Just an idea here, I want to form a team. The purpose of this team is to provide support and encouragement of course, but also to set a goal of losing a thousand pounds together. I think about ten people will make a nice sized team. If you want to join sign in here and when you weigh report your results whether they are a gain, loss or the same. Each person when they report their loss or gain will post the amount they lost or gained and add it or subtract it from our goal. I weighed today and have a loss of:

4.9 pounds

1000-4.9= 995.1

BTW, if you want to sign up and the group is full start another one. We could have a bit of a competition then. Also, if any members of this team wish to propose a name idea that we can put in our signatures post it here and we will come to a consensus.

This is a good idea. I'd love to join. I'm only down 2 pounds today.....

995.1 - 2.0 = 993.1

I'll try to think of a name.

I'm in....I'm all for any support I can get. This morning was my weigh in day and I am down 6 Lbs from last week. (which is when I started!)

993.1 - 6.0 =987.1


Hey, who knows...something like this could get us on Good Morning America to show off our great new good looks, when we make it I suggest we shout it out loud to all of America

ok, count me in too. I've lost 2 pounds since last week.

987.1-2=985.1

I'd love to join you all! I started at 262 and still have 85 lbs to go to reach my goal of 140. I weigh tomorrow morning and will let you all know how much I'm down then.

Excellent job guys! Thanks for joining. If anyone is good with graphics perhaps we can get them to make us an avatar. In the mean time keep up the good work.

Team so far:
gachic05
myturn
wisdomom
batty
Cicero
Marebear
Missaec

Weight lost so far: 15.9

We still have room for five more members anyone is welcome.

I'll play

I am down 3 pounds this week.
985.1 - 3 = 982.1

I can make a graphic too, when we come up with a name. This is a great idea and I think if we had several teams it would be fun too. Go team!

Welcome Marebear! I added you to the list above.

982.1 all ready. Good work guys. Congrats on all your hard work. I was thinking of maybe calling ourselves Team 1000 or something like that. If you like the name let me know and Marebear can design our avatars. Our thanks to her for volunteering.

Just a side note, this thread is not just for posting your
weigh-ins. Feel free to talk about other issues you are having as well. Take care and a happy Sunday to all.

Hi I would love to join! My goal right now is 147.. for a total of 95 to lose (60.5 to go), however have been considering taking it down to 130 for a total of 112 to lose (77.5 to go). I'll stick with the 147 for the moment though.

I lost 1 pound today. Technically 2.5 because I was up to 210 for a few days, but I think it was just water. So I'm counting it from the last lowest weight I had a few days ago at 208.5. Now at 207.5.. .sooooo...

982.1 - 1 = 981.1

I really love this idea by the way.

Welcome Missaec! A pound is a pound, good work.

I would like to join too! This looks like fun. I weigh myself once a week on Monday mornings so I will come by once a week to subtract mine. I lost one pound this week .

981.1-llb. = 980.1

Wow we almost lost 20 pounds!

Orchid

Well, looks like you have room for one more person. I could really use the motivation!

My first week didn't go as well as I'd like but I did get through with only a couple of cheats, and I'm still down 2.5 lbs. That makes 977.6 (by the way, who found a scale that weighs in tenths of a lb??).

Giddiyap!

Well, I weighed this morning and I'm down 3.5 lbs! I'm so excited. Maybe I'm past my slump now. Of course cutting out the sugar alcohols and peanuts helped I'm sure.

Let's see. That brings us to.......................974.1

YEAH!

Congratulations Batty! We've already lost 25.9 lb...yay!
