Hey Gold 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 Gold 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!

I will just post my numbers for right now, since we need those quick!

Current Weight: 218
FINAL goal weight EVER:190
Pounds I need to lose: 28

Well Hey ladies! I don't have much more to loose, but I'm going to do my best! And my not a lot to loose will make our goal weight lower = better.

Current Weight: 128
Final Goal Weight: 120
Pounds to loose: 8

Hey ladies!!! I'm so excited that it wasn't too late for me (us) to join, heh! GO GOLD TEAM!! We have to make a totally awesome banner for our sigs, lol.

So, I've already *technically* lost 1.2 lbs this week, so in order for that to count towards our totals this week, I'm going to use my weight from this past Monday as my starting weight--which is only fair IMO! I write down my weight every day (obsessive? maybe ), so I know for a fact that I was exactly 199.0 lbs on Monday 11/17, so that's my starting weight. Now then:

Starting weight - 199
Final goal - 150
Pounds I have left - 49

Wow! I didn't realize until just now that I'm only 49 lbs away from goal... Crazy! So I'm not sure if I understand the rules--we weigh-in every Monday, and then what? Do we do some kind of crazy percentage thing like on the real BL? Where will all of the weekly results be posted? Sorry for all the dumb questions, heh.

The weekly results will be posted... when everyone gets in their numbers, and I get around to it. Unfortunately, with this many ladies... 9 teams with 5-7 people each-ish... there's a DAMN good chance that people won't get in their Monday result weights to me, and teams won't want to give me their weight lost without the missing people, so... I have a feeling it's gonna be a bit of a sh!t show, lol.

When you give me your numbers the calculations will be what percentage of your goal weight loss your team has made.

So...
Sally weighs 150 and her goal is 130
Jenny weighs 185 and her goal is 150

Their goal weight loss is (20 + 35) 55 lbs.

If this coming week, they lose 5 lbs as a team... divide 5 into 55, it's 9%.

Taa-daaa.

I think our banner should say "Gold: every ounce counts"


what do you guys think???
I don't know how to make it though

Aww, shoot, I made one before I saw your post, vdaybaby! I like that "slogan" even better, hehe. Maybe I'll make another one tomorrow, but I'm sick of looking for "gold" images LOL! This is the one I made:

Whaddaya think?

aw I like yours too meredith! It's up to you because I honestly don't know how to make them

perfect

HEY Ladies!!!
I just sent Jess a pm and asked if I would be able to join a team and she set to join the Gold team. So here I am!!! Sorry Im late and I hope you girls dont mind!

So I just joined this site and am already in love with it, the ideas and motivation are amazing. So here is my info that is needed to begin the fun....

SW: 148 (This is as of yesterday, is that okay? Only becuase I lost a lbs since then... not sure if thats allowed though haha)
GW:120

HEY!! I'm in the same boat as SarahD, i was also sent to your lovely team
SW:230
GW:200 (bc ummm my final goal weight is a little far for this competition, and 200 seems just lovely)
lbs to lose: 30

I also don't think i exactly understand whats going on here with how much my goal is to lose before the next weigh in or does that not matter i just plan so i know how much i should be losing each week?

Yeah I know Im a little confused too... and is there a final weigh in or is this just an on going thing?

Welcome SarahD and ForeverLove! Nice to "meet" you two!

Sooo, how is everyone today? I was down 0.2 lbs when I weighed in today (putting me at 197.6 lbs), which was a bit disappointing because I was expecting a bigger loss, heh, but maybe tomorrow! I'll keep you ladies posted! Maybe if I'm contemplating some debauchery this weekend, I'll be able to think of my *team* and change my mind because I don't want to let you down, LOL!

Hey guys i was also recruited to your team, sorry if its confusing but heres my stats

SW: 201
GW (for the end of the competition): 180

Thanks for letting me join, i think this is a great idea and now it will otivate me to exercise more because i dont want to let my team down

Hey guys i was just reading a post from Jelbb she wants us to post our over all goal weight not at the end of the challenge so here are my new numbers

Sw: 201 (thats as of today..monday it was 204)
Gw: 130 still have a ways to go


I was also reading a few of the other threads and they were doing sort of a get to know you kind of thing, i thought it would be good if we did the same, ill even start:

My favorite music is anything heavy and love to read. I cant wait for the new twlight movie to come out. LOL I dunno im really bad at these getting to know you things.
