Spirited Underdogs - Private Team - part 6 - no more room :(

Thursday, September 08, 2011

Well, we now have 562 members in the Fall 5% Challenge so I am expecting the team to go private :(

Happy Losing!!

**edit: the Fall 5% Challenge has now been closed.

Let me know and I will make sure you get invited to the 2011 Winter 5% Challenge!
I am not a leader so I cannot invite anyone to join the team late. Sorry if you missed this challenge but in about 3 months we will be doing it again!!

    Enjoy the challenge!

After 2.5 years of sparking, I'm doing my first challenge -- BLC 17. It has been more fun than I ever imagined! I'm thankful that they have a maintenance group who participates in the challenges, but don't have points counted against them for not losing.

I'm guessing that your 5% doesn't refer to weight loss, unless they have a MOM (Masters of Maintenance) group, too! You're looking great!

    I'm going to spend some time thinking about how I'm going to approach the Fall Challenge. My work schedule will be picking up as we head into the fall and the holidays so it will rquire a little more time planning. Will probably not be online as much as I have been able to be during the summer but looking forward to another great challenge with the SUDs
