Hello my fellow ladies!!

Anybody caving in yet? ... because if you are....

WALK AWAY FROM THE FOOOOOD!!!!!LOL

Still going strong. You know, when you give something up its interesting how creative you get. Well, we always used to eat bread in my household with all your meals. So, I have to get creative. Chocolate isn't an issue. I had my mom take the box of See's candy to work.

How is everyone doing?

I'm surprising myself! I really thought I would have caved by now!

Yeah us!

So far so good....not as tough as I thought it would be.......usually friday is the hard day for me!!!

Still going strong on both flour and sugar although yesterday I did have french fries but they weren't what I gave up. But you nothing is really worth it. It tastes good then but then I physically and sometimes emotionally feel awful later. I'm proud that I haven't even sneeked a bite of ice cream from the freezer!!

Anyone want to start an excercise bet?? I need something to get motivated to keep moving!!

[Nicoyaangel]

PED - I am totally in! That is an awesome idea!!! What do you have in mind??

[akapjthegreat]

I'm down, these bets are REALLY helping!

[pedsowk82]

PJ I love the new ticker!! I was really wanting pizza which of course has flour in it but then I saw that and I felt better and had more determination!!

For the excercise bet...I think we should all bet how many days and/or for how long we are going to excercise. then if we mess up we have to double the time or add an exra day or something. We probably will have to change what we are doing every few weeks so that we keep moving forward. What do you guys think?

[Nicoyaangel]

I like that. I see a lot of tickers where people have a certain amount of minutes that they are going to do or hours ...

[pedsowk82]

Should I start another thread then?

[Nicoyaangel]

You can do that or since this one is called you BETcha we can keep all the bets here. Im doing the The Biggest Loser challenge and what we are doing is seeing how long it takes us to get to the moon. I think thats a cute idea. Or what we did also (which I really liked) was pick a location like Oh I dunno ummm San Francisco California and say it takes this many miles to get to Boisse Idaho (example) and every minute we execised would go towards a mile so if it took 567 miles (i dunno) you would need to work out 567 minutesand the team that got thier miles done first picked the next destination so what we can do is everyone that wants to participate can agree on a location and then whomeever gets there first picks the next destination and if someone comes in late then its ok because that means they would just need to work twice as hard to catch up which means extra working out. Oh and there is a catch. Lets say PJ gets there first and Ped lets say you still have 15 miles / minutes to get there what you would do is grab the new amount of minutes and add the additional 15 minutes that you did not finish. So if the next place takes 500 minutes / miles Ped yours would actually be 515 minutes / miles. So you have to work just as hard if not harder to catch up to PJ. I dunno just a suggestion and we can keep the ticker on our signature so we can cheat and see how we are doing. lol

But if anyone else has any suggestions I have nooo problem going by their game either. Just thought it was a cute game

[WeightSmasher]

Hey I'm in just let me know when we start and how the game is going to go

[pedsowk82]

That sounds good I like that!!! Where should we start?? How about some place cold to some place warm?

[pedsowk82]

How do you feel about either of these:

Bismarck, North Dakota to Grand Canyon, Arizona = 1390 miles (more to reach for)

or

Seattle, Washington to Reno, Nevada = 751 miles (much shorter goal)

Let me know if you like either or if you want to start somewhere else!!

[akapjthegreat]

Sounds cool!

[pedsowk82]

Well when should we start? aNd which destination are we using?

I'm very excited!!!
