Weight-Loss Who would be interested in a WL competition??

Weight-Loss
We don't call 345 a whopping weight here. :)
I've just calculated and your BMI is a sylphlike 43.1 :)
(My max BMI was 52 and my husband's max BMI was 62... Most people will start feeling quite slender already...)

It is well worth you pushing yourself and trying to get the full hour done. In my experience these challenges are won and lost in the work that we do to deserve the weight loss... in the exercise tasks and food control tasks.

LOL I told you that my pedometer would go higher when I did my next bit of exercise... I've been out walking again. My pedometer is now up to 25,710 steps.

Everyone should post what exercise they have done.
 
Well done Quercus.

Only 20 more minutes and you will get maximum points. If a 53 year old woman can do it - you can do it... Every minute counts...

People will drop points today by not exercising. Everyone should ask themselves if they want to be one of those people.
 
GOLD TEAM members: is there anybody else joining us on our thread? E.g. he/she would need to add score card. Or can we start chatting there (motivating each other etc)?

Just wondering. Thanks!! :) & Go us!

We got a new team member today - Anna - who hasnt had a chance to copy in her scoresheet. We certainly need to wait for her.

After that - it depends what is happening with San.

San is a mod who logs onto the forum every day. She hasnt responded to any messages yet and hasnt made any postings yet this year.

It may be that she has decided not to play in the challenge. I do not know whether she has said anything to Korrie.

If she does decide to play she will be a valuable team member for our team. I know that she lost well over one hundred pounds when I was last on the forum. She has excellent weight loss experience and is a strong challenge player... I believe that she regained some of her lost weight which is something that I did myself.

In all honesty - I have no problem in us chatting in this thread. We can motivate each other as well here as there and we would be deluding ourselves if we thought that the GOLD team thread was somehow more private as far as the other teams seeing our strategy.

To be quite honest - the strategy that will win this challenge is the same as on any other challenge. All we need to do is work harder than the other teams.

It would be very surprising if all the members on all the teams maximise their exercise points. Equally surprising if they maximise any nutritional (or other) bonus points. Any team that does has a definite advantage which can help if weight losses are not all that people would hope for.

The excellent thing is that weight loss is directly linked to firm food control and a strong exercise routine. The chances are that the team that has maximised those points will have pretty decent weight loss too.
 
I never heard back on my PM to San. I would say we could start posting in our thread if she isn't around by Saturday AM. She could still join she'd just be down the thread a bit.

Korrie, as a mod can she insert a post mid-thread?

Yea, I agree Quercus, go ahead and start posting. She knew the challenge started today. No, I dont' believe she can post mid thread, have never seen it done.

She can however edit someone else's post (for instance Korrie's heading post or Quercus's initial chatting post) to slot a scoresheet noticeably entitled "San's scoresheet" right up at the top. OK - it wouldnt have her avatar next to it.

Alternatively (something that I have done on another diet forum), a recent posting of San's on another thread and subject altogether can be copied by a mod into this thread. The only problem is that it pre-dates Korrie's initial posting so would go right at the very top. San would then be able to modify that removing the original content and putting a scoresheet there. This is something that I did because the person could modify it even though they were not a mod.
