Hello fellow Blue Losers! I work from home crunching sales numbers and selling! I've lost a little more than 40 pounds since Sept 1 when I started paying attention to what I am eating. I love the challenges on this site-they keep me focused and accountable.

I am a stress eater. I had a couple tough weeks with Christmas and the death of my father in law right before but I managed to stay at my 40 pound loss. Working hard to remove the last little bit of remnants. I didn't do well during this time BUT I was able to get right back to it and I am so proud of that! It's so easy to get in a funk and stay there but I truly believe the support on this site helped encourage me to do what was best for me and to eat what I should not what I wanted. While I was snacking and picking at the comfort foods that we had in the house, I felt yucky - two days of eating right and I feel so much better - more energy, just overall better in every way. Maybe I needed a little reminder of the old days and how great I feel now.

Sounds like we all have very full plates. I too am very full..

Mother of 3 girls; 7, 4, and almost 3 years old. I am married to my 4th child.

Ok not really but sure feels that way at times. :grumble: I work full time as a supervisor for a collection agancy; have been doing that for 7 years now. My husband and I own a small side business doing computer support and web design. I am the designer. We have 47 active sites right now on the internet. Because I am not busy enough :laugh: I am going back to school part time shooting towards my AB in Human Resource Management. And there is more, I am now the president for my daughters school PTA. YIKS --- so this challenge is finally about working on ME - it's all about ME ME ME.... :flowerforyou:

Good Luck All!

Well I guess I'll go a little more indepth about me. Other than working on my bachelor's in accounting, I work for a label/sticker making company in MD. Nice desk job that pays the bills for now, until I find something in my desired career field. Also have a ebay business selling earrings to make a couple extra bucks and help support different charities. Moved back home with my mom to focus all my money towards these dreadful student loans. Other than that no kids here yet, just a wonder boyfriend of 2years. :bigsmile:

Hey Everyone! I am so excited to be here! It seems like forever since I was on a "fitness website". I used to belong to another one but found my fitness pal and love it SO much more! So a little about me...
I just had my baby boy on November 22, 2008 via c-section and I am so in love with him... He is such an angel baby and is so easy! I get my sleep and he is on a every 4 hours eating schedule. I was hoping to breast feed (to help lose some weight too) but he had difficulty because he was a little early... I live with my fiance and step daughter in CA and I am currently a full time mom and student. I am in school to become an elementary school teacher (either 4th or 6th grade). I currently weigh more than I have ever weighed (without being pregnant) and I am SOOOOOOOO looking forward to being me again! I love challenges because they really do hold you accountable and I love the support and new friends :-) Are you all ready to become some BIG LOSERS?!

How do I put my ticker in my reply boxes? Do I have to do it Every time?

How do I put my ticker in my reply boxes? Do I have to do it Every time?

Q. How do I add a ticker to my forum signature?

A. Here's a quick explanation of how to add a weight loss ticker to your forum signature:

1. First, click on the "Tools" tab, then click on "Tickers" in the light blue bar below the tabs to reach the section of the site where you can create your ticker.

2. Follow the steps to create your ticker. They should (hopefully) be self-explanatory.

3. When your ticker has been completed, you'll be shown two boxes with code in them to display your ticker. Click on the box on the left (BBCode) - this is the code you need to use on the MyFitnessPal message boards. Highlight all of the code in that box (most browsers will do this automatically once you click on the box). If the code is not all highlighted, you can right-click on the box and choose "Select All"

4. Once you have highlighted all of the code, right click on the code and choose "Copy."

5. Now click on the "My Home" tab, then click "Settings" in the light blue bar below the tabs, and finally, click on the "Change forum signature" link.

6. Right-click in the box where you can type your forum signature and choose "Paste."

7. Finally, click "Save Changes."

Once you've saved your new forum signature, every post you've ever made should now display your ticker at the bottom of it. You don't need to create a new post to test your ticker - just look at any previous post, and the ticker will be displayed there if you've followed the steps properly.

So here is some stuff about me. I was actually on the blue team in the last Biggest Loser Challenge. I am proud to be on it again. I am a 32 yr old stay at home mom. I have a 10 and 8 yr old boys and one 17 mth old girl. They are so great with their little sister. They are also all red heads. I live in the mountains in NC. I love it here. I have been married for 11 years. In August I stepped on the scale and saw that I was 297 lbs and decided then that I would not let my self get over 300. I have lost 33 lbs so far. I was doing great when I first started but now my weight loss is real slow but I still just keep chugging on. I look forward to this challenge and hopefully I will start losing again soon.

I'm so excited also - sounds like we have a great team that can actually be the Biggest Losers this time. I'm glad we have each other to keep the motivation up! Will we start a new thread each week to keep up with each other? What's the best way to "check" on each other aside from the weekly weigh in?

abagwill · December 2008

OMG I am so excited! I honestly cannot wait! I just know this year is going to be amazing! You all already rock! Good job with all the weight loss most of you have completed It is so astounding to me :-)

RachVR6 · December 2008

I just messaged everyone I need start weights from. I guess we'll start a new thread each week.

jennNva · December 2008

I hope we can motivate each other each week and tell each other whats happen'in in there world. I love to here others stories and its the strenght that motivates me. I hope and pray our team can communicate in way we can keep each other going. I'm in this the long haul and need some support with me. So if you ask me to check up on you please don't consider me a pain in the *kitten* - I need it too!!

I'm still in high school. I've never been one to exercise except every day walking just to get to and from classes and around the house, ect. Since the middle of November, I've been walking a little on the tredmill and haven't really lost any weight. Now, I think it's time to get serious. So hopefully MFP and the Blue Team will help me accomplish my weight loss goals.
