BL finale should be about 10 weeks away..maybe more (not sure on the exact date) I thought by watching the show, and keeping motivated we can lose 15 pounds (I lost about that when last season started through the finale) so I hope to lose at least another 15 bringing me down to 173 pounds by shows end. We can do it if you put your mind to it! :happy:

As of friday my SW is: 188.4
Goal to shows end- 173

Whos in?
«1345

    Sweet, I wanna join! I'm a little fuzzy on my exact numbers at the moment; my scale needs new batteries. :/ Lithium batteries, like a giant watch -- so my scale use has been a little sporadic lately, as I've had to borrow time at night.

    I started 2011 at around 150, and I'm at 148 as of last night. I'll shoot for 130 by the end of the season.

    PS - Suzanne, a Biggest Loser season is about 13 weeks.

    PPS - Kara, you can watch the show online too: http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/video/

    I'm very annoyed that they haven't showed the new trainers identities yet. There's already been 2 episodes and all they show are shadows.

    The unknown trainer..I think her name is cara according to wikipedia.

    @Sarina -- That surprised me too! And it's kinda weird that we're not seeing very much of that team.

    I posted my starting weight
    Then on tuesdays you do your weigh in and post it in the board i guess
    There will most likely be a biggest loser of the week and we can all discuss on what we like or disliked about that weeks show.

    Tomarrow night is biggest loser. I heard they are finally going to reveal the new trainers identities. Also, tomarrow is our weigh in. Don't forget to post your starting and current weight in the board. Walkinggirl, are you going to make a chart. If not, i can help you out

    My Weigh in this week was
    Last week: 170.8
    This Week: 170.0
    Total Weight loss : .08

    Was very dissapointed but a loss is a win in my book. Plus it was my time of the month unfortunately ;(


    P.S. OMG OMG BIGGEST LOSER IS COMING ON

    I would like to join you in this challenge if you'll have me.

    What a shocker the show was. Good to see that Dan was down to 215 at the end of the show, but a 9 lb gain....WOW!

    I wasn't sure when weigh ins were but i usually weigh in on fridays so here it is!

    SW:205
    CW: 165.5 - 2.2 lbs this week
    GW:145


    I really don't think dan through the challenge! It is weird they both gained and it was the same amount! I was sorta confused! I hope they start showing more of the other team now that the other trainers have been revealed :)

    That was weird, But all in all that was a 9 pounds gain on week 3. On week 1 and 2, they didn't lose that much weight either. If it was 4 pounds weight gain, i would maybe agree with you. But a 9 pounds weight gain each is unheard of in biggest loser. That is alot of weight for anyone to gain in a week in the normal world. I think it was thrown because that one guy was really homesick and thats fine for him. He's doing good, didn't he lose 50 pounds after leaving the show. But it was just a real shame to watch because there were so many people who wanted the chance to get that kind of help on biggest loser and they chose somebody who really didn't want it, and thats the truth. I just really feel bad for all those people who stood in line for hours to tryout for the show and to get turned down and then watch on Biggest loser tuesday night that discusting and disapointing moment. But then again, i feel bad for all the amazing talent that stands in line for days to tryout for american idol and then they pick really horrible singers to play on the air. Reality TV is really nasty but biggest loser to me is the most real and personal.

    I know I'm a couple weeks late to join... but since i just signed up for mfp today, i figure today is a good day.

    I have a different story and I hope I won't get flamed or anything, but my original start weight was 305, I had weight loss surgery in nov 08, and now comes the every day challenges of getting rid of the last 20 some and keeping it off.

    I'm not a big exercise buff, but am hoping to get an eliptical machine with our tax return :)

    So my numbers for this challenge are:
    SW 183.5
    GW 168

    Oops! OK, so I have my scale back but didn't until Wednesday. My Wednesday weight was 145.6, down 2.4 from last week.

    PS -- Tigger, you're welcome here! I don't think anyone would flame you or mind that you joined after the show started. It's going to be like 13 episodes, so you've got plenty of time.

    PPS -- Suzanne, thanks for starting this thread! My goal for this challenge had been my goal for six months from now. Now I feel motivated to step it up and get moving sooner!

    I was more concerned about being flamed because I have had weight loss surgery... and it seems that so many people look down on it... it's not for everyone, but it was the right tool for me...
    anyways thanks for the welcome. i did really well today and am excited to see us be "losers"... :) and to have some friends on here is a plus too :)
