I didn't see any other posts from team 4, so I just started one. Hope it's okay!

Team 4:
Elmark
Shrinkerbell
Ang
curveegrrl
rubyinparadise

Can't wait to get this started! Let's win!!!!!! (or loose)

[pammie]

hi there team 4!

Elmark, I am checking in for curveegrrl, she does not have access to a pc now while on vacation from work.


Now the rest of team 4...where are you all?? come out and play!!

[Ang]

How did you guys know what team you're on? :confused

I just happened to peek at this post and see my name...

[Slim74]

I'm a loser, I'm a loser!!!! Hi guys!! I am so psyched up about this - I am going to lose 60 pounds between January and July. I am so glad that we are all here to support each other!

GO TEAM 4!! Let's make losing look good!

[Elmark]

Ang.....from the Sticky Pammie made: "New Year resolution Challenge Teams"

It took me some time to find it too!

Great to see you all! We are going to be winners.....I just noticed that the goals are:

*the team that keeps the most newbies
*the team that loses the biggest percentage of what they have left to lose as of Jan. 11th.
*the team that loses the most inches between janl 11th and july 1st.

And we have to measure:

*fullest part of bust
*waist
*hips

So girls, how much do you have left to loose??? I'm thinking 80 pounds until I am at goal.
How about you guys???

[Ang]

So girls, how much do you have left to loose??? I'm thinking 80 pounds until I am at goal.

My goal lays somewhere between 50 - 100 more lbs. I'm juggling between them, herego the fluctuating counter. Perhaps I'll pick the happy medium?
Nah, let's go for the full 100 more lbs. Heck, I'm just thinking out loud... aim high, right?

Hello all! :wave

Here's an updated list:

• Team 4:
  Elmark
  Shrinkerbell
  Ang
  curveegrrl
  rubyinparadise
  slim74
  piasabird

At this time, I need to lose 80 lbs. to reach goal. But, it's my understanding that we're not starting until the 11th. Right?

[Elmark]

Piasabird;

80 pounds, just like me! woohoo!

Yeah, I think the 11th. is the official startdate! Do you think you will loose much by then???

[Piasabird]

Yeah, I think the 11th. is the official startdate! Do you think you will loose much by then???

Well, I wish we were starting sooner.

I've had problems with stick-to-it-ness in the past. I figure joining this group will help me in that department. I cut my carbs down considerably after Christmas, but I haven't gone to induction levels yet. So, I guess I will do that starting on the 11th. I also started exercising yesterday, which will speed things up. I will kick that up a notch at the start date, also.

So, are you our captain on this team, Elmark?

[Ang]

So, I guess I will do that starting on the 11th.

Why wait? Think of how much good you ould do your body between now and then!

Well, I have started already, but we're not getting any credit for it as far as the challenge goes. It's more for our own personal satisfaction. And that's a good reason. I figure I'm already going to have a head start on some good habits.


I copied and pasted this from Pammie's thread just so we'd have it in ours to remind us;

OK, lets keep this challenge simple.
there are 3 big winning teams.
the team that keeps the most newbies
the team that loses the biggest percentage of what they have left to lose as of Jan. 11th.
the team that loses the most inches between janl 11th and july 1st.

And here are the measurements that we are suppose to take and post in our thread on the 11th. of January;

inches will be 3 measurements only
fullest part of bust
waist
hips

I can't wait to get started!!!

[Shrinkerbell]

I found you! I'm ready to be a big loser and supporter for my team!

Quick question: What are we defining as "waist"? I always thought it was at the belly button, but mybodycomp.com says it's above the belly button at the thickest part of the torso. Hmm.

[Elmark]

Team Captain??? Me???? I don't think I have the right hat for it..... ensive

Should we have a captain???

Hey! Ang is right.....why not just get started. We don't have to wait, do we???


And another thing; Should we be "the loosers" or should we change our team name???

[Curveegrrl]

Hey Hey!!! I'm here and ready to lose! Where do we measure, and how do we win?? Wait, is that Pammie running towards me with a big stick? Ooooh. I'll just scroll up then.

So I'm cheking in from Pammie's computer and her swank new massage chair that she got today in the sales. Helloooo comfort! It's probably for the best that she's not on a team, as she'll never exercize again with this chair in her life. Eek, here she comes at me again! My point is I won't be able to check in so often until I go back to work, but the contest doesn't really get into full swin until after that, so don't panic.

Anyhoodle, I'm all set to drop weight like nobody's business. Only we're going to make it everone's business, aren't we. Gah. The swank new chair came with a swank new scale too, that tells me way more about myself than I ever wanted to know. It's a tad depressing, but it's only going to get better, right??? RIGHT???

hey gang 2BIG sneaking in with her eyes closed so I don't read your top secret plans to win the challenge to invite y'all to join the new exercise challenge for CC memeberes http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ic.php?t=60792

We know that exercise is a mandatory part of our Atkins program but sometimes those aliens with those thought control rays of there steer us off course. Come break free of that alien antiexercise mind rays.

Happy Atkins low carbing to y'all
