Yeah it was finally a good weigh in. Or just a balance of the 5 pounds my schale claims I gained last week. It wasn't a great weekend, but I'm bouncing back today.

How's everyone else doing this lovely rainy Monday morning?

Okay PJ hope you had a good weigh in today. I have been walking two miles everyday at lunch times, and trying to walk again at night. I hope it reflects in the scale on Monday.

Oh and all I can say is God Bless Special K.

Welcome to all the new participants. I'm so excited that you have joined us. We can all use every bit of encouragement, support, and motivation we can get.

As far as the $25 goes, let's wait till the end (i'm hoping we are dealing with all honest people here), and then we will all send to the winner.

I hadn't thought about pictures. That sounds like a good idea, if everyone wants to. I think we can post them in our journals.

welcome tmpreston77 and nijotojo!!! Neither of you get discouraged if you gain; we are all human and it happens...i know it is tempting just to not log in a gain, but you know what? you need to use that as a motivator for the following week.

I know that if _I_ win I will ask everybody to make a contribution to my fundraising account for the Houston Marathon I'll be participating in. I'm participating with the Team In Training to raise funds for the Leukemia Lymphona Society.

so...save up your $25 and pay up when due! lol

Oh, I almost forgot...please let me know where/how to send my $25 entry fee. Also, are we doing pictures? If so, where do I send/post them? Thanks! I'm excited about getting started, I know there's a thinner, healthier me in there somewhere and I want to find her!

Hello everyone! Sorry I'm joining late, but I haven't been on this site in awhile and just saw this competition and thought it looked like a good one to join. I was in one several months ago and actually came in second even though I didn't lose much, but here I am, between 5-10 pounds heavier than I was at the end of that competition. UGH! I'm ready to get motivated again, so here I go! I hope to get to know you all and to motivate/be motivated by each other. Blessings to all!

Welcome to the war tmpreston, and better late than never. I have the same problem as you when the scale goes up I give up, but not this time. I feel I am accountable to the people of this competition (i'm very competitive), and I want to win. I mean really either way I can only come out of this a winner.

The prize is $200 bucks right now. The 10 you put in to join the website doesn't count towards this. At the end each person will mail the winner the $25.00. Me personally have decided this money (when I win) is going to a new coach purse. LOL Or I may need tons of new clothes.

ok hi everyone... im late but here... gotta start somewhere... well, im 31 n fat but here. Im not on a diet plan, I just know that I need to start exercising. My plan, although not the best, is to exercise so I can eat what I want :) sounds good. i will go upstairs and weigh myself in today. Yesterday I was 300.6 or OOOOBBEEESSSEEEE.. the scale seems to change daily but only fluctuates less than 2 pounds either way... guess its not the scale, its probably really me..i love carbs.. i eat oodles and noodles two times a day...umm, with mayo and cheese...:( yeah ummm... im about to go make some right now... anyway, I wish everyone good luck. I understand weigh ins are mondays. This is only my second chance at this weight loss wars thing. the first time I gave up. Hopefully, I can stick with it this time. I see that everyones weight is going up and down, my problem is when it goes up, i quit, discouraged. hopefully i can stick with it... exercise, excercise and more excercise...ps... the top of the screen says 200 dollars he prize but Im assuming the correct amount right now is 80 because the sign up fee was only 10 dollars instead of 25... is this correct? there must be 8 people in the and if everyone really paid 10 we r at 80. I know... shut up... got it..

Hey how's everyone doing? It's was a sucky week for me, but I'm not discouraged. I'm hoping I'm that much more motivated now.
