Janice,

I have looked over the lists for both the Red team and Blue team. I don't see your name on either one. Did you sign up for the Biggest Loser New Year New You challenge before December 26th? If not, I am sorry the groups are now closed. We may be starting a new round after this one ends in March. Be sure to be on the look out for the sign ups for that one.
