    @cmhubbard92 Great job! Obviously you were being healthy despite your struggles last week.

    @cmhubbard92 You must have been in my head yesterday after work because I actually drank more water after I got home and hit a record amount for me - 66 oz - now to see if I can keep it up.

    Good afternoon, team The Big Butt Theory.

    Regrettably, I have come to the decision that I need to leave The Biggest Loser Challenge and take a sabbatical from MFP. I have only pretended to take care of myself for quite some time and I can no longer keep up the facade. The team will be left in Pam's (@pkg1998) very capable hands. She will continue to enter all your weights and remind those who are missing weigh-ins. Christine (@cmhubbard92) will continue to do the water and step challenges and Shawnee (@sandkp) will continue to do the food and fitness challenges. Assuming the team decides to continue with the Mini Challenge, someone will need to compile and post those results. To get the team caught up and then leave it up to date, I will be posting the Mini Challenge and weekly results until the end of the month.

    Grand Finale Results for September

    Team The Big Butt Theory had a really great September!! We tied for the highest team percentage of weight lost at 1.28%!! However, the tie was broken by the number of pounds lost, so our 65.7 pounds lost, albeit a great total, gave us second place officially as Team Gutbusters lost 76.8 pounds. Still, a FANTASTIC team effort!!! Congratulations!!

    Individually, our very own @energyseeker came in as the third overall Biggest Loser for the month, losing 5.12%!! Congratulations, Kim, on an outstanding September!!

    The TOP NINE Big Butts for the month, all losing over 2% of their body weight were:

    @energyseeker - 5.12%
    @MelsLeanDream - 4.32%

    @cossmoss15 - 3.76%
    @stubbornloser - 3.53%
    @heaz10 - 3.17%
    @Caronell - 3.03%

    @Coral333 - 2.66%

    Well done to these nine, and to any Big Butt who contributed to our team's second place finish for September!!

    @HASWLRS I am sad to see you go, but I do understand. I hope we will see you back here in the future.

    If you are planning on keeping up with the Mini Challenge until the end of the month, I can start compiling and posting the results starting the first week of the November challenge - If the team would like to continue it.

    @HASWLRS

    Lisa - I know everyone will agree that this team will not be the same without you. I will do my best to fill your shoes, but I know it won’t be easy. Your support and motivation was critical to keeping this group going. We have some strong members that are making the group grow each month, but your leadership was key to keeping us going. You will be missed severely and, when you’re ready, we’ll welcome you back with open arms.

    @brandi_84, that would be wonderful, Brandi.....thank you for stepping up and volunteering!! Many hands make light work. The last week of the month, once Ashley has the new thread for the next month up and running, you'll need to post a description of the Mini Challenge for the new team members. You can copy and paste mine, all of it or any part of it, if you would like. That's what I did each month...I created a post that I was happy with and then copy and pasted from then on.

    @pkg1998, thank you very much, Pam, for your kind words. It is definitely with a heavy heart that I am saying goodbye, for now. Like I said to Tami, maybe making a clean break at the end of the month will be the clean slate that I need to start whatever I need to start, without any unfinished or unsuccessful threads hanging on. The team has definitely stepped up and filled the void when I started to retreat, so I have no doubt that that will continue and expand once everyone still here is committed to moving forward and those of us that have other things going on, have gotten out of the way, so to speak. With Christine, Shawnee and Brandi offering to help with various aspects of the Challenge, hopefully it will be manageable for you. That being said, an official co-captain, one that can enter weights if you are away or just otherwise occupied, would be beneficial. Any takers??

    @brandi_84. Thank you so much for volunteering to manage the Mini Challenge. Based upon the number of participants we normally have, I’m sure most of the team will want to keep it going. I know for me that on the weeks that I actually participate fully I tend to see the best results.

    @cmhubbard92 Christine - Congratulations you are now officially co-captain (like Lisa said it’s really just entering weights for me if I’m out of pocket, which I try not to be very often). I’ll let Ashley know so that she can give you rights to edit the spreadsheet. Honestly with your activity on the boards and your support for this team with the steps/water challenge I think you were unofficially a co-captain already - at least I felt like you were.

    @pkg1998, @cmhubbard92, that was my thought, too....that Christine was already an unofficial co-captain because she was definitely an official cheerleader!! Team TBBT is in great hands!!

    @HASWLRS - I'm glad you are taking some time for YOU. I understand how the givers of the world, like you are, can get out of balance so easily, because of your generous heart. I look forward to being teammates again in the future, even if you are not leading the charge, but participating for YOU!

    I'm having serious 'f**k it' attitude this week. I need to adjust that before it slips into a bag of candy corn gone and sitting on my *kitten* all day for a week. Today I will work on some outdoor gardening and a walk to try to shake it.

    How do you guys deal with the times when it just all seems to be a pain in the patootey for a tiny tiny loss?
