    Hi All,

    I have been pleasantly surprised and very shocked at the number of people that have expressed interest in our challenge. I really dislike turning people away, especially if they are trying to better themselves by reaching out for support in helping themselves achieve health goals.

    At this moment I have over 100 people on our waiting list. As a result I have created 3 more teams! This won't place them all but at least it will help 45 of them.

    Because we've grown so much I am looking for a Team Captain for each team. This person should be someone that is 100% committed to not only their own success but each and every team member on the team. This must be someone that logs in DAILY.

    I'll be looking to the Team Captains to ensure everyone on your team has submitted their weekly weigh-ins on or before Friday of every week. If there is a team member that is falling off the wagon, I'll be looking to you to encourage them to continue both for their own benefit as well as the team's overall weekly standing. This may require a personal message to them of encouragement or maybe just a reminder that they haven't submitted yet.

    If this sounds like something you'd like to do let me know ASAP. I'd like to have Team Captains selected prior to our April 1 start date.

    Thank you to RaeBeeBaby for offering to be Team Captain! Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

    Happy to be Team Captain!

    I hope you guys are all getting ready for a kick-butt challenge! Don't forget to post your initial weight on the weigh-in thread on or before this Friday, April 1st! If you don't post by Friday your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list (and we DON'T want that to happen)!!

    I'll try to friend request all of our teammates, but if I miss anyone, please send me one and indicate Biggest Loser in the message.

    We seem to have quite an international team, hi to you all. I am a Canadian.

    @RaeBeeBaby, thanks for stepping up to be team captain!

    I am usually a Friday weigh in person, but have fallen off the wagon all weekend so decided I needed
    a wake up call, so changed my weigh in day to Tuesday, today. As I thought, going the wrong direction, weight was up (197.4 lb).

    My main goal is to lose 10lbs for April, which will get me well into my 180's. I started in February in the mid 200's, March 190's, and now, hopefully, 180's for April.

    I am definitely ready to get it off for good. Team, let's do this!

    Some of you have not checked in with the group yet. Please do so and introduce yourself and also post which day of the week is your weigh-in day (or correct the above if I got it wrong). This will help keep us on track for the weekly weigh-ins.

    I've send a friend request to everyone who has posted on this thread and will be sending the remainder tomorrow. If I miss you, please send one to me!!

    Thanks!

    @RaeBeeBaby I'm happy you are our team leader. And I can change my weigh in day if necessary.

    Thanks! I was happy to see you on the same team as me!! Whatever day you want to weigh is fine as long as it's posted by each Friday. We don't have to have the same day (although that would be easier, LOL).

    Hi all! Jordis from New Zealand checking in! Have posted my starting weight which is up a tad (silly Easter), but been on a roll for the last year so should be a one off :smile: Weigh in day is Thursday (NZ time, so Wednesday for all you silly people living in the past).

    Love it! We truly have the most international team of awesomeness ever! I count at least 5 countries so far!

    I'm a Canadian that was lucky enough to spend 1 week in your beautiful country (Auckland & Rotorua) before going on to spend another week in Australia (Sydney)!! Holy moley, the SHEEP!!! LOL!!! To this day the Waitomo Glowworm Caves still amaze me.

    In the tracking sheet, i still see 4 members who have not filled in their weigh-in day
    Please people, fill this in asap so we have our team complete!

    We are doing this together now!

    If we don't hear from them by this afternoon, I will send each of them a message. There's a lot of people on the waiting list, so hopefully they'll still want to keep their spots or they WILL be replaced. >:)

    Hi guys, just posted my starting weight. 98kg (216 pounds) up a bit after Easter. Back on track now. Going to have to get used to this pounds conversion thing!
    Good luck everyone.
