Can you believe it? We are in our final week of this 8-week challenge! This week the double-points are for reaching the "burned 3,500 calories" category, so let's get moving!
Remember: at the end of this week, I will also be announcing the individual who loses the most weight throughout the challenge (I think I will announce both the most pounds lost and highest percentage lost). So be sure to let your team captain know your starting and ending weights.
I have read some comments where people are wanting to continue the challenge and I am totally happy if someone wants to keep this one going, start another challenge that is similar to this one, or create something new and different! PM me directly if you have questions or want any pointers (I learned a lot along the way!).
Bring on the week!

RedVelvette thank you for you have done for me. I have met some wonderful people along the way (you included). I wish you all the best in your continued weight loss journey. I'm getting teary now!0

Thank you!! It has been such an amazing experience to put this challenge together. I had no idea if anyone would join and have been delighted every day I read through the threads (yes, I read other teams threads, too, because every ounce of motivation helps!!) And I absolutely love seeing people connecting and being so incredibly supportive!
Please, if you're reading this and haven't already done so, feel free to add me as a friend so we can continue to support each other in our fitness journeys!

Happy last day of the 8-week challenge!
I realize that today is Easter, and I didn't plan on the last day being a holiday... sorry! So maybe enjoy those Easter brunches and just sweat out the indulgences!
I hope you all enjoyed these past 8 weeks! :-)0 -
Thanks for the challenge RedVelvette!0

If it wasn't for you initiating this challenge, I truly believe I would have not accomplished the 20 lb. weight loss I have achieved. With you and the YELLOW TEAM drive, you kept me motivated to accomplish the impossible (all in my mind). I hope to periodically keep you informed of my continued weight loss journey and help me celebrate when I reach my goal of 150 lbs.0

Thanks @RedVelvette for putting this challenge together -- it was fun and helped keep me on a somewhat healthy track even when I blew my calorie goal out of the water for the day -- had to get those veggie and fruit servings in LOL
Hope we cross paths again in the future.
Good luck Gloria to reaching your goal.0 -

Bah! It appears my GREEN team fell apart when I went to Paris. I fell off my fitness wagon, too.
So I've joined the MFP April Apprentice Challenge if anyone wants to join me. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/113005-mfp-apprentice-april
Best of luck all with your fitness goals and thanks again, @RedVelvette, for getting us on the right track!0
