Biggest Loser...

Oh yay! Lots of people on board. Okay you all, what's it gonna be? I'm open to any ideas. I was thinking Sunday is October 1 and we could begin then...? I'm all for chipping in $5 or $10 for a mutual pot, but don't know how to pull this off, do you? It would make a nice Christmas present for the biggest loser. So, please keep logging on with any ideas everyone. I'm motivated and really think this may help us get over the hump. Take care, Kelly

Kelly, I'm always up for a challenge. Groan!! I am way too competitive for my own good. April's challenge started me running and I am now at 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week. Groan!! Someone else got me started or should I say stopped eating after 800pm and in a month, I have only eated three times after 8pm. Groan!! BUT THANKS!! And I am not loosing any weight any more..Em...I know it is supposed to happen for 18 months to 2 years, but I am soooooooooooooo stuck at 160. 5-10 more pounds would be so lovely to loose but seemingly impossible. OK OK OK< I'm up for any challenge. To loose 10 pounds Oct -Dec. Sounds good. Let me know about how much 5 or 10 sounds good and who to send the money to. I supppose we should have one person hold it all? Or just wait and see who wins and send it to that person? Maybe we could all just have different personal goals but then how do we decide who wins? If we all succeed? YA see why these challenges drive my little brain crazy? Just tell me what to do and I am in!! Jacqueline PS, Chilly and cold here in Germany. Plastic Surgery for tummy and breast lift scheduled for Jan 8. Tentatively for Jan8. Hugs, jacqueline

I watched it last night, and cried...good tears mostly, thinking about how last yr when it started we were all at the start of our journey (yes I think of "us" off the bord...hehe) and how amazingly far we have came, and how proud I was of each of you for the accomplishments youve made and then it sank in how far I have come and how much change I have made and I went to get more tissues and as I walked past the miror I saw her, finally saw the thinner, healthier blonder woman you have all been praising these last months, and let me tell you I bawled like a baby. I also realized I still had it in me to lose the weight when I thought of how I slouch between surgon visits BUT the month b4 the visit I work my but off to lose whatever I have to in order to make his goal...lol Why can't ok won't I apply myself like this every month,,,hehe, I guess I'm afraid it realy will work.(yeah I know it will) I was thinking also how motivated it was making me feel and thought If I can harness this motivation I could still lose 15-20 lbs a month becouse I'm still over 250 and have it to lose, that would put me right around 210 by Christmas, So I decided I would aim for 200...lol Then I settled for the 205 midrange. So I guess I babbled all this time to let you know, YEAH I'M in mark me down for 200 by christmas...lol Hugs, Shel As far as a prize, why not have everone commit to a $5 gift card orgift for the winner,I know myself I don't get myself pretty things or reward myself often and this way we can't NOT be rewarded for doing so well.

I like this idea. Lots. Count me in. As for the prize... I suggest we pick a place that let's us all put in gift certificates, like Amazon.com.

Glad everyone likes the idea. Amazon, huh, Michael? I really never went there before, believe it or not. I thought they only sold books and stuff. duh.. That's a good idea. I like ebay too!

I am in!!! I need to lose 30 lbs I am at 182 and need to lose!!! I need lots of motivation so maybe this would do it! I want to be at 150 by Christmas. WE CAN DO IT!! (I hope) eheheh Count me in and let me know what I gotta do!!!
