Subject: Weight Loss Warriors (a.k.a. Team A)
The challenge will begin June 1 and will end June 30th. Should there be enough interest to continue through July (or beyond) it will be determined at the end of the month. At the end of the month the winning team will display a signature line: "My team won the June Weight Loss Challenge and I lost XX lbs!" Everyone else will display an avatar of something that SHOULD have motivated them to lose the weight - a bikini photo, etc. They will also display in their signature line: "My team may not have won the June weight loss challenge but I did lose XX lbs." Avatars and signature lines will be displayed for the month of July. After that, it's your choice whether to leave it, or remove it. Each person has picked a weight loss goal to reach by June 30th (listed below). The team that loses the biggest percent of weight is the winner. Each Sunday individual results should be posted to this thread. Game updates will be posted on Monday in the main thread . Posting days to this thread are *June 1 (initial weight) *June 8 *June 15 *June 22 *June 29. Final results will be posted in the main thread on Monday, June 30th. Should you find you are unable to weigh in on Sunday or post your results on that day that is okay - just let your team captain know in advance. Smack talking: -- Smack talking is not mandatory, but may be done. -- Smack talk is different from a personal attack. If you aren’t sure what the difference is, err on the side of caution and do not post the comment. (Keep in mind that real people are reading your comments!) -- Smack talking is not to be taken personally. If you get upset about a post, ignore it and move on. -- If you find a post offensive, and cannot simply ignore it: Walk away from the computer until you feel better, OR better yet, go for a good workout. A hard workout does wonders for your perspective. The ultimate goal of this Challenge is to get our bodies in a more healthy state, to meet fellow BTers (virtually or otherwise), and to have some fun! Hopefully, this Challenge will give you a little extra incentive and motivation to succeed at your goals – whatever they may be. Welcome to the Challenge! Team A: dcrunningdiva: 10 lbs miche003: 6 lbs Mav: 6 lbs Javamom: 6 lbs Mesquires: 6 lb Wade (bulldog520): 10lbs Eric (gamblin): 12lbs Marcy (dodgersmom) 6lbs collielvr (Rose) 10lbs b_hendley: 8lbs Bill (flying_triathlete): 12 lbs Team A has a total of 92 lbs to lose.

My plan is to cut out as many refined carbs as I can.  Lots of fruits and veggies.  I still plan on GU and powerbars during long workouts but am not concerned about the sugars in them.  Clean eating is my goal.  I'll post starting weight tomorrow morning

Team A Rocks!!

I just need to start counting calories again. I am one of those people who doesn't eat ENOUGH and so my body holds on to every single calorie. When I start getting in the 1500-1700 calorie range my body says "Oh, I'm NOT starving" and I begin to lose the weight. I'm doing the June "Move it or Lose it" challenge and have exercise goals of:

Swim: 7 miles
Bike: 200 miles
Run: 65 miles

That is a bit of an increase from where I've been (but not too much that it is unattainable) but I'll have to focus on my calories even more so my body doesn't burn off too much and think I'm starving again.

Here's to being below 190 by June 30!!! It'll be my first time below 190 since um....well.....high school????

Totally! I thought they had more "chat activity" than we did but they have a ton of people still missing their weigh-ins!
