Challenge is no longer in progress and has ended....

I will be your team co-captain...:) 

My name is Tami for those on the team that don't know me...

I am currently doing Weight Watchers, but still use this site daily!

My starting weight I count as my first WW weight which was 228.6

Current weight is 218.8

Goal weight is 135-140

I am so excited to be doing this challenge...I can promise to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise this week so that I do my share in making sure we all win this thing!  I wish it had started yesterday...I walked 3 hours...lol...

Tomorrow is my official WW weigh-in so this is the number I will be using each week as my official weigh-in number...since my 218.8 is last Monday's WW weigh-in number...I hate to go back and forth between WW and my scale because I know they are not the same...I hope this is okay with everyone!

I can't wait to get started!!

Tami,

That is fine with me!  What we can use is your previous weeks weight and in turn, you will be losing more! HEHEHEHE I understand not wanting to go back and forth! 

I would like everyone to try and log onto Forum 5 at least once daily so I am not overwhelmed on Fridays with totals.... Hopefully I can log on a daily basis.

Of course this week is our walking challenge, but the challenge category will change weekly, so that is great.

I am so happy that we are on the same team!  Good luck and if you ever need anything you can email me, or I am always on Over 200 club!  HEHEHHE

We also need to think of a team name.... Got any ideas?

I will give it some thought...

Would you like us to report walking minutes daily as well?  I can report at night after I get in from walking...might keep it from being so overwhelming...or maybe I can keep track of walking minutes for everyone and you can keep track of weight or something like that...I will help any way I can...I can make a spreadsheet...

Last week's WW weight was the 218.8 so I will just report my Monday weight to you and that is the weight we will use to report on Sundays...I will just be behind everyone a little...

I am also on AIM...tabby719393...I added you so if you ever want to talk, let me know...I try to sign in every night...and I also check in our original 200 club as well...:)

Yes YES YES!  Report daily walking as well! 

I am working on the spreadsheet right now.... Your current weight is 218.8 correct?

How about you keep track of the challenge stuff on a spreadsheet, that way it's not too overwhelming....

So this week, your in charge of the walking minutes! 

sounds good...I will keep track of walking and you keep track of weight...:)

We will do this together!

I wonder if anyone else is going to check in?  I am sure they will...probably tonight or tomorrow morning!! 

I can't wait to win!!  I will probably walk 45-60 minutes a night...so I will definitely help in that category...it also helps me with my WW because I have not been exercising at all...

I will just report my weight to you on Mondays and that is what we will use for our official report on Sundays...sound good?

okay...I have a spreadsheet ready...and it will add everything I enter and recalculate...:)  We are going to kick butt...:)

Hi guys...so glad you are going to be the co-captians...I emailed her to tell her I would but admit that I am So Glad you guys are and not me....I was afraid that I would let people down if I did not keep a handle on things...sounds like you guys are going to do great, splitting things up...

So I will weigh in each Friday morning and tell you my losses...I will also try to report my exercise...however, will not be able to post at night, usually can the next morning, like I do on the Over 200 Club! but I will tell you for which day it is...etc.

I am really excited to be participating on this challenge...

Ginny,

That is fine because you always log in early enough and I always get to your posts.... IF no one else logs on, then we can just do it!  HEHEHEHE I really hope others log on because our chances of winning will be lower but I don't care, after all its for us and those that participate!  I am sure they will chek in tonight or tomorrow... This is one of the Sundays I actually have off, so I was able to prepare!

Tabby:  Sounds great!  My spreadsheet is up and running too!  I noticed that nycolea put our goal weights overall and not over the 12 weeks of the challenge... I want to know everyone's goal weight JUST FOR THE CHALLENGE, so I can help motivate one to reach it!  Mine is just 185, however my overall goal (September 2008) is 136. 

I need to know everyone's weight goal for the challenge.

Okay...my goal weight for the challenge is 190...that is 28.8 pounds...I think it is doable...we shall see!!!

I have had a good weekend so far...been under my WW points both days which makes up for my horrendous Friday...lol...I hope it is enough to show a good loss tomorrow!!

I can't wait...we will do it no matter how many people actually join us!!

yay tabby!  That is a really great goal! i thought I was doing worse, but today I am doing well.... Just ate dinner and it was a total of 180 calories... I am at 986 for the day... Still haven't gone swimming!

I guess I should post an introduction...

My name is Ashley, I only 20 but will be 21 on June 3! YAY!  I used to be very very thin in high school but because I stopped exercising I gained a LOT of weight.  Nearly 85 pounds.  My goal is to reach a weight and body type I am happy with and be healthy for years and my life ahead.  I am losing weight relatively slow because I exercise minutly, minimally and rarely.  It is sporadic.  Tomorrow, I am going to go to the gym and walk (for 30 mins) and then do some weights.... Afterward, I have cheer practice from 6-8 pm.  I interact with the kids but DO NOT do nearly as much as I would like.  Anyway, I am in school to become a surgeon with either an emphasis in plastics or in neuro.... havent decided.  My goal for this challenge is to learn new things about myself and friends and to reach 185 by August 31. 

