Hello all!!

Guinever - congrats on making your challenge!! Any tips to share? I'm always on the lookout for a good tip.

That's why when I was at the hairdresser's today, I picked up the Oprah Magazine that said "Scientists reveal secrets of weight loss"
Seems like they have decided that if you lose weight -- you will gain it back if you return to your old eating habits.


I guess that makes all scientists!!

Their other conclusion- you only will keep the any weight lost off if you change your lifestyle--

Heehee.....Just glad I didnt pay to read that article!!

Golly Gee, I'm a scientist & I didn't even know it Do you think I can put that on my resume??? LOL

and science is right! It'll come back!!!

But we of the Power o' Five are dedicated to the proposition that those pounds will be happier somewhere else and we're NEVER going to let 'em drift back in here. YOU BET!!!

Elbertine Pep hath a theory that those cute cuddly Pounds of Fat have a secret resort where they go when we chase 'em out. They rest there and eat things like french fries and dulce de leche and lie on the couch all day and feel sorry for themselves until they're strong enough to make a run back to try to reclaim their home on our physiques. Elbertine thinks we should contribute even more french fries, etc., to the fat resort so that the Pounds of Fat will want to stay there and invite their friends. She hath consulted scientists on this matter and they assure her that the more slothful those Pounds of Fat get, the less likely they are to move and bother innocent fitness folk like us. So let's all root out the french fries, dulce de leche, ice cream (well, maybe not all the ice cream), mayo, chips, and the like from our kitchens and send it off to the central clearinghouse for the care and feeding of expatriate Pounds of Fat. Let's keep 'em happy, folks, and they won't be bothering us. :hypno:

WE WILL DO THIS!!!

Woo-Hoo!!! Amarantha is down 1.5 pounds, .5 of the Five Pound Challenge weight!!! Kaylets, I answered your PM on the 21-day thread ... couldn't PM you but thanks for thinking about me!!! I also explained at probably too-detailed length my personal moon challenge, which involves TWO BLOCKS ... so I'm legit to post on the 21-day again!!!

If no one minds, I'm going to post an updated list on a new thread ... feel somewhat egotistical always having my name at the top of the list, but it's only because it falls that way in the alphabet.

My new stats since starting the challenge: 165 (starting weight for challenge)/164.5 (current weight)/160 (challenge goal)/135 (ultimate goal)

RED ALERT TO POWER OF FIVE: PLS POSTETH NOT HERE BUT ON FIVE POUND CHALLENGE #3!!!! THANKEE KINDLY!!! SIGNED, ELBERTINE PEP, PERSONAL TRAINER TO ROYALTY!

ALL HAIL, GUINEVER! Always nice to be first.

Anagram, you got me started - now I'm singing- Is your quote the song title or...??


I'm wondering what my weigh in tomorrow will show- hee, hee,
makes it really interesting when you have a deadline on your challenge doesnt it!!

Congrats to you Guinever you rock!!!!!!!

Well what a great day this is 2 days headache free for me, plus I managed to play 9 holes of golf. This if the first time since the car accident June 26 that I have been able to do that and then when we got home I went for a walk with the dog and did a quick 15min around the ball diamond when we got to the school....I feel so pumped it is so nice to be feeling close to myself again after so long.

Does anybody know the point value of cabbage rolls, I ate them at a rest. so I can't check the package.

Have a good evening everyone.
