    I made a list of big numbers on posterboard with black ink. The top number is my goal weight. The bottom number is todays weight. As I lose, I will cross off each pound with red ink.

    I like this too...I had a list with my current weight and all my milestones down to my goal weight, with target dates. I finally threw it away because I was getting depressed when I didn't hit my target. I replaced it with a list (ok, I like to make lists:-) ) of races, bike tours, etc... I have entered or plan to enter for 2011/2012. Once the race is complete I put my time....it's more motivating to see how my time improves over the last race.

    I like Victorious Violet's too!

    O.K., I'm also going to forego getting that last quart of lite egg nog. On Mike and Molly the other night, her Mom's boyfriend said "If there's no booze in it, it's just like drinking pancake batter!"

    And somehow, I just can't justify drinking pancake batter!

    Hey guys,

    It'll be easier for us to clearly find out what you guys want the team names to be if we did it as an organized poll.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEtDcFVicl8xbFhXYlQyS21lLVd4S2c6MQ

    Follow that link to the poll and pick which name you like best! I'll let you all know what was picked, soon.


    Note: Just in case anyone doesn't know how to copy and paste, highlight the link, right click, select copy, open a new window, right click in the URL space and select paste.

    I just can't find the way to make this work. I feel stupid admitting it, but I can't get there. With copy and paste, it always tells me "could not find".

    I hope I'm not missing too much, as I'm not able to view the spreadsheets either. I'll try doing more research later.

    Works for me. Are you at work? If so, maybe try when you get home.

    Just to let everyone know, Twirlytati has volunteered to be my co-captain of our team. Thank you Twirly!! So in case I am away or can't do one week she will take my place. If this happens I will let everyone know in advance.

    I've already sent a PM to Strength for her issue, but if anyone else has an issue with viewing the form or filling it out, just send me a message and I'll take care of it for you.

    I did it! I did it! (Installing Google chrome had everything to do with it.)
    Thanks for helping!

    Just so I am clear...what do we need to do before January 1st to make sure we are all on the same page..... Such as if any additional information is needed, if we are supposed to post before pictures....or how we are supposed to work the challenges?

    I am excited to find out what the team name is going to be....but either way, I definitely think we will rock this and be VICTORIOUS! :)

    You just need to send me your current weight on Dec. 30th or 31st. I will be posting a blog either tonight or this weekend to introduce our team name also including our first challenge. You can take a before picture, I know I will be. I can post pictures on the blog each month of people's transformations.

    I am excited about our team and we are going to rock this challenge!!

    ...if we are supposed to post before pictures

    That is an amazing idea! I hadn't thought about doing that. Ms. Captain, you should include that idea in your first blog post. How awesome would it be if we all (or at least some of us) had great before and after pictures?

    Also, question for everyone. Does anyone know if the weight that we give on Dec 30th is our official starting weight, or is it the weight that we gave CJ when we first signed up for the challenge?