Here are my stats:

CW:  206

GW: 185

Age:  20

Height:  5'6"

TWL: 5 lbs since April 16, 2007

Remember everyone, I need to know your goal for the challenge, meaning your goal BY August 31, 2007.  I know some of you show that you want to lose ALL of your weight, and I don't want you to kill yourselves doing that... Help me help you succeed... Tabby is the co-captain and she is here to help too!  She will be recording all of the challenge details and I will keep track of your weight loss and total weight loss every week.

Lastly, if you have AOL instant messenger i am surfbabe689 and am ALWAYS on.... Please feel free to add me.  If you feel comfortable relaying your name, post it here so we can keep in contact that way too.

If you would like to get ahold of me more, my email is bqueenme@yahoo.com..... feel free to use that too for an immediate response!

Any other questions, please feel free to ask!

Hello All My Name is Erica (as the name says..lol) I started this journey Feb 8th 2007 I belive and lucky for my team i just broke out of a 3 week plateu.

Starting Weight: 318

Current Weight: 290

Weight Loss: 28lbs as of this AM

Total Minutes of Exercise for the week: 120

Goal Weight: As of August (which is my B-Day) I would like to be 265 (25lb Loss)

Where is Blue?

I know she would have checked in by now... Hopefully tomorrow!

Checking in.  Will post more tomorrow (or later today rather) when I'm more awake.

(peeks over from Team 2...) 

I just wanted to drop in and say good luck to everyone!! 

(Drops off a yummy chocolate cake...).

did you notice megonjay is trying to sabotage this team...ha...we are on to her...won't happen....

Ashley...my goal weight for the challenge was 220...I think I will be lower with an average of 10 lbs per month but didn't want to let the team down by putting too much down...yesterday I was 236...This morning it looked like I was 235 but no one saw me cheating so I am not going to put that down yet...;-) wink wink...if it is 235 Friday morning that will show a 4 lbs loss for our team!!!!

So, Tabby...we need to walk all 7 days a week right, or can we walk more each day and take a day off?  30 mins a day X 7 days = 210 mins, right?  Sundays are hard for me to exercise with my family's schedule but can make it up the other days if that is okay or will just have to tell them I need 30 mins...

I am so glad to be a part of this team and this challenge...

HEHEHEHE The chocolate cake... OOOO yummmy.... Too bad it is electronic!

Ginny:  great noticing that!  I thought so, but I just had to laugh... it's all fun and games!  I would say you need to walk a minimum of 30 minutes EVERY day... If you choose to walk more each day, that will be better for the team.   Basically the more you walk the more likely our chances of winning the challenge.  I don't think you should count longer hours one day for no walking the next.... Of course it is always up to you to decide if you want to walk for the day or not :-) 

I am so happy that each and every person is on our team!  WOO HOO!

Starting Weight: 177

Current Weight: 180

Weight Loss: -3

Total Minutes of Exercise for the week: 320

Goal Weight: 150

I went to Disneyland yesterday, and ate horribly, so I gained some weight back.  I'm sure it will go away soon though.
Also, I don't keep track of walking on here, just exercise at the gym.  I do walk a minimum of 30 minutes a day though, as it takes 15 minutes each way to the gym.  Plus, I walk to just about anywhere I want to go if it's within a 45 minute walking radius unless I'm buying stuff that I can't carry back.
My aim name is starffy, but I'm almost never on.

Hello,

I was supposed to be on this team but I am not on our team list here?  What happened?

Was it just an oversight?

Ok, I have been reading some of the posts from all the teams so these comments are not directed at anyone person.

Your STARTING WEIGHT for this week will be the ORIGINAL starting weight that you guys gave me, so you will be getting credit for TWO WEEKS of weightloss.

For the walking challenge, only PURPOSEFUL walking that actually raises your heart rate will count! So walking to the bathroom, to the car, up the stairs (unless purposely and repeatedl for exercise), walking in the mall (unless power walking) do not count. Walking at work does not count.  Walking on a treadmill, intense walking in place in front of the t.c. and going out for purposeful exercise walking do count though. The purpose of the challenge is to get you a little out of your comfort zone... to go that extra mile for your team.

Oh, and just so you know I am not ignoring you between the hours of 7 am and 5 p.m eastern time... I'm at school. lol. But I will be out by May 29th.

no cardio besides walking counts. Ellipticals do not count. using steppers does count

Stormkat I don't know what happened, I listed you on the commentary thread page. I think queen may have deleted you from the team. Well, queen could you please put stormkat back on the team list, and any others you may have deleted (unless I told you they bowed out).
