Well, I peeked at the Red Team's posts and it looks like they are at about 65 pounds lost (after counting those who stayed the same, gained or dropped out) and there are 7 left to weigh in still...To quote Willy Wonka: "Oh, the anticipation is killing me...I hope it lasts!!!". :lol:

Sorry guys we've got about 5 MIAs tonight...2 of which I believe left the challeng but not for sure. Might have to wait till morning to get those results but I'll post them ASAP! If I'm still up at 10 my time I'll get it to you..promise!!

Hey, aren't they disqualified for this weigh-in if they aren't checked in by the deadline?

Not to be anal, but this *is* a competition and we all knew what the rules and limits were (and all have extenuating circumstances from time to time, which is why it is great we get two "off" weeks).

:)

I just answered my own question, from the FAQ thread Chellez started:


Q: What is the cutoff time to weigh in?
A: The cutoff time is every Monday following the week of the weigh in and all weights must be recorded on your weigh in post by 10 pm EST. After 10 pm the team leaders will review the weights and attempt to contact you for a final time. If we don't here from you we'll have to take action. This does not apply to the week of September 2nd to September 8th.

Q: What's a "freebie week"?
A: Freebie weeks are weeks were you either you can't get to the computer or something has come up that you can't weigh in. You have 2 of these for the entire 12 weeks of the challenge. So for instance if you can't weigh in, the leaders use your last weigh in as your weight for the week you miss. Once you use both freebie weeks, and you don't weigh in, you'll be removed from the team.

Technically they still have 45 minutes. At at 11:59EST if they havent weighed in they have to use a freebie.

Also, I have an issue with one persons weigh in (posted in the wrong place) so I'm gonna have to wait on Chellez ruling on that before our results are official. Its close....REALLY close! but, alas we are gonna have to wait for it to be official.

That is addressed in the FAQ thread too. It does say that all weights must be recorded on the "weigh in post" by 10 pm EST:

"Q: What is the cutoff time to weigh in?
A: The cutoff time is every Monday following the week of the weigh in and all weights must be recorded on your weigh in post by 10 pm EST. After 10 pm the team leaders will review the weights and attempt to contact you for a final time. If we don't here from you we'll have to take action. This does not apply to the week of September 2nd to September 8th."

Argggh! Now it's real anticipation!

Congrats to both teams....:) I am a bit confused though did Red or Blue win...Red right? I must not be awake yet!

Great job Red team on winning this week! Everyone had wonderful losses!!!!!!! Let's keep this going!

:cp: to everyone else for their hard work and sweat this week. Red and Blue lost over 135 pounds this week! I just checked and Black lost over 81 pounds too. Awesome achievements--that's like a couple of very short people. :dancer::dancer::dancer:

Keep going everyone, step by step.

Thanks to Chellez and Melissa for all the hard work! :hug: :hug:

Congrats RED on the win! Woot!

The results above now reflect the change! Way to go everyone!! this was an amazing week with some REALLY amazing losses! Everyone should be extremely proud of themselves!! Next week will go much smoother!

Okay now I'm confused blue had a 1.21% weight loss and red had a 1.20% weight loss.... doesn't that mean the blue team one??? Oh well... either both teams did a fantastic job!!!!

Neither team won this week.

The results are null and void.

Neither team.... did I miss something???

Ahhhhh never mind should have checked our team forum first!!! No worries here sorry you were stressed over this Michelle!!! It doesn't really matter who wins... as long as we are all losing weight we are all winners!!!!

Some issues went on with the weigh-in deadline this week, and they were SUPER close anyway--so to avoid drama/headaches/hurt egos/etc. Chellez decided to make the first weigh in null and void. Consider it a practice weigh-in :) I think she's adding a week to the end of the challenge to make up for it, which is a-okay by me!

Next week, the Blues will be bringin' it! So bring your A-Game one and all! I'm bringin' mine! Happy weight loss, everyone!

:bravo:to DiannaWV & beeoptimistic!!!!:congrat: SHOUT OUT to all the Honorable Mentions as well! Awesome Job!:hat::grouphug:
