Hey team 5!!
Sorry I didn't get this thread started this morning but thanks to Kim for doing so!!
I just wanted to check in and say hi and welcome!! I am so excited for this challenge, I can sure use the support!
Any ideas for a team name or avatar? I'd love to hear some since I'm normally not very creative
I will check back in and post more later on this afternoon (once the little ones are down for nap )

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

[angelgirljen]

Here's an idea for a team cheer!


WE'RE TEAM 5
WE'RE STAYIN' ALIVE.
THIS LOSS IS OVERDUE,
WE'LL LOSE MORE THAN YOU!

[NewYorkGiants32]

Hello fellow team 5 members!! Just checking in...will be brainstorming for an avatar and cheer ideas!

[NewYorkGiants32]

A possible idea for a tem name (hopefully this will not offend)

"We're Bringing Sexy Back"

Like a play off of Justin Timberlake's song (that's the song that motivates me to get up and exercise)

[NewYorkGiants32]

One more idea for a team cheer...then I am off to clean!!

We 're team five and about to attack
That's not a promise but a fact
In six short months no more talking smack
We WILL have brought our sexy back.

I do too!! I only have about 15 lbs to lose so I will lose slower than you all do but I am ready for the challenge...I am at a stall right now and really need something to get me going again.

Where is the rest of the team?

[NewYorkGiants32]

I have no idea if I did this right, so please forgive me if it did not go through....just a possible idea for an avatar.

[dointhis4me]

Here's the avatar you posted, I think it's great!

[NewYorkGiants32]

Thanks! Half the time I do not know what I am doing on here.

I like the avatar if it could be bigger, so we could see the words, but I have no idea how to do that. Personally, I like the idea of some cute girly borderline "sexy" graphic for our avatar...but I have odd taste!

[dointhis4me]

Hey ladies! Sorry I wasn't able to get back on for more then a few seconds here and there. It's been rather hectic around here today
I promise tomorrow I will be around more and I will hunt down the rest of our team members!

[dointhis4me]

Good Morning everyone!!

I just wanted to let you all know I sent PMs to members that haven't checked in yet to let them know where we were. I think I actually PM'd one or two of you that have checked in already so you can just ignore it, lol.

I was unable to PM lisalisab, I guess she doesn't have enough posts so maybe I'll post something to her in the ML later on today

[meeha]

Good Morning All,
Running in really quick to check in got the PM (thanks!) I'm feeling Bringing Sexy Back and the avatar.

I'll try to come back a little later this morning is starting off crazy for me!

[dointhis4me]

I took a shot at creating an avatar....

[NewYorkGiants32]

Oh I like it!

[mac24312]

Good morning All..I like that aviator Holly...That is how I feel after losing over 100 pounds..we can all do this!! Catch up with you all later..

HUGS

A word from Cleo.....

Between my back (I threw it out somehow and am downing Tylenol like Pez) and my computer being kerploot, I want to warn against bringing in any new members. That throws the team weight loss aspect wayyyyy off, and I spent literally hours trying to even out teams when I capped us at 80.

Please spread the word:

My computer is kerploot right now, I am under a vast deadline by my adorable editor at Examiner.com, and I am using a system older than my underwear to do what I'm doing now.

I have not left, and the challenge will commence as expected. Please sign no more people to this challenge unless you, as team leader, understand that you are responsible for keeping track of every member's numbers and stats.

And know that it throws the weight loss competition off unless instead of going by total weight we go by averages instead.

So hang in there, admit no new members (sorry, guys, but I did cap at 80 to keep y'alls sanity) and know that, as expected, there will be a commencement post for our first week this coming Sunday.

Sorry for not being here this week! Say a [prayer for my laptop, which I am redubbing a Craptop.

[NewYorkGiants32]

Where is everyone?????? We need to start "Bringing Sexy Back!!"

[dointhis4me]

Hey Team 5,

Looks like xBeyondtheBeautyx has decided to join another team so that leaves us with....

* dointhis4me 22 to lose /0 lost /22 pounds to go!
angelgirljen 80 to lose/ 0 lost/ 80 pounds to go!
NewYorkGiants32 50 to lose /0 lost / 50 pounds to go!
meeha 30 to lose/0 lost/ 30 pounds to go!
mac24312 15 to lose /0 lost/15 pounds to go!
lisalisab 29 to lose/ 0 lost/ 29 pounds to go!-STILL WAITING TO CHECK IN
beautifulme 73 to lose/ 0 lost/ 73 pounds to go!!-STILL WAITING TO CHECK IN

So how is everyone else doing? I am planning to do some major grocery shopping this weekend and start on back on strict induction and move up the ladder. I have been stalled for the loggest time and it's so frustrating I am at a point where calories count and I HATE counting calories

Any more ideas for an avatar or do we want to use the one of ones we have? Are we all in agreement with "We're Bringing Sexy Back" being our team name?

Well I hope everyone has a great night, I'll check back in later or possibly in the morning!

[NewYorkGiants32]

LoL...So we only have five of us???? Well.....if no one checks in before Sunday, maybe you can take some of the newbies from other teams. Some of them have 14 people on a team?!?!?!?!

I am very tempted to screw up my diet today, so far so good, but the temptation is there...AGH!!!!

Personally I LOVE our team name...it is different, it is unique, not cheesy, know what I mean? As for the avatar....I do not know, I would like to see a few other choices then decide...yes??

I still cannot figure out to do this.

[mommy2one]

Holly, I just have to say that your avatar is very inspiring and motivating.
I want to be like Holly!

Keep up the good work.
