alle0299 - Thanks for continuing BLC into the New Year. I would like to join for the next round.

Ooops - thanks for pointing that out caverlady!  Sometimes I just read things however I want and forget reality :)  I typed it out so many times in BLC 8 too - doh!

Welcome back everyone!

Thanks Alle!  I didn't notice it myself until today, so I guess we both forgot reality!  Thanks for all the hard work!

This sounds like fun so count me in, if it's not too late.  I'm moving in January and starting school again so I think that this challenge will really help me to stay motivated.

If it's not too late I'd like to join. I need all the help I can get. I'd love to be the biggest loser! I'm hoping that having a team that needs my support will help keep me on track.

ok sign me up again.  but i am pretty disscussed with this wall!
