Hello everyone! I am Angela and the team leader for the Blue Team in the Red v. Blue Challenge! I know there are several different posts out there, so I will try and incorporate all of that info on this post.
First, if you are not on my buddy list for some reason, please send me a request so that I can add you. Some of the info might be sent via Bulletin, and I don't want anyone to miss out.
We will weigh in every Sunday and determine which team (blue!) has won. To do this, please try to commit to sending me your weigh in numbers as early as possible on Sunday so that Wonderwoman and I can get them tallied up.
Although I hope that everyone who joined the group will stay with us, PLEASE get with me if you want/need to quit for some reason. Hopefully it will be something we can all work through together (I'm sure we have all had bad days/weeks and wanted to avoid the scale) but if you are sure about not wanting to participate, it would help to know as soon as possible so that we can work something out with the other team for the weigh in. This is a group effort, and many if not all of us will be very working hard, so please keep that in mind.
I will try my best to get on here at least once a day, and hopefully each of you can do the same. I am a single parent and full time law school student so I know what its like to be busy, but I'm also devoted to a healthy life style and to making this team work.
As far as goals, if you would like to come up with team goals or just post your own personal goals to help keep you motivated then feel free to do so. We can also post any interesting weight loss info or words of encouragement to help each other out.
Finally, when you weigh in, round the number up or down to a whole number please.
Also----*****Each member of the losing team has to write a blog stating why the other team is superior and why they were losers***
I'm looking forward to beating the Red Team with you!! Below is the most recently updated list of team members:
Angela (290) Mike (271) Katie (160) Juanita (325) Marie (313) Misty (246) Weezie (184) Tasha (159) Allie (160) Angelica (???) Betsy (210) Diane (264) Holly (162) Tina (240)

I think it would be cool to have a team goal. Maybe everyone can \"pledge\" how much they think they can lose (1-2lbs) and we can add them up and have a team goal. What does everyone think?

I pledge 2 lbs!

YAY!! I pledge 2 lbs too!

I know this is the blue team forum, but I just want to seriously wish everyone luck in this challenge. In our efforts to kick the other teams butts, we are doing this for ourselves and in the big scheme of it all, we are all in this together. Best of luck to all of you, and I\'m looking forward to next Sundays Royal Spanking. Royal Blue, that is! Peace Out....

Well, I put Isabella down for bed while ago. Sat down and seen that another episode of Seinfield was coming on, Nick was still working. I was just sitting there doing nothing. All of a sudden all my blue team buddies popped into my head. So, Although I had already gotten in my goal of cardio for 30 minutes, and my 60 crunches (as well as 10 girly push ups) earlier today - I pulled out my DDR platform! I did it for a little more than 30 minutes. I pictured all my buddies there with me, I forgot about the fact that I have gained 80 lbs since I played DDR, I forgot about the fact that my new exercise shoes haven\'t been broken in. I sweated my butt off! This competition is exactly what I needed. It\'s going to be so much easier since I changed my eating habits last week and I find that to be easy.

I pledge 3 lbs, but I\'m going to do my best to lose more. I\'m one of the few who have a lot to lose and you guys are counting on me!

GO BLUE!!!!

Great job Marie!!!!!! [IMG]http://72.52.165

I will go with 2 pounds for myself.
Personal goals are to keep calories under 1700, drink 132 oz. of water daily and exercise for 30 minutes every day.
