I had a great big long reply that I was going to put in but deleted it and decided to try and be the bigger person.

I am sorry that I ran out of time and I should not have posted the WI results until I had a chance to do the whole thing.

The results were just for final WI I don't know yet who won as a team so it wasn't posted.

Next time I will wait until I have hours to put together the whole list then I will post.

Notice: Team Announcements will be made by 5/25.

I'm still waiting to hear from the following people:
maguilar8
Txgirl487
Gloriann
wuv2bloved

I have already sent pm messages so please get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks so much!

Quick question - will this challenge be about the same length as the new year one?

Hi, I'm Christine, 36, married with 2 kids (5 and 7 years), and 3 dogs. This has been my first ever attempt at losing weight.

This is my first time participating in a TBL challenge, and I'm hoping I do well for my team!

Hello! :D

My name is Shanae. I'm 24 and live in Southeastern Colorado. I am a single mother of two boys, Austin 4 and Dylan 2. I started this journey at 217.8 pounds in January 2011 and am now weighing in at 187.6. My goal is 135 pounds. I gave myself a really relaxed goal of having this accomplished by next January. I've been losing weight by calorie counting and exercise at home...dvd's, my DDR game, walking and pulling my sons in their wagon. This is my first true attempt to lose weight. I feel awesome...have had a ton of support from family and friends and the amazing people here at 3 Chicks! Excited to do this challenge! :carrot:

Hi All,
I've been on 3FC for about a month now and am very excited to be joining this challenge. It looks like past competitions have helped keep others on track. I've done well keeping myself accountable for a few months now but I know I could use the encouragement and support of a team.
I'm hoping my personal competitive side will take over and add a whole other level of fun to my get healthy in 2011 process.
Good luck to everyone and I look forward to chatting with you. :)
