Hi all!

As many of you know, I spaced out and didn't do what I was supposed to to belong to the 3FC's Biggest Loser Challenge -- boo! I really needed the motivation, though, so I'm going to try to do a faux team here on the 300+ board. It's my understanding that we weigh in each week, on a certain day, and whoever's lost the highest percentage that week is that week's winner -- right? With an overall winner at the end?

So, as we've missed today's weigh-in, let's weigh in on Thursday this week and just have a short week, with the regular weigh-in on Mondays. You can copy the dates listed below and put them in your post on this thread and then update the post with your new number every week:

May 1:
May 5:
May 12:
May 19:
May 26:
June 2:
June 9:
June 16:
June 23:
June 30:
July 7:
July 14:
July 21:
July 28:
August 4:

Remember, we're doing this for ourselves! But I think there definitely should be a prize for the biggest percentage lost by August 4 -- any ideas? A cookbook? Something exercisey? A tiara?

Good luck!

I know most of you don't know who I am. I used to frequent this board a year or so ago and then fell off the diet wagon. Now I'm back, heavier than before, and really need the motivation. I hope you don't mind if I join in.

HI count me in, Annie like you I'm confused! I weigh in on Fridays but I can do Thursdays just for this. Are we doing teams, it might be fun, either random chosings from a virtual hat or by how much you want/need to lose? I know it depends on how many want to do it & what everyone else wants, what do you all think?

I think it doesn't matter so much which day you weigh in -- I've chosen Mondays because that's the day that the other folks are using -- just post your weight once a week before midnight on Monday. If someone wants to set up teams, that'd be dandy! Otherwise, I'm just hoping for some serious competition here -- lots of competitive spirit, y'all! Help me get thinking about my choices, rather than letting the flow of the world carry me along!

Walrus - my WI day is Tuesday - so for the May 1 WI do I use what I was on Tuesday and then the May 5 use next Tuesdays? Sorry to be so dense about it and thanks again for doing this.
