Hello Ladies! lhurtubise recommended we start a closed group for our team. This will allow us to check in on challenges, questions, or whatever we may want to bring up. Feel free to communicate with be through this board or by private message. Looks like we are almost finished with our first day and we have all torched some calories. Good job! See you tomorrow!

    Unfortunately, I didn't notice a character limit on the title. This group is for Team 5, Calorie Torchers in the Biggest Loser Challenge 10/31/11 - 12/26/11.

    YAY! I am so excited about this challenge! I love The BIggest Loser show ... although I have a lot of episodes to catch up on.

    For Monday I burned 911 calories. I have step aerobics tonight so hopefully I can add to that number! I am shooting for 1,000 calories burned! Great job everyone! Let's burn it up!

    Well that may make 3 of us! I gave in a little to Halloween temptation earlier in the week, but hopefully I will be a too loose a little something for the team. Anyways we are definitely doing well with calories burned! For Thursday I burned 876 calories! I took a advanced step aerobics class and I kept up with the skinny girls! YAY

    I've been holding on to weight this week which is annoying because this hasn't happened to me since August but mother nature calls and the scale is not moving.

    Today's my rest day but I did Zumba yesterday and there was a lot of butt shaking. I have been owning that lately and for me the butt shaking turns into thigh and back shaking too :laugh: So it goes. The more I shake the more I lose and I'm having a great time.

    Happy Saturday, Everyone! I hope you are having a great start to your weekend. I wanted to update all the numbers I've collected from everyone. I have everyone's starting weights and just to be fair, my starting weight is 231.6. So far calorie burn is looking like this:

    lhurtubise 3228
    Reneeileen 2856
    DrG3n3 2155
    RAQUELINATOVAR 1340

    Our team total so far this week is 9579 calories! We still have the whole weekend ahead of us and I know we are going to kill it in our workouts.

    I'm heading out in a bit to spend some quality time the the elliptical and pump some iron :)

    Don't forget to get me your final numbers on Sunday so I can forward them on to DrG3n3 for our weekly weigh in.

    KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK CALORIE TORCHERS!
