Alright! Here goes! Post your weight, and your individual goals. This week's group challenge is NO CHOCOLATE!
Jana: 132.5 Weekly Weight Goal: Lose 1 pound. Exercise Goal: 200 minutes. Eating: Normally I'll be doing South Beach but probably not this week.
Meredith: 166.4 (vacation ruined me!) My personal goal/challenge for the week is to stay on South Beach and to lose 1.5 to 2lbs. Jana...I modified the post...sorry. I suppose I volunteer to be the blog posting person or whatever.
Eric: 223 He hasn't come up with a personal goal, so I will make it for him....to go to rugby this week.
Karen: 178 (the summer ruined me!) Challenge: I will run for 5 minutes on the treadmill at least once this week. I will lose 2 lbs. I will be doing my Low sugar & carb, high protien plan like last time, and taking the Pine oil capsules that Christines says help her lose.
Christine: 181.2 This week's goal: eat at LEAST 5 servings of fruits and veggies every single day. Exercise 360 minuts. (christine can you design another page for us to print and keep track of our stuff? i really used that a lot and need one for this time around. you're such a good daughter!) Yes I can design another one, what should I put on it? Like the other one...daily excercise, the weekly challenge and weight, and our own challenge.

Big dork here. I can't figure out how to edit this post so I can add in my goals (albeit almost a week late!).I'm staying in hotels for the next 2 weeks and was in one last week. My food is basically provided for me. I didn't check this blog until today so I will do the no chocolate this week in addition to the new challenge.I DID exercise 3 times in the hotel fitness center!!! I'm not up to 50 minutes but I could probably get there this week. Oh, and I can't count on the scales at these hotels (the last one said I weighed 230!!) So, for now my weigh in will have to be on Sundays. But I know that doesn't matter to anyone and you're wondering why I'm telling you so much:-)I have an old picture of me when I wanted to lose weight (beware...it's scary) that I'll post when I find it.Current weight 215Goal weight 14075 lbs!!!!And my other goal is to fit into the fitted Hawaiian mu`u mu`u temple dress that I had made in 1995. On a side note, a 34 B would be lovely but I'll settle for a C.I bought a pedometer so 10,000 steps a day is my daily goal as well-beginning next week when it arrives.Smiles, Fave

Too many rules?
I was just looking at the things I put as possible rules and am wondering if it is too many things for us to post. Do you want to post the individual goals? Challenges for yourself? And does someone want to volunteer to be the .....webmaster or whatever you are who figures it all out like Christine did? (Christine?) I am not quite smart enough on the McPuter to do it.
IF we are posting our own goals, then my first one is:
Challenge: I will run for 5 minutes on the treadmill at least once this week.
I will lose 2 lbs.
I will be doing my Low sugar & carb, high protien plan like last time, and taking the Pine oil capsules that Christines says help her lose.
And that's my stuff.

OK! I have tried twice to post this as a comment and I keep boo-booing on Bonnie's Mac so now I will attempt my own Post.
How about 1.5 lbs per person per week for the next 4 weeks (till Christine's b-day). And 50 min. minimum exercise 5 days per week. This adds up to 42 lbs and (get this!) 7000 minutes of exercise. We still report lbs lost and minutes each week. Who would like to issue the first challenge to us all? First Come first served .
Any changes ?

Let's Get This Party STARTED!
Alright people, when are we doing this??? I was thinking of starting next Tuesday, with Karen being out of town and all. What do you think???
I like the weigh-ins on Tuesday, because that seems to be the best day for me weight-wise! It's just enough time for me to recover from the weekends...

Me too
OK, I need to get in on this. My goal won't be to lose weight, but I need to start exercising again and go back on some semblance of the South Beach Diet even though I REALLY don't want to! I think my mysterious energy deficiency and nausea may be coming from my eating habits :::sigh::: so I need to try to fix that.

Our Idea
Eric and Mer here...
We don't think that there should be a cash prize at the end.
We think that this round shouldn't be about competing, but rather working towards a goal together as a team. Meaning we all win, or we all lose.
We can have some sort of group reward at the end if we meet the goal, and if we don't, maybe some sort of consequence. But either way, it would be small and not a big deal.
We've discussed this with Mom and she agrees with us and likes our ideas.

The New Biggest Losers 3
The time has come for us to start a new Biggest Loser contest! We are excited to begin again because we NEED to begin again! We still have flab we want to say good-bye to and muscles we want to build up and show off! We all should say (as Dad/Don does every time he lifts weights :) " I AM STWONG!!" OK, this just HAS to be our new motto ! I have talked to Meredith & Eric & Christine and these are the ideas we have come up with so far. Please let us know what you think in a new post!
1. Weekly weigh-in and minutes exercised
2. We will set group goals of pounds to lose to achieve by 3 birthdays: First Christine's, August 26, then Mom's, September 18, and Mer's, October 24th which will be the ending date of the contest. For instance, If there are 6 people, we decide we want to lose 15 lbs by the 26th. That's 2 each and a few more we hope some of us will achieve.
3. We will each post our own Weekly Goal . i.e. the first week my goal is to lose 2 lbs and exercise for 300 minutes. Posting it for all of us to see should make us more determined to achieve our goal! AND our own personal challenge, like... One time this week I will run for 10 minutes (that would be 3 times longer than I have done this). So whatever YOU choose.
4. We will each post our diet plans at the begining. It is important to know what you will eat because we have discovered it really doesn't work to say "I'll eat more healthy" or something generic like this. You need a real plan like "low carbs" or "Low fat" or "South Beach" or "High Protien" . However you want to do it.
5.We will have Weekly CHallenges which we will take turns choosing. (most water, no sugar, most minutes exercising etc.)
4. AND WE WANT MONEY AT THE END! How about we charge $20 per person again and Dad and I will put in $100. We could say Winner take all OR have a first and second place OR wait and see if our totals are so close that we need to divvy it up between the Biggest Losers.
I will handle the money and will want it sent in soon. We hope to start this week so chime in with your opinions quickly!
Let's make this work and start getting STWONG!
