Hi guys! I'm Michelle! I'm about halfway through my weight loss journey! I participated in BL10 and did pretty well---but I lost control the last couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to this BL11 to give fresh motivation! I bought a new swimsuit, and I bought it a tad snug! So, must get serious this round!! I will get to the gym5x a week and count my cals! Look forward to hearing from you all! GO PINK!

Hello all, Im Scott. I joined this for extra motivation. It's kind of exciting. We can do this together. Lets make the Pink team one of CC's BLC legend.

I LOVE PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Julie - I have between 40-50 lbs to lose still so I am very happy to be on the PINK team!  woohoo go pink!  To help my team (& me) I'm going to stick to my calorie limits & focus on EXERCISE as that has been lacking lately!

GO PINK!

Cal limits and exercise are KEY! You'll do great! We are all going to rock this thing! Yes, I agree...LET'S MAKE BL HISTORY FOLKS! GO PINK!!!!

(I LOVE pink too!)

Buggyhair checking in. I have 22.2 pounds to lose to reach my goal. Now is the time I really have to up my game.

Go Pink! 

I'm embarrassingly excited about this challenge, can't wait to see everyone's stats next week!!

We ought to find a Pink song to be our team music... any ideas?  Or is that just a sad notion by someone who got up far too early on a Saturday lol

Go Pink!!!

Good to see a few more of you checking in! (We still need to track down the rest of the team!) I am hoping for an excited bunch ready to really get serious this round! LAst challenge, my team fizzled out and there were only 3 of us even posting weights! Ugh! No fun!

Song, sure! Did you have a suggestion? Did you just mean a song for the pink team or a song By the artist Pink? ('Cuz I Can' always pumps me up for a workout!) Ha.

How'd everyone do the first day in? Get in some exercise? Stay on your diet plan?

I went rollerblading this morning with  my girlfriend, she is on the red team and i should have pushed her in the water on our way around the trail. Sorry to say tho, she is far more advanced on those rolling wheels of death than i am. Also, im always within my calorie range, i cant go over. Ill feel like im letting myself down. I look at it the same way as when i quit smoking, one puff and its all i would need to start again. How about the rest of the team? How are you all doing?

OMG you almost made me choke on my morningstar links! (Eating breakfast while reading about pushing her into the water) Congrats on quitting smoking! I quit 8 years ago!

I stayed within my cals yesterday and took a brisk 15 minute walk with my kids to the park (15 min there, 15 min back) I had my oldest zooming on his scooter so I was trying to keep up pushing my youngest on the bike/stroller thing. While there, I played on the equiptment with them (climbing, sliding, swinging). I also got in my exercises for another challenge (exercise and water drinking monthly challenge I am on) so I did my jumping jacks, pushups, crunches, squats there. Yea, no one else was there! There are also a set of steps so I went up and down them I dont know how many times while the kids played. I was feeling all of it by the time we got home. We'll see what activity I can come up with today. My Gym days are M-F.

Keep on doing great all!

Hello all! My name is CC and I need to lose about 50 pounds to meet my final goal of 135 pounds by May of next year.  Unfortunately when I stepped on the scale this morning I was 189.4 - not sure what happened yesterday but I am going to make sure to try and fix it this weekend.  Super excited about this challenge, we are totally going to kick some butt!!

Good morning "Pinkies!" 
Just thought I'd pop in to wish you all luck! Have fun and here's hoping that you're all LOSERS!!! 

See you at the finish line!!

~Maggie (Captain of the Red Team)

Hi Pink Team!

I'm Faith and I have 45 pounds to lose before my first goal is reached. I'm hoping to get down to 190 by the end of this challenge. I'm counting cals and do my workouts at home.

Good luck to everyone. Stay strong over the weekend!

Faith

Maggie is such sweetie ya'll! I know her from before this. Good encouragement from that one! But You'll get that here too!!! Make this weekend count! Let's really show our stuff on the first weigh in . We can do it!

I tell ya, the kids wanted pizza last night so we ordered. I had 2 slices of veggie on thin crust. I really wanted a slice of the kids xtra cheese hand tossed. Yumm. But I RESISTED! (cue  'ta-da' music) I Love pizza, and had to tell myself that I've already had plenty of pizza in my life and I will have it again......just NOT TONIGHT! I want a super weigh in and I want to fit into a new swimsuit!! Find a goal....short term....and FOCUS!

Hi CC! Hi Faith! Seems many of us have about 50 to lose! I am shooting for slightly under that. WE can all do this! Mindset! STRONG mindsets and determination! Anything is possible! Life is what you make it! (Here's my fave, found it on a T-shirt:  CREATE THE WORLD YOU WANT!) I wish the Tshirt was in my size! Haha! I only saw it in a S and XS. But I sure loved that sentiment!

So, what is everyone's plans this weekend to incorperate some exercise?

well, i dont have the kids this weekend so thats out. but ill probably get some more rollerblading in. I bike allot too.  My goal is about 90-100 pounds. Not in this challenge, but CC gives me a time frame of 2 years. Im not really following that, i stay within my calories and exercise and it will come when it comes.

That's right! You have a healthy attitude! I have went by the books and ended up losing pretty fast. Of course, I have had my own set backs....had plateau.....then I had 2 weeks where I simply 'fell off the wagon'. It happens. But I'm back, and not done yet.

I think I'm going to take the kids on another walk to the park today. Yesterday was fun....and I feel that it was a great workout on my body!

We got a few more people to check in! I messaged everyone so they knew where to find us!

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to lose my last 10-15 pounds and this is a fun challenge to do so!

Song, sure! Did you have a suggestion? Did you just mean a song for the pink team or a song By the artist Pink? ('Cuz I Can' always pumps me up for a workout!) Ha.

 Yeah, I meant a song by the singer Pink.  'Cuz I Can' sounds like a great choice!  Or perhaps 'Get This Party Started' - never fails to get me on my feet for a quick dance around.

Hello!  I'm Jen!  Sorry, I'm a bit late checking in but I've thankfully been away from a computer for about 24 hours - oustide being active!  I work in front of a screen all day...so it was nice to have a break.

I'm glad to be a part of the Pink team!  I have lost almost 30 lbs since November, and still have quite a ways to go - so I'm looking forward to a little added incentive mid-stream!  I've been doing Weight Watchers online, but decided to quit the program when I saw all the neat things going on here.  I've only been on this site for a few weeks...so I'm just learning the ropes.  Please don't hesitate to tell me if I'm doing something wrong!

My co-worker TeeTee is on the pink team, too?!  Never thought in a million years we'd be on the same team!  Fun!

Nice to meet all of you.  GO PINK!
