Sorry we were absent from a timely blog yesterday. Admitting to no weight loss once again is hard enough but knowing that you don't deserve any was too much to take. We spent the morning sweating off our frustrations doing heavy duty yardwork. I did manage 6 miles this week.
FYI : Katie you look fabulous, next to Eric or alone...NEVER a fatty patty! You have worked very hard these past 6 months and it shows.

Carter's
Craig & Lisa C: Just returned from St. George. No weight loss; but some mileage for hiking and golfing! Wow, this 6 months had gone fast....faster than the weight loss, but at least this has kept the efforts in our daily consciousness! Never give up....6 days to go!!!!
Eric and Katie...
So I, Katie, haven't lost anything! I have started "real running" and I find that I eat sooo much more now than before! But its muscle weight.... Right? :) Anyway ONE MORE WEEK.. I think a diet of lemon water and ice cubes is in my future for the next week!? ...JK Anyway I stayed thes same.
Eric on the other hand is going nuts with this and I feel like the Fatty-McPatty next to him, he is down .70% for a total fo 20.93%!!! Crazy kid.
ONLY ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!!!

Tuff Week!
Katie and I had a stressful week but didn't do too bad. Katie maintained her wait and so stays at a total of 13.89% lost. I on the other hand had some muscle gain and added a pound to last weeks weigh in. So thats .59% added to make my total weight loss now 20.37%
Traveling Big Daddy and Big Mama
Reporting in:
Lisa C. same as always, but.....I am thrilled not to have gained with the traveling we've been doing...must've been all the stairs I climbed in Park City. 2 weeks to go....I am wondering if a 20 lbs. weight loss can occur so I reach my goal.......can you say "gastric bypass?" Ever upward Losers!
Big Daddy Craig same, but is going to the gym.
5 miles to report.

0% loss and 14 miles for this week. Katie, heard just a little about your wreck, I am so glad you are okay (as it were), you are never OK after a wreck. I am so sorry that happened!
Team Bruce and Sue
Once again like a broken record ...no losses.
Actually, I feel a gain from the way clothes are fitting but I am afraid to look after the birthday celebration last night. Who gave our baby permission to turn 18 any way? And where is the law written that I always follow that says you have to over eat before anything is well celebrated for heaven sake?
More important this morning than any contest we are having some fun with (losing [OR NOT] at but having fun any way) is the fact that our sweet Katie is okay after yesterday's accident. Katie we love you! We are so thankful that you weren't seriously injured. Our prayers are for a quick recovery of your aches and pains. Grandad Belnap says he is sorry if it is his fault he started something that was catching. LOL Me too...it had better not spread any further - 2 accidents in a 2 week span is 2 many!!!!
Good Luck to everyone with the weight loss this week. There is left over "better than sex" birthday cake and ice cream in my fridge calling my name! Oh, dread!

Monday....you got to be kidding!
I thought I'd just check out what my starting weight for the week is....and I'm going to be annonymous...but, seriously! I am up a flippin' 8 lbs.....so, not only do I need to lose that to get back to where I was, but dagnabit I have to lose on top of that to even maintain any smidgeon of pride! Ultimate weight loss challenge is right! Thinking of lap surgery or jaw wiring is what kind of mood I am in right now! GRRRRRRRRR!

Phyllis's Response...
Katie, I have not lost any weight. Stayed the same. Actually, I have gained and I am right back where I began. Sorry, for all intents and purposes, I have pulled out. Shock!! I am having foot surgery here soon and will be laid up for a while. Maybe when I am done with that, I can get on with a program. But, I am excited for whoever wins this contest!! They deserve the bonus. Losing weight is difficult to do and to keeping it off is even more difficult. Best of luck to everyone.
KEEP EACH OTHER MODIVATED!!!! :)

REMINDER...

Interesting...
Onion BlossomIt may be your waistline that blossoms if you're a fan of fried onions. "It's good to start off with a vegetable," says Joan Salge Blake, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "But once you fry it, you're frying in calories." The onion blossom at one popular restaurant has 1,552 calories, 83 g of fat, and 5,508 mg of sodium - more than double the daily sodium limit for healthy adults.
Spinach Artichoke DipDon't let the word "spinach" fool you. Traditional spinach artichoke dip is not a healthy starter. A typical order contains about 1,500 calories, 100 g of fat, and 2,500 mg of sodium. The trouble is the cream base, which is loaded with saturated fat. If you make this dip at home, try using a base of nonfat Greek yogurt instead.
Cheese FriesThe worst appetizers can "take over the meal," Blake warns. "Some of them have more calories than the main entrée." One offender is cheese fries - French fries with melted cheese on top. Variations may include bacon bits or ranch dressing. A full order packs up to 2,100 calories, 150 g of fat, and a whole day's worth of sodium (2,300 mg).
Cheeseburger SlidersDon't be fooled by their size - "sliders" pack a lot of calories into a tiny sandwich. A typical restaurant order includes three mini-burgers with cheese and sauce, totaling 1,270 calories, 81 g of fat, and 2,270 mg of sodium.
Loaded Potato SkinsPotato skins filled with melted cheese, meats, and sour cream are as fattening as they are tempting. "You're taking a potato and adding saturated fats," Blake cautions. At 150 calories a pop, the trick to enjoying these is to have just one. Devour a whole plateful and you'll take in about 1,000 calories, 100 g of fat, and 1,900 mg of sodium.
Fried CalamariLike many forms of seafood, squid can be nutritious. But when you bread it and fry it in oil, you're drenching it with calories and fat. A typical restaurant portion contains about 900 calories, 54 g of fat, and 2,300 mg of sodium - not including any sauceNew England Clam ChowderClam chowder sounds like it should be healthy, especially as a way to take in some extra seafood. Unfortunately, the New England variety is made with a fattening cream base. A 12-ounce bowl contains about 450 calories, 34 g of fat, and 1,190 mg of sodium.
Chicken WingsA typical appetizer portion of buffalo chicken wings has more than 700 calories and 40 g of fat. Ranch sauce adds another 200 calories and 20 g of fat. That's 900 calories and 60 g of fat - not to mention more than 2,000 mg of sodium - before you even get to your main meal.
Mozzarella SticksThere's something about a stick of warm, gooey cheese that is irresistible - until you take a look at the nutritional facts. A typical order has 940 calories, 46 g of fat, and 2,830 mg of sodium. That puts mozzarella sticks pretty much on par with chicken wings.
Chili Cheese NachosThey may be a festive way to start an evening out, but nachos and cheese dip are among the least healthy appetizer choices. Eat an entire order yourself, and you'll take in 1,680 calories, 108 g of fat, and 4,280 mg of sodium - nearly twice the recommended daily limit for sodium
