good luck and lets lose this fat together!!

go blue!!!

Yay blue team! This is my first challenge and I'm so excited. Ate terribly today because it's Rosh Hashanah (brisket, mini potatoes, cucumber salad, grilled mushrooms, challah, etc. All the jewish holiday staples, basically.) But, tomorrow is a new day! I'll be back down to 1500 cals and going to the gym instead of sitting in temple for 6 hours. Haha.

Anyways, good luck to everyone! Thanks for starting this thread, star. :)

Yay BLUE!!!  How cool we have our own place ;0).  This is my first bl challenge. I need a motivator as I've been in the same place for 3 weeks now. I joined the Oct. fitness challenge too so hopefully I'll be losing something again soon. Feel free to add me as a friend blue team!!

Whoohoo!! Go Blue!!

Ok, Yesterday didn't count for me... I'm starting fresh today!

I way the most I have EVER weighed... I'm so embarrassed.... But there's no need to be depressed about it! I'm going to start my new life! So I can be healthy for my family!!

Greetings BL Blue Team!

I'm so excited to being my third Biggest Loser Challenge.  It is a great motivator and even if you have a bad couple of weeks, it's great to see your journey and progress at the end. 

The first time around I came in a close second with 21 lbs loss.  The second time I hit a huge plateau and only loss 9 lbs...but still, that is an amazing accomplishment and I have this challenge to thank.  It keeps you honest, on track, and accountable. 

I love the show...love the challange...and love that each of you are on my team!  Welcome!  :)

Hello fellow blue teamers!

Thanks, star, for getting this started!

This is also my first BL challenge. I've been on Calorie Counter for over a year (off and on) but these past few weeks I've started to make it a major part of my day. My husband is also working out/trying to lose weight/get healthy, so we hit the YMCA together several times a week - it's great to have a work-out partner like that! I haven't been able to lose weight very fast these past few weeks of really trying, but having to account for myself for this challenge should be a great motivor!

I also love the tv show! It's a great motivator as well!

Hello:  this is my first challenge and I am really excited about it!

I have lost 11 lbs so far on CC and hope to lose another 11lbs- hopefully by Christmas.

I really hope to have a good month and contribute with shed lbs to the Blue Team!

Maria

GOOOO BLUE TEAM!!! : )

I'm soooo excited!!!  This is my 1st BL challenge and actually just joined the website a few days ago.......I have made myself a fresh start this past Monday - and SO FAR SO GOOD!! : )

In February 2006 I weighed my heaviest at 237lbs......I lost down to 158lbs - going to the gym and eating right.....Well, in the past 6mos, I have let some weight creep back up on me as well as inches..... : (   Let's just say I took a little break!!LOL  But now worries, I'm back on track........Just have 38lbs to go to my goal weight........I'm very excited about this challenge.....

Soooo - let's shed the pounds and look and feel great, Blue Team!!!

Hi all.  This is my second BLC and the first was very motivating.

star (aka wild) -Thanks wild for getting this thread started.

GO BLUE!!

Good Morning  blue team. Geez my space bar is sticking this morning, must be the applesauce I dropped on it yesterday. hee hee hee.        &nb sp;              

hey blue team!!  i taking a few min. to log in.  you probably wont hear from me for the next few days, as i am off to the fair tomorrow.  getting everything to the front door to pack in the truck as soon as it comes back from the garage from getting fixed.  so i wish you all luck for the weekend.  and i hope i dont overdo it at the fair. all that yummy fair food!!  but i am packing good foods to take with us too!!

you all are welcome for starting this thread....... 

let do this blue team!!  and have a great weekend!!

Hi, everyone, and thanks to wildntaken for making this thread! I know how hard it is to maintain a team thread, as I did that for TBL7. Good luck, blue! :D

Hi everyone - just checking in.  Thanks wild for starting our thread!  Especially as you started our thread the last time too!  Hope you have a great time at the Fair and sell loads of candles!

I have promised myself that I will make much more effort to lose weight this time around (my third biggest loser challenge).  I had become a bit complacent and lazy, I must admit, after losing 30 lbs from my heaviest of 210 lbs.  I still want to lose another 20-30lbs and I would like it to be gone by next spring!  

Good luck everybody!

hi everyone...this is my 1st challenge as only been a cc member for a few weeks, i started the gym last week so im hopeing that will help,i was 252 at my heaviest and started my weight loss journey in july and so far lost 28 pounds! i have about another 70 to go im doing it in 2 parts to keep me motivated like my goal is gonna be xmas,then after xmas im heading for july,hopefully there will be a lot less of me then.

good luck everyone x

hey blue team!!

last chance workouts!!! and boy do i need it!! since thursday i have found no time to do my workouts!!! except loading up the truck and unloading and setting up my booth. i did alot of standing and some walking, but couldnt walk to far away from my booth. my mouth got the most workout! haha. time to get back on track!!  we did really good at the fair. and had a great time!!! we didnt eat too much of the fair food. and didnt really have time to eat at all!! i know i didnt eat my allowed calories since thursday! and only about 1/2 of my water! but now its time to get back on track!!

hope you all are doing good!! and good luck at the weigh ins!!

let go blue!!!!

Hello Blue Team!

This is my first BL challenge and I'm really excited!  I'm wondering if anyone has any advice....I eat really well Mon-Fri but as soon as Sat is here I have no more willpower!  All I want to do is eat every meal out and snack in between!  And I know I could make decent choices when eating out....but I don't.  Then I have to spend most of the week undoing the damage from the weekend.  How do I get myself out of this mindset of needing to eat unhealthly on the weekends??

sweetcheeks, the weekend is the hardest for me too. but we dont go out to much to eat. so when i go to the store, i have to go by myself. hubby will put all kinds of junk in the cart. so i get him things he likes and that i dont care for. take baby steps, like sat. eat out and snack, but dont do it on sunday.  or vicavirsa.  i have a cheat day on sat. and since i know sat. is my cheat day, i dont really overdo it. but if i didnt do a cheat day, i know i would not stay on track all week. and it does help me. good luck to ya!! someone else mite have better ideas for ya!

i am up 5 lbs. since the last challenge! and i dont know why! does not working out for 3 days and not eatting all your calories do this??? and i couldnt do all my walking yesterday due to my ankles, as i kindof over did it at the fair. standing most of the time. but none of my jeans fit anymore!! they fall to the floor!! i was so excited when i put them on friday and they hit the floor! but we have a pile of jeans that was too small for me and hubby. well they are big on me too.....

well good luck everyone!! sorry i didnt do good this week! i will do my best to make up for it next week!!

hi all, the results are posted. i posted them above.

have a great weekend!!

hummmmmmmm.......... wondering how everyone is doing????
