soo, i didn't exactly pull off a huge loss this week.
it doesn't really surprise me though, seeing as how i have yet to get back into an exercise routine.   my ankle is still a little sore.  i hit the elliptical on monday, but that was about it.

anywho... way to go:

- bhmoore with your 3 pound loss AND your 10.8 pounds gone for the overall challenge - amazing!!! 
- justsmileandnod with your 2 pound loss - crazy awesome!!
- mamamiasmith with your 1.2 pound loss - you go girl!!

we have 6.7 pounds left to lose to hit our 100-pounds-down goal.
we're sooo close!!

Thanks for all the awesome support and encouragement nikki!  I was so excited with my loss this week, especially after losing nothing last week.  And everyone cross your fingers for me--I'm running my first 5K in three years this weekend, and I'm super excited!

Good luck everyone!  Green team's got it in the bag!

hiya friends.

so, I got both of my kids graduated these last 2 weeks.. and moved my daughter back home from school. we have been soooo busy.. and this week, I got that wonderful summer head cold.. ya.

Although I did not go loose weight, I did not gain.. and am VERY happy about that..

Good luck to everyone this week! Staz

I'm so sorry about last week everyone.  It's been a zoo here and life just got more complicated.  I'm stressing really badly today and will probably be a wreck checking my facebook like every 10 minutes.  At random (visiting a friend's page) I found someone with the right last name and location and there's a resemblence.  I was adopted as a baby so I'm almost in that panic of "what if" this really is it.

I don't know what to think. at all.  I've had so many disappointments and near misses thrown in with the red tape and brick walls it's impossible to explain all the feelings going on right now.

I missed last week but had stayed the same so I guess nothing lost or gaine was ok.  Down a pitiful .5 this week but honestly it's better then gaining.  I've got to find a better way.  Got a month til vacation and it's not going to be pretty.

Ok green team, life is crazy, but we have to end strong.  This isn't about a silly online challenge, this is for our health.  Lets do our best and end knowing that we pushed ourselves.

I can't believe we are almost done with this challenge... crazy, where does the time go!. I just wanted to say to all team green, what a inspiration you all have been for me. When I want to eat something bad, the though of you makes me stop so I wont let down our team.

Great job everyone!... keep going strong... we can do it!!!!

We lost 100 pounds!!!!  Technically we are at 102 gone!  GONE!!!!!  That is sooo cool!  I don't know about you, but my week has been insane.  I doubt I'll have a strong showing this week (TOM and all sorts of insanity) but I know that for our final week, things will be looking great!  I am so excited for this and I hope that all of us can finish strong!  Keep up the good work guys!  Go GREEN!!!!

I just posted my weight.  Another 1.4 pounds gone!  Wow!  What a way to end the challenge.  Thank you all so much for doing this with me!  This has been so much fun and I feel like I have online friends who are encouraging me every step of the way.  Keep up the good work, and I'll see you around next time!  I hope that we can be on the same team again!

I guess this is it... good luck everyone!

dear ever-so-awesome green team

first, i'd like to apologize for completely dropping off the face of the earth for the past two weeks.  the fiance and i were crazy busy cleaning and re-decorating our apartment in preparation for his family coming to visit us over the fourth of july weekend.  talk about stress, lol! 

second, i'd like to thank each and every one of you for giving it your all throughout the entire competition.  we did great as a team and the motivation and encouragement from this board was amazing!  we all truly are inspirations to each other and i absolutely love the friendships that have formed because of the support of this team.

third, we freakin' rock!  one more time, here are our team standings:

• as a team, we lost a total of 108.4 pounds for the entire challenge - that is 3.95% of our beginning weight (2745.1 pounds) gone FOREVER!!!
• shannie3 is the green team biggest loser - she shed a whopping 8.52% of her starting weight throughout the course of the competition and is now 16.2 pounds lighter!  way to go shannie - that is UH-MAZING!!
• tazzie_23 was close on shannie's heels, and came in as the green team biggest loser runner-up.  she shed 6.14% of her starting weight and is standing proud at 13.1 pounds gone!  you go girl!

everybody on this team did an outstanding job!  we all worked together to meet and exceed our goal of losing 100 pounds combined - sa-weeet!!  i wish you all the best of luck as you continue on your journeys to healthier living.  please please please keep in touch, and i look forward to seeing you all continue the fight in the BLC 12!

One last time - LET'S GO GREEN!!!

Nikki thanks for being our awesome team captain!  It totally rocks that we lost over 100 pounds!  I only wish that I could be on your team again for BLC 12!  If not, I still hope that you get to 150!  You can do it!
