    Hi!
    I'm very excited to be a part of this challenge, especially being on the Violet team!
    I'm 48, female, divorced, no kids- but two big dogs.
    Today my weight is 165.0 and my goal is around about 130. I started on this journey at over 225 lbs.
    I think this challenge will be a wonderful motivator!
    I'm looking forward to reaching goal by the start of summer so I can invest in a nice bikini (got my eye on a Poko Pano :smokin: ) but I refuse to spend the money while I'm still losing. Can't wait to hit maintainence!
    I wish everyone the best for the challenge we are about to embark on! Let's hit our goals!
    Feel free to add me if you wish!
    (One more thing, I feel silly but I have no idea how to access the spreadsheet. Any pointers?)

    Hello everyone!! My name is Melanie and excited about being the captain of Team Violet!! You can add me as a friend and add everyone on our team to your FL as well so we can all encourage one another.

    Seems we have a group from all over the world, that is great!! I am in British Columbia, Canada just outside of Vancouver. I have been over weight my whole life, I have lost some of my weight then to put some of it back on :grumble: so this challenge is going to help me get the weight off.

    We need to come up with a team name. So if you have any suggestions, please post it here.

    Can't wait to start this challenge. Go Team Violet!!

    Hey Y'all!

    My name is Whitney and I'm 21. I live in NC, and I'm about to start my senior year at UNCW. My goal is to lose about 50-60 pounds this year so I can go out into the real world feeling confident in the way I look and feel. I'm excited to be on the violet team, and I'm ready to start kicking butt =]

    I like that name!!

    I was looking at the other team threads and some don't have their team colour in their name so I guess any name is good. I am going to have a few names to post tomorrow.

    Let's go VIOLET!

    My name is Tracy. I live in Tulsa, OK. I am a 37 year old mother of four amazing children ages 16, 13, 9 and 7.

    I work in the IT field as a Support Lead AND I teach bootcamp classes at a local YMCA. I am also studying to take my personal training certification in February..

    I am so pumped about this challenge! Let's get it done, Violet!

    Encouragement and accountability will be key!

    Look for a friend invite from me to all of you.

    I would love to volunteer myself to be the co-captain. I'm very organized and great at multi-tasking. That, and I think that being co-captain would force me to be very dedicated to this challenge, which is exactly what I want.

    As for my introduction, my name is Tati, I'm 22 but turning 23 during the challenge (12/30). I'm finishing up my second to last semester of graduate school for Social Justice (a combination of human rights studies, policy, and law) this week, which will leave me with much less stress than before.

    I'd love to lose weight in order to be able to do anything. I find that there are so many things that I can't do, just because of how much I weigh. For example, I can't go skydiving until I'm under 200lbs (I'm currently 218.4), and I can't exactly do much adventure because of it because I'm not strong enough.

    Anyway, I'm happy to be on Team Violet!
