List updated - welcome!

Hi Ali,

 First of all A Merry Chirstmas to you!  I want to thank you again for setting up this challenge!  I also think it is interesting that we have a low number sighing up for this challenge.  Given the fact with peoples "New Years resoulution and all"  Have a happy holiday and here's to making 2009 the best year ever.  I hope you got one of those corny ornaments with "Our 1st Christmas" on it.  After 24 years of marriage, I stil get a kick out of seeing mine,

I'm thinking (hoping) we'll get more sign-ups next week when people are shifting focus to the New Year.  If not, we'll have fun with a smaller group :)

We did get an ornament like that - it's a cute Precious Moments one.  We don't even have a tree to put it on (just doesn't seem worth it to get one until we have kids in the house), but I have it proudly displayed on our entertainment center.  You don't look like you could possibly be old enough for 24 years of marriage - you have endured it well ;)   

Oh Alle YOU KNOW YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!!!!

Sign me up for another round!

Papa

Count me in.  I'm new to CC and still learning my way around but would like some company for motivation.  I'm pretty darn tired of the lose-it-gain-it game and have found that journaling/tracking is key for me.  I vow this time will be different - when the weight is gone, the tracking will continue.  Hello to all and thanks for the challenge.

List updated!  Welcome back papa and happy to have ayou join us judikitty.  

Less than one more week left to sign up and until our first weigh-in!

Thanks for including me.  I look forward to being a big loser for my team!

I am new here...and I would love to join.  Just need some help in knowing what to do.  Thank you.

oh, can i play too??? puhleeeze??? sign me up- i seem to have hit a plateau and could use some more motivation!

Yeah! I'm in. This is PERFECT for me. I'm trying to lose as much as I can in a healthy way and get back into shape before I go back to work the end of March. Then I'l be wokring outside 50 hours a week. I NEED THIS!

I want to participate. I need to keep myself motivated because I've been maintaining my weight for the last couple of months (and that's not so good!)

This sounds great, just what I need to keep me in line. I would like to join ya- count me in too.

I am so afraid to weigh in, dont have a scale, but will buy one and be on here 12/30/08 with the lucky # ughhh, Im skeerrred...lol

I am so in!  I love the BLC.  Thanks for monitoring again Ali!  :)

Do I still have time to sign up?  I'm starting to gain instead of lose and I need something to get me going.

I'm in also.  This sounds like fun.

Count me in!

I have seen this before and have always wanted to join.  Count me in. 

Welcome everyone!

im in...thanks alle for taking the time to do this

Just noticed this.  The name's caverlady not carverlady (I go caving...can't even carve a turkey ).  It's in BLC Part 8 as well but didn't pay attention until today.
