Keep up the great work everybody! You all continue to do an amazing job!! Now here are the results…

Since we only have 3 weeks left (YIKES!) I’ve decided to do something a little different. I know sometimes it is easy not to see the forest for all of the trees so today I’m going to show you exactly how much you have lost in these past 9 weeks!
Give yourselves a pat on the back…EVERYONE has lost weight. Some have fallen off the wagon but have made their way back others have been dropping weight like nothing. No matter where you are in your journey it is important to acknowledge the accomplishments that you have made, recognize the mistakes, reflect on what you have done, and adjust as needed.

    Awesome ! It does make a difference seeing my name under a title called at least 5lbs : ) I'm proud of myself and these last few weeks I intend to make it to at least 10 !

    This Week's Challenge: Come up with a "team" name. :wink:

    Many of you may have noticed that other groups have "team" names and basically the same people stick together and do challenges together. I've seen groups like "Fishnets and Pantyhose", "Vixens & Foxes", "T.H.E. Team", "Black Team" , "Ed's Girls", etc.


    I feel like we've formed such a good group, I'd love to stick together with you and give our little group a name. So many of you have said that you want to do another 12 week challenge with me. When we wrap up this challenge we'll immediately start another 12 week challenge (with mini-goals at 3, 6, and 9 weeks).

    Then our next challenge could be...."(Insert Group Name Here)'s Slim in Summer Challenge"

    Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to come up with a team name for our group. It can be funny, serious, motivational, or just a fun play on words (like my screen name..."new meat" :laugh: aka 'new me at 30'). I'll compile a list of suggested names and we can vote next week on the one we like the most.:happy:

    Starting another 12 weeks sounds awesome! I'm not creative enough to come up with a cool team name, but I'll give it some thought! Thanks for all you do!

    As far as a name..... The Losers? (as in pounds of course)

    I'm not good with names either so I will just stick to voting. Are we on teams based on the sections, "5 ibs, 10 ibs, etc?

    We're not on teams against each other...just looking for a name for our group aa whole so that when we do our next challenge we can easily identify ourselves. :bigsmile:

    I will definitely do another 12-week challenge with you guys. This has been the best motivator for me. I can't thank you enough Newmeat30 for the awesome charts! I'm only slightly disappointed that I was just 1 pound away from getting into the at least 15 pounds group.

    I'll think of a good team name. I like the New Meez (or Me's)

    Awesome job with this challenge, Newmeat. You have gone above and beyond in keeping us on track. Will you please adjust my goal weight to 130? I have adjusted my final weight loss to this number. Thank you!

    Suggestion for a team name - "Losing it for Life"

    Good luck to all this week as we countdown to the finale!!!

    Thanks newmeat for the chart and your time I think it is great idea to commend members based on their weight loss like you did this time. I am going to work hard to see my name in atleast 5 lbs group. Btw group name suggestion "commited losers".:smile:

    Oh no Bella! For some reason I didn't have your weight for the 12th so a correct amount of weight loss didn't show up. so sorry! You'll be on the next one for sure. (probably as a 10er)

    I like "Committed Losers" Sanya. We're committed, were losing weight, and we might be a little crazy too. :tongue:

    I would love to do another 12 week challenge. I came late to this one, but it is really helping me get on track. I had been gaining weight on a weekly basis and now not only I have been maintaining but I have actually lost 3 pounds despite my crazy busy stressful life.

    um team names?

    Lovely Losers?
