ummmm... Tha would be me.... 2004

Joan that is you! Oh my God that is funny!If nothing else comes out of todays message I got one good laugh! thanks, bandy

My office is having a Biggest Loser competition...

 

Each of us put $10 in each month and weigh weekly... the person who has lost the largest % in each week wins 1/4 of the total amount.

 

The competition is set from 2/8 through 7/4....

 

At the end of the competition the CEO is going to personally award $500 to whoever loses the most... of course he is hoping it will be him...

 

I have so far lost only 4 pounds but according to our "secret keeper" every pound lost matters, so I guess it's okay...

LOL!!!

 

Joan- I love it when you get your real face on the siggies....

 

 

Babs- I love that idea of making it a team effort like that. Do you watch The Biggest Loser on TV? I have and some of them really do work at it, others don't take it serious.

I would love to do something like this. I am considered over weight accordng to the scales but my BMI borders obese. I excercise 5 days a week, but love to eat so the weight doesn't fall off very fast. Let me know how you want to do this, it could be just what I need to get the scale to show the hard work I do every day. Thanks for thinking of this! Tammy

Hopefully Bandy will see this for you Tammy.

Thanks! I hope so. We both live in Rural America and need female support.

Bandy how are you doing with your diet?

Hendrineke ... I planned to start this coming Monday. Going to cut colorie intake to 1200 -- focus on the diet I followed on E-Dets for diabetics. If you'd like I'll post a sample day's meal plan for you and anyone else interested.

How was the festival?
