welcome diva!

Count me in!

I love biggest loser! I"m new to the forum and would love an additional motivation to lose some of this weight! I can't wait until the show starts and plan on tracking my weight and workouts, etc. right along with them.

I am hoping to be in Onederland by Halloween so maybe I'll pledge to try to reach 195 by the end of the biggest Loser Challenge! :carrot:

well then mel....welcome cuz thats exactly the plan is to do what they do!(using indiv. chosen plans tho)

if anyone has a cable internet connection...THE FIRST 20 MIN OF TBL ARE ONLINE!!! I JUST WATCHED...HOLY COW!

note: we will be going into teams just like the real BL. The names on each team will be posted on the official challenge thread the evening of tuesday the 19th at which time all other BL threads will be closed so that all challengers are in one place....so the last oppty to join in will be monday 9-18.:)

I posted at your WW post as well. I just want to know more about this. What will be required. Do we follow the plan on the show? Aim for certain goals daily/weekly/monthly?? How long does this go??

I have never seen the show before but plan on watching this season. I will most likely tape it and watch while on the treadmill during the days following. Is it always a two hour show?

seeing if my ticker is working :)

hiya cj welcome!
im sorry i didnt know you didnt watch. lemme see if i can explain a little bit. the ppl get divided into two teams red and blue. they get weighed every wednesday to see how much weight they collectively lose. we will be doing it the same way but for us we stick to whatever plan you choose, iim guessing you chose ww? we weigh in every wednesday to keep accountable and stay motivated. i think its a 8 week or a 12 week thing im not sure i just know its starts on wed. its usually 1 hr.

ok now im the confused one... CJ: did you change your sreename from CEEJAY? or is that another person?

Ok I love the show it keeps me going to . Somthing to get nibts tips seeing other work hard to. QUESTION now what forum am going to find this WW BL or exercise when it comes to the 20th

welcome guys!
tue night im putting a single thread in the big loser forum located under exercise and this thread will be closed.

http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=184
heres where the new thread will go:) ill also post a direct link to the new thread right here bf asking suzanne to close it up.

Yes! I am mucho interested. Just let me know the details and I'm in.

hi fed! nice to meet you:)
this should help:

the ppl get divided into two teams red and blue. they get weighed every wednesday to see how much weight they collectively lose. we will be doing it the same way but for us we stick to whatever plan you choose, iim guessing you chose ww? we weigh in every wednesday to keep accountable and stay motivated. i think its a 8 week or a 12 week thing im not sure

guess what guys?
we are gonna have bigger teams than the REAL TEAMS! isnt that awesome!?

That IS awesome!

I went to watch that 19 minute preview. Pretty cool show it looks like. My tv scheduler thing says this week and next week are two hours????

So........all WE do is weigh in each Wednesday??? No challenges here to go along with the show?? I would like to know how long this is going. I think that is important before I am signed up.

BTW....I am CJISME and that is all I am registered as here.

Why did you just not hold this challenge at the WW board?? Just curious.

Andrea
I'm still ceejay so there must be another cj.

Please count me in too. I have been reading the BL book over the past week and plan on incorporating some of the eating and exercise info. into my current plan.

Suzanne

tok cj and ceejay thanks for clearing up that mix up.

its 2 months i think. 2 hrs 2 weeks? awesome!!

challenges: if anyone can find a way to do em online.....im game!

would anyone have issues w pm'ing me starting weights so i can post start totals as a team the way they do? i thought itd be fun but i could be wrong.
i did post in ww board but no interest. n there wasnt much interest on the bl board either....weird! watch theyll all want in on the bl board after it stars oh well. tomm is last sign up day bc tue night im posting teams on the official thread n once im done im done:)

welcome bobby!
as of this minute, there are 24(poss 26) (i had 2 ppl sayin they wanted in on the board put out by ww but dunno if they realize its on here so they may bk out)! and from what the clip said 13 on the real team?

ok i just had a thought about challenges... whatya think about doping mini challenges in terms of say which team/indiv. does the most cardio or something like that?

I think that doing mini challenges would motivate everyone to keep going to reach their goals. Would we change them each week?
Two more days until the show starts. I am arranging my schedule so I can watch it. I can't wait. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. I was actually losing weight when it was on. I guess being able to see the struggles that someone else is going through helped to moviate me to work hard at losing weight. If that makes sense.
Have a great Monday everyone!
Kerry

hey kar!
yep im open to doing anything that is do-able online so toss syour ideas out there guys!
as of this minute, we have 26!

yes i'm in! please count me in on the biggest loser challenge! i am a weight watchers member so i will be following the w.w. plan and my weigh in day is already wed. so that works out perfectly! my current weight is 175lbs...

welcome skrog!:)

ok im makin a prediction: i predict that when the show airs, ppl will see the thread in the bl forum and want in.... but, itll then be too late!
im glad to have a ww aboard-actually there are a sm few..

Hey ladies!! two more days!!!
Are we all going to post our stats on wednesday??

Please include me on a team.

Andrea - I think that including starting weights is a great idea. An option would be for people to PM you if they don't want to post their starting weight. I agree that challenges will be fun. We could use various things, such as:

- journal 7/7 (even the BL book recommends journalling)
- drink 8+ glasses of water 7/7
- post exercise goals and have to update for meeting them each day

Another idea (that I am stealing from another forum I lurk on) is to start each month with a certain number of points each (i.e. 75). Each day we have to update the same post for whether or not we stuck to our (a) exercise plan (b) food plan. Each time you don't stick to your plan you lose a point - you also lose a point for not updating your post each day. I think this keeps things interesting with lots of updates happening throughout the challenge. The key is to continuously update the same post so that thread does not get too long.

Just some thoughts.

great ideas bobby! i dont expect ppl to post weight if they want they can pm. i just think its cool to add everyones weight and post a number and then post totals weekly.

welcome ter!

thanks meagan! if you like you can pm it to me..i wanna post one big weight for the 2 teams

ty ceejay!:)

get ready guys!!!!!!!!

Hi girls!! :wave: sign me up also!!! Since the July I've been waffling around with the same weight +/- and now's the time to get serious. I initially lost some weight, but def. need to lose some more. My mantra is NO MORE EXCUSES!!! I've seen some of you on the boards already, so its nice to meet you again and make some more new friends.

Andrea.....fill me in as to what we need to post as for stats. I think I read a link for a bio....:carrot:

I am interested in joining!
