I have at MAX 22 pounds to go, but probably more like 12 pounds. I'm almost to the point of being more concerned about body fat% than the scale number now. Almost. :D

Nancy Rossi, Sweetie, you need to edit your post and get your address off the internet. This Biggest Loser Challenge is just for this Forum ONLY and not the one you see on TV. We do sometimes follow that schedule so we can watch along with the show and lose weight with the Television contestants but this 3 Fat Chicks Challenge in in NO WAY affiliated with the one on TV.

Welcome to the challenge. :)

I'm absolutely in! This is awesome :)

Starting Weight: 228.0

I am in! I actually caught it BEFORE It started!

SW: 168

Is there anymore info about this? I have 25 lbs to lose. Is that too little? What is this exactly?

Here is the FAQ from the last one to give you an idea http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/biggest-loser-challenges/171453-summer-camp-2009-biggest-loser-challenge-faqs.html

Sign me up!!!

Starting Weight = 202.8

So what else do I need to do to "officially" weight in by Sept. 8th? I don't want to miss this because of something I didn't know to do!

It's been a while since I've done one of these but I thi8nk there will be a New Thread made once they finish the Challenge they are doing now, where we will all add our weights and Dixied will then make up the teams and post them for us. :)

sign me up too!

Ok I am in. I doubt I can win because I don't have a ton to lose and its not coming off easily.....but I like competition!

Well, that's what great about this challenge. It's not all about the amount, it's about the percentage. So those of us who comparitively might not have a lot to lose can still do pretty good, as long as it's a steady loss over the however many weeks it lasts.

Last time I only lost 18.5 lbs, but it was like 12% so I actually did good.

What was nice for me about signing up for the summer challenge (my first one) wasn't so much the competition as the cooperation and accountability. For one thing, nobody gets eliminated from a team unless they fail to meet more than 2 weigh-ins. People drop off because either life takes over, they forget, whatever, but anyone who weighs in every week stays on the team til the end. :) The blue team I'm on now started out with about 40 members, I think, and we're down to 9 in the home stretch. :o Next Monday is the end of the line.
I mean, I went into it figuring I wasn't gonna be biggest loser or anything, lol...I just wanted that extra motivation to make me work harder, not just to make myself proud, but to do well for the team. :)

So...for you first-timers, yes, you'll get on a team. ;) As long as you weigh in every week on schedule (you get 2 freebies/free passes), regardless of whether you lose or gain, you'll be on that team to the end! :carrot:

Please sign me up. I'm in need majorly!

Embarassed to even put this in here but starting weight is 205. UGH can we start already haha!!!!

I'd like to participate in the challenge.

Please sign me up!

Starting weight (on Monday Sept 7): 158.6lbs

Is there anymore info about this? I have 25 lbs to lose. Is that too little? What is this exactly?

I think your question about how it works has been answered, but 25lbs isn't too small of an amount to join us. I only have about 15lbs to go myself. We're equal opportunity support around here. ;)

Did I see a question regarding WLS? I don't think anyone cares HOW you lose the weight, we welcome everyone. Seriously, its for support and bragging rights only. I'm not writing out checks at the end of the season like NBC. The again, there's no akward product placement ads either. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to enjoy this EXTRA gum while I drive to Subway. :D

I'm in! I'm a first-timer. Would love to be in this challenge! :)

Starting weight: 162 lbs. I'm so excited!! :D

from what i gather from the messages and the links, after the 31st august, when the summer challenges finishes - there will be a new thread, where we will post our current weight? before the 8th of september?

Actually I'm getting ready to post a weigh-in thread now. Thanks for the reminder. :D

Brand new to 3fatchicks, but I'd like to join for the sake of accountability and motivation. (Not to mention the fact that I really need to keep losing weight!) I've been working on this since Jan 20...started at 198, and today was at 156.4. I seem to have problems with setting goals for specific dates, so my ultimate goal is 125 - whenever! Four months, eight months, one year - doesn't matter when. But...the sooner the better! Haven't been that weight since...hmmm...maybe freshman yr in college? So we'll see what happens!

Starting weight: 156.4
