Hello all!
This is my first time in the challenge, so I'm looking forward to it. |
Hey Everyone. My name is Laurie and I am so looking forward to being on this challenge with all of you. My hope is to give as much support, understanding and a good swift kick in the behind when needed to each of you. I expect the same consideration from all of too.
My goal for this challenge is not to lose a set number of pounds (although that would be wonderful) but instead to get more consistent with my eating and exercising. I am going to try to log my foods daily and stay within my calorie range and also commit to exercising at least 4 days a week. Although 6 would be much better. Baby steps. Anyway, just wanted to hop on here real quick before I get dinner started. I'm glad to be on this team with you all. Remember, together we can do this!!! BLACK ROCKS!!!!!!!! |
Hey everybody!! :)
So glad to be a member of the Black Team again and hang out with all my friends from the last challenge and all the new peeps! It's going to be a lot of fun. |
Hi Everyone!!!
I'm so excited to get started and really psyched about being on the black team!! Black Rocks!! Let's kick some tail. |

Hello new friends!
Laurie - I'm going to copy your goal of exercising 4 times per week for this whole challenge. That means going to the gym 60 times in the next 15 weeks, totally reasonable. I do have a "scale" goal for the challenge, as well. I really want to get to 150. My starting weight is 183 so that may be a bit of a stretch, but over the course of the challenge hopefully I'll make substantial progress toward that number. I can't wait until we all get to know each other. It's a bit overwhelming having this new thread full of strangers, but I'm looking forward to this. |
I thought it would be fun to do a get to know you. Fill out as much as you can.

Hi team :wave:
Can't stay long enough to answer the questions but just wanted to say hello and I look forward to this challenge. I've been off track since the last one. :o My goal is to stay on plan (allowing for a cheat meal every week) and to workout 6 days a week. Good luck everybody! :goodluck: |
Hi Mary, I think you've got the right idea about sharing about ourselves. It would be nice to get to know everyone. Mary, I love fajitas and guacamole! Here's stuff about me:
I'm 39 years old, married. I live in Southern California where it's "beachy". I have no kids, just a 14 year old black pug and an 8 year old tuxedo cat who are like my kids. I am not a fan of exercising, but since my weigh in, I've forced myself to do it. Before the weigh in, the exercise I got was walking to and from school. Since then, I've made sure and ridden the stationary bike for atleast 30 minutes a day (except for today, I'm taking it off!). Starting on Tuesday, I am going to add some weights to my routine, although due to time constraints that might make me cut my cardio down to 3x a week. I am a student, English major, I graduate in a few weeks, then I am going to grad school for Library and Information Science to be a university librarian. I am a calorie counter, and I also pay attention to fats, fiber and calcium. My hobbies are movies, books, art, photography, museums, plays, playing on the Internet, computer games and writing. My goal for this challenge is to be consistent and make it through!!! And also lose 20 lbs. :carrot: :cb::cheer2: I look forward to getting to know you! |

Hi gals! I'm excited about being on the black team. After several years of watching TBL and lamenting about my changing (over 40) body and feeling defeated, I finally have accepted what I have to do. In February, DH and I did a consultation for lapbands. Our insurance turned us both down. Which is okay because it really wasn't the route I wanted to go; but would have if that is what it took to get the weight off. But, shortly after the consultation, I joined the local fitness center and fell in love with working out again. Since that consultation, I've lost about 12 pounds and feel successful again. I am partcipating in the Fitness Center's Biggest Loser challenge that started about 3 weeks ago.

My ultimate dream would be to have lots of acres with a pristine horse barn/arena and lots of time to train them.

My horror is that since we've moved to the country, I find myself turning into my mother!!!!! Secret fantasy about self: To be muscled and in kick *** shape for my rapidly approaching 50's.
