Do we all need a pep talk or what?!

Collectively, out of the 27 people that weighed in (10 people are MIA) we lost:

1.3lbs

Hmmm... At least we KNOW we can do better next week!

Okay, to answer some pending questions, here are my ideas going forward:

1. Next week Monday is on February 1st. We will STILL WEIGH IN ON MONDAY for consistency's sake.

2. After everyone weighs in, I will post January's collective results. Teams and individual progress will be posted in order of percentage lost.

3. A new weigh in thread will be started for February. We will continue for a 12 week period.

Any suggestions will be graciously appreciated. I think it's been going pretty well so far - as far as the reporting and recording goes.

Your ideas sound good to me...

Week#4 must be better!!!!!!

LOL..I think we need a Biggest Loser style beating! Let's challange ourselves to stick to our calorie limits with healthy foods and sweat like men!

Great ideas mortonpixie. And THANK YOU for organizing this!!

Cmon' Chicks! Let's do this! So many of us have already lost so much already. We know it's possible. We know how to do this. Why are we not doing it??

I saw on the 300lb board that they post and tally exercise minutes. Maybe we should do that, too? I am not sure that it would need to be incorporated into the BL challenge, but it might help for some accountability?

I want this. I want all of the things that come with weight loss success. And I want it for all of you, too! Maybe we should spend some time thinking about why we are in this battle in the first place? Why do you want to lose weight? I think we already have a thread for that? Let's use it!

I was debating on whether to post this... but I will. Bob's freakout to Joelle from season 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YsP7mb5R4c

Is that enough of a Biggest Loser-style beating?

I've written my calories down for the morning so far and I'm headed off to the gym in 1/2 an hour for an hour.

C'mon ladies... let's make week 4 much much better!!

Week 4 and the final week in January! Many seemed to find TOM visit already this past week so no excuses, yeah? Let's KICK SOME BOOTY right off....

Let's kick some booty girls (& guys if there are any)

Can't wait to see our results next week.

Pixie, you're cool. Thanks so much for all the time you spend putting things together. Seriously, these boards run through my head all the time. Those Monday weigh-ins have kept me accountable numerous times. You kind of rock. OK, You really rock.

Oh yeah that'll do! I watch this on youtube when I need my butt kicked into gear!! It's one of my faves!

LOL...besides Bob is seriously HOT! Come to mama! So he can yell at me all he wants!

I love Bob too!!! lol He could train me any day and I wouldn't complain.

Aw, thanks for the affirmation! Today has been a terrible day and reading this was like seeing a warm smile!

Ok...this week will be my TOM...but I will promise this. I will make it to the gym this weekend!!! I will start walking at least 3 miles each night.
I have to do this for myself & my daughter. She is 7.5 y/o and weighs 88 lbs. (I started a thread about this a month ago)
We are going to be more active together!!! I can only control OUR world.

Bob just doesn't do it for me.
Now Mark Harmon... he's more than welcome to yell at me.

Dwayne Johnson. I like em a little darker.
