      Wow... 3 weeks to go! Ack! I better get my butt in gear... I have stalled this month! Then a gain :(
      Thanks again Vic for the great chart!

      I am fine with whatever name it is, as long as there is another long challenge like this one! :)

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

      I'm a fan! I'd like to think I'm a Committed Loser :)

      Lovely chart!

      How about the name "Slim N Trim"?
      err I dunno :P

      ~~~
      just looking at the chart.... I can't believe I'm 5.8lbs away from my goal weight!! I wonder if I can do it in 3 weeks? I think I can!! :)

      Congrats to all of you! I was on a roll with this challenge, had lost 8 lbs then off to Disney 2 weeks ago and can't get back into the swing of things. I am exercising like crazy but struggling with my food choices and honesty on my diary. I need to get back the motivation I had before I left and want to rejoin the group this week. This is my way of making a comittment to myself to finish this.

      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:

      Thanks Vic again for all of your hard work, you are an inspiration.

      How about this for the group name: Team Thinner

      I'd love to do another challenge with you all. It has been fun and motivating. But (hopefully) I will be a few pounds away from my goal weight by the end of this challenge! So I guess I won't be apart of the next one, unless you want to include an maintainer :-)

      I like the idea of honoring our fearless leader in the team name.

      The other suggestions are all great, but I would vote for something that has some sort of signifigance to this group... and since Vic pulled it all together...

      some ideas....

      Vic's Losers
      Drinking the Vic Kool-Aid
      The Newsors (combo of "New" and "Losers")
      The Meat Heads (in honor of new "Meat")
      Team MEAT

      CW: 166

      I would love to join you again on another challenge! This challenge got me over my hump!

      How about The Fatburners as a name? I do like Committed Losers as a name too. It sounds like all of us!

      I'm not loosing as fast anymore, but I think that is a good thing. The last three weeks I feel like I am gaining muscle (training for a half marathon this October). At the very least, my legs are toning up and that is great! Besides, about a pound a week is healthy right?

      3/17: 312.7

      3/31: 308.6

      I also like the idea of staying together for another 12 weeks. While I have not been as successful as I thought I would be as NewMeat pointed out - I lost something. Thanks for all you do to keep up together.

      Lost one pound this week. :smile: Kept my chart posted over my computer every day - went home and did wii Zumba everynight that I could fit it in = 4 nights. My knees are killing me. :cry: This week I'll try to add in at least one more night.

      Starting Challenge Weight: 174.6 (Effective March 14, 2011)
      Ultimate Goal Weight: 150 (However Long It Takes)

      3/17: 174.6

      Down to 136.0 this morning. I've decided to revise my final goal. As much as I'd like to be at 127-130 by the end of the challenge, I don't think that that is realistic. So I've adjusted my goal to 133-134. I think that in the time that is left I can lose 2 lbs. (I hope!) For our next challeng however, my goal will be 120-125. :)

      Starting Weight: 144 lbs (as of 3/13/11)
      Goal Weight: 127 lbs (by 6/9/11)

      3/13: 144.0
      3/17: 143.0
      3/24: 144.4
      3/31: 143.4
      4/7: 142.4 (hallelujah! I was at 144.6 on Monday)
      4/14: 141.2
      4/21: 140.6 <<<REVISED mini goal 140.4 lbs>>>
      4/28: 138.8 (Yay!!)
      5/5: 139.6 (I had 3 days of abnormal eating this week, so I guess gaining less than 1 lb isn't too bad.)
      5/12: 137.4!!! <<<Revised mini goal 137 lbs>>>
      5/19: 136.0 !
      5/26: <<<new mini goal 134-136 by 5/28>>>

      6/9: <<<challenge goal 127-130 lbs, REVISED Challenge goal 133-134 lbs >>>

      You are always welcome back girl! We'll be doing another 12 week challenge after this. :)

      Maintainers are always welcome! It just goes to show that the journey isn't over when we meet our goals, we still have to work to hold onto them. :)

      You are so sweet! (And funny!)

      Here we go...."Losin' the Meat!" :laugh:

      And other meat inspired favorites...

      Lean Cut
      Trimming the fat!
      Blue Plate Specials
      :laugh: I could go on all day. :tongue:

      Just thought of another..."Meaty No More" (It is a shame that I find myself so funny.)
