Biggest Loser: Silver Team Thread
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...silverteam.jpg
Some say gray... I say SILVER! Hey Silver Team! So here's the deal... every Monday morning weigh yourself, and post your weight here (I've changed it to every Monday instead of every Sunday, it makes more sense, but it MUST be posted by Monday at noon to stay in the game). Also post your final goal weight, and do the quick math to figure out how many pounds you are from that weight (Current weight [minus] goal weight). Your team will have to elect a captain (soon!), and that person will add up the numbers: 1. Add together your team's total weight. 2. Add together the total number of pounds that need to be lost to get to everyone's goals. 3. Make a Silver Team's total weight, and number of pounds to be lost this week... then next week, add in the total number of pounds lost that week. Use this thread to get to know your teammates. Get everyone to dish about their eating habits, their workout routines, strengths, weaknesses, what you can bring to the table, and what you need help with. Give each other suggestions, encouragement, new ideas and strategize. Let's see it ladies. Which team can be the Biggest Loser? Important Note: When you're checking the thread in the future, be sure to check this first post before anything else. It's where updates will be posted about the game! |
Hey everyone! Looking forward to getting to know you all! I hope you're all as enthusiastic as I am!!!
My name is Kassie, but in case you forget I will settle with Ace! I'm 18, living back at home again. I go to school full time. Currently job hunting (I don't know why but nobody seems to be hiring). I've been "dieting" for about a month now. I am finding that I have more willpower now than I ever have in my life. I think it's because it's the first time I've really wanted to do this for myself. I just got the 'Biggest loser workout(cardio max)' dvd and I'm aiming to exercise at least 4-5 times a week. That about sums up the introduction part!(I want to leave some info for later so I have something to say:P) |
Hi! My name's Becky. I am really excited about this! I think this is the jumpstart that I need. I am actually going to go to Walmart in the morning to see if they might have any BL DVD's. The only exercise equipment I have are two 5 lb weights, and the "bean". lol. So, I don't really have much to work with but household things and myself. I could use my two kids as weights...my oldest is 40 lbs and my baby is about 10. hehe. Anyway, I can't wait to get this thing started! Go Silver team!!:carrot:
|
YAY! So frickin excited!
Well I'm not great at these introductions but I'll do my best, lol! Well I'm 19. Full time college student living out of home. Finding it a huge bonus to not be living at home. I really struggle at home. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. I feel like I've been at it forever. So sinced I've moved away, I've gotten really into working on my eating habits. I pretty much have it set and I'm doing good but now I need to kick my butt of the couch/bed in my case! I need to seriously up my exercise. Cant wait to get to know you guys and get started! I think we need a banner for our signetures as well!! any ideas?! |
Hey becky! I know they have BL dvd's on amazon if you can't find any at wal mart. Mine came in two days:D
|
A banner for our signatures? I don't know what you're talking about.
|
See my "Black is Slimming" thing? That's a banner. ;)
...sorry to intrude, but there aren't any other black team members around, I'm getting my Biggest Loser highs off of reading all of the other teams' intros. :p |
Oh! How about "In this case, silver doesn't mean second best!"
or something I don't know... ahaha |
|
Damn, you're quick! ahaha I was going to say I use photo editing software but that looks pretty good. Of course it's up to the rest of the team too(right?). Thanks so much though I think it's great!
|
Ohh! Dude, make your own then!!!
And of COURSE it's up to your team! I'm just butting in out of 2 am boredom. :D:lol: |
it's pretty awesome!
I do have one alternative idea... all that glitters is not gold! |
....ok...so i'm not even on black team (sorry, just curiousss) but i really dig the banners. :p
|
Well I'll make one just for fun and see how it turns out!
|
Okay... this is what i came up with... i don't know if you'll like it team. Don't feel bad if you don't want to use it:D

silver: mAgnificient!
i'm sorry, i'm not even on this team, i just love all this banner junk being thrown around. Ag is silver on the periodic table (thanks, google). |
ahaha, that's really clever, I would have never got it if you didn't explain though, science wasn't my greatest subject.

Hey everyone!! My name's Shauna and I'm SUPER stoked about doing this challenge. It sounds so rad. Well to start off I'm 21 and I live in southern California. I live with my grandparents and I was full-time at school but took a year off in order to switch things around and go to a different school as an art major. I started as a biology major, but have always been an art nerd since 9th grade. My senior year in high school was all art. Since about middle school I have always been the heavy girl. It's been a constant struggle, however, I am more motivated than ever to lose this weight for good.
