Ok, now that we have the team in order! Lets get started!

1.) Motivation and Support is key! So lets friend each other and cheer everyone, especially when we feel like giving up!

2.) Every Monday night, I will post a topic for weigh ins. I will close it on Wednsday mornings. If by chance you will not have time to weigh in, or other circumstances come up (vacations, emergencies ect.) Just send me a message. If I do not hear from you by Wednsday morning, you will automatically by deleted from the challenge.

3.) Every Tuesday I will also post a new weekly challenge for our group. I hope everyone participates or tries as much as possible.

HERE WE GO!

    3500 CALORIES BURNED = 1 lb. LOSS CHALLENGE! So lets see how many calories we can burn this week. Each day post your calories burned here, at the end of the week I will add it up. If you would like also add what workout you did to achieve the burn!

    A second part that I would like to add. Calculate your BMI. I will keep that and at the end of the 12 week challenge we can see if it has changed. (THIS IS NOT MANDATORY) But, I think it will help us.

    ****Side Note to our NEWBIES: We have been doing these challenges for a year now. Pam calculates all the percentages of weight loss for us each week and at the end of week twelve she calculates how much weight each person has lost. She is super dedicated to us. Thanks Pam!!!

    SO TEAM, HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK!! ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE ME!

    ****GO TEAM DOLVETT****

    I am so pumped about this. It will probably be a challenge to get all those calories in, since I'm a bit under the weather, but I am gonna try my hardest.

    Suggestion: I wonder if someone could create a spread sheet to track our weight as a goup, then we'll know for sure at the end how much we've loss. Sometimes it can be tedious going through all the threads. If you have one location to put it in on a weekly basis that would be awesome. I know it can get done by Google, but I am not sure how to do it. Maybe someone in our group knows. Either way, I'll create my personal tracker.

    BMI - 29.3

    This is the first time I will be doing a Challenge. I think it's a fantastic way to be motivated. Started walking for exercise.
    I have a question: Can I get calories burned from exercise log on MFP?

    Hi Little Lucy! Welcome! Yes you can get your calories burned from MFP. That is how I have been getting my numbers lately because my Polar watch broke.

    Good day everyone.
    I burned 175 calories with 30 minutes walking (strong incline for a third of it) and 5 minutes weight lifting (arms). That's pretty good for me. I hope to increase to a good 90 minute work out.

    BMI 40.1

    I haven't weighed myself for a good while. SHOCKED to see a number in the 240's. Never ever seen myself over 225. Ugh!

    Go get this team!

    Wednesday - January 9, 2013 - Burned 326 Calories - Brisk Walking

    I am new to exercising and counting calories. Therefore, it is baby steps for me. I will work hard to catch up to my Biggest Loser team with the over 1,000 calories burned daily...... I am learning to track my calories burned on my Sportline Solo 925W Women's Heart Rate Monitor + Pedometer Watch. Keyword is learning.

    I've been doing this for over a year now. It does take time. Work at your pace but don't be afraid to come out of your comfort zone.

    Tuesday: FitBit total was 371 burned
    Wednesday: FitBit total was 624 burned
    : ) These challenges are great motivators! I like the idea of a new goal every week to keep it from getting old and losing interest.
