoirm]

This week. I don't think our captains are organized yet.

I'd like to join too!!!

I've lost 38 pounds since the beginning of May and have about another 40 to go. I need some motivation to keep going and I think this is it. We are going on our first cruise this December and I'm hoping to have an excuse to go out and buy some new clothes.

Count me in! I did the mini BL challenge in the Spring and it was very helpful in keeping me motivated!

American or not, it sounds like I should start weighing myself in stones!!!! At least the numbers are smaller.

LOL! It looks things are coming together and we'll be up and running this Friday. They are getting the captains and co-captains together right now.

Can I still join?
I desperatley need to loose weight, and it's so difficult. i'm an emotional eater, and with all the stress going on, it's hard to not eat eat eat, so I need all the support I can get.
Not only do I need to loose the weigth because of a too high BMI, I'm starting a new job in a little more than a month, and I need to fit in my business clothes again!
