Hi - I'm Grace, one of the Captains of the NAVY NINJA TEAM! I've been with the BLC (Biggest Loser Challenge) for around 12 years. I've lost weight and even when I gain some back, I'm able to keep it to a minimum with the support and challenge of our teams! I've made life long friends and know they're always there for me!

Hey everyone—I’m Pam from the Bronze Wellness Warriors, one of the fabulous teams you can join on the next round of The Biggest Loser Challenge.
The name is a bit dated now, but that’s because we’ve been doing this since the show was on TV. The approach has been modified A LOT, but the support, camaraderie and healthy competition still remain.
⬆️ Go to the links in the first post and check us out.2 -
Hello potential new teammates! I am Cindy from the Determined Desert Tortoise team.
This will be my 3d round with the team. The accountability and team support has helped me lose 32 pounds since January.
We are a very inclusive team and will help YOU find a path to a healthier life. Our team is very diverse and hugely interactive.
We also like to get a little silly on occasion. Our weekend challenges are all about having fun!
Check us out and join us for 12 weeks of dedicated teamwork!4 -
Hello everyone, my name is Deb and I am a member of Bronze Wellness Warriors. I joined for the first time last round and have to say, it has significantly helped me focus more on exercise, eating healthy, and my emotional well being. All of my teammates were exceptionally welcoming and supportive. I immediately felt like I was a member of the family. Come join us and we will welcome you too!4

Hello! I am Ruth from the POWERFUL PRISM PANTHERS team.
Our team isfor people who are either at or near maintenance, or for people who have already lost a lot of weight. Ie, we are people who KNOW what we need to do to loose/maintain, but who may need encouragement/help in implementing those good routines in a REAL world.
We do not generally participate in the BLC challenges. Instead, each of us has her own specific goals in areas of sleep, nutrition, exercise, and more, (ie what you know will work for YOU without a bunch of fluff!). We track and report on these goals, and also try to up our interest and progress with a weekly "Captain's Challenge" .
We are all pretty busy ladies, so we are a more laid-back team, but very welcoming and supportive!!
Our moto is:

You’ll see us continually posting on this thread because that keeps it up top where people will see it.
And we want you to see it because we LOVE new members on our teams.

Please join us for the next round of the Biggest Loser Challenge. If you are looking for something to help you keep accountable or motivated and have some fun at the same time - look no further. I joined the challenge a couple rounds ago and had so much fun. I liked it so much I became a captain of Determined Desert Tortoises. Our team, and many of the other great teams at BLC, is looking for new members and we would love for you to join us. The Determined Desert Tortoises are a wonderful group; sharing great ideas, support, motivation, and accountability in such a nonjudgmental way.

Hi! I'm JenH Captain of Azure Destinations! I've been involved with the BLC both here and on Sparkpeople where it originated. During this time I got from 253 to 153!!! I've gained some of it back now, which is why I'll probably always need the support and challenges I find here! Please come join us!

Hello. My name is Joanna and I've been doing the BLC challenges since around BLC20 and have lost about 30 pounds altogether. Like the others have said, the BLC challenges are a fun way to lose weight with friends.
I'm also the Captain of the Resolute Renegade team. If you're not sure what you need to do to lose weight then the Resolute Renegade team might be a good fit for you as we help you figure out your magic weight loss formula.
Renegades do not do the standard BLC challenges - Weekend Challenge (WEC), Tighten & Tone (TNT), Last Chance Workout (LCW). Instead Renegades do a WeekLong Challenge (WLC), which has 3 team goals that we all do (top 3 rows in tracker):
• Intentional Fitness Minutes (IFM) - 150 minutes per week minimum is the goal
• Strength Training (ST), - 3 ST workouts per week minimum is the goal
• and Eating on Your Food Plan (self-explanatory)
Please note: Our team doesn't do a lot of chit chat so if you're looking for a team that does that, our team probably isn't a good fit for you.

Awesome! @BodyTalking
When they get you set up and on the regular team, check out the 'break challenges' where people are hanging, chatting and doing activities together to keep momentum going until the fall challenge starts

Hey everyone! Just here to bump up the BLC challenge thread again.
I originally joined the BLC at the end of December for the BLC54 season that started in January. I have now participated in two seasons with BLC.
I used to participate in the old Amazing Race challenges, and realized I did the best at losing when I could be accountable to a team and compete with my team against other teams. I am performance oriented, and I realized that I will do more for my team than I'll do for myself.
In two seasons and a break, I've lost about 25 lbs to reach my goal weight. This next season will be my first participating in the BLC challenges in 'maintenance' mode. I've lost weight in the past, but put it back on, so I know how important it is to have that team support while in maintenance.
So you can do this challenge if you need to lose weight, if you want support while maintaining, or if you are looking for a support team while working on your nutrition and fitness goals. I also like that many of the weekly challenges include nutrition, water, strength training, cardio and self improvement tasks, as being healthy is a bit of all of them.
Check out the links at the top, and join us for the next round!

I started my weight loss journey in January 2023. Started just by walking, started with a mile and added a little more each week. I also started tracking my calories on MFP, I lost 15 pounds the first few months, but then was getting bored. This was my usual weight loss journey - I would get bored and then quit and gain it all back (and then some) just to repeat the process all over again. Then found the challenges page on MFP and joined the BLC challenge. I can honestly say I would be where I am today without it. Losing weight became fun with this challenge and I also met some wonderful people. It keeps me motivated and accountable. I started at 228 pounds - a little over a year and half later and I am down almost 84+ pounds. I can honestly say I would be where I am today without them. I lked it so much I became a co-captain and now captain of the Determined Desert Tortoises . Our team is looking for new members and we would love for you to join us.4 -
