WISH Biggest Loser Challenge - Round 3 -- TEAMS

[ohMom]

to the **edited on 10/2 ** 113 WISHers that have decided to join in for the third round of WISH Biggest Loser challenge!!

Our BL challenges varies a bit from the show. First off, we are commiting ourselves to losing weight, getting healthy and encouraging each other. We all love to watch the show, but we are not about endorsing the rapid weight loss and heavy-duty mega workouts, that could be too extreme and unhealthy. If you are new to exercise and healthy eating (i don't like the "D" word!); please consider a visit with your family physician to ensure you are following a safe and healthy plan. The past BL challenge participants did not take this challenge beyond the scope of healthy weight loss and i would encourage everyone to keep that spirit again this year. One more thing, we do NOT vote off teammates, but rather keep track of weight loss confidentially through our team captains, who share results in the form of percentage of weight lost, or inches lost. ok, 'nuff of the disclaimer......

this is why you are really here.................

Team captains will start (or assign a player to) a weekly thread for your team. I will start each teams thread for this first week in case your team captain is not on the boards right now! This is where you will find the details such as how to report your weekly weigh-ins, etc. Don't hesitate to ask logistic questions, we are all in this for each other.

The clippies at the top of your team list are yours for the taking to put in your signature if you'd like just keeping in mind the DISboard signature guidelines which can be seen here If you need directions to add the clipart to your signature link here and here is where you can test post If you are having problems, help can be found at the Technical Support forum

i think that is all to say for now -- get busy LOSERS!!

ETA: BL3 final weigh in will be Tuesday December 18

 

[dare2dream]

Thanks OhMom for all your hard work getting our teams set up. I'm glad everything worked out.

Now team members, check in on your team thread. Don't forget to weigh in today and PM or email your weight to your team captain. Your team captain is the only person that will see that number.

Best of luck to us all as we work to become THE BIGGEST LOSER!!

 

[trampslady]

OhMom--thanks for allowing me to join in. However, I don't see my username posted on any of the team lists. Advise?

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. I know that organizing something like this takes time!

 

[luvmy2sams]

Wow! 81 WISHers for this challenge!

Thanks for putting this all together, ohMom! and good luck to all the participants!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Thanks OhMom for doing such a great job!

Good luck everybody!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

Thanks to the organizers and captains!

How exciting the WISH board (once again) offers this interactive "accountability" method toward such a HEALTHY goal!

I was smiling as I read the names of those I recognize (from previous WISHing) and look forward to "meeting" some of the rest of the players!

So - as ohMom said, let's get out of the "I wish - I would..." thinking to the "I AM" and it starts TODAY !!!

GOOD LUCK to all - as YES- we all can be winners in this BL match.........

now I am off to see if there is a pep talk thread started yet for my BLUE team members

 

[ohMom]

trampslady i'm sorry!!! i was rushing, i added you on this list but not that one.

you are on the black team -- and if anyone else does not see their name on the list please PM me -- it was an oversight b/c all are

i have to work today though so i'll be gone from about 11 a.m. until 7:30 - 8 p.m.

 

[ohMom]

uhhh...mom... you are on the BLUE team!! LOL

 

[SeaSpray]

WOO HOO! Let the games begin!!!!

Thanks again, ohMom for organzing all this!! Now I'm off to the BLUE TEAM thread!!!!

P.S. Can we add the Biggest Loser icon to our signatures and have them not count towards the signature guidelines, just like the regular WISH icons don't count?? Thanks!

 

[ohMom]

no sorry -- the BL image would count, it's only those that are found in the similies

 

[Vivig]

Thanks for including me in !!! As well as thanks for all the hard work and time that you have taken to start this challenge!

 

[WDWorBUST]

How long are we planning on the Biggest Loser going until? I guess what I'm looking for is the end date.

 

[ohMom]

i haven't been succesful in finding out how many weeks the show runs? does anyone know that?

 

[disneychrista]

Do you PM our starting weight or what?

 

[WDWorBUST]

I have not seen. I know that there really is no "end" to eating healthy and living fit? I just was curious how long our contest was going to run. Last year didn't we end up going longer anyway? I don't guess we have to go the same as the show?

 

[ohMom]

christa -- did you see Vija's instructions on our team thread --

everyone that is where you find your team instructions, it's up to each captain and their preference for reporting in weekly WI

WDWorBUST -- originally i thought we'd run through the finale, but now that teams are set i'm going to check in with captains and see if we can get a general consensus. last year, if you remember we went through the holidays and it seemed too long. we lost alot of folks at the end

 

[MiniGirl]

Ack!!! Is it too late to be added to a team? I didn't visit the boards much (okay, practically nil) during the summer. Now, that school is back in session though, I have started to workout again and make better eating choices. I'm missin the accountability though.

I hope it isn't too late. If it is, I understand.

Thanks,

 

[ohMom]

minigirl -- you are to join -- you will be on the BLACK team

i'm going to close this thread --- ONLY because i'm not good at checking it. if ANYONE else would like to join, you can do so by PMing me
