Replying to: volkov (Jan 13, 2009 5:13 pm) That sounds good, but I think we have to honor the rules and give the prize to the winner of Part I. Perhaps Edmunds' prize can go to whoever wins Part II? They had hinted they could add to the pot, but it wasn't specifically promised. Any objections to that idea? The Subaru swag will go to the winner of Part I, then we can give the Edmunds freebies to the 2nd phase champ. For Part II, we'll still go by the original weight, so that whatever progress was made so far isn't lost. Everyone OK with that?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 7:22 am) Long term for weight loss is the better way to do it anyway. Long and slow is the ticket!

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 7:22 am) Yes, in terms of the "prize," I think things should proceed as originally planned. I just think we should continue to encourage one another (i.e., keep the "competition" going). I apologize if my original suggestion was interpreted differently.

Leave me out of the swag.... I'm just happy to lose the weight! If we are starting over from January 1st, then my new start weight is 201 lbs.. (already down to 198, so you guys better get going) regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 9:43 am) kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 9:47 am) ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 10:45 am) and 4 more...

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 9:33 am) Are you not eligible because you're a host? If that's the case volkov is our leader. Unless one of the people who hasn't reported yet lost more?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 9:43 am) yeah... I'd probably have to claim it on my taxes... Seriously... the weight loss makes me very, very happy.. I'm trying not to make any changes that I can't keep up, ad infinitum... So, everything in moderation.. It is working even better than I hoped.. One big change: I won't drink beer that I don't love.. I'm not wasting calories on Miller Lite or Coors Light.. That allows me to drink even more Newcastle or Paulaner Hefe-weizen...

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 10:45 am) You just have to get someone to split the nachos with you.... Pizza: don't feel the need to finish it... three pieces is plenty.. Potato skins? No.. not worth it... lol... Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 12:50 pm) kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 1:01 pm) xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 1:44 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 12:08 pm) Funny enough, I eat little to none of the food we typically consider "bad for you," or high calorie, like pizza, restaurant/fast food, beer, nachos, potato or corn chips, etc. Spending less than $400 a month on food (including eating out and beverages) for a family of four, how could I possibly buy processed/prepared foods? But, alas, I still manage to take in the calories. I am not heavy, mind you, but I would be feeling pretty darn good if I lost 15-20#.

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 12:50 pm) I might have left out the part about exercise... At 50 yrs old, the amount of calories needed to maintain my weight, given my sedentary lifestyle is infinitesimally small... I started walking to the school and back from my house.. It's 2.3 miles roundtrip, and I knock it out in 34-37 minutes.. Since the first 3/10ths miles is pretty steep uphill, it is a decent workout... I try to get it in at least 3 days per week... I'd attribute a lot my weight loss to the exercise... Not necessarily the calories burned, but the consequent increase in metabolism... Again, I tried to do something that I could stick with... A lot of little things have made the difference... Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 1:44 pm)
