    UPDATE:
    I wish I could update the initial post on here but I can't. So just remember to have that Saturday goal! And to report that goal to your captain! Just remember, you'll get points if you reach or exceed your Saturday goal.

    Can I mention I am jealous of you short people with your weight goals...LOL... I am 5'0, I never added that.... my goal is 125, Im sure I could get down lower with a lot of discipline, but 125 seems do able... I envy your ambition and motivation to be 110, I havent been 110 since before my first child was born!!!

    Good luck everyone...!

    I haven't been 110 since before my first child either, the only reason I am aiming for 110 is because it is in the middle of the bmi range for 4' 11''... but 125 is a great weight for a shorter woman too! I've been questioning my goal weight, wondering if it is a little over ambitious, i don't want to let myself down, i've been considering bumping it up to 119, which is the highest end of the bmi scale for my height

    Ok, so I'm ready to post my stats, LOL! This is perfect, because the 7 weeks will be ending right when we go on vacation to see our family back home. I had a goal in my head that I wanted to lose about 15 lbs or so by then so when I saw this challenge I was really excited! Team West/CA 2 all the way!!! I haven't seen a separate post for us yet and I'm not exactly sure what is going on but I'll send it to my captain! :)

    Starting Weight: 206.8
    Saturday Goal: 204.4 (that's a 2.4 lb loss)
    7 Week Goal: 190

    Ooh almost forgot about this!
    Sw: 149ish (not sure exactly as Ive been moving and I didnt have the chance to weigh myself today)
    Goal for Sat: somewhere between 147-148
    Goal for challenge: 139

    I would prefer Friday weigh-ins (then we could post our goal for the following week the same day?) but Saturday works I suppose.

    I don't eat chocolate so yay me! :D

    Goooo Team South!

    Team West/CA 2: This is my first challenge so I'm kinda out of the loop. Did I already miss a weigh-in? Has anyone been in contact with our captain?

    --Where should I post goals and weigh-ins, and by what time and day? Do we have a private team message board?

    --Chocolate challenge: How do we track the chocolate we eat (or not eat)? Do we tell our captain? Or put it up on the board?


    My start weight, today: 184.1.
    Goal by saturday: 182 (-2.1 lbs).
    7-week goal: 169. (-15 lbs)

    GOOD LUCK to everyone. Chocolate is not my weakness - I'll have a much harder time resisting UK biscuits (cookies). I have made my diary viewable to friends, add me so you can watch trying to set a good example with healthy, calorie counted, balanced meals and snacks and be honest about ALL my food intake. GO TEAM EUROPE/UK

    go, Team West #2! I ran for 3.5 miles last night, it took me about 40 minutes. I am going to the body-pump class, it's weights. I haven't done it for a long time though, so I am scared.
    I hate that weigh in is Saturday! I weigh in on Fridays and Mondays but Fridays are usually better. I usually splurge on Friday nights, and Saturday nights...

    You didn't miss a weigh-in. This is just posting starting weights, goal weights, and this Saturday's goal weight. We will post weigh-ins on Saturdays but if you weigh-in on a Friday just post that info on Saturday.

    The chocolate challenge- keep track of you chocolate intake (which includes chocolate bars, straight chocolate, brownies, hot chocolate, or anything that is pure chocolate or has actual chocolate pieces in it (i.e. chocolate chip ice cream). The stuff that doesn't count is any kind of nutrition bar or shake. If it's something that is specifically designed to help you lose weight (i.e. slim fast meal bars & shakes, shakeology chocolate flavored, etc.) then it's fine. Also, fiber one bars are ok and different snack bars as long as they're not completely covered in chocolate and are mostly made of something else.

    The way we track the chocolate challenge is how many servings of chocolate you've had. For instance if you ate 3 Ghiradelli squares you would look on the box and calculate the servings. In this example 3 squares would count as a serving according to the box. So it's not that chocolate isn't allowed, but the fewer chocolate items you eat, the closer you are to the points.

    vintagedream is right! Chocolate slim-fasts are fine. I even had a rich chocolate royale yesterday for breakfast :)

    If you weigh-in on Fridays, you can post your Friday number on Saturday since it's the next day :)
