Okay, this is my first attempt at a blog. I wanted a place where we could leave comments; post stuff etc. Bear with me as I start this. Above is a picture of the book which can be purchased here; or if you just want to peruse it check out this link.
If I get really good at this I may post recipes and pictures etc. If you have anything you want posted send me an email (You should have gotten one informing you of this blog. Thats probably why you are reading this in the first place).
So, follow my lead and introduce yourself to the other players in the comment section.
The Rules:
You have all received a copy of the rules. If you have any questions about them post a comment here. I will answer to the best of my ability or we can put it to a vote.
Next Post:
We'll be committing to our "transformation" here in writing.
I am the inspiration for this blog and game (for us anyways). I saw the authors on Good Morning America while I was at Akron General waiting for a patient to finish a post-op appointment. It looked interesting so I googled it and came upon the website as well as the preview of the book from Harper Collins. I started reading it and was laughing. I ordered the book from Amazon and thought, "hey why not?". I have a stomach I'd love to lose. and some thighs. and some chins. and some lunch lady arms. Ok, its not that bad (I hope) but you get the point.
ReplyDeleteYou all have either been recruited by me or someone I recruited. My goal is to do this (and lose weight of course) and hopefully get some other contests started after this one ends. I am hoping it will be addiciting and FUN.
I especially love the part about smack talk (all in good humor I hope).
I am chugging my last of the diet coke *sigh* as I write this. Yeah, the soda part is going to be hard!
I'm an old friend from the college days. I've been on the SBD for an extended period of time, and have hit a bad plateau for the past few months. I've lost close to 120 pounds in the last 18 months, and have more that I want to loose. I'm hoping that this will help jump start my weight loss again. I am dreading the sleep requirements of this game. I mean really, who goes to bed at 10 or 11PM??
ReplyDeleteGame on tomorrow....I am just sitting here seeing what else I can eat before weigh in tomorrow. It's amazing how something that has sat in the cupboard for a month suddenly looks yummy! Good luck on your first day my team members.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I cannot tell you how many diet cokes I have had, just because I could this week. I think I have eaten the worst this week just because....McDonalds McFlurry for dinner?! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteMichael, I don't think the sleep requirement is going to be a problem for me. I'm ready to go to bed at 8 to keep from eating. This is my prime snacking time!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs it time for bed yet??? That is the best part of dieting!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you guys hear the news? Big layoffs at Coca Cola. It seems sales for coke and diet cole have fallen. There was no explanation at the time of broadcast.
ReplyDeleteI better do my part to bring jobs back to Ohio and start drinking again!!!! I have to do my part. See ya - gotta go exercise!!
ReplyDeleteDid you guys notice that is quite raining today? i think we have officially drank all of the water on the planet.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed the level in my pool has gone down. Chris did you run out of water??? This water thing is crazy. Dave keeps saying what did you say and I have to keep saying it's my belly swishing. I know know where every bathroom in Stark county is.
ReplyDeleteKeep drinking....99 bottles of water on the wall...ect!!
