Congrats all- nice work.  I honestly think this is the first time I have seen the "Weight Loss Forum" go anywhere .  

@Fishlessman - are you gonna have that toast now??

Kruegs

Very new here...first post actually, but I'd love to get involved with the weightloss competition in the future!  Current weight is 352# down 8.5 after 1.5 weeks on weight watchers.

 

Love the forum and can't wait to do some more cooks on my new LBGE!

fletcherfam

@Kruegs, If there is enough interest maybe we could do another one?

For me it was really breaking my lunch routine.  I work a great group of people and lunch is a social deal and my lunch choices were horrible.  I started egging 3 or 4 days worth of chicken or lean beef on Sunday, to bring for lunch with usually salad with balsamic dressing.  I was spending probably $60 per week at lunch so besides the weight I've saved some money too.  The dieting carried over and I've been hitting the gym and meeting with our workplace nutritionist.  I still need to drop about 50 pounds to meet the height/weight standards but I'm focusing more on my behavior and the weight should take care of itself.

@HI54Putty, if you really want pictures contact each individual who was in the contest to get their OK. Then forward me their release and I can send you each individuals before and after pictures. That was the rules of the contest that I received these.

Please let me know when you have received the ok and I will get you those pictures.

I hope you were trying to be humorous because they made me laugh. At Christmas time when all the sweets come out I always would respond to the what did you get for Christmas question with the answer diabetes.

Sorry grif if I did offend.

also great job to all the people who were offended

Just trying to make light of a serious issue. Was just diagnosed, but I can laugh about it. Life's too short not to have a good sense of humor.
