Retiredone and Catsgetnhealthy, I posted my weight a few days ago, but I too thought the deadline was 12am. So I join Rain in asking is there anyway they can still get in?:^:

So glad I decided to weigh in on the 1st. Hope she lets you guys in, since you were both on my team last time. I will miss you if you're not there.

Question-- Do you find you lose weight after doing cardio and gain or maintain after doing strength moves?

I am testing a theory. I know strength is good, but I'm wondering if I just need to do more intense cardio to lose. Let me know what your experiences have been.

Getting antsy! Im not going to bed til I know what team I'm on! lol

I second that Bradleys! I am wearing out my mouse clicking "refresh" :comp::halfempty

I am also surfing for pics of my rewards of things I want every time I lose 5 lbs. Just busying myself... I'm toooo excited!!!

Kris - Sounds fun!! Not a bad idea either! Waiting... waiting... Lets get this show on the road! LOL

Hi chickies! Happy 2009! Let's Party . . .

Like it's 2009, right?

Yes, I'm anxious. Yes my weight is still up. But, this challenge gives me the boost I need. I'm starting as soon as I get my team placement.:dizzy:

Like others, I need to journal, both for weight-loss and for self-discovery.

I've been crafting, having a great time with it, have not been OP.

My life is wobbling back to center . . . ate a bit less today . . .

Team, where are you?

Dora

Oh, and Dee you DO look fabulous!!!!

I missed the weigh in deadline!!!! I am so mad at myself! For some reason, I thought today was the 3rd.

I am SO sorry everyone! I was really looking forward to participating w/ everything this time around!!!

Better luck next time!

Oh no MJ!! You will be missed :(

I havn't been on this 'meet in the middle' thread.. but i have been lurking.. I am soo anxious to hear our teams!! hehe I just keep clicking refresh and waiting and hoping... hehehe

Abby,
I think we are all doing the same thing! I hope we don't crash the server before the teams can be posted :lol:

Hi girls! I'm waiting to be with you all once again! I'm up, I guess I did'nt control the holidays as well as I should have! I plan to get back in contol with everyone! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

This will be a good year for us, I can just feel it in my bones!:newyear:

I can't wait to get this part started! I know several of you missed the deadline, but feel free to join us on the team threads. Your weight just won't count for the team total. For me, it's the feeling of being accountable to the someone that keeps me going. I don't want a missed deadline to keep you from continuing to lose.

Dumplin - How long did it take to un-decorate your house? I hope you had some help.

Hi all,

I am new to the challenges and can't wait to get started! Any idea when the teams will be announced?

I'm a 30 year old chocaholic (but also an exercise addict!) and have been overweight since my late teens. I have PCOS and was also recently diagnosed with IBS so need to take these conditions into account in planning my meals. I have let my weight affect so many areas of my life for so long - well- no more! My heaviest weight was 294 and the lightest I have got to since making a dedicated effort to lose weight was 210. I am now up to 223 and hope by the end of this challenge to be below the 200 mark!

I look forward to getting to know everyone and helping each other achieve our goals.

We can do it!!

I'm sure Michelle will get the teams posted soon. It takes a while to compile all the information. Lack of a team right now shouldn't stop us from eating right and moving our butts!!

Hello. I'm also new to the challenge but not new to the boards.
I can't wait to get this party started! I'm going to head to my room and do some Turbo Jam and hopefully by the time I'm done the teams will be posted!
Good luck to everyone!
