This is an awesome siggy idea!!! I'm gonna get to work on this after I get back from visiting my parents!

I've had a so-so week. I started working 2 jobs (well technically 3) so going from unemployed to overempployed has left me exhausted. I haven't been to the gym in almost 3 weeks. BUT all of my jobs are very physical so I haven't really felt like I've missed the gym. My weight has stayed the same, but I'm very much okay with it. This means I haven't gained any of the weight I lost starting last season so I know it won't come back! That's good enough for me for this week! My eating has been terrible (I had a cheeseburger, chocolate bar AND bag of chips last night... oh yeah & a beer! ) But I'll try to get myself back on track so I can do things right! Congrats on all the hard work everyone's been doing!!

It's tough, but it's do-able! I just passed my 1-year anniversary of not drinking pop 2 weeks ago actually! It's pretty hard at the beginning, but after a while you don't even want it anymore. I see people drinking it & I can't imagine trying to swallow a sip of it.. I think I'd gag now!! You definately can do it!!

I personally didn't try it, but everyone else raved about how tasty it was. Sounds like a very different, but easy thing to try.

You may not be able to join with us to win the money, but what if you just follow along with us & weigh yourself weekly & stuff, but keep track of your own weight? I doubt anyone would mind if you were a part of the chats with us & that way you can stay motivated & join up next season if you'd like!

Congrats!!!!!

Very cool!! I love how you can change the straps to anything you like!

Yeah, so the whole no beer thing didn't work out so well. I gave in & let myself enjoy an ice cold Coors Light & after staring at beer ALLLLLLLLL day long, it felt amazing to have this one! YUM! Tamara I tried to call you tonight, but nobody was home. & your answering machine usually makes me laugh too hard to leave a message. I'll call you next time I need someone to slap the beer out of my hand!

IF you had something to share, you should know that we`re all here to listen......... *anxiously awaiting reply*

Hooray for season 3!! I had an decent start. My weight is the same as the end of season 2 so I'm happy about that. I haven't been able to go to the gym uin almost 2 weeks, but between working at a garden centre, doing landscaping & working at the beer store I think I'll be okay if I don't make it to the gym often. I had cereal for breakfast & tuna & fruit for lunch. I'm trying not to fall off the wagon for dinner, but I have no food in the house! And if I go out to buy something, there's no way I'm gonna cook when I get back. So I guess it's off to Subway tonight! lol I'm too afraid to be someones buddy because I can barely remember to keep track of myself - I don't want to drag anyone down with me! Although I guess I'm technically going to be T&N's buddy since we're sisters & talk all the time! After working at the beer store all day, all I can think of is cracking open a cool beer & relaxing, but since I have no light beer in the house I'll wait til I get some in the house before I give in

Whoohoo -It's on!!! Just took my pic to send out & haven't changed since season 2 ended. I'm alright with that since I've eaten horribly & assumed I would have gained a pound or two!

I've been looking into them too!! We desperately need a new bed, but don't want to buy one until we buy a house, but that could be months still so I need something to keep us going til then! Can't wait to hear your review!

I have a major facebook addiction!! lol I just joined the BDW group! yay!

I got my gift today!!! I ran to the post office at lunch today after receiving a notice from Canada Post on my door yesterday while I was at work. I was SO excited to see that it was my gift from Denise W!!!!! Thank you SO much for all the wonderful things!! I am especially excited since everything I got is from Bath & Body Works which we don't have here in Canada, but I absolutely LOVE the products!! Denise got me a wallflower with refills in warm vanilla sugar scent, hand lotion in rainkissed leaves (which is just lovely!) & body wash and lipgloss in raspberry mentha! Not to forget the adorable flipflop handwritten card! Thank you thank you thank you! You really made my week!!

Looks like you had an amazing time!! Stampede is always a blast!!

Oh my gosh, she's so sweet!!! I'm so glad to hear that she's doing a bit better. Fingers crossed that she keeps improving!!

LOL love it! Thanks for the Sunday laugh!

She's absolutely beautiful! Congrats!!!

LOL!!! Thanks for the laughs.. had a stressful day, but at least I'm giggling now!

This is the dress I will be wearing to my friends wedding in Jamaica... it's so pretty & flirty! We purchased an extra sash to tie around her waist of her wedding dress to tie the colours all together

LOL! That sounds so... special... haha! What a little monkey!

LOL that's too awesome! Great job!

Beautiful bracelet Tamara! I'm going to have to borrow that next time I see you! (we're sisters LOL)

Gorgeous pics! Making me miss the Rockies (especially Banff!)

Quote: Originally Posted by Maura i like that idea alyssa, if you skip two weeks or more without having a legit excuse (and i dont necessarily think they need to be two consecutive weeks) then you can still participate, but you are not eligible to win the pot. i think that is good motivation for people to do it every week on time. legit excuses for missing a weigh in would be: --your wedding falls in the middle of the contest and you'll be gone for 2 weeks --you are on a business trip with no access to a scale or camera, or your own computer --you have a family emergency and are unable to weigh-in and send a pic non-legit excuses would be: --oops i forgot --i didnt feel like it this week because i gained, but i'd rather resend the photo from last week saying i stayed the same (yes someone actually did this, i am not going to say who) --sending the weight number in an email without a photo - we don't record the number until we see the pic etc Sound fair to me!

I think I had a long day! lol I'm definately in!! I've been slacking on the gym so it's time to get back in gear!

Wow Congrats!!!! Everything looks perfect (especially you & Andy!)
