I posted it to the spreadsheet earlier, but I'm down 4 pounds this week. I figured out that I can definitely reach the (typoed) goal that I set for myself for this challenge - 357 - if I lose an average of 3 lbs a week, which hasn't been too hard lately. I'm so gonna push myself with EVERYTHING I have now. <3

SW - 387.4 lbs Week 1 - 386.2 lbs Week 2 - 385.4 lbs Week 3 - 378.4 lbs Week 4 - 374.4 lbs Total lost - 13.0 lbs Woo! I did it! I was really hoping for at least the 1 pound, and I got 4, so I'll take it. =D

I'm sorry, but we've already closed off the challenge. We've got 60 people already. Sorry.

Almost half of everyone has weighed in so far! We're off to a good start. To everyone else, I'm sorry, but the challenge is closed. D:

My weight for this challenge is starting at 374.4 lbs. Thank you all for weighing in so far. Still waiting on everyone else's data. Hope you all have a FANTASTIC Memorial Day weekend, if you're celebrating. =D

Right before you choose the PLAY option of a song, down a few rows is a option called WORKOUT MODE. It'll ask you to enter your weight, and once the box is checked back on the PLAY menu, play through the song and it'll tell you how many seconds you actually danced and a good estimation of calories burned. Its an awesome…

They're working out for hours upon hours a day - there's no temptation of fast food because they don't go out unless its for a reward. Their diets are tailored to match their bodies by a professional nutritionist. They've got medical staff to watch over them to prevent injuries before they happen. Basically, everything…

I've been morbidly obese my entire life. In elementary school, I was tormented for being a 'Teacher's Pet' and such, and that was what led me to start putting on weight. And then I was tormented for being both a Teacher's Pet and for being heavy. I didn't have the capacity to deal with the torment as a child, plus I didn't…

I do this ALL the time. My brain just gets so far ahead of my mouth, and so I mash up words all the time. The other day, I don't remember who I was talking to or what we were talking about, but it was definitely something dangerous. So, my brain was telling me to say "No, its dangerous" and then list all the reasons I felt…

I so cannot wait to try one of these smoothies, since I have such a problem with eating breakfast food (I get such an upset stomach). Now if only I could find my blender....

Hey, guys! Hope you're all getting to know your partners! Sunday's coming up on us quick. Make sure you post your starting weight for the challenge in this thread on Sunday so that we can update the spreadsheet. We want this to be a super fun and awesome challenge, so if you have questions or comments to make it better…

I only bought a scale to just have it so I could keep track of my weight, and I bought it for $19, before shipping, from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Weigh-Elite-Bathroom-Weight-Scale/dp/B001GBGMWW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1306459302&sr=8-3-fkmr0

@Angelamu7: Yep. We'll keep using this thread, so all you have to do when you click on the Community Tab is then click "My Topics" and you'll find the thread. @jilld76: Post in here, 'cause its easier for Andrea and I to just go down the list and read the posts. @Cando055: Awwwh! I'm glad you're getting to know one…

@Nsp1981 & @poker82: Friend myself or Andrea to be updated on when the next challenge will start. =D

I'd eat a bar for a snack or something - but not for a full meal.

@Realtreegirl & @fskoethe: You guys can add either Andrea or myself as a friend, and then you'll be updated about when the next challenge starts. =D

Okay, time for a quick question and answer session. =D @EsmeraldaSanchez: One user deactivated their MFP account, so we're going to allow you to participate. Ivorythorns is your partner - we'll be keeping track of data via MS Excel spreadsheets that Andrea and I will be keeping. @ivorythorns: Well, that's odd. I guess…

I have The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout, which pretty much does the same thing, and Dance Central. =D

All right, guys! We've got everyone partnered up! Say hello to your new partner! Send them a friend request, get to know one another, and find out the best way to motivate one another so that your team can be the biggest losers of the month!

Okay, so I felt bad and added the last 4 that posted after I cut off the sign-ups to the competition. So we now have a total of 64 people and 32 teams - I think we're set now. @Jbugfit2011 - Andrea and I will be randomizing people and placing them on teams - once of us will post the teams within the next day or so, that…

All right! By my count, we've got 60 people, so we're gonna cut off signing up for the challenge. Teams will be posted sometime within the next couple of days. When teams are posted, we recommend that you friend request your teammate and work closely together - since its a TEAM that will be the month's biggest losers!

I count 53 participants so far - we've got room for SEVEN more people to make things even. =D

I caught up and added everyone to my master list - and we've still got plenty of room. =D I'll be working on pairing people up soon.

Hi! I'm Nika! 1. I'm 22 years old, and my birthday's in December. 2. I'm was born in winter, so I love the cold and avoid the heat. 3. I've been morbidly obese my entire life, thankfully with no major health problems. 4. I'm finally sticking to my plan to lose weight to prevent the health problems that run in my family. 5.…

cupcakecarnivore always leaves them wanting more. =D

Oh, its no problem - it was Andrea's idea, I just wanted to help out. I lose more when I'm feeling motivated from a little competitive spirit. =D

That's thirty people so far! Wow! Since we're doing teams of 2, I think another thirty people would be manageable. That would give us 30 total teams and plenty of support and competitive spirit. So there's still plenty of room for people to join up. =D

Vicky, BMR and BMI aren't the same thing. BMR is Basic Metabolic Rate, and it should be that high. Amy, Your BMR is a number that tells you how many calories you'd burn if you slept all day - so if you slept all day, you'd burn 1302 calories. This number helps you to figure out how much exercise you need to do as well as…

I'm helping with the challenge, so I'm definitely in. =D Just had to reply to keep the thread in my list.
