Hey Guys, My name really is ALTA & I'm finally ready to lose this damn WEIGHT & become FIT!!!!!! wooooWOoooo!!! 
...My plan of attack is : CONSISTENCY with Low Carbs...I try to maintain them to a count of 30 carbs per day, for the initial faze, and then gradually increase them as I proceed. I really do not look at calorie intake and do not look at anything other than the Carbs itself...
I am planning on : 3 Meals Daily
2 Snacks Daily
Vitamins 3x a Day
Hot Green Tea - One Gallon a Day
And EXERCISE BABY!!!!
SMASH IT!!! 
...I'm EXCITED to be on this TEAM, as I know WE WILL WIN!!!

Sunday evenings (EST) works best for me!
As Alta so eloquently put it here is MY plan of attack! haha
Eat HEALTHY larger portions of fruit, veggies, whole grains and smaller portions of my one true love: fat. And by fat I mean cheese.
3 meals daily, one early evening snack
Workouts 2 hours 4-5 times a week, with 45 mins to an hour of cardio. Yoga daily after waking up for half an hour.
Only 1-2 alcoholic drinks per week.
LOTS OF WATER. TONS. GALLONS. METRIC TON. I'm going to drink at least two LARGE glasses prior to meals, and two LARGE glasses after. So far I feel like a fish, and my skin looks great!! haha
Everyone sounds like they are really doing well, let's stick with it!

Hi Team 1
My name is Karen...and I am 45 years old...
I am doing weight watchers and going to meetings on monday nights, but also using the on line tracker tools which I am finding very very helpful.
I want to lose anywhere from 50 to 60 pounds but I will settle for a little at a time and am not looking any farther than my monday weigh ins right now.
I think this is great and I am feeling pretty damn motivated....Lawd knows I need motivation..
WOOT WOOT WOOT TEAM ONE...KICK SOME BOOTAY!!!
(my small smack down today: Team two smells like poo)
hugs

Hey, Karen. Feel free to be the drill sargent. 
We're going to need some because that team 2 is motivated. They have 73 posts in their thread to our 45. We're going to have to step up our smack talk game or have our asses hung out to dry. (I can speak from experience, no one wants to see my ass hanging out )

(I can speak from experience, no one wants to see my ass hanging out )We seem to be off to a great start! How's everyone doing today food plan and exercise wise?! No going off our plan peeps!
So far so good for me. I ate 1400 calories yesterday and today I'm back to counting too. I counted calories for months at a time and I had lost a bunch of weight. After so long (and being on a plateau for about a year, after which I started gaining rather than losing) I couldn't take it anymore and honestly I've put on weight since. I always did fine without calorie counting before but I think right after you lose you easily put weight on so for a time period you've got to work HARD on maintenance too. Anyway, after a long break I'm going to calorie count for the next 6 weeks and see if I can shed some pounds the good old fashioned way.
TTYL everyone!

I just thought of something funny. I went to Scotland and Ireland for my 20 year anniversary in 2007.

Food is right on for me. I just finished dinner and I'll be hitting the gym as soon as my daughter finishes her homework
I made a nice chicken and rice dish with zucchini on the side. The rest of the night is just water.

Claudia, sorry if i missed it but I have a question about the exercise portion of the challenge. Is it an "all or nothing" challenge? Like what if someone only does 1/2 of the exercise, do they get 50 points or nothing? Just wanted to clarify that come weekly point tally time so there is no misunderstandings.

Hello my damn sexy ladies!! We're gonna win this. Team 2 ain't gonna know what hit 'em!!
I am only at 700 calories for the day. Not enough, I know. I am going to get them to 1100 with lean protein and veggies. Sean had to fly tonight so no cardio for me. I weight trained last night so tonight has to be a "rest day" for my muscles. Tomorrow I will get an hour and a half exercise which will leave me with only 75 minutes left to meet the challenges requirements for the week. I plan to get more than that though!! 1.5 hours tomorrow night and friday then another hour for saturday which will give me five hours for the week. My calories are right on so hopefully I'll see a change on the scale next week!!!
Go team!!!

I'm Jessie- 26, manage a GNC(ironic, haha!) and have ALWAYS been huuuuge. I weighed in at 266 
but that number may be off due to the fact that my scale is a pos I'm hoping for that anyway!
Goal: Eat 1500cals a day, workout hardcore the way I use to. I have high hopes for this six week challenge, and I'm pretty sure we're gonna kick team #2's butts

Thanks Alta!!!
Finished today with 1653 calories....wooooo right in my zone! Went and worked out after reading all of the MOTIVATED people in Team 1! Did 40 minutes spinning (spin HELL) and 20 minutes of walking on an incline. Also did 30 minutes of weight lifting, abs, strength yadda yadda. Feeling good!!!
Motherof2: we get 5 points for each pound lost!
Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint!! LET'S KICK ASS!
