Please consider joining the Biggest Loser Challenge  to help you shed those extra pounds. Whether your trying to lose the last stubborn 10 pounds or a good deal of weight we have a place for you in the Biggest Loser family!

For many of us, it is almost Fall! Fall is a great season for weight loss because the cooler weather encourages outdoor activity, seasonal produce like apples and root vegetables are abundant and nutrient-rich, and the return to routine after summer vacations provides structure for healthy eating and exercise habits. A perfect time to join our group!

    I would HIGHLY recommend! This team challenge provides fun and sociability along with rigorous exercises in fitness, nutrition self-care and other goals you may be setting. I initially lost over 70 lbs. with the BLC!

    Hello! My name is Rose and I am one of the captains for the Navy Ninjas Team. I joined BLC in 2008 and have stuck with it ever since. I love the weekly challenges and have learned so much about proper ways to diet and exercise. Thanks to my BLC teams, I got my weight down into ONEderland and kept going from there. I feel great! Photos of me at my highest weight and after I hit ONEderland. I have lost more weight since these photos were taken.

    This is not like the TV show, Biggest Loser Challenge, where they make you workout until you puke. You go at your own pace and can alter certain exercises so they are doable for YOU. During the 12 weeks of the challenge we offer you workouts, Tone N' Tighten challenges, share how certain diets and exercises work for us along with other challenges such as drink your water and get your veggies in. We weigh in once a week and discuss how our diets are working for us, to stay accountable.

    There is still room to join the Navy Ninjas team. If you need accountability we will give it to you. If you need a good ninja kick to get you moving, we'll give you that too!  ninja kick.png  We have had several members go into maintenance mode on our team. Come join us and we can work on this together. Click here and then click on REGISTRATION FOR THE BLC59 FALL ROUND

    Hi, my name is Mica from Navy Ninjas. I'm one of the maintainers who participates in the BLC every round, as a way to stay challenged, focused, and supported. I want a future without gaining the weight back. We all have different diets and different workout plans, but we're all in this together! We all deal with the same kinds of dilemmas. Join the BLC, and bring your questions, rants, ideas, anything really - and we'll take this journey together and learn from one another. Check out all the teams, and find your perfect fit. Find your tribe!

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Manasa and I am one of the co-captains of Navy ninjas team. I love the motivation and the support on the team to lose weight, maintain and inspire to reach any goal I set. The team provides a safe and non-judgmental space. We're here for the tough days, not just the good ones.

    This isn't about shaming or strict rules. It's about finding a team that truly understands the journey and is here to cheer you on, every step of the way. We share tips, healthy recipes, and most importantly, real-life stories that remind you you're not alone.

    Good morning MFP friends!

    Are you thinking about joining the BLC? It's a lot of fun. Take a look at the first post to learn how to register. There are many teams to choose from, each one has a slightly different "flavor". Find yours!

    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 the Biggest Loser Challenge  was one of those that I tried. 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 - two years later I reached my goal weight and lost 90 pounds. I learned that persistence not perfection  is the key to success. I have successfully maintained my weight for nine months now! There is a team for everyone; do you need support, structure, accountability, or a challenge? We have teams for each of those! We even have a team for those that need to navigate the maintenance phase of their lives! Pick the one that fits your lifestyle!
