Biggest Loser Part 12 - Closed Group - Week 3: 7/28 - 7/30

As was done in BLC10 & BLC11, weigh-ins are accepted on Tuesdays-Thursdays each week. Results will be posted on Friday, unless otherwise stated.  Only weigh-ins from Tuesday-Thursday will be accepted.  This is done to be sure we are all on a level playing field.  If anyone misses a weigh-in, their last posted weight will be used.

Everyone who posts a weight in Week 0 will be assigned a team; I encourage you to get to know your teammates on your team threads, as it will be a great source of support and motivation.

Each week the top two overall losers and top two weekly losers, individuals and teams as a whole, will be posted.  This is based on percent of weight lost.  For examples of what to expect, see the BLC11 thread posted here.

BLC12 First and Second Place badges for the top two overall losers to post in their gallery at the end of the challenge! (Not quite comparable to the $250,000 prize on the show, but it’s close!)

If you have questions, feel free to ask!  I’ll be checking in daily during the week.

Each week please use the template below to post weigh-in results (be sure to post a new post with each weigh-in and do not edit an old post and risk me missing your update):

Just finished Jump into July challenge with a 19.5 loss. WOOT! That is including a week vacation too. I would love to be in another challenge and BL looks great for my motivational needs. One problem, I am going to Disney World during Week 1 and won't be around.

If that is not a problem, sign me up on a team, I'm in!

Leslie

Not a problem at all, Leslie! (Except for me being jealous)  Just make sure you walk plenty to combat all the delicious food you'll be eating, and don't forget to post your weight for Week 2!

 Will do Katy, thanks! I have been walking to get myself trained for all the walking next week. I am really looking forward to this trip, delicious food and all! See ya on the 7th-9th. Not sure how all this works, but I'm sure I will figure it out as it goes along!

Thanks!

I'd like to join in.

I was in the Biggest Loser 10 challenge back in April and missed out on part 11. I enjoyed having all the support of my team to help keep me accountable. 

Im in again!

I have a quick question: Is there a minimum amount of weight that a person has to want to lose? For instance, is a person only looking to lose 15ish pounds welcome?

No minimum required - just commitment to do your best and stick with it!

Here I go again, as well - been off the wagon for several weeks due to many reasons that aren't good enough... Consider this my fresh start!
