Loserville - New Year, New Challenge!

So my lovely losers, it's a new year and time to build on everything we've achieved last year, even if we may have lost our way a bit!
Our weigh day is going to be FRIDAY, but I won't post results till MONDAY EVENING, to give those a chance who might prefer a Monday weigh-in time to post their weight.
This challenge will run for 12 weeks until the 30TH MARCH 2012 and we'll be doing a different challenge each week, all of the things we're used to, 1,2,3,4 challenge, 3500 burn, LOSER sharing.
I am sure Rachypompa will give us some exercise challenges again as well! The lovely FizzingWhizzbee will be providing a graphic for the biggest loser each week as well. (on percentage, not actual lbs lost)
As we've lost a few members along the way, we are going to open up this challenge to new members. We are a lovely bunch of ladies who like to check in and post about our days and offer support in that way as well. We don't want a huge uncontrollable group so we may have to stop accepting people if it gets too big.
As ever, I need your starting weight and your goal weight for the end of the 12 week period.
WOO HOO, back on the wagon ladies!

I'm in and can I still be the self appointed mayor of Loserville. I promise to keep the roads clear of pot holes so your wagons can travel smoothly. If anyone hits a pothole let me know and I will help you out of it and get it filled in. However to do this costs so taxes will be high. All misdemeanors will incur a high fine (extra exercise). Residents of Loserville prepare yourselves for a grand year.0

My name is April and I just joined today! I would like to go for the challenge. I am hoping to lose 24 pounds in 12 weeks. However, I will make it 12 pounds as a more realistic goal.0

Just a couple of questions:
What's the 1,2,3,4 challenge?
I'm from Australia so I use kgs for weight, if I join do you want me to convert my numbers to lbs to make it easier for those in charge calculating percentage losses, making graphics, etc?0 -
can newbies join to?
my starting weight is 85 kg or 187 lbs
my goal weight in 12 weeks is 12 pounds which would be an end result of 175. i would like to goover that really but it is a realistic goal to have.
also what is the 1,2,3,4
thanks.

Welcome newbies. Since I am having a tough time sleeping I shall respond till poorcopies comes back on line. Welcome to my fellow Aussie. Yes I usually convert to pounds for the chart maker. The 1234 challenge I made up and we have fun with it. We all set our own goals that week using a 1234 basis. You may decide to try 1 new exercise, take 2 walks, get to bed early 3 nights and try 4 new recipes. We all come up with different things which often inspires someone else.0

Yay! Consider you all joined!
If you could post a starting weight tomorrow and your goal for the challenge if you haven't already, that would be grand
If you could post in lbs that would be easier but it won't be too hard to convert, so kgs is fine if it's easier for you, as Jen said, she's also in Aus.
The 1,2,3,4 challenge is fun as you get to set your own goals. 0 -

I'm still getting used to the groups and discussion boards on the website (I usually use the iPhone app) and now I'm confused...
Is this just a discussion thread or is it a group??
If it's a group can someone please invite me to join as I can't find it when I search for it in the groups tab and coz I can't find it I can't join. :blushing:
I'm assuming coz you have running challenges, graphs, etc, that you have a group formed to keep track of everybody 0 -
We just have a thread because we aren't a huge group, we don't need multi threads. Groups I find are more for huge groups of 40+ members. The maximum we've had in our little group is probably around 12 and that dropped off.0
