It's been a while since I've done one of these but I thi8nk there will be a New Thread made once they finish the Challenge they are doing now, where we will all add our weights and Dixied will then make up the teams and post them for us.

Well, that's what great about this challenge. It's not all about the amount, it's about the percentage. So those of us who comparitively might not have a lot to lose can still do pretty good, as long as it's a steady loss over the however many weeks it lasts.

Last time I only lost 18.5 lbs, but it was like 12% so I actually did good.

What was nice for me about signing up for the summer challenge (my first one) wasn't so much the competition as the cooperation and accountability. For one thing, nobody gets eliminated from a team unless they fail to meet more than 2 weigh-ins. People drop off because either life takes over, they forget, whatever, but anyone who weighs in every week stays on the team til the end. The blue team I'm on now started out with about 40 members, I think, and we're down to 9 in the home stretch. Next Monday is the end of the line.
I mean, I went into it figuring I wasn't gonna be biggest loser or anything, lol...I just wanted that extra motivation to make me work harder, not just to make myself proud, but to do well for the team.

So...for you first-timers, yes, you'll get on a team. As long as you weigh in every week on schedule (you get 2 freebies/free passes), regardless of whether you lose or gain, you'll be on that team to the end!

I think your question about how it works has been answered, but 25lbs isn't too small of an amount to join us. I only have about 15lbs to go myself. We're equal opportunity support around here.

Did I see a question regarding WLS? I don't think anyone cares HOW you lose the weight, we welcome everyone. Seriously, its for support and bragging rights only. I'm not writing out checks at the end of the season like NBC. The again, there's no akward product placement ads either. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to enjoy this EXTRA gum while I drive to Subway.
