Did you know that if you eat an automic fireball you drink a lot more water. I'll do anything to get in my 8 glasses of water in.

I'm very happy with Nintendo. My WiiFit broke early last week, and the warranty was expired. I called them up to find out how to fix it. It cost me $60 including shipping. We sent it out Tuesday and they ended up just sending a brand new back and it arrived today! They had said it could take 2 weeks, so 3 days is very nice. Now I can do my weigh in tomorrow

Congratulations on your weight loss. I think I found 2.10 lbs of it.

I don't know if it's because I wasn't really eating while dh was sick and now am eating a little more, or because I have had the gkids this week and have been eating with them or just I'm not trying as hard as I need to. It's probably the last one, hopefully I will do much better next week.

Thanks again Luvaboo for being this weeks coach and to MelanieC for being our new coach. Hopefully next week I can make you proud.

Good luck everyone.

I like how you changed me from LuvBaloo to Luvaboo, which in my head sounds like a little kid saying lovable!
And I think step one is trying, and am proud of everybody who is making an effort! I hope you get a loss next week, so you feel proud of it


pjlla - Please share the breakfast cookie recipe!

jennz - that clippie looks great!

Thanks for being this weeks coach That's a great question.
1 - psychology - I took some in college to get the evil arts credits so I could finish my science degree, and I actually really enjoyed. I think its fascinating how the mind works.
2 - needlework - I can do many crafts (sew, knit, crochet, embroider, etc), but am not an expert in any, and I'd like to try spinning and weaving eventually.
3 - travel more - I want to go all the way across Canada one day.
4 - stock market
5 - fly an airplane

way to go! did you add an extra cup of water to balance out the alcohol? (I'm assuming there was alcohol involved in that)

See that's what's great about it no alcohol involved. Just one of those little red candies that burn your mouth up. The more you suck on it the hotter is gets.
