Team LIFT (a.k.a. Team 1)

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!
