Question for the Group:

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on adding new people. Do you think that the end of today should be the cut off for new people or are you okay with people joining after the first week? I personnally don't mind if people join through out the challenge but I will go with the majority of what you all think.

overit

I think it should stay open. It will be the total percentage anyway at the end right? We'll just have a head start (lol)

katie980

I agree--as long as it isn't too overwhelming for you to track everyone's info, let other people join in. new people will probably add momentum/motivation.

neenaof4

I think it should stay open also. Not everybody gets on the website everyday and some may have missed this!!

Doreenpao

Maybe have a cutoff date of 1/15 or something... then they can join our group when we start again... it could get overwhelming for you.

bzcjak

Im thinking a cutoff. Just because it will be easier for you. Also, its hard enough to keep up with everyone that has joined already..... just my opinion

taz721

I would like to join officially.
As of this afternoon (before dinner) SW 149.2

jessica_benson

Did you see that there is already a black team on here for the biggest loser? Well I am part of that but can I be part of this too? Do you have a team name and if so what is it? My name is Jessica, and I can use all the help I can get!

jessica_benson

By the way my starting weight is 212. Like I said I really need all the help that I can get! Thanks and good luck to everyone

csnealey

HEY EVERYBODY. JUST CHECKING IN TO SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING. HAVE A GREAT WEEK.:flowerforyou:

SunshineLady

Hi Jessica. How can I help?

SunshineLady

Sounds about right to me!

SunshineLady

I watched my first show last night via the computer. It was the finale from last year! OMG. it's amazing!

SunshineLady

Good Job!! Remember it's just a number and a starting place. That number is going to put a smile on your face once you accomplish your goal.

I did not see that. We don't really have a team name just The Biggest Loser Challenge.


WELCOME to everyone who joined.

cc_campbell81

I didn't see starting weights for the people listed below. If I missed your weight I apologize. If you didn't post it yet please add it so I can put it with the others. Thanks.

(i keep getitng this thread mixed up with the *other* BL challenge- so I have to make sure and search for the one that C started- ) ANways...

I need help with exercise. I need some serious motivation. I started this week proclaiming that my challenge was to not go over my calories and make healthy food choices and to exercise for 30 minutes everyday.

Today is now Thursday (that was last Saturday I said all that).. and I've done great on calories and making healthier food choices
but I haven't exercised one single day. THis is how unmotivated I am. Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday- I went so far as to put on my "workout clothes"- but I got distracted with the kids (I have a 9 year old whos in school during the day and then a 3 and 1 year old who are home during the day with me) and one thing led to another and I never did it. (Part of it is that I am so self conscious- I refuse to exercise when my husband gets home- i cant do it in front of anyone or know that they could walk in and see me) =( I know this will get better and I just have to do it---

Why am I so "scared" to exercise?


On a much more positive note- I am so excited for out first weigh-in on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it would be great if we all could take a Full Body "Before" picture and then at the end we can all take an after picture- from this competition and have them to share with everyone- I think that would be great and a huge motivation for others

pamh5555

I am sorry but I missed what day we are supposed to check in with our weight?

I weigh myself everyday because I need the motivation of seeing those little pounds/ounces that come off each day. I weigh myself naked after a potty break first thing in the morning and then weigh myself again on the wii fit.

I love seeing those ounces come off. i started Dec 1 at 215 and now weigh 206.5. My mini goal for this month is to weigh less than 200 lbs on feb 1.

MOTHERGOOSE21

SURE! WHY NOT! 226.8

Sorry about the mix up from the other challenge. I didn't see it when I started this one.
As far as workouts maybe you could try picking up some workout DVD's from Walmart or somewhere. My one year old enjoys watching me do 30 day shred. She finds it amusing and somtimes tries to copy me. Maybe you could involve the 1 & 3 year old by getting a couple of 1 lbs weights for them to play with while you do it. Or take them to the park and play or for walks. Every little bit of exercise helps.

There is another challenge on MFP that challenges everyone to do some sort of exercise each day and you get a point for every week you do. It has motivated me to work out on days I didn't feel like it. It's called My 2010 challenge : 52 times 7/7.

The goal is to weigh in on Tuesdays. I've asked to everyone to try to post their weights by Wed evening. So if you wanted to do it on Wed that would be ok. The important thing is to do it the same day each week. So is 206.5 your starting weight?
