May I join too please?

 

[Raenstoirm]

Of course I am in. And for those who don't know me, I was the challenge "master" last BL and I have taken on the role this year as well. Look for the thread on Thursday about the challenge and what they entail. For those that are new.... We do challenges just like the show. On the show they have to drink milkshakes, cross balance beams, or jump rope. For us, you have to get all your water in, do extra cardio or try new foods. They will get progressively harder as the weeks go on (and our weights go down ). I will be putting out a practice week this week and the official beginning will be October 3rd. I will begin to collect points and award a winner then.

And I would like to thank Brenda for taking point this year. She has really done a lot of behind the scenes organizing.

I would love to join, but after reading most of the post I feel some what out of place,, I WISH I only had 15 or 20 pounds to loose.. or a few pounds to fit into that bikini...Shoot I didn't even wear a bikini when I was 4 let alone 44 now. So you if all don't mind a big umpa lumpa among you??

As everyone has said, you are not alone. I have 40 lbs myself. Some have 10 to lose, and some have 100. All are welcome.

Sounds great! Just checking, but we can do any weight loss program we like, yes? South Beach, WW, whatever, the BL Challenge is for support and motivation, if I'm understanding correctly?

Yup, yup.

I was able to get in some water jogging today and took a nice walk on the beach.

You get to walk on the beach! Not fair!

Another Newbie! I started my whole family on Weight Watcher on-line about 4 weeks ago. We are doing so well and need motivation to keep losing! Looking forward to the challenge. Because of my location I'm nearly a day ahead of most of you. I hope that won't cause any problems.

No problems at all. Just pick a day and keep in consistent and report your weight on "our" Friday. If you are a day or two late, no one will mind.

Hi there! I would like to join in as well.

Hypermommy - we're actually going from 10/31/09 -11/7/09. So we're the first week in November. Too bad we're not overlapping. We could compare sexy bodies!!!

 

[Laurabearz]

I think I need this

 

[KayR]

We can on here, though... as well as showing off what cool cruise clothes we'll be able to get because we'll be so much slimmer. LOL

Maybe we'll get on the same team ;-)

 

[Goofy Groupie]

Would love that hypermommy. I'll have to figure out how to post pics of my new smaller clothes.

 

[tracyz]

I followed your link from the cruise boards...this may be just what I need to get to where I'd like to be for our February cruise!

 

[Twingle]

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.

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??

 

[SunShineGurl]

please include me and i will include dh- we are 2 poohs!

 

[MaryJ]

Sign me up! I've wanted to do this in the past, but never saw the sign up list in time!

 

[poohfriend9]

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?

Only the weight keeper will know your weight. It won't be posted on the forum, unless you choose to do so.

Do you measure in stones? You could convert stones to pounds to figure out how much you wanted to lose.

 

[Starseeker1221]

Please count me in! I've just restarted weight watchers and I have about 70 pounds to lose--- I can take all the help I can get!!

Hi!! yes we tend to measure in stones and pounds - we have 14lbs (I believe!! ) to a stone - so I guess your pounds would be the same??

I would love to join - count me in!!
