OW! Hope your finger gets better soon.

Are you a professional photographer? Do you have a website? I love photography! I'm a total amateur (basic point-and-shoot stuff) but it's such a fantastic creative outlet for me.

MamaP - have a good weekend

Jackie - I hope you finger heals fast

Rochester did my answer make sence?

Well another day over and the weekend is nearing I have still been pretty bad with the whole eating thing but my water intake and my exercise are on track this week so I'm hoping the rest will soon fall back into place as well.
Off to bed have a great night everyone.

Yes, thank you.

It does seem to make things a bit unfair mathematically, though. For example, say someone records a weight of 200 for Week 14. The following week, their weight is 198, but they take a Freebie because they will be out of town and unable to record their weight. Then, in Week 16, they record a weight of 196, which is then considered a loss of 4 pounds in one week, but in fact it was a 4 pound loss in two weeks.

Or, conversely, say someone records a weight of 200 for Week 14. Then the following week, they gain up to 204, so they take a freebie. Then in Week 16, they weigh in at 198, which is considered a loss of 2 pounds, calculating from the last recorded weight. But in fact, they have lost 6 pounds in one week.

Do you see how Person A could earn the Biggest Loser title with a smaller loss than Person B? (Assuming I'm understanding this correctly.)

Congratulations to this week's losers.

QOTW:

The one food I could not live without would be breads/cereals... love my carbs!
The one food that I refuse to eat is cheese.

Have a great week everybody!

I've made it to NC and have been loving on the babies. There's been all kinds of drama with the airline - still waiting on my suitcase to arrive. It's apparently in Chattanooga Tennessee. Instead of re-typing it all, if you want to see all my posts so far about this adventure they are on page 10 & 11 of this thread - http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/100-...pt-1-a-10.html

Hope everyone has a good weekend. I will try to check in later.

Rochester - you do understand it correctly and yes someone could be the BL by having a freebie the week before but thats just how they work and it helps when you really need one. Mathamatically you could get BL status but seeing as there is no money at the end most people wouldn't use it for that reason alone. Now you add 100,000 to the mix then game on.....LOL

Muffentop - hello

MamaP - have a good time and I hope you get your bag soon

Well I finally feel good about my walk/run today as I did more running. It's amazing how out of shape you can get in less than a month. Here's hoping I stay on track. Have a great weekend everyone

Hey everyone. Another not so regular update. I missed last week's weigh in and chat thread, but I'm not giving on the losing weight. Just chatting about it. :P I've gone and thrown myself into another project, NaNoWriMo (Nation Novel Writing Month). I sucked at the chat threads before I started and it'll only get worse from now until the end, so I may stop in from time to time, but I'm giving up on being the Biggest Loser. Just the title, I'm still losing weight. Not a lot, but I'm still losing.

Good luck ladies!!! GEAUX BLUE TEAM!

Hi teammates, another bad week for me. Lots of overeating and poor food choices. I'm afraid to weigh-in tomorrow. Hope everyone else is having a better week. I wish I could be steady instead of these ups and downs that I go through. Any advice?

Yes I am. http://jackiehollowayphotography.com It is so fun. Some of my favorite stuff (non portraiture) isn't even up there. There's nothign better than finding a new place to shoot landscapes or macros, or whatever! when you are stressed out.

Thanks everyone for commenting about my finger. I didn't cut the tip completely off, so kept it bandaged, and it seems to be healing up together nicely. And I'm now able to type without too much discomfort!

MamaP I hope your bag has arrived!! My parents went throught he same thing last time they travelled. You'd think as much as you have to pay to put the luggage on the plane, they would take better care of it!

Muffen.. I can't imagine not eating cheese. I should.. but I can't. LOL

inkle.. I used to LOVE to write. Before kids. Seems like once they came along, my writing days fizzled out.

HOpe everyone is doing great!! I'm exhausted today. My weight won't be what I want tomorrow, but <sigh> It is down (I think), just not at all what I hoped. This week WILL be a BETTER week!

Hi

Inklestinkle - good to hear you still on the weight loss journey and will come post when you can. It's all about not giving up. The posting can be hard I struggled with it for a long time. Good luck with the writing.

Fitin2008 - keep with it the losses will come. I have still been bad with my eating ( tonight included ) but the exercise is ther so one obstacle at a time

Jackie - glad to hear your finger is healing. I know what you mean about the loss not where you want it to be....mine is self inflicted though. I know we can do this

I will be taking this mornings WI for tomorrow as I had Chinese food tonight so lots of bloating weight for tomorrow.

Have a great night everyone and don't forget to WI tomorrow.

We also turn back the clocks tonight for those who do. Extra hour of sleep

hey guys.. m back.. from my mini vacation.. so after 2 weeks of taking freebies and loosing nd gaining weight.. m down 1lb net lol since last WI

good luck every1

Very nice shots. Thanks for sharing your website!

Got my weight in today. Not where I wanted, but i knew it wouldn't be. But it is 2 lbs, so I refuse to feel bad. I want my big whoosh and it just isn't happening. LOL

Rochester.. TY!

Bigmid.. I really need to start my exercise back up. It's hit and miss for me. I manage it a couple times a week but that's about it.

Hi gypsy!

good luck to the blue team today!!!

Hi everyone dont forget depending what time zone you are in you may have to post your weight earlier tonight. It makes it 3 hrs difference here compared to 2
I just posted my weight on my phone and it deleted my last 2 weights so I will be fixing those later so if you see my edit time you'll know why. But I did already post today's on time
I'm off to watch a friends son play hockey so I wont be doing totals til later......but please WI on time. Thanks
Also I took the difference between yesterday loss and this mornings bloat gain to come up with my WI this week. Felt to guilty to use yesterdays.
TTYL

hey, everyone.... still no computer, it's so difficult to find one I can use...
At work they have any site considered a forum blocked, so no go.
Sorry for not posting a loss. It's been a bad week.... next week will be better.
Goodness, I barely made the cut off time today, ten minutes to go. Yipes!
