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):

YAY!!!!!!!!!! I made it under 200! I weighed myself like 100 times this morning to make sure that I was really seeing it. I am so excited! It has been over 12 years since I weighed under 200 pounds...I have really enjoyed this challenge. Thanks for the support! 

Oh, wow - am totally out of sorts - have had an assortment of end of summer visitors for the past week. Yeah, not so great for the weigh in!! Somehow managed to stay with the cardio but no strength straining and too much junk and bevvies. Guess it could have been worse with no exercise!

ilovemy twins -- woo hoo - welcome to that glorious place of Onderland - congrats!

wants2behot -double yay - sorry you won't be with us on the next challenge but happy to see you move on to maintenance - congrats!!

Yay! Thanks!!!

Sorry for not being around for the end of the challenge. I got sidetracked by a vacation to Vegas, then got overwhelmed by life. I know it's way past the 3rd, but I figured I'd post my results anyways, as a show of how much this event has encouraged me. Even if this week won't count in my final totals. :)

thanks so so much to all of you that stuck this challenge out 'til the end - it was rough but we made it!  everybody did an amazing job - when the challenge started, our collective weight was 11,132.7 pounds.  together, we have dropped 1.89% of that total starting weight and are now weighing in at 10,922.8!  together we lost a whopping 209.9 pounds!!!!

i wish every single one of you the absolute best of luck as ya'll continue along this beautiful journey we call life.  congrats to those of you that have met your final goal weight (wants2bhot, lucky! ) and best wishes as you move on into the maintenance world.  as for the rest of us, i hope to re-group over in the BLC13!  haven't signed up yet?  what are you waiting for?!  come on over and join the par-tay!!!
