Hey team dark green, I am still looking for the team name suggestions. Mine are
Pound droppers, Bulging Bandits, thin it to Win it, and spare tire stoppers.

Also I need challenge ideas. I've got 100 extra crunches/squats/jumping jacks, eat veggies every meal, 1mile a day challenge, 30 extra min of exercise. I'm going to let the team vote for the challenges. We start in 17 days

Cheers,
Lesley

Oh one question!!

Since my weight has already changed --- do we need to have a new starting weight in 17 days when we start..

The names I like best so far are "Mean Lean and Dark Green" and "Thin it to win it"

I like the word play with green and lean

More name suggestions:

~Greener getting Leaner or Greener and Leaner
~Dark green, more Lean

Good Morning Dark Green Team,

I hope everyone is doing well. I know the holidays are creeping up on us but we still have to keep in mind our goals. I will not be logging my food over the holiday. I will be here and will be mindful but I am not going to gorge myself.

Ok so not a lot of people have had any input on the team name so I am going to give you the three and let you vote:

1. Lean, Mean, and Dark Green
2. Thin it to Win it
2. Dark Greens getting Lean

The voting will close on Dec 29th I have to get it to CJ so please help.

Challenge ideas are needed., I want everyone to have a voice thru the challenge so please send me those ideas. I

Cheers and Happy Losing,
Lesley

Also, there were a few other team name suggestions up thread weren't there? I know I mentioned some =P

Hello Everyone,
My name is Teresa and I live in Ojai, California. I am 42 years old and have been overweight since my late teens. I have two children, ages, 19 & 20. I gained almost 130 pounds with their combined pregnancies and haven't lost any of it. I've tried WW and succeeded twice, but then gained the weight back. I have been on MFP for a year now and lost a total of 42 pounds but have gained about 10 to 12 of it back in the last month and a half. I joined this challenge to get motivated again and lose this weight once and for all. My mom died at the age of 55 because of her weight and I don't want to follow in her footsteps.
I like the name Mean and Lean Dark Green for our team. We can all do this so let's support each other and not only win this challenge, but get healthy for good!

Hello team, sorry for the late response but work has been very hectic these past few weeks and occupying way more of my time than I would like. My name is Tanya and I have been a member of MFP for almost one year. I've lost about 34 lbs since joining this site and actually won a biggest loser contest at my job back in April. Couldn't have done it without MFP. However, I started slacking and gained about 8-10 lbs back. When I saw this challenge, I knew it would be exactly what I needed to get refocused and motivated to get back on track. I also really like the name Lean, Mean, and Dark green and look forward to participating in this challenge with other encouraging and motivating team members. We must all strive for success and motivate/push one another to do so. Can't wait. Please add me as well.

I wanted to add that I am 40 soon to be 41, a military spouse with 2 children (ages 4 and 15), and I am also a nurse so life has been kind of crazy lately as I mentioned before. I started my journey back in Jan. when I was fed up with being overweight after having my second child and not having the energy to do anything but exist. I took a good look in the mirror one day and decided it was time to make a change, so I joined the biggest loser contest at my job. My co-worker had also introduced me to MFP around that time, and it was a lifesaver with keeping me on track. I lost the weight and won the contest much to my surprise but felt great about what I had accomplished. I began to start on maintenance mode but life got in the way and I crept back to some of my old habits which is why I am here now. I want to lose the weight I gained back and finally achieve my original weight-loss goal, but this time I want to maintain these life-long healthy habits.

Lean, mean and dark green!!!!
