    Hello Nikki and Tessa, What are you doing now to achieve your goals? You wouldn't believe this but I won biggest loser 2 years in a row. 2011 3rd place and 2012 2nd place . . . . guess what I gained it back again in 2013 :(

    Now I am working with a personal trainer that i meet once a week and I walk the tracks 3 times a week (T, TH and Sunday). My personal trainer gives me homework that I need to do 3 times when I do not see her (Monday and Friday).

    It is a daily struggle for me but I am willing to give it a try as long as I need to do so!! Try and try until you succeed!

    So getting lesson from last challenge to keep us motiated we have begun our 20 week challenge(counting this 0 week).

    And i still need your captain ;)

    For many of us, this is a clean slate of getting back on track! For the WEEK O challenge, I thought we might take it BACK TO BASICS! Let's take this week to focus on drinking water and cooking ! I know that this is not the easiest thing for all of us to do .

    Does anyone want to be a captain? I'm really strapped with time so not sure I can do it.

    Hello White Team.....

    My Name is Melissa. I am a 25 year old mother of 2. I have been slowly losing weight since March of 2012 and have got about 53-54 lb off... I currently/try to work out 5 -6 days a week, working cardio (30 min treadmill sessions) and weights... I normally do Zumba on Saturdays.... My goal is to get down to "1"derland by the end of September.... That puts me at around 50lb to lose, which is a lot... but I think if I just keep my head on straight I can do it or get pretty darn close..

    I look forward to working with each and everysingle one of you guys..

    i was working out daily but since my dad got sick (we would go to gym together and i dont drive) it is hard.I do at least 3 times a week though. I also walk outside with him. Ido zumba once a week also kickboxing i do the eliptical for an hr or an hr and a half andi do weights i try andkeep active everyday i also run sometimes but the weather has been pretty bad and im limited on that, sometimes i do dvds but i do weights too when i go to gym. i mostly focus on my diet andstick to my caloriesi avoid salt bread most milk products and processed crap but sometimes i get my sweet cravingsand just stick to my clean eating for the most part and do alot of home cooking ihavebeen WAY better at staying on track

    Hey everyone, I'm Felicia :) University student. I go to the gym, and to some different cardio and strength classes. Let's do this!! Can anyone explain to me how the whole Biggest Loser thing works? I've seen some episodes long ago of the TV biggest Loser, but not exactly sure how it works :)

    Melissa - I am on week 5 day 2 of the C25K program..it gets easier. Trust me! LOL

    Felicia - Ok I'm a huge BL fan. The premise of the show is that the contests weigh in once a week and the team that loses the weigh in has to eliminate a player. Later in the show they go individuals and then two people will fall below the yellow line and everyone votes to send one of them home. Also, during each week that have a challenge. The challenge is usually something physical but they also do cooking or quiz challenges. In addition, there are sometimes temptation challenges. Basically, the contestants are tempted to eat as many calories as possible to gain some sort of advantage in the game. Some members partake and some don't...it's their choice.

    Did I leave anything out guys?
