    Hi
    I also didn't make it into the biggest loser challenge which was a disappointment.
    If possible I would really love to join I really need all the help I can get. I like that your group focuses on mental health and not just physical which would be a great help to me.

    Thank you
    Melissa

    Good afternoon everyone. We're almost there, everyone has joined the group with the exception of yokleigh & luvsunshine1. This is great, this tells me that this is something that we all want and is Serious about it.

    I originally wanted the challenge to consist of 20 participants, but after all the responses, we're up to 26!! It was hard to say no when individuals are trying to do something positive!!

    My teammate and I have been communicating really well, getting to know each other, learning strengths and weaknesses. We also took and extra step to connect on Face-book. I again encourage you all to get to know each other at a level that is comfortable for you and your teammate.

    Also, there was a little confusion about who I have chosen to be teammates. Please make sure you all are reading the threads so that we're all on the same page!

    I'm excited about this challenge!! Let's go, Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Teams for the challenge are as follows:

    DrSelenaMyers & nelsaphine

    jyneefur & yokleigh

    dawn_westbury & luvsunshine1

    nrz242 & bexalicous

    AnJuINZ & lovelycatbones

    tropicalgirl34 & rbealynnh

    Rho_Ro & pnotyap

    Mitchellcm & Lennonluv2

    Kelso2628 & EatRunBreathe

    LilyGoncalves & _Tara_R

    127saz & Stephanieb72

    rramirez1272 & mya_bella

    katheryn_chitwood & ljdborton

    Hello Dr Myers,

    If anyone drops out I would love to join this group. I've been struggling with a lot of things and weight loss/body image/self esteem is probably one of the biggest issues, so I'd really appreciate the help and support if you have any spare spaces. I'm in the UK so I'm not sure about time zones but I am really serious about taking control of my life!

    Thanks,
    Aquiline

    Challenge members, I have a conference call number that I sometime use for my practice. During the challenge, I'll give a specific date/time for everyone to call in. This will allow us to be able to talk and discuss many different topics live. I know that all 26 members will not be able to call in during the designated time. However, those that will be able to, I think this will be another special benefit of this challenge, giving it a more personal connection. :smile: :heart: :smile:

    Hopefully everyone will have the opportunity to participate in a conference call during the challenge. If not that will be okay.:smile: I know that we all have busy schedules, and this may prevent some from participating in the conference calls. I haven't decided definitely, but I'm leaning more on scheduling the calls on Wednesdays around 8 or 9 pm EST.

    I posted information in the "Time Zone" thread encouraging those that are not on EST to use to get a better idea of what time they should be posting according to EST.

    Okay, more than half has joined the gathering. I might sway everybody to in any event send a companion ask for to their colleague provided that you haven't as of recently done so.

    This sounds like a great challenge and I would like to join if there is still an opening. I have worked as mental health nurse for 9 years and love it.
