What's this all about? Can I join? I'm a Northern Numpty from Lincolnshire! :laugh:

I think my weight loss was mainly water! I'm afraid I don't think next week will be half as impressive - I went off the rails a bit on Friday night after my weigh-in, though am back on track now.

Well done to the Northern Numpties - come on Southern Softies!

btw, my ticker only shows 6lb loss as I signed up way back in October on my iphone, and before spending 2 weeks eating and drinking over Christmas!! I only really started using MFP in January, and it's been a real help. Thanks everyone!

Well done to the Northern Numpties - come on Southern Softies!

If you lost that every week El, I'd get you referred to the eating disorders clinic! Congrats anyway

For anyone wanting to join, please SEND ME A MESSAGE (post it somewhere or put it in your status updates by all means, but you are unlikely to make it to the results table unless I've a message in my inbox).

Include:

1. Your starting weight for the challenge and the date it was taken on.

2. Your weigh day (it doesn't matter what day you weigh on, but stick to the same one for the challenge so that each week's results reflect 7 days of team effort)

3. The Team you want to be on, and your location, if you don't mind people knowing. If you have no emotional preference as to north or south, use the Watford Gap test- NN6 7UZ is the postcode for Watford Gap Services on the M1. Put it into google maps and see if you are north or south of it!

If you add your team to your signature, people will realise that you've joined and we will all get to know each other quicker- mates and opposition...

Each week on your weigh day or as near as possible, send me a message to my inbox with your updated weight and I'll add it to the table.

Results showing weights, losses and percentage weight loss for each team will be published each Saturday if possible, as long as everyone has given me their weights by midday on Sat. If anyone is late, the results will be delayed.

Have fun, and lets see who are the biggest losers!

Well done all. Just opens the door for us softies to storm the second week!

I've put a pound on since yesterday though, so the big numbers may not be coming from me!

Big well done to all my fellow Northern Numties, my contribution was a disapoining 1/2 an lb :grumble: , but am keeping everything crossed for a better weight loss this week!!!

Oddelly · January 2011

Well done everyone! Though I swore the softies were going to do it this week.

Warning that the next week (my weigh in days are tuesday) won't be so good (sorry southers!) but I will try and make it up week 3

Rosy you've done a fantastic job with the tables and statistics. You are FABULOUS :flowerforyou:

James501 · January 2011

get in!!!! biggest loser.

8lbs was huge but i'll be happy with 1lb this week. good start to my weight loss though and well doen to everyone else.

well done to the northerners for their win though. no bitterness from me just yet.

come on my southern team lets smash them next week. I'm far to competitive to lose 2 weeks in a row xxx

ifeelsqueaky · January 2011

Whooo well done to everyone for doing so incredibly well! And thanks to Rosy for putting that table together - I didn't even know my percentage loss so that was interesting

Come on Southern Softies, we can do it next week!!

dilemmadale86 · January 2011

Woop! Go Northern Numpties! Well done everyone

Thanks so much for doing this Rosy! (Also, I've been watching your loss getting bigger every day this week and I don't reckon the Southerners stand a chance next week either!)
