Biggest Loser Challenge....get rid of those pesky #s!!!

Alright Y'all~ We did this last year and it was a GREAT success....let's do it again. The rules are simple. Every Monday I will post a thread titled "BLC Week ___". All you gotta do is give me you CURRENT weight for that Monday. I will have a spreadsheet and calculate pounds lost in number and % of body fat. This will be an eight week challenge. it's gonna be hard with the holidays but we can do this thing!!!! I really encourage everyone to participate. This is a "friendly" challenge...it is to motivate eachother not "beat" everyone else. As a matter of fact....I'm going to do things a little different. Week one (monday) post your current weight as well as the amount of weight you hope to lose by the end of the eight weeks. I will total up the amount we all want to lose and I will post that as well on a weekly basis as a whole. Hope I didn't confuse anyone there. Good luck and happy losing!! Dawn

Got it kiddo. I am so ready to start. It should help us all. Hazel

My best wishes for all of you that will contribute to the challenge... I will follow up with interest your results... I hope it will be of motivation for you. Sincerely Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Oh man, I SO NEED to do this! You were upset that you ate an entire bagel? WELL...today I ate an entire mini bagel (WITH BUTTER); about 6 chocolates and a honkin' bowl of popcorn. I am so screwed. And every day I, too, say, 'tomorrow I will eat better.' And that scares the hell out of me for many reasons but mostly because a.) I DON'T eat better 'tomorrow' and b.) how many times did I say the same thing when I weighed 293?!? It is like I am right there again. :::sigh::: What a totally crappy week. I am never up this late but my son has a 103º fever, he vomited brown stuff all over his jammies (he ate nothing brown...it is like he vomited crap...sorry for the overshare) and I am afraid to fall asleep. It is like...as long as I can hear him breathing, I am okay. So...I am glad this is starting on Monday. I don't think I could do it tomorrow (don't know what makes me think I can start Monday...). Hugs, JM

I have total faith in you, you can do it. Remember all we have gone through to get where we are. We did all of that, and this is childs play in comparisson, besides we don't intend to get to our former big selves. We will all support each other as we do this. Hazel
