The flowers and blossoms are filling the air with the smells of Spring. This is the time to start preparing for the Summer. Are you ready to join a Challenge? The Biggest Loser Challenge is looking for members for it’s next Challenge starting the first week of June. The challenge consists of 11 Teams, that participate in 10 weeks of Nutritional and Fitness Challenges. These challenges can be modified to fit individual needs, allowing members of all abilities and dietary needs to participate.
Here are some of the members comments written on a Survey Monkey poll:
“It helps me stay focused on my goals. It also keeps things interesting and not boring.”
“I find that the challenges make me be more cognizant of my food intake, better choices etc. The fitness ones encourage me to try new exercises and to keep doing exercises. I think there is a good possibility I wouldnt do as much if I didnt track it for challenges or tried to do better on challenges”
“My leaders are all wonderful...they stay in touch with team members and do their best to keep us involved and feeling a part of the team.”
“They motivate me to eat healthier and to be more active. “
If you would like to be a member of this challenge you can copy and paste the the link below, or click on my username and leave me a message or click on the BLUE BIGGEST LOSER Icon on my page.

Hi--Thanks for the message on my page! To save my wrists (tendonitis) I pasted much of my message from the intro on team. I have been juicing for several months ....... (Greendrinks) ................ My DH and I have seen emoticon health results! .......... Both his and my Doctors' have commented and taken notice w/ so many changes! ........... I am not fasting ......... But for one: My breakfast is no longer a large meal ........... is not necessary w/ the completeness of the drink. A typical drink made first thing looks like:
Kale--Spinach--1 rib celery 1-2 organic carrots handful of watercress baby bok choy Blueberries/ one banana Chia seeds 2 Tbs. Flax oil 1 scoop brewers yeast cover w/ ice water
I absolutely LOVE organic grapefruit juice!!! ............. So I add approx. 1 Cup and a chunk of Ginger ........... AFTERNOONS: (esp on a hot day) ......... I love to make : Organic carrots Pineapple small amt greens Opt: apple Grapefruit juice and generous amt. ginger It is so tangy and refreshing!
I am amazed at how daily juicing (green drinks) curb appetite and I no longer want a lot of things I used to like! .......... same for hubby! I am looking forward to meeting anyone who has like interests ........ ....... One more thing ............ Ok to add as friends? . Have a great weekend! .......... Jan

Hi I also was on another juicing team and I saw you left for a more 'active' team ................ I had hoped it would 'pick up' and it has not .............. so I just joined this juice fasting team .................. a little compulsive of me as I usually check them out. I juice daily w/ green drinks ............... am wondering if it is strictly fasting .............. or some juicers who do eat some meals too. Would like to connect w/ people where I have common interests. Hope you like this team ............. 2725 days ago
