Hey! My name is Brittany and I am from Starkville, MS! We are also doing a biggest loser challenge at work! So, I figure if I have two places to be accountable, than I will be more likely to lose the weight! I am currently 188 lbs. I love mexican and sushi! I want to be down to 150 lbs! by April! Good luck to every one!
Week 1- 1880 -
I would LOVE to join!!!
My name is Nicole, my current weight is 233 and I actually don't enjoy exercising unless I am playing a sport. (I have a hard time running/walking for "no" purpose) I recently got a chocolate lab puppy, so I am hoping he will assist me with my exercising. :-) I definetly think being held accountable is going to help me loose weight! I am getting married June 26th of this year and would love to loose as much weight as I possibly can!! Good Luck everyone!0 -
Hi! I'd love to join. I need someone to hold me accountable!!
My name is Sherry...I'm at about 212, which is the heaviest I've ever been. I'm so happy it's a new year! I just got back from LA and I was so tired of saying, "Aw, that <insert super hot piece of clothing here> is cute, I can't wait to lose weight so I can wear something like that." I'm SO ready for this!0 -
Oh I was going to ask... are we going to have a specific day/time to log on to weigh in? I am just curious! :-)0

Hi, my name is Tabitha but I go by Tab. I'm currently 251 and I can relate to many of you when you say that you don't like exercising! But this is a new year and I'm working on a new, more positive me!! I think that having a group for support and motivation is going to be great! As for my favorite food, I guess I would have to say Mexican! I wish all of you good luck in your weightloss journey!0 -

Hello - hope I'm not too late. My name is Kristy and my current weight is 209lbs. I live in the Bay Area, California. My favoriate food is..pasta and bread and soda. I can't eat it too much anymore...I got lab band surgery in October and including the presurgery weight I had to lose I am down 50lbs..so my goal is to keep up the motivation and dedication.

I would love to join! I love The Biggest Loser and can't wait for the new season to start. I'm 36, a mom of 3, I work full time and also go to school. I really need the motivation so I'm excited about this challenge. I pretty much love all food, but my weakness is chocolate. My current weight is 187 pounds and my goal is 150 by summertime.0

Hello! I am Theresa and I am at 160. I've been on this site on and off for quite a while, but this is my first post and my first active participation with a group! I am looking forward to this! My main exercise is walking home from work, but I want to see what I am capable of if I really put my mind to it. I still want to be happy and have fun doing it. Lifestyle, right? My favorite food is pasta, but thankfully my husband doesn't care for it, so that keeps me in check! Thanks!0

Hi, everyone, I'm Heather, 232 lbs, I am really excited about joining this challenge. I look forward to the motivation that I think a group will be able to give me & some friendly competition. I wish everyone the best of luck.0

Hi everyone I'm Kelly . Happy New Year ! Northwestern Ontario Canada here, 200 pounds today, First day back at Myfitnesspal. Can't wait for Biggest Loser to start tomorrow night. I love to walk , but if you read the first line, you'll see why:flowerforyou: I use the treadmill mostly.
-35 C has been our average temp this winter. YUCK why do I live here?
I think this group will be very motivating.
Good luck and here's to losing !0 -
Hey I'm Megan... from Melbourne, Australia I'm looking forward to getting some extra motivation. The only reason I want to loose weight is for myself, and sometimes when there's too much going on, or life is getting me down, I forget about why I'm doing this. I'm sick of people telling me that I don't need to loose weight... because it's not so much about that as it is feeling good about myself. Which I rarely ever do.
Anyway... my favourite food?! Mrs. Fields choc chip cookies... they are heaven
I actually love going to the gym. I love being challenged. So this will be fantastic for me I think! And hopefully I'll make some long distance friends along the way! :happy:
My starting weight, well yesterday it was 65kg, but today it's 67kg :ohwell: I hope that it's just because I'm feeling unwell today, and not a sign of things to come! My goal is to get to around 55kg. I'm not setting a time limit, although next summer would be ideal!
I'll leave it there for now :flowerforyou: good luck everyone!
P.S. Kelly, -35 degrees sounds wonderful, we're hitting around 40 degrees here... it's unbearable!!! Although I've never been somewhere that cold!!!0 -
My name is Crystal. I just recently found MFP, and I love it!!!
My husband and I are trying to work up to running a marathon by the end of the year. I have never been much of a runner, but have recently really started loving it, and the way I feel after I have accomplished a good run.
My goal is to lose 15 lbs by March.

Rheign here. My current weight is 183; I hope to drop another 40-54lbs. I LOVE biking and fortunately I live in a climate that permits me to ride all year long. WOOT!0

I'm a MFP newbie, so am kinda lost .... What is the challenge? To lose the most pounds? Most % of your weight? Is it tied it to "Biggest Loser Challenge" TV show (which I don't usually watch)?
Help, please, with more details. I'm all for a thread which helps with accountability!
Thanks, DeeDee
[PS, I have regained 12 of my hard to lose pounds, and want to lose an additional 5 pounds, for a total of 17 pounds. I just started on Friday Jan.1 at 137 pounds]0 -
Megan- 40 C NOT FAIR. I think I need to visit Austrlia. Its warmed up to -26 today, so why am I complaining. I am planning a warm trip this winter, but probably not until April.
May we all be Biggest Losers and get to our goals !0 -
Dee Dee... it is not necessarily a challenge of who looses the most weight, it is more for support and holding ourselves accountable by posting weight loss/gain/maint etc. Hope this helps...0

WOW! EVERYONE!! great response!
Rules for the newbies: weigh-ins are anytime on Mondays. Every Monday. You will say how much of a percentage of your body weight you lost that week, and the challenge is until February 1st.
For example: say it was next monday and I lost 3 pounds.. I am at 164 so I would have lost .01829% of my body weight for that week. The next week you will still base your percentage on your base weight, which is what you started at this week.
I will post the runnings next Tuesday to let everyone know who is winning & not, etc.
Thanks again everyone!! and good luck!
