That is a good idea. Unfortunately I usually have to purchase one for myself cause my husband just doesn't get it.

Ok, for those of you who are counting calories. Have you seen this thing.

I don't know anything about it but I saw it and thought, how interesting.

I've been doing much better with the keeping up with the points this week but after stepping on the scales it looks like I may actually be up a bit. What's with that?

Hi there! Today "The Biggest Loser" is starting inmy office! I decided to join for the 12 weeks. It's $5/wk and at the end of the 12 weeks the person with the biggest % loss gets the pot of $. I doubt I'll win it all, because I already heard that a couple of the gals will be doing the "starvation" thing, and I will not, but it will hopefully get all my engines up and running and the accountability will help me out. I'm tired of just maintaining.

[serena37]

You never know, you might win cause the starvation thing doesn't work as well as people think it does. If you starve yourself long enough it will start to work but when someone stops eating, the body starts to store fat cause it knows it's starving and needs to store fat to survive.

Wow! Do I Smell Bad? Where Did Everybody Go?

[Nori71]

I Know! We Are Here All Alone, Serena! Hopefully Everyone Will Come Back Soon. I'm So Busy Right Now With My Job, Being A Mom And Exercising That I Don't Get Online As Much!

Anyways, 13 People Have Signed Up For Biggest Loser At Work - And While I Know Not Everyone Will Continue Until The End - But If They Did There Would Be A $1,020 Pot At The End Of 12 Weeks. I Am Tempted To Be Crazy - Like Way Undereat - But I'm Not Going To Go That Route Again.

Why Do Each Of My Words Start In Caps???? I Swear I'm Not Typing Like That!????

Hey girls, I'm back and fatter than ever! We got back after midnight Sunday so I took off Monday. I started back at work yesterday and weighed in at gulp....210 lbs!! I definitely need to regroup and start a diet again this week. I'll write again soon after the boss leaves to catch up with everyone. I 've missed you all

[serena37]

Momto2: A specific setting might have accidently gotten set on your computer. Some sort of corrector thing. If my kids get on the computer they usually find functions that I didn't even know existed.

Weight in was last night. I gained a 1/2 pound. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be but bad enough. I was hoping to be signifigantly smaller when we go to the mountains in October but at this rate it just isn't gonna happen. I'm hungry right now but I ate too much for breakfast and need to hold out for awhile.

I haven't begun to start over yet, I'm trying to psyche myself into it. I bought a new WW magazine at the grocery store but haven't opened it yet. I also saw on TV that they have free registration at WW. I'm debating on whether or not to join, I have one about 10-15 minutes away, I wish there were one closer. DH bought a TON of candy home from vacation, he somehow manages to keep his weight down though. He was 190 before vacation and 200 coming back but I'm sure he'll lose his quickly by keeping active. My left calf is still hurting me. It may be because of the lump on my foot (that needs to be surgically removed but I'm a chicken) is making me walk funny. From the back of my knee half way down my calf feels like a pulled muscle. I've been taking ibuprofen w/ codeine I bought over the counter in Ireland. It works good but I only have 5 pills left I wish I had the time and money to go to a fat farm and get the first 35 lbs off. Meal planning is my big downfall...enough of this negative talk...I need to start thinking positive.

I hope everyone is having a great day. Nori: that contest sounds great. We had one here at work a few years ago but some of the girls were mad because they felt the girl who won cheated...but I was the one who weighed her in so I know she didn't. What started out as a fun contest ended up in bitter resentment. I hope yours works out better

Serena: I forgot what happened to your foot, I hope it's doing better. If I remember correctly, a small McD's burger isn't that many points. Just tell DH to get you a McD salad next time (dressing on the side )

Maybe I'll go crack the WW magazine open

Welcome back Kim and MO!! Glad to see you around again.

Details, Mo! How was the trip? Did the kids have fun? Is there good food there? You'll get your groove thing back soon.

I'm trying to stay strong here. Yesterday I did a bunch of prep work for a bridal shower for one of my sisters for tomorrow. Surrounded by food. For the most part it's "ok" stuff, but...

Anyways, got lots of housework to do before tomorrow. There will be around 20 people here. I love parties!
