      I'm gonna stick around and maybe give a start weight but not post weekly weighins and not be "in charge" so to speak... I love being a leader but sometimes you have to learn how to let go of the reins and let someone else take over. I too don't know what I would do without you guys to push, support and challenge me....So I'm in if you'll have me as an occasional weigher and thread poster....

      I am in for the next challenge. this week's weight is 200.5...I know it is up but is better than it was last week.
      I might end this challenge higher than I started if I don't get back down. :sick:

      This is what I've come up with for our new challenge. I'll open up a new topic for it soon and post the link here. When the final weigh ins come in for 9/5, we'll use those for our start weights so that we can start this challenge on 9/5 also.

      This is just a teaser so I'll have it sized right for our challenge.

      Denise - You better believe we want you to stick around and join us on the next challenge, whenever and however you can. We've got you and you've got us! That's how we all move forward together on MFP. You're a great leader, Denise, but you're even a better teacher. Now you've passed the baton to Kristen and she'll continue your good work. Enjoy your day and take good care of yourself today. Thanks for all the work you did for us with all of the challenges you hosted. You really made a difference in my life, thank you! :flowerforyou:

      Darn!! I didn't know you guys were doing another challenge.
      I just joined Lose 5 lbs. in September. I also joined the
      Wappo Warriors for September. I think if you don't mind
      I will join yours since I know everyone here. i am going
      to quit the Lose 5 lbs in September since they haven't
      started yet.

      Please add me for the Hubba Bubba Challenge :bigsmile:

      I posted my weight, but it was on the old link....no wonder I couldn't find it today!!!

      I'm at 166.4, which I'm not too happy about. So, at this point, I'd be thrilled if I was the same weight I was at the beginning of summer....161.8.

      Not sure I want to do the next challenge, as I HATE Monday weigh in's. I feel the weekend throws off my numbers and mid-week is a better reflection of where I'm at (after enjoying my weekend, ya know?). I'd consider it if weigh in was later in the week.

      I don't care which day you use as your weigh in. :-) Just make it the same every week and then get me your numbers before noon on Mondays. We'd love to have you with us.

      Hopefully, that came out right. I was just trying to convey that I'm real easy with whatever you'd like to do with your weigh in. :-)

      Thanks Denise for all your hard work with this Challenge.
      Thanks Green Team for sticking it out with me.
      Only one week left. We can finish this don't quit now.
      I will be joining the Hubba Hubba Challenge for next month
      and kick some *kitten* in my weight journey until Christmas.

      Just think ladies, if we kick this weight until Christmas
      we can really enjoy that day of goodies without any guilt.
      LET'S DO THIS!!

      I second everything you said (except putting Red Team
      instead :wink: ) and I'm planning on kicking it enough to
      enjoy the food on Thanksgiving also! And stealing just
      a few pieces of Halloween candy... :-) Let's DO IT!!

      I'm going to shatter my Team Teal but the scale said this morning 143.6 Its TOM for me. Hopefully it will be gone by Monday. Gotta keep it real though.

      i'm holding off on updating anyone's weights until monday....i know some of you weigh friday, saturday, sunday but if you post now and i update now then you post a better weight monday i'll have to change it....dont worry about posting more than once for the FINAL weighin...i dont mind...just know i'm taking the last thing you post as your FINAL weight.....good luck everyone this weekend and do your best....i'm looking forward to ending this challenge and starting fresh as this has NOT been my best one and i have had quite a few...i actually think i have been doing challenges with some of you since last summer when we did the labor day one with trace....anyway, have a good weekend...

      Denise, we'll finish this one up for you right...we're in this to make it to 100 lbs! Let's Give It Our All!

      P.S...sure glad I'm not posting my final weight today! I'm up 2 lbs! I swear I'm never having Chinese food again. I haven't had my weekly Chinese food fix since I started this challenge and I swear it's made all the difference! Went to a party and fell off the wagon. Chinese food's got mega amounts of sodium...just not worth it to me. Maybe when I'm 10 lbs within my goal, I'll try it again. I'm determined to stay away from it till the end of the upcoming HHH challenge!
