Attention Team 3 (The Reducers!!)

By official vote, the Reducers has won for our team name! I love it. This had the official majority vote. No recounts, hanging chads or stuck threads to mess this one up. So keep up the good work everyone.

By the way, sabataging the other teams is great. Angel and Sarah our out top sabateurs here. Cheers for Team 3!! :)

Hi everyone!!  Im here and excited to drop this weight and win!!!  I know we can do it :)

Lets go Team 3!!  I am so excited about this challenge.  It really does help to help to be working as a team.  I know I sure dont want to let my teammates down by not eating right.

Hi Everyone,

This is great. How about we count the number of minutes each week that we EXERCISE... and post it here, to kind of motivate us in this very cold weather..

It's so surprising to me how an online challenge can get me so psyched to drop these last 10-15lbs. GO TEAM 3!

any suggestions for our name??

Go team three!!! I need to loose 65 lbs, hopefully during this challenge I can loose 18-20 of those nasty pounds - the challenge last for 6 weeks right? Let's help each other out. Maybe our team name could be the combined total of how many pounds we all want to loose during the challenge?  (ie; the 200 lb loosers) Just an idea.

Hi everyone,  I have 54 to drop before I reach my overall goal.  I'm hoping to shed about 10 to 12 pounds during this challenge.    At the very least break into the 180's club.  Well I'm off to the gym.   ms-muffit I'll let you know my minutes.  brrr it's cold outside.

I'm so glad that everyone is so excited about this contest. I sure am. I think this a great way to lose weight.

I excercised 40 minutes of brisk walking (outside) and did a bunch of ab workouts. I'm following the diet plan I found on MSN and its really working. Its really sensible to, not one of those yo-yo diets.

As far as name ideas, I'm so bad about thinking up a name. Anybody got some suggestions, I like iwantsz12 idea. Any others?

Lets Wins this Team 3!!!!

Team Name suggestion: Not my original suggestion by any means...one name I liked that was used on a running website that I also visit was "And a Weigh we go...."

I always chuckle to myself when I see it.

Hello Team!!! I am very excited as well about this challenge.  I think it will be great to have others to keep me on track and motivated and vice versa!  I have about 40 pounds to lose.  I am going to start working out again tomorrow with lots of cardio (I have been really sick for one week).

1 hour 30 minutes
30 minute walk to gym, 30 min ellipitical, 30 minute walk from gym

Hello Team! I have 60 pounds to lose. I'm just starting over on this site. I was doing real good, then I hurt my rotary cuff in my left shoulder. This left me pretty well out of my exercising program. My equipment was put into storage. :( Then depression hit and I gave up. But I'm back now and going strong! I'm going to have to work real slpw at building up on the exercise bit though because my shoulder is still not completely healed.

Name for the team?...Hmm...Let's see....*Put's thinking cap on*

How about: The Fat Burners
- or- The Duckings to Swans Team (based on the story of 'The Ugly Ducking' of course)
I think I like the 2nd one better myself, because that is what we are aiming for- - - to be graceful swans! Right now I am anything but graceful!

Question? How are we going to decide what name we are going to use? Make a list of the suggestions and vote? Or just pick one? Just wondering.

Well why don't we put together a list and vote on them say on Saturday. It will give us a few days to come up with some ideas and let other people a chance to log in and give thier ideas.

Names so Far:

• And a Weigh we go...
• The Fat Burners
• The Ducklings to Swans Team

If I have missed any that have been posted let me know. Feel free to add ideas. If its ok with everyone we can put together a list and vote maybe on Saturday. Any imput on this is appreciated! :)

Great to be a part of this.

Name ideas: Fat Blasters; Movers & shakers; Cross-trainers; The weigh to go-gos; Reducers; flab2fab; The Health-ka-teers; The Fit-ka-teers; The Weight-o-meters

I think that's a good start!      

(edited to remove name suggestion -- I am fine with the other options!)

BTW -- thanks Tonya for signing me up!  And I even lucked out to get on your team! 

I am already excited by the challenge!! -- hope everybody gets what they want out of it. 

And ms-mufffit -- I hope to do 30 minutes a day of exercise over 6 days -- trying to work up to jogging a full 5K/3 miles if I can keep my knees from giving me grief.   But I think I will officially commit myself to a goal of 150 min per week, given my work schedule.

As I sit here in my computer chair.. gym gear soaked from work out that ended a moment ago.. I resist the fried bacon scent in the air and think about what I'll have for dinner... I say...

HELLOOOOO TEAM 3 :)

Sorry - that was rather dramatic? I am SOOOO stoked to be on this team and in this comp. We had a weight loss comp at work (called the biggest loser) and it went for 5 months - and I won! But when It ended - so did my motivation! I am so glad to be doing this :)

My vote for team name: A weigh we go. I love it. LOVE IT!

Good idea too ms-mufffit!

Hello Team!

Just running through some ideas off of the top of my head:

From Flabulous to Fabulous
Up Another Notch (as in belt)
The Downsizers
Eat Our Dust

Yesterday I did 35 min at contours and ran/walked 45 min, cause I knew i would report it. All you that worked out, keep it up. As hard as it is to do, it only makes sense. Just little things add up. Well off to run again.

For a name: From Zero to Hero.

Thanks again for this challenge, I just wasn't doing it on my own very well, I have 37 more pounds to loose.

I really need this challenge.  I had lost 25 pounds before Christmas and have maintained since then, I really need a kick in the rear since I still have 60 pounds to go. 

Go team 3.

I like "a Weigh we go"!

Very funny!

I am psyched to be doing this! Great motivation to lose my 60+ pounds I will (not would like to ) lose. I know I am in for the long haul, and this will help keep me motivated.
