in Motivation and Support
So over the 18 weeks we've been checking in with eachother our team has slowly dwindled down to just a handful of core members. We're a positive bunch and enjoy the accountability and encouragement we get from eachother. We've decided that at week 20 we'd take new members and see if we can't get a few more GREAT people to take this journey with. As of now, our first week with new members will start May 14. If you'd like to join us then, just send me your start weight and I'll put you on the roster and I'll post up the 'BB Team Week 1' thread on the 13th. I put together a weekly chart as well of everyone's weights/weight loss.

We'd love to see you out!

    :happy: Blue is my favorite color!! I don't have far to go, but my weight goals, body fat %, and inches lost matter to me. So I'd like to be on the team!

    Start weight...would that be the weight for the week of May 14, or do you want the weight where we started when we first joined MFP?

    When I started MFP, weight was 143; goal 130

    I definitely need some motivation and encouraging, so I'd love to join! I'm trying to get to my June 15th goal and it's been going slow for the last 2 months. I had the same question about what start weight as Christy, so I'll just send you it all. My start weight was 193, current weight is 170, and my June 15th goal is 160 (155 would be awesome though!!:wink: ).

    Weigh-ins are Wednesdays. Some people prefer to send me their weights on Tuesdays which is fine, but I report out Wednesday evenings. :flowerforyou:

    Well original these teams were started along with the most recent season of Biggest Loser and the Blue, Black and Purple (i think Green and Red too at one point) were just having some friendly competition. Lately, the teams have all kind of lost steam, but we enjoy the all the things we get from our team members, like accountability, inspiration, advice, and occasional kick in the butt when we need it.

    For the Blue team-We've dwindled down to a core group of "friends" we all have the same goals - we all want to be healthy. We share our successes and failures with each other. We encourage each other. We weigh in once a week - once in a while we've thrown out some challenges to each other - it's a group to be accountable to and get support from.

    :blushing: :bigsmile: Now I'm feeling all smurfy and blue inside - :heart: :laugh:
