Hey, your ticker did move!!!! Hey, I see a gingerbread coming your way.:nervous

Thursdays are my "official" weigh in day. boy was i happy to see it go down!! especially when patrons are bringing in chocolates, truffles, chocolate biscuits, timmy's gift certs....DAMN PATRONS!!!!

who the hell do those patrons think they are???!!! (pssst: send 'em my way)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm no fair if Cloe is high and I'm not!!!

NEENAGH!!!! You are soooooooooooooooo close!!!!!! ALMOST THERE!

:faint:

You can do it Neenagh, onderland is just a breath a way ! Be tough, you can dot it. Maybe inspire yourself with a little treat when you get there. Not necessarly a food treat either

You can do it , because you have been doing it all along.

Yasmina

Yoda, I'll see what i can do about sending the treat bearing patrons YOUR way!

BTW I think your high too, so there!

Yasmina, Thanks for the encouragment, now if i could just duct tape my mouth shut, i may make it!!! :}

Hey guys! You know about my little challenge at the gym, right? Well, next friday is the end of it. Apparently, they've been talking about me... and that I'm a contenda! I guess no one else has been doing so great. I did a weigh in about half way though, and was down 8 or 9 lbs... she was very excited.

My friend who's been going with me opted to not do a halfway weigh in, and actually doesn't own a scale, so she only knows her starting weight and measurements, and won't find out how she's done until next week also. I'm scared for her, and more scared that I'll win. If she doesn't do well, I'll feel so bad, cause she's really tried (at the exercising at least).. I don't know how she eats.

I need this money, but I can't help think that there'll be some resentment there if I do. It's even more weird, because she knows I've had the surg., but we don't talk about it. She doesn't know how much I've lost, she doesn't ask, and I don't tell. It's too bad, because she's the other person here, other than Dan, that knows. I used to be bigger than her, and now she's bigger than me.

I thought that I should give her half of it, if I win... but ... MAN, I could really use that money!!!

I will definitely let you know what happens...

Good luck with it Mandi! You have worked just as hard.

Buy her a little treat or something.....

I hope for her sake though that she has lost a lot too since she has worked hard.

Thats a hard call Mandi. Gotta go with your heart and your gut on that on. Maybe just take her out for lunch or something. Then your thinking of her, and that will make you and her feel good. Tis the season! Use the money however you feel you should!!

Mandi you have worked just as hard at the exercising as your friend has,and also there are people who could lose just as much weight with out being banded as you have, your friend could be just one of those people.

If you do win share some with her maybe like one hundred dollars or buy her a nice gift. Good luck too you, my opinion is that you deserve it just as much as anyone else does.

Maria

Thank you guys. I hope she does well too. Just found out tonight, that even though my weigh in isn't SUPPOSED to be until friday, they're doing it on Wed, just because the lady who originally weighed and measured me will only be there that day. (huh?!) Maybe she'll only measure me, and I'll be officially weighed on Friday. I hope so! I need those 2 days!!

I will do something nice for her if i win... especially if I get the whole pot, and don't have to split it with others.

How much will be in the pot?

Mandi dont forget you shelled out 15 grand to lose the weight!!! in my book that just means that you were the most committed to losing the weight!!!heheheh
