Hi. I thought I would start this to kick start the red team challenge.

My name is Fiona and I am 46 and I live in Ireland. I have 2 kids aged 6yrs and 2.5 yrs and I work full time in Art and Design Education. I currently weigh 140lb....started out here at 164lb. I lost about 12 lb on the last 12 week challenge and would be quite happy to lose the same again this time round - that would bring me near to my final goal weight of about 126lb. I am not fit, but have just bought a treadmill and I hope that this will help me in this challenge. I hope to play my part here for the Red team. Personally I do well with a bit of chat and motivation while on challenges like this so if anyone else is the same please post and we will spur each other on.Wishing you all success....GO REDS!

    I'm so pleased someone else is keen to motivate...yeh, I really wished that there was more support going on last time - so lets make it happen this time. I was with the blues. I didn't do so great on the fitness, but this time I will definitely do better. Well done on your loss last time! Fantastic achievement! Lets make a real move forward in the next 12 weeks. It should see me almost home : )

    Well it really does sound like there is great excitement here. That's what we all need...Enthusiasm is catching. I had a good day Monday and yesterday and determined to have another good one today. Yep, it would be lovely to win....or at least do our very best as a team and also for ourselves. Go Red!

    Hey beautifuls!

    My name is Danielle I'm 23 and I just graduated this past Dec with a Bachelors of Science. I've been "bigger" my entire life and have been made fun of because of it but it hasn't ruined who I am because I'm still ME! I want to get healthy for numerous reasons, one being I want to feel and look better and have more confidence! I am excited to do this BL challenge and I'm happy to meet and support you all :) WE can do this RED team!!!

    So how have the first few days been for everyone? I have done fine - working and taking a lunch with me. Evenings are probably the hardest....but I have re-committed and am eating near enough my daily 1200 calories.

    I have increased my veggies again. I did that really well on the last Challenge but had slipped as things were a bit hectic over the past month. For me veggies are great fillers and keep the calorie count lower....a good spend!

    No exercise at the moment...waiting on my treadmill - I just haven't had the time to tidy the toyroom for ages and would break my neck if I tried Wii dancing in there!

    So how are you all doing? It's great to get a good start - sets you up motivation wise for the early weeks. I hope you are all doin well. Go Reds!

    Hi My name is Jessica, You can call me Jessica, Jess, Jessie, whatever you wish! I am 26 and I am in my last year of law school! I have been "big" all my life, I am a huge emotional eater and i have been up and down for the last decade. I am trying to get healthy the right way and for the right reasons this time! I just went through and awful divorce and during the rocky marriage I gained a lot of weight with fertility medications and I was just a mess. I am getting back on track now and things are getting much better for me! I go to Zumba classes 2-4 times a week and spend time with my boyfriends children walking and playing outside and getting my new house up and running and making it my own! I look forward to this challenge and I couldnt be more excited! I usually use the MFP app on my phone so I might not be posting much but I have gotten better at it! I hope you all have a great week!!!

    Agree evenings are bad. Especially after everyone is in bed and I get settled. Having the team does help though. :happy:
