    Hi everyone!
    I am just starting out on my get healthy goal after a major health scare in 2014 then followed by having a baby this year! I am home alone with the baby so will be cramming in short bursts of exercise when he is napping.
    Really love being part of a team because at the moment it is easier to put other people first and I don’t want to let you guys down. Once I get into a routine though I know it will be for me. Let’s do this!

    Welcome to all the newbies. This is a great place to get inspired and share your ups and downs. I too am trying to say good bye to the 170's, @lar25473. I started at 178 a few rounds ago. Way to much weight for a 5'2" person. Problem, for me, is a heavy travel schedule for work. Eating out everyday has always been a challenge but I not giving up. December is going to be our month!

    Question do we keep the same group each round or get moved around to new groups?

    Hello Rhonda and Karen! Welcome back to all the others! Looking forward to the December challenge! @Honey5 yes, we keep the same groups. You can request a different one in between challenges if you choose though. I swear we only bite when provoked though! o:)

    Hi and welcome! @calistabrown You'll weigh in here and then I will add it to the team spreadsheet which anyone can view on the BL Homepage along with any of the teams. This challenge starts on Dec. 2nd and you will weigh in on your chosen day of week.

    The format for weigh in is:

    username
    Month/Week of challenge
    Previous Weight (or starting weight if new)
    Current Weight

    Hi @mram3582
    I chose Monday’s as my weigh in day which will be Dec 3rd. So do I weigh in then or is first weigh in the following Monday a week into it?

    Sorry for the silly question!

    I'm really excited about this. I've always loved the idea of the Biggest Loser competition, except for the stupid food-eating-related challenges! I want to be a helpful team player! I've maintained a 120lb weight loss after gastric bypass surgery almost 14 years ago, but my BMI indicates that I'm still obese at 188 ....SOOOOOOO after fiddling around for 6 months, I thought the BL would be a fresh incentive for me. Good luck to us all and let's do this!!

    Oh, and a question: I'm confused by the first weekly weigh-in day. I selected Mondays, but saw that our fearless team captain advised us to weigh in on Tuesday, December 3rd, rather than on Monday, the 2nd. Please clarify, mram3582?

    Hi everyone, this will be my first challenge, and I am looking forward :smile: ! I started using MFP a couple of months back to lose some thyroid-weight. Lost about 9lb so far, and am at 160 now (overweight for 5'3"). Starting to get lazy now, so I hope the challenge will keep me motivated! Although ambitious for my pace, I'd like to lose 5 pounds this month, so that I can finally be at 70 in the metric scale (which I usually use)

    Hi Everyone, My name is Gerrit and this will be my 3rd Biggest Loser challenge. I did well in October but had some slowdowns this past month. I seem to be back on track and should make my first 50 lbs loss sometime this month.
    I am adding this routine to my workout for December https://darebee.com/programs/30-days-of-change.html?showall=&start=1

    Hi. I’m Mary and a newbie. My weighday is Friday and I’m looking to lose about two and a half stone more (lost 12 pounds so far). I’m a keen cyclist so my weight loss is a bit more sedate as my muscle increases. I’d like to be lighter because it’s easier to get up hills !
