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!! :)

I would like to join.  I dont know how to join a team my weight is  can someone please help?

retrovert - I calculate the entire team's weight then calculate how much each team member loses to get a whole team loss.  We go by teams in the challenge.  This is basically for support and not a very competitive challenge.  We will not criticize if someone does not lose for the week, we will just offer support.

The team that loses the most for each week will win and the team that loses the most overall will win the competition.  There are no prizes just weight loss.  I do calculate individual weight loss over the 12 week period and the top 10 members who lose the most weight will get their name posted at the end of the challenge.  Make more sense?

time-will-tell - I posted you a respose in the main thread and the sign up thread.  Please go there to sign up.

HI..just signing in also! On team three ...thanks to Tanya's help..  Really looking forward to being part of this team effort..I 64 pounds to loose this year..This really seems like a great way to start..

Hi Team 3 Members

I havent introduced myself yet so here goes.  I started eating right in September after being told to by my doctor.  My weight in Sept was 251.  So far I have lost 40 lbs.  My goal is to get down to 150 by the end of the year. 

My exercise has been walking.  I try to walk everyday in my neighborhood and do some floor exercises at home.  I just joined the National body challenge by Discovery Health and it comes with a free 8 week membership at Bally's fitness so yesterday I was able to go through a workout with a trainer.  Yes, today I am very sore!     I cant go today because of the winter storm.  Thats probably a good thing since I am so sore, but I hope to go at least 3 or 4 times a week.

I am so excited about this challenge.  Lets go Team 3

I like the name A weigh we go!

Hello Team 3!  I got myself on track on 1/2...Although I've lost 8 lbs already I'm not really excited cuz it's jus the holiday weight...Getting rid of the old stuff is going to be more difficult but it's a "gotta do" situation.  I live on the beach in NC and there's nothing worse than jiggling across the beach.  I've started going to the gym every night and do at least 45 min on a combination of the elliptical and lifecycle.  Also do about 45-60 min of streneth training.  Having trouble with the diet though, I'm not eating enough, barely over 700 calories a day, which is half of my 1450 allotment.  It's amazing how few calories I consume now that I've stopped the cookies, ice cream, and candy.  I eat the same as I always have, just no junk stuff whatsoever.  So anyway please feel free to contact me if you need help!  Go Team 3!!!!

hello all! glad to participate in this contest, well just weighted myself and i am ready for some action, lots of exercise and dieting. well hope everyone  do good and good luck. 

Go to post #29 to see the names we have to pick from.

Maybe Kristen could edit there to put the number of votes beside the name?

Opps. Sorrry, I didn't know that we had decided on a name, so ignore this.

*Angel walks away wirh red face*

melaniejones,

There is a group on the National Body Challenge site called "calorie-count".  I am on it and so are 3 other C-Cers.   If you are interested in joining the group, find cheree89's profile and email her  (you can't search for groups on the NatBodChallenge site, you can only be invited to one).

I just got back from the Washington, DC Area C-C meet-up -- it was fun to actually meet Erik and Igor, as well as some of the "famous" forums personalities.

So it goes for 3 months? Alllllright :)

I'm kinda scared because I just gave up smoking today - cold turkey. I am determined. If I just eat exactly the same - I won't put on "given up smoking weight"

I hope.. :(

Please email me what the team name is so I can change it on my spreadsheet.  I didn't see a post with a final decision on the team name.  Just let me know and I will change it like I did team 2's.  My email is TRHorses621@hotmail.com.

Hi team - just checking in to introduce myself (I'm Angela) and to wish everyone much encouragement and success over the upcoming weeks!!  My husband and I are on opposing teams so I am highly motivated to do as well as him in order to balance the power a bit, and can't wait to see where we both end up (preferably down!).

Don't know if we've decided yet, but my team name contribution - Weighting to Exhale - because I can't wait to button these darn jeans without having to hold my breath 'til I'm blue :)

Good luck all!

Angela, I like that name! Unforuately it looks like somehow a name has already been decided on. Not sure how the voting was decided though. -?- Guess I must of missed something somewhere.

I'm a little leary on the name that was picked because from what I understand, it was picked from another site. I know I worry WAY to much, but I just hope this name was not copywritten. I guess I'm overly cautious because I have been burnt on something like this before. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about.  

Angel,

I just put it up there cause thats what people were saying they liked. Nobody else was saying to much about it. If people want it changed I will be glad to change it. I called for a vote on Saturday but only a few people voted. What name would you like?

Lets vote on the names we have so far. Please post what your vote is going to be. Thanks

No problem Kristin. I was just afraid it may have been a copywritten name, I do like it, how-ever I like Weighting to Exhale better, so I'll vote on that one.
Do you think you could put the number of votes beside the names on post #29 so our team will know how the votes are going? Would that work for everyone?

I change my vote to Weighting to exhale - I love it!

Weighing to exhale...only because I can relate..loooking up at the ceiling of the bed!  he he he  What a great idea..

Weighting to Exhale!  Love it.  Count me in on that name.  Good luck everyone.

Ok i'll just edit my other post to show the votes. Thats fine with me. Just keep posting what name you want and I will add the votes. And please don't add new names, lets vote on what we have. Thanks May the best name win!

Weighting to Exhale is my choice!!  Luv it.
