Way To Go!

Just wanted to say GOOD JOB to everyone who worked hard to diet and exercise to lose weight. You deserve a pat on the back. And I want to give a great big High 5 to Traci. You are our big winner and you should be proud of it. This has been fun and I hope to keep up my plan. It might be slow and easy for me but at least I am making a effort to achieve my goal.

Way to Go!!!!!

Traci you still are THE BIGGEST FAMILY LOSER.

I am a WINNER

I might not have lost the most weight on our family loser competition BUT I did win one of the five prizes at Curves for the Quest Competition they held. The competition lasted for the entire month of September. There were several things we have had to do in order to win. I met all these qualifications. The prize wasn't big but at least I WON! And even though I haven't lost much weight I have lost about 8 inches over all.

Everyone keep up the good work. I am not giving up and still going for the big WIN!!!!

Really, Amber and Craig are tied for 9th. Amber is losing inches right now not pounds. She says she's fitting back into her size 10's. Way to go Amber!

Traci you are the woman right now!! Tye thought he was leading the pack. All I have to say is pride comes before the fall!

Everyone, keep up the good work. Even if you're nearing last place, you are still very much in the game. Most everyone got off to a slow start and we are just beginning. With six weeks left in the competition anyone can still easily take the lead to become The Biggest Family Loser. Keep up the good work family!!

This week Traci, you are THE BIGGEST FAMILY LOSER!

It's not official but...

I think Skinny Minnie Alves is in the lead. I think she blew everybody out of the water this past week. Keep up the good work Nonnie but not too good. Give the rest of us a chance!

On Today's Menu

No clue if I'll win, but I will definitely lose.

I've never done this so I'll start by revealing today's food and exercise.

2 organic eggs
1 strip natural bacon
8 oz glass 100% ruby red pink grapefruit juice

Lunch
1.5 cup green salad
*organic mixed greens, roma tomatoes
1/2 liter bottle diet coke

Snack
1 snack bag popcorn
1/2 liter bottle diet coke
WATER

Supper
1/2 cup green salad

* sun-dried tomato sauce on top)
4 oz glass red wine
(I made, but skipped the homemade herb bread.)

For exercise:
I know it sounds silly, but I powerwalked around Walmart and built up quite a sweat. It's not really exercise, but tonight I let Lily show me her new steps in gymnastics, tap, ballet. Gymnastics was out, but I let her "teach" me the rest.
Does cleaning the house to near perfection count? We have an in-home inspection tomorrow at 11 am by the adoption agency and another one at 3:30 pm on Thursday with CPS. They're all routine, but necessary.

And that's all she wrote tonight.

Oh it's been BROUGHT

Step aside. There is no contest here. I WILL be the winner!!!

Bring It

Just so you know...with $550 dollars as motivation...I am kicking my weight loss back to what it was this summer about 3 pounds a week. Top that!

Actually, I have done really horrible this week...but you just wait. When I decide it's time to start losing...WATCH OUT! I will be your fiercest competition.

Amber

I'm Going to WIN!

Nanny, nanny, nanny...I am going to WIN.

I am off to a good start. Two workouts in two days...and HUNGRY most the time. Even Curves started a one month competition so they are even helping me win. When I win their prize I will have to let you know what I get.

So you might as well put on your breaks because I am off and running.

Mucho Cockiness

I am getting a LOT of cockiness over emails. What makes you think you guys going to win this thing?! I have a question for you Tye. What makes you think that you have the upper hand in all this? In the end, I'll be stealing the money from you. It will be like taking candy from a baby!

I am very excited about losing weight. Thank you Shannon for the great idea!

Thanks for the brilliant idea of the Biggest Family Loser! I am so happy to be a part and to be able to beat you all!

May the biggest loser win!

Today is the start of a fun competition. I am really excited and I hope you are too. We are about to be one really sexy family. May the biggest loser win!
