Losin It

OK. It starts tomorrow. Here's the deal. Weigh in. Then leave a comment with your starting numbers, goal, and plan of attack. It's gotta be realistic. 12 weeks. Weigh in every Saturday and post it here. If you're in for the cash side of things, we're doing $5 bucks a week. I'll collect each weekend unless you're not a Harvester. If that's the case, contact me and we'll make arrangements. Everyone who makes their goal splits the pot. So, Saturday, look for the post. Post your numbers. And get hungry.

Maui in Milwaukee

I like sunglasses. No, I should say, I like good sunglasses. I lost my shades in the KC airport on my way back to MKE. Maui Jim's. They were my favorites I've ever had. I've been doing without since then. But today I was sitting outside at The Fixx with Amelia and I could hardly see. It was so bright. I had already planned to go walk around the mall this morning with Amelia. And there, in front of me. Sunglass Hut. I was weak. But my eyes feel much better. Last time, black/grey. This time, tortoise/bronze.

I like my shades.

Who's Who

I added Statcounter to my blog and it's been interesting to see how many hits I'm getting. Not that it's an overwhelming number, mind you. But it's got all kinds of graphs and things. My favorite is a map that show's where people are who visit BNS. I recognize most, but there are some surprises. I'll be checking the stats to see how many hits I can run up!

2 days...

...till we start "Losin' it 2008" I'm still looking for input on the cash incentive side of the contest. Your thoughts?

Lurkers come forth...

OK, I'm just plain curious. A couple of you have told me that you're reading this. But I'm really wondering who's out there lurking in the shadows. Time to step into the light. Please, take a second and leave a post so everybody knows who's out there. Consider it a favor to yours truly.

IMac

Regina and I have officially made the switch at home. I'm typing this on our new IMac. It is truly a thing of beauty. Nice to look at and easy to use. Loads of cool stuff and it does the things a computer should do. And it does them easily. The photo program itself has been the best thing so far. Regina has been able to go through all our photos since Amelia was born. She's got them in categories and albums and we're sharing on our .Mac page. Nice. Anyway, for those of you who are too fearful (or stubborn), take a cue from this former Windows die-hard. Mac is the way to go.

Losin It

We'll start on Saturday. Here's the deal. You must have a realistic weight loss goal. You must tell us what it is and how you plan to reach it. Don't go crazy with details. Come back each Saturday and update your progress and see how everyone else is doing. Now for the fun part. I was talking to Frank about motivation last night. Try this on for size... Starting this Saturday, we'll go for 12 weeks. Each week we each put a little dough in the pot. At the end of the 12 weeks, each of us who reach our goal split the pot. Interested? How much $ per week? Come on, who's in???
