Okay - to say we had a bad week is a little of an understatement! I give major kudos to those of you who knew you'd be posting a gain and still didn't take a Freebie week (I took a Freebie week because I'm a wimp! lol). You might want to take a minute to look at the "Freebies used" count on the last post of our weigh-in thread to see where you might stand on your Freebie usage. We're coming up on Thanksgiving and I don't want to lose any more of you! In all, we've lost 5 ladies so far in the challenge. There are still 22 of us going strong! So, please please please post your weigh-ins by the deadlines (even if you post a gain.... I think we've ALL been there). Let's finish out the challenge strong!
And now, because I think we need a little encouraging after this past week, I want to share with you that as a team, we've lost 194.6 pounds!!! AND, we have MANY double-digit losers:
So, if you step back and look at the grand scheme of things, we are doing SO awesome!!!! 194.6 pounds!!!! GONE!!!! FOREVER!!!! WOW!!! THAT is something to be SO proud of. So, let's get back up... dust ourselves off... and come back next week with a vengeance!!

I am a turtle in this contest! No big losses, but I will take slow and steady. I am going to try to kick it into high gear for the next couple weeks. We CAN do this!!!!
all!
I always wanted my own dancing carrot , LondonJulz. Thank you!
I was up last week, so some of it is a total do-over. Guess I had to lose it twice to really make it count .
So, we're doing it ladies (are there any gents in this group?)! We've lost 194.6lbs! That's amazing when you distribute it among us. Let's keep heading towards victory. There are 22 of us left. For week 9, if we can average a pound each, we can lose the equivalent of a large bag of Cat Chow. Meow!
(Yes, I know I'm a bit odd, but y'all still like me, right? )
I thought about taking a freebie, but I just couldn't...I wanted to hold myself accountable...but now that I think about it, I'm sorry if that hurt the team for the week.
I intend to have a good loss next week! I think it's cool that I've lost 22.5 lbs so far in this challenge though.
Great job, team!

22.5lbs is great for only 8 weeks! Not to mention that you've lost 61lbs already. Way to go! Send me some of what you've got going on.
Next time I'm at the grocery store, I'm heading over to the pet food aisle and picking up a 16lb bag of something to get a feel for what I've lost so far.
Great job One Fluffy Chick ... ... considering that 22 people are still in the fight since the ... start gives me a little more inspiration ... to step it up these last few weeks ... I have been way off the plan ... ... comfort-fooding like crazy! I'm going to take control ... and hold it down for the Black team ... we can do it ladies!!!
Come on ladies!! All of us can lose just ONE pound by Monday. We can do this! Let's just buckle down and make a one pound minimum goal. I WILL BE 145.5 on Monday morning. That's my goal.
Wow! I had no idea I was a double-digit loser. Ha, that's awesome! I guess I started right in with this challenge as soon as I joined these boards.
Thanks for all of the hard work putting these numbers together, Julz!!

I WILL lose at least 1 pound by Monday (or Friday rather...it's my weigh-in day). Losing just 1 pound will put me in the "double-digit loser" category on this challenge! YAY!
Week 8 Results - Black Team
Cool!
