Well, the world is still spinning and we're all still here so . . . .

On with the Summer Challenge!

Page - I would so-o-o-o love to be where you are. You are doing great.

And Jay, I wish I had learned of your site sooner, I like a little competition. You're another one I'd love to be. Someday!

Been working hard in the yard, mostly at the memorial. It's all looking so wonderful - I love this time of year.

Looking forward to meeting more folks this challenge, and Kelsey, nice pic.

Here we go . . . .

Hi everyone well it's officially the last day of challange so make sure to put your weights in on your original team WI thread.

Jaytee- I'm happy for you that you met your goal and have found a place to do up some Bootcamp style challenges. I hope you have continued success.

PageLynn- congrats on the loss that's awesome

Kelsey - great picture

Dora - nice to still be on this spinning earth ride. Great exercise working in the yard it is nice to be outside more. Never cared for yard type work but love going out for my runs in this weather.

Good luck to everyone on this last WI.

Best of luck to everyone not going in the next challange and looking forward to seeing our return team members and meeting our new ones.

If you have any questions about the next challenge feel free to message myself or jacky (bigmid) and we will do our best to assist you. Remember the sign up cut off time is Sunday evening. By this time you need to have adjusted/posted your starting weight for the next challenge.

Thanks to everyone who contributed names for the summer challenge. We will be announcing the challenge name by May 25th along with the team announcements.

Thanks for the new year new you challenge. I am soooo proud of myself. I have lost 17.3 pounds in this challenge. Today I went and tried on some jeans one size smaller. I really am appreciative of the support from everyone. Weightloss isnt easy and chatting with people feeling the same as me, really helped. I didnt get and post as regulary with the purple team, but knew that the support was there when I needed it. The last few weeks have been hard and I ready for the new challenge. Hope to see you all there!

Congratulations everyone on finishing the challenge
Personally, I didn't do so well during the last 6 weeks, and I gained weight. Overall, I am down 12 pounds which I am happy with, but I know it could have been a lot more than that. I just didn't put in the work these past 6 weeks so I am disappointed in myself.
to Jacky and Shan for being such great leaders!

Way to finish up, everyone! I'm proud of each and every one of us who stuck it out to the end....lose, gain or maintain we all remained accountable! For everyone who saw a final weigh in that wasn't where they wanted it to be, I hope you're signed up and on board for the next challenge.

Thanks to the leaders for their time and efforts in running these challenges!!

Good luck to everyone moving forward!

Oh Rainbow, you silly, silly girl. How could you post "...what a waste." I shared elsewhere, but here's a great article for all (courtesy of another challenge thread). The article is "Drop the Fatitude!" http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/...es.asp?id=1366

JayTee- Congrats on your amazing loss! Wishing you continued success in your boot camp challenges.

Peanutt- Your a great motivator! "Lose, gain, or maintain we remain accountable"...a hard pill for me to swallow with my disasterous weight gain recently. But I'm here to be accountable to myself, my team, and God.

I'm so ready for the next challenge! I hope everyone remembers to post their starting weight. The thread will close soon.

Congrats to all who stuck with it and completed the New Year New You challenge!

Shan - I just noticed your comments on your final weigh in. I hope all is okay with you and I'm sorry you've been facing these serious issues.

Rainbowsmiles - Did you sign up for the new challenge??

[Bigmid]

Hi everyone, I have closed off all of the threads and now the tallying begins.
Please give us a couple of days before you start looking for the results. We will post for the final WI and for the BL overall.

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who finished off this challange with us. What an awesome accomplishement.

I agree with Peanutt it doesn't matter if you gained, lost, or stayed the same you stayed with us and you held yourself accountable. That is the best thing you could ever do. Staying the course will get you to the finish line that you are looking for.

I am so proud of each and every one of us.

I am looking forward to seeing some of you in the next challange and to meeting all or our new members.

I am closing off this thread and starting a new one so that everyone can start chatting until teams get posted later this week.

Again.......AWESOME JOB EVERYONE.
