Welcome to week 3 everyone! New people are still welcome. Here are the rules/guidelines of the challenge.

Biggest Loser Challenge "Rules"
-everyone weighs in each week on the same day
-Please try to post your weight by Wednesday, this makes it easier for me

Just like on the show
-each week the person with the highest percentage of weight loss since the last week will be our weekly Biggest Loser
-at the finale the person who has the highest percentage of weight loss since their starting weight will be Biggest Loser

We do small challenges every week too which will be posted here.

Good luck everyone!

    Congratulations to SunshineLady for being last week's Biggest Loser.

    6.5lbs lost for a total of 3.84% lost. Way to go!

    Last week's challenge ends tomorrow. Please post your challenge info with you weight.

    For example:

    Lost # lbs.
    Drank water #/7 days
    Did cardio #/7 days

    Any suggestions for this week's challenge?

    How about a point for each day you don't go over your calories?

    I cannot wait to see what I weigh tomorrow. was under calories, exercised twice today, drank all my water. I plateau very easily so I am hoping that i lost something. Have been the same weight for almost a week now.

    Sounds great. I have the opposite problem so I will focus on getting all of my cals in. If I do, I can get a point. Is that OK? I am having a problem with a slight panic over eating all of my calories. I am forcing myself to do it because I do not want to go into starvation mode.

    I am very pleased with this week although I still need to get off my butt and do some exercise. What has amazed me is the amount of weight I have lost simply by watching my calories. My initial weigh-in was 290 with my first week's weight at 287.4. As of this morning, I weighed in at 280.2 which is a 7.2 lb loss. I did well on 6 of the 7 days for water and only got in 1 day of cardio. As for the this week's challenge, I am all for staying not going over your daily calories.

    Good luck to all!!

    Lost 7.2 lbs.
    Drank water 6 days
    Did cardio 1 days

    Good morning everyone and CC great job once again on all of this. I look forward to my Tuesday weigh in now. I am so excited today. I weighed in today and was 228.4 which is 4 lbs. down from last week. For the first time I really believe this is my last time and it feels so good. The one thing I swear by is journaling everything you eat. I am doing points at WW so I have no choice. It really makes you aware. I moved a lot more this week and I think that is why I had such a good week. Keep going everyone . . .We can do it. Power in numbers!

    172.0 this morning. my body just didn't want to shed any weight this week, even though i was right on target w/diet and exercise. i guess there's next week!!! =)

    i worked out 6 of the 7 days this week
    i probably only got my water in 3 days (which is prolly why my weight went nowhere...)

    That's fine. I just try to remember that if I don't eat my calories my body will store fat!

    I'm real nervous about weigh in tonight. When I weighed myself this morning I was only down .4 pounds which means this evening at my normal weigh in time...I'll be above what I weighed last week ;( I guess that's what I get for celebrating my boyfriends new job and not being able to control my snacking and drinking this weekend ;) I did however get all of my water challenges met and only missed one day of Cardio ;)

    Back on the wagon today and doing well! I'll post my points and my weigh-in tonight when I get home :)

    I am stayin' steady this week.

    Weight lost this week: 0
    Water: 7/7 days
    Cardio: 7/7 days

    I'm making some small changes and looking to eliminate or at least reduce my morning coffee ritual. I will also focus on those calories and work to earn all those challenge points this week. Small changes day by day = big results long term.

    I will let you decide if you count it as cardio:> I think the original challenge was 15 minutes of cardio.