I am a calorie counter as well as a low carb dieter and I work out at home. I'm still too self conscious to work out in public, besides walking. All I have is a stability ball, 5 pound dumb bells, and a pilates/yoga mat. I'm so excited for this challenge. It definitely is a motivator. I hope to get to know you all real soon. |
Good morning everyone!:) I really love the banner idea! How do you get it on? I don't think I can use banners yet, it says something about waiting 20 days and making the minimum post requirement. What is up with that??:(
|
Note to all: Hey everyone! When posting your current weight and goal weight, do not post the goal that you have for the end of the 4 weeks. Post your GOAL WEIGHT. :)
Cheers! |
Hello Girls!! I'm so excited to get this challenge started!! I'm 23 and currently living with my loving boyfriend. I work full time as a dental hygienist and I'm also going to school online fulltime to get my bachelors in dental hygiene. (yes, I am very busy and crazy for attempting both!) I've struggled with my weight most of my life. Got real skinny by a miracle (it must've been cause I didn't change anything about how I exercised or ate at first) and now I've gained it all back and then some!!
I've been dieting for about two weeks. I'm following the south beach diet and so far have lost 13lbs! :) I'm really good about my diet, but I'm hoping this challenge will force me to get up and exercise more. I'm one of the few lucky ones to have a full gym in my house. (my bf is a meathead :)) haha. And I talked him into getting me an eliptical so I'm set with equipment, I just need to do it!!! P.S- I love all the banners, they're cute! |
Woohoo!
Well, I bought the first BL workout DVD and Jillian's 30DS DVD at Walmart. I heard a lot of good things about these two, so I'm hoping I will be able to do them too! I really have a long way to go to get back into shape though. I used to be able to run 2 miles and do a bunch of sit-ups and push-ups, but in the last 5 years, I haven't done much of anything. I joined Curves after our first son was born, but due to the cost I had to stop going. Hopefully someday we can get an elliptical machine, I would love to have one. We just don't have enough extra cash for big things right now. The second exciting thing that happened today, besides getting my DVD's:carrot: was I just paid $11 for a FULL tank of gas!! Very awesome:D Gas prices went down to $2.02 here and I had $1.10 off per gallon thanks to Weis gas rewards!! Sorry, that had nothing to do with weight, but I'm just very happy about it. I haven't paid less than $30 for a full tank in over, what, 6 years?:dizzy:
|
Ugh I'm so jealous! I hate living in NY gas is still 2.40 something here. But hey thats a heck of a lot better than its been!
|
Gas was really cheap here too:D but it's just a tease:( it'll go back up in no time.
|
Anyways! GALS I really enjoyed reading about you, and I know we can do whatever we put our minds too, especially you QT working full time and doing online courses full time.... I could never... ahaha yay i'm excited.
anybody come up with any more banner ideas? |
So who wants to be team captain? We need to pick one before tomorrow, right? Also, about the banners, I kinda like the "all that glitters isn't gold" one, or something along that line.
|
Also, where's Chunckymonkey?? She's on our team, but hasn't written yet. Anyone know?
|
I wouldn't mind being the captain. I'm on the net most of the day every day! Also I love math!
But I don't mind if someone else wants to do it more! |
That's fine with me;)
|
Fine with me. I'm so scatter brained most of the time its better if I'm not captain!! I'm lucky if I know what day it is! :) When is our weight supposed to be posted? By tomorrow at noon? I def won't remember that so I will give you my stats now.
My current weight is 229lbs. My goal is 140lbs. So I'm 89lbs from my goal. Geez I have a long way to go!! :) |
No problem with you doing it maddie:)
|
Good luck everybody with tomorrow's weigh in! Hopefully this challenge will help us all lose weight and keep it off;)
|
Yep, I hope so!
|
Hi, ChunckyMonkey finally appears...I work as a waitress 6 days a week -today should have been an early day for me but things came up...
I am the ELDEST! 46 and have had it with my size. I have been this weight for 11 years. 11 of my customers (not including myself) have put us on the BL plan for 4 months we started in October. I work out twice a week with a trainer and on the ellipital 6 days - never had so much energy in my life. Love the Banner idea and leaning toward Silver Isn't Always Second Place - gotta tell you - I'm now Competative! LOL Very excited to get to know all of you ...:carrot: Colleen |
Do you think since we all have differen't ideas on banners we can all just have different silver banners? Or is it more team like to all have matching ones?
|
I think we should all have the same banner. With that being said, I thought all of the ideas were cute so I don't care which one you all decide to use. I can't even have a signature yet anyway :( But I believe I will soon! :)
|
Well My decision isn't unbiased since I made one of the banners.. so I don't think its fair if i help choose. lol
|
BTW. I just made my first blog entry and it has a lot of details about me if you're interested:)
|
Starting - 313
Goal - 165 lbs till goal - 148 |
I like all the ideas for the banners. If everybody wants to use the one you made, Ace, that is fine. It is pretty cool.;)
Starting weight: 216 Goal: 160 Lbs to lose: 56 :carrot: |
