Introducing myself -

Hi. I'm Zee - mommy, ESL teacher, writer, codependent in recovery, Baha'i.    I've been counting calories since April.  I initially lost 20lbs pretty easily, then stalled for over SIX WEEKS!  Eek.  Got through it, started losing again just last week.  Looking forward to the motivation this challenge (and the show) gives me!   I need to confirm if we need to weigh in today or not.  I think today is considered the first day of the challenge and thus our starting weight???  anyone???  I'll be asking the moderator if no one knows for sure.

<> SW:  231.6 (when I signed up -  drat, wish I could've used LAST week's weight!)

CW: 231 

GW:  160 

Remember folks, we weigh in each week on the main thread under Weigh Loss.  These stats are just for us.

Introduction:

Hi everyone.  My name is Tammy.  I am here to lose weight and give support and get support back.  I think this is a great community and I am so glad I found it.  This is my first challenge and I am so excited for it.  I gained 75lbs after i quit smoking.  I quit smoking in 1999, there is a picture of me when i was skinny in my profile, i would love to be that size again, 125 , but I am starting my goal weight to be at 150 and then i will go from there.  Small steps..........

I too believe today is our first day of weighing in and our starting weight. 

I look forward to getting to know you all.  

Hi team.  My name is Kelly.  This is my second BLC and I am really looking forward to it.  I am trying to lose weight so my husband and I can start our family.  We have been married for 8 years and have a wonderful relationship, but we both feel we are missing out.  I started this journey to weight loss in Feb 2007.  So far I have lost 97 lbs.  I still have a long way to go, but I am excited about my progress so far.  I am here for support and to help in any way I can.

So,

GW..230 by 1/1/08...140 long term goal!

Introduction ~ My name is Aliea. This is my first challenge and I'm really hoping this helps me stay focused and striving towards my goal. Once upon a time I was thin, that is until I got pregnant with my oldest daughter 9 years ago. I put on 100 lbs and just as I got half of the weight off I got pregnant again with my twins, which are now 3. I was able to lose aprox 50 of what I had gained over the past 3 years but still had another 50 to go. So I figured I needed to get into action and get rid of all this weight. I started my journey (rather faithfully for me) in April 2007 and was able to lose some of the weight, and then I found CC last month and am now down 20 lbs since April. I have 28 more to lose to hit my goal but would love to lose another 10 after that if I can. Everyone seems really nice and supportive here on CC and I'm thankful every day that I found this website.

Let's continue on our journey together! Good luck all of you!!!

-I was Captain for Team 3 last challenge (Black Ann Rackham, aaargh), and it was loads too much work for a busy girl like me.  Thanks for taking the reins Zeebi!  I lost so much last challenge that I can't imagine why I wouldnt do it again to reach my goal weight.  So excited! 

I'll also be in school this semester, but I hope this challenge is what keeps me on track.

(Any guys on the team?)

Hi Team 3!  We're taking votes on a team name.  So far it's 'Soup-a-Stars'. 

Whatcha think?  Any other ideas before we set it?   

h aha ha ....Okay.  My vote is for Soup-a-Stars (so silly, love it).  Hmmm....now my soup name....

Okay Team 3 - I have the lowdown.  I was confused by the whole 'starting weight' issue.  Today we weigh in our starting weight.  Next week is the first weigh in for any losses.  Remember to weigh in on the MAIN thread in the 'weight loss' forum. 

Good luck, Soupies!  Z 

don't know why came out twice!  

hi "souper dieters" ha i love that one!!! my name is judy and i have been a member of cc since april i started at 175 and went up to 180 (great just great) so about 2.5 weeks ago i bit the bullet and ordered the medifast plan which seems to be high soy protein, low carb(less than 80gm/day) and i have been lucky enough to get down to 171.5 so far.... i was in the last BLC and stayed the same for 12 weeks!!! ugh how frustrating ...that is why i am trying medifast. My goal is to get back to the 130's ...and fit in all my old clothes again!!!  have a great day team!!!!!
