APRIL WEIGH IN, NOT APRIL'S WEIGH IN!!!!

Hi Losers,

No, we are not publishing April's weigh in for all to see. However, I do believe that steamed mouse counts as 2 points on the weight watchers scale. Kudo's to April and Chris's dog, Penny, she's a real dog after all. Keep up those good hunting skills, when they move to Florida, maybe she can hunt gator for them. hoorah!!!!!


Okay, here's the April results, Now, before I get started, two months in a row, and most of us are in a rut, its nice out there, lets get those buns moving. come on guys, and to reward the best mover, they are getting a nice prize, like I said.

Also, food diaries. not the favorite thing to do, and I had a hard time with it too.

This is what I would like to hear from everyone who even tried to keep even a mental list of what they ate. What do you think are your 5 worst or best eating habits. To start out, I will list mine,

On a daily basis, I do not drink enough water. I only drank maybe 2 or 3 glasses of water each day. I am addicted to special K protein bars, I need to substitute them for some fruit or something. i do eat balanced meals, most are prepared in the home and we eat lots of veggies with them and they are good veggies, steamed stuff, that sort of thing, but I do have a weakness for something sweet almost every day. I have to work at that.
Last but not least, I need to drink maybe 1 more glass of milk or have some good dairy product every day. So, I have confessed. Lets see what everyone else has to say. Like I said, it was not a punishment for everyone, just to let you all know that maybe you are not exactly doing what you need to do.

here's our April results. Good job everyone.

Susan, George, Jerri, Jill, Janet, very slight drops, but drops just the same.
Kristy, slightly up, but not much
Jason- 0.5%
Todd- 1.4%
April- 1.54%
and our winner this month weigh in and the winner of the special prize is

Lori- 1.76%

Hoorah to Lori, she will get a special prize in the mail. maybe she will let everyone know what it is. Good job everyone.

This month, our total weight loss was 13,1 pounds, bringing our total weight loss as a group to
143.7 pounds. That is pretty awesome.

I am so proud of everyone. So, lets hear some feed back about the food diaries, or even the work about it. i hope everyone has a nice Easter coming up.
Between burning brush and indoor painting, we have been busy busy, and I am still trying to find that almighty job here. I was told I did not meet the requirements of a cashier, go figure, I only handled hundreds of thousands of dollars daily at the superior court and reconciled daily and monthly with the auditors office every single month. But, what can I say. Guess money in California is different than money in S. Carolina. They must still be working with that confederate garbage here.

Good job losers,

miss you and hope to see less of you real soon.

Susan

Mid-March weigh in results

Okay losers,
Good news and bad news.

There was not alot of weight loss for this period, however, there was loss, and no gain which was remarkable when you consider most of you had terrible weather to contend with.

Now that its getting better, lets see if our stats can improve.

Here's the scoop so far,
and most of us had so little weight loss it was not even registering, but it was a loss anyway,

Susan
George
Jerri
Jill
April
Jason

this group did not have any significant weight loss, BUT THERE WAS NO WEIGHT GAIN!!!!!!
so that says alot,

Lori- almost 1%
Todd- 1%

and our winner for this mid month period is Kristy- with a whopping 2% percent.

Hoorah for Kristy. our winner this time around.

Now, the total of weight loss for the group was 10.9 pounds giving our group total weight loss of 130.6 pounds. Is that fantastic. I do think so.

So, kudo's to Kristy,

Now, lets get a little notebook, borrow some paper from the kids stash, do whatever, keep a food diary for one week. Yes, that includes how much water you are drinking, everything that you consume for one week. Come on guys, like I said it is no punishment, it will be another tool for us and its only for a week.

Also, as a reminder, we are coming up to the end of March, maybe some of you need to send in another amount to Jerri to keep your account current. Keep that in mind if that pertains to you.

So, keep up the good work, you got to move it, move it. and there will be a nice prize for the April 1st best weight loss winner.

Good luck everyone.
go losers,

Susan

New Challenge!!!!!!!

Okay Losers,

I have let everyone slide abit, however, its time to get back on the band wagon, and especially since it is becoming nicer weather, there is no excuse for not getting out and hoofing it abit.

So, here is the challenge. I want everyone to document what they have eaten for 1 week. Be honest about it, write down what you have eaten for breakfast, snacks, anything that goes into that big ole pie hole. I want you to start doing it on Sunday, March 22, and then we will finish it on Sat. the 28th. Lets see if everyone can do that.
come on, all you have to do, is keep a little notebook nearby, write down what you have eaten, drunk, anything, and yes that includes if you have made a stop at a local coffee shop for a little treat. This is not a punishment, I think it will be interesting to see what happens after a week.

Please be honest about doing this, I will have a great prize for the end of the month weigh in on April 1st. So, get to walking and keep those food diaries for just one week.

Good luck losers,
and get the rest of the weights in for everyone. We only have a few people left to send in their weights.

Look forward to hearing from all of you losers,

later losers,
Susan

MARCH MADNESS!!!!!!!

hope to hear from all of you soon,

later losers,
Susan

okay and the final question:


Eighteen people stood in three queues in the post office. One third were in the first queue: and of those remaining, two thirds were in the second queue: and the rest were in the third queue. All were waiting to buy first class stamps, second class stamps and each also wanted an additional item. Every queue consisted of equal numbers of men and women, with each man standing directly behind a woman.

Everyone wanted exactly the same number of first class stamps as their position in the queue. Any man in any queue who wanted fewer than five first class stamps also wanted three second class stamps. Any woman who wanted more than four first class stamps also wanted two second class stams. Everyone else wanted just one second class stamp.

Of the women, all of those who wanted a total of fewer than six stamsp also wanted to buy a TV stamp: and any who wanted a total of more than eight stamps also wanted to buy a birthday card.

Of the men, all those who wanted a total of fewer than six stamps also wanted to buy a birthday card and any who wanted a total of more than eight stamps also wanted to buy a TV stamp.

Of everyone else remaining, one man in each queue wanted to buy a packet of envelopes. All of those still remaining ( if any) wanted to buy postcards.


HOW MANY PEOPLE WANTED POSTCARDS?

Good luck losers,

Susan
