And Tanya, this was posted in the Meltdown thread by curlmama...

"Yes, I already sub Slimfast Optima or High Protein for the Slimdown. The diet Frappaccino doesn't have any fiber or vitamins/minerals and the Jetstart does. I think I will just purchase the Jetstart this time."

OK, I'm in for 12lbs!

A good substitute for the Jetstart is also the EAS cofeehouse drinks. They look exactly the same as the Jetstarts (square boxes). I think the nutritionals are comparable.

Challenge
 

I'm in, I'm in :jig: :jig:

Count this Newbie in ! I fell off the wagon after a few short days of being OP - but I'm ready to climb back on and get my butt in gear :-P I'm on purple plan - does anyone know what the 5wk plan would be for Purple?? I'd appreciate the help.

Forgot to say - put me down for 15 lbs ! High number, but maybe I'll work my tooshy off to reach it.

Purple is the same as gold except for protein sizes and you add one veggie. Or you can follow red but subtract one starch and 1/2 protein.

okay - I'm going to jump in on this one to. I am away all next week, and to follow perfect op will be difficult, so I am going to start June 1st. I am in for 6lbs. 1.5 per week...... I will be thrilled if I am able to do that, since I have lost and gained the same one lb for the last month.

I think I might do the meltdown, haven't decided for sure yet.

well I am feeling the peer pressure to jump on this train. but I have to change my ticker and figure out an appropriate goal

I think i'm in

Justa few questions

1. can I follow the reg plan I don't do lites so I don't do TO
2. I WI on mon, wed, and fridays so do we post our total loss on tuesdays
or do we post on WI days
3. did I understand that a new thread would be started for this just for weigh in or is also for chat

first time on a challange....so just wondering what it's all about

Dannette,
There really are no rules. You set a goal for yourself that you think you can achieve by July 4th. Make another ticker or put something in your siggy if you want to. You can just follow your regular program, you don't have to do TO or follow any specific plans unless you want to.

You can usually post losses or gains (hopefully not), whenever you want, no set days unless people want to set a day.

Cassi said she'd start a new thread and that would be for WI's and chat also. We're not too formal around here anyway.

How do you make the ticker so it starts on 0 and goes to 10 because ten pounds is my goal. every time i do it it makes me put in my starting weight, current weight and goal weight but I just want the 0-10..any ideas?

nevermind, got it!!

You guys rock!! This is exactly what I need, and perfect timing before summer is in full gear! I've been doing the eight week body makeover, but maybe I'll switch to the 5. I'll have to think on that one. Either way, I'm in for 15 pounds.

You know, I don't mind TO at all, wonder if it would be bad just to do it once every week? What do you think?

Also, it is time for me to start exercising, I need to shake things up a bit. So this challenge will put the pressure on, I don't want to be a loser loser! :D

Great to see everyone jumping on the wagon here.. Now if we could just get the other roosters involved...

Danette - If you don't do Lites, I think you can do Fast Forward instead of TO. I think that's what some others were told. And I do FF instead of TO due to my schedule. BUT... don't feel pressured to do it. I don't think I'm starting with a FF/TO. But if you feel the urge (and check w/your COD) I think you can do the FF if you wanted.

Okay guys, I am going to give this a try too.Sounds like fun...I will go in for 10lbs.
