    Hello team!

    Can't say I'm particularly fond of brown either. But I do like the team :)

    I've seen others put their weight loss goals for this competition; so I thought I'd do the same. I don't normally use weight goals - I prefer to just focus on eating right day to day. But for this; here goes:

    I'm 54 with another 150 lbs to lose. I've been actively working on losing for 3 weeks while following a ketogenic diet. So far I've lost 20 lbs in those 3 weeks. I think a responsible goal for me is to lose is around 2lb per week. After my initial water weight loss I've been losing 3-4lbs a week. But I still think 2lb per week is reasonable and responsible.

    I'm on the last leg of my weight loss now........and it's very slow going for me so please don't expect miracles!
    Plus I am on holiday in a couple of weeks and will not be tracking OR restricting but will get back into it once I get home!
    I would like to think I can achieve my target on this challenge.

    That is amazing, well done!
    And I think an achievable target really helps.....

    Haha of all the colors.

    Anyways, I have been really excited to begin. Week 3 will I will be on vacation, but I am hoping to turn it into a positive experience and be very active so I can meet my goals. I was trying to think of a number in my head for what I would like to achieve and I want to stretch slightly out of my comfort zone. I would like to lose 40 pounds in the next ten weeks. Since I am 4'10 and about 170lbs overweight this is a drop in the bucket. Go us!

    Hi team! I'm 27 and my weight is creeping up higher than ever thanks to some new psychiatric meds. I'm currently 203.5, with a goal weight of 115 (I'm only 5' 1/2"), so I have an almost 90 pound goal. For the challenge I would love to get my exercise back on track by doing at least 20 minutes (would prefer 30-60) a day on 3-5 days a week. I also want to work with my nutritionist to build a healthy eating plan and stick to it. First step, tracking my food!

    I am pretty busy (I run a business with my hubby, go to school, help out around my parents house where we live, etc), but I will try to stop by and chat as much as I can. I'm glad to meet everyone and be on this journey with y'all!

    Hey fellow brownies,
    Cant say I am a big fan of brown, but I love brownies and chocolate, so I'll think of our team as team chocolate.

    Im on vacation, so not exercising like I should, but I'll be back at it in a couple days :)

    Not too bad...8 out of 10 made it through the first weigh in.

    As a team, we come in at 1836lbs. That makes us about the same weight as a big brown buffalo :(

    You are dedicated!!! I'll pack a swimsuit, a couple books, and my sunglasses....but definitely no scale :)

    I guess this will be the test to see how much I have learned about portion control....of course, I'm going on a cruise, and I have heard that they have buffets everywhere you look.

    OOO exciting. I am going on a cruise in December. Yes, there is a lot of food to choose from, but I like all the activities. On my last cruise me and my mom loved the mardi gra party. I am going to be away for two weigh-ins and I don't want to be kicked.

    Britishbroccoli will remove you if you miss 2 weigh ins.......I asked in another thread called Holidays!
    I'm going to weigh in early and I do have WiFi where I'm going so may just throw the same weight in the week after.
    I am NO WAY taking or looking for scales on my hols!!!!!

    I am going to visit my grandfather and I know he doesn't have a scale and I would rather take it then give a guestimate or not weigh-in
