    What up Blue Team!!
    I'm Sam from Winnipeg, Manitoba and I can't wait to get this challenge started!
    This is also my first challenge so I hope that it keeps me more accountable, cause I have been slipping a bit this past couple weeks.
    We are in it to win it!!

    Hey Team Blue,

    My name is Tiffany, I'm 37 from GA, and just like everyone else here, I am here to be challenged into losing a serious amount of weight. I need to lose weight not only for my health, but for my future hubby and future child(ren). I started my MFP weight loss journey on October 24, 2011. I've lost 10.2lbs so far and I have a goal to lose at least 40 during the challenge. My ultimate goal is to lose 100 pounds. I hope to encourage and receive encouragement as well from this team. We can do this!

    Thanks,
    Let's be losers real soon!!!

    One of my boys names is Peyton so I get that a lot about a girls name. By the way though, its not a boys name so your safe! And I love the name boobie monster! That seriously had me laughing. Never heard that but its so true. Congrats on the new born! They are so much fun. Plus one is easy!



    Aww I love the name Payton :) I saw that as a boys name though, not a girls name :) She is a little Boobie monster.. I couldnt think of a better term... think the cookie monster with boobies lmao :D She most certainly is NOT easy :P But We are already talking about trying for a little boy (we thought for the whole pregnancy that she was a boy! had chosen the name Noah and everything... but out she popped!)

    Heyyyy Blue Team!!

    I'm Ola, and I noticed my age wasn't on here but I'll be 30 in Feb. I have a 9 month old son (my only) and he is my main reason for taking this weight loss thing to another level. I've lost 90+ throughout my journey, got pregnant and gained back about 40 so now I am wanting to make a life change and live healthier and become more active all the while losing a massive amount of weight. I am learning that I didn't put it on overnight, so its not coming off overnight nor are the eating habits and excercise habits going to change overnight. Just cause I have a day where I blow my calories is not reason to just give up on the whole thing, I'm getting back up and on the wagon.

    Oh and I am from Oklahoma City, OK

    Hi everyone! Here's a little about me ... I'm mom to Jon, 23, and David, almost 19. He's my New Year's Eve baby. I homeschooled both my boys all the way through and they are both in college now. I've worked for ten years as the office manager for our large regional homeschool organization and that keeps me busy at home. Love to be able to work in my pj's, if I feel like it.

    I'm married to Doug and we live in Nashville, Tn. I've struggled for a long time with my eating, and my highest weight was 300. I am now 40+ pounds from my goal weight and will never, I mean NEVER, allow myself to get that out of control again.

    I look forward to this challenge and getting to know you all better!! Thanks, Todd, for leading us!! :flowerforyou:

    RANDOM FACTS!!

    The Color Psychology of Blue

    Blue is described as a favorite color by many people and is the color most preferred by men.

    Blue calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly.

    Blue can also create feelings of sadness or aloofness.

    Blue is often used to decorate offices because research has shown that people are more productive in blue rooms.

    Blue is one of the most popular colors, but it is one of the least appetizing. Some weight loss plans even recommend eating your food off of a blue plate. Blue rarely occurs naturally in food aside from blueberries and some plums. Also, humans are geared to avoid foods that are poisonous and blue coloring in food is often a sign of spoilage or poison.

    Blue can also lower the pulse rate and body temperature.

    Consider how blue is used in language: blue moon, blue Monday, blue blood, the blues, and blue ribbon.

    Hey Blue Team-
    I'm Brooke, 33yrs. and live in Michigan. I started my journey to be a healthier me in Jan. of this year and have lost a total of 63lbs. so far but have been struggling with motivation lately and think this challenge will really help me get back into the swing of things! Challenges seem to work well for me because they help keep me accountable and help mix up the day in and day of my reg. excersise routines!!! Can't wait to get myself moving and get remotivated and committed!!!:wink:

    I do like the Biggest Bluser, but the key is to find a corresponding logo as well. Also, please think of some challenges that you would like to do. I would like to plan ahead.

    Sorry for being absent this past week, its been a little hectic for me. I plan to look at things this weekend and get organized. There is a ton of stuff for the captain, so this will keep me pretty busy.

    I haven't even double checked if everyone has joined our group. I'm slacking right now...sorry everyone.

    The 'wear a blue thing challenge' is ace! Maybe we should have us in blue for our profile pic? :-)

    What about The Blue Birds? There should be tons of pics online to find a logo to match that.
