Come on everyone! Step up and face the scales. What better way to get ready for those holiday parties. No better way than to lose weight than with friends. Still waiting on all the beginning weights.
Hello,
All the beginning weights are in. We do have 11 people in the contest - some are scrap dogs and some are friends or family. Please send in your weight to me by noon on Tuesday (this way you can do either a Monday weight or a Tuesday weight). Tuesday evening, I will post the standings on the blog. Best to check off the box so that you get a message every time that someone post to this blog. And everyone should post comment, cheering and any hints to make this a successful and fun contest.
Well, the last person finally managed to get to a scale and a computer.
After all is said and done...it looks like I have taken the first week (must have been all that chasing to get the weights!)
There was a total of 23.6 pounds lost this week with an average weight loss of .91%. Good Going! Let's keep it up and see what we can accomplish in the ten weeks.

See you on the blog!
Hi bloggers!
Here I am Carol, checking out the blog site. I've gotta say, I'm bad at this kind of stuff, hopefully I am better at weight loss than I am at remembering to check out the site!
Our current step in wedding planning is finding a baker, so between tastings and Steve's birthday festivities there has been cake shoved at me every single day now for almost a week- yikes!
Jane, I use some brown sugar splenda and cinnamon and put in on cut apples and bake them a little bit in the toaster oven, top it with some fat free cool whip, very tasty! Or use the b.s.s. as part of an oat topping and bake that on- try searching weightwatchers.com for a good recipe!
Thanks Carol....
The Mr Spice Indian Curry sauce with onions, celery and apples sauteed and over chicken was awesome.
Believe it or not I have Mr Spice brochures from 10 years ago (give or take 5) and got the recipe from it. YUMMY.
Good Diet dinner to bad the rest of the day is in the crapper.
All,
Week 3 has closed and.......guess what.......I am still ahead!
Catch me if you can!

Just to put this in perspective - As a group, we have lost a whopping 43.8 pound in 3 weeks! Good going! Just think - if we all lose just 1 teeny tiny pound this week, we can hit 55 pounds. Let's go for it!
Here is something that was shared with me this week that I thought might help you through your day:
This is specially formulated diet designed to help cope with the stress that builds during the day.
Breakfast
1 grapefruit
1 slice whole wheat toast
1 cup skim milk
Lunch
1 small portion lean steamed chicken
1 cup spinach
1 cup herbal ! tea
1 Hershey's kiss
Afternoon Snack
The rest of the Hershey kisses in the bag
1 tub of Hagen-Daaz ice cream with chocolate chips
Dinner
4 glasses of wine (red or white)
2 loaves garlic bread
1 family size supreme pizza
3 Snickers Bars
Late Night Snack
1 whole Sarah Lee cheesecake (eaten directly from the freezer)
Remember: Stressed spelled backward is desserts.
Did that put a smile on your face?
Have a nice week..and I will be waiting to hear from everyone by noon on Tuesday
Hello, Biggest Losers!
Check out the bottom of the blog page for some fun applications for dieters!
OK...
I did say catch me if you can... And Max did just that - and more! Max is now the one to beat. We just can not go down without a fight! I need for you to put that cupcake back. Jane stop eating all the apple pies! We all need to get out there and walk a bit! No excuses. I know that this week is Halloween and we are all going to be faced with mountains of sweets and treats. Move on past them! They are not treats - - they are tricks.
This week was not such a stellar week for the team as a whole - we gained 2.2 pounds. BUT we still have lost a whopping 41.6 pounds in a month!
Good Going!

I just had a thought....For each posting to the blog (other than me) for the next week, I will add 50¢ to the pot. Come on people. Let's get some chatter going here.......
Hi all! I'm honored to have been accepted as a contestant in the Scrap DOGS "Biggest Loser" contest. I really credit the Team, and the Contest, for motivating me. I was pretty hungry all the time that first week, and a little confused, too. Where was my food that i liked to eat whenever i wanted? But things got better!
To be continued...
Max
First, I am so pleased that everyone reported in without me chasing anyone down That made my life easier.
Second, over all we did GOOD! Collectively we lost 4.2 ponds this week! Good going! We only had a few that ate more than they gave out. This make a total of 45.8 pounds we have lost in 5 weeks. As everyone send in this week, everyone said that they were starting all over.
This is the beginning of the second half. Let's have a new beginning.
I do have to say that I am a bit disappointed that there was only one person who took me up on my offer to add 50¢ to the pot for each posting on the blog. I am going to extend it another week. Come on...let's get some chatter going here. I feel like I am talking to myself.

Throw out all the snack foods, make an extra visit to the gym or get out there and walk an extra 5 miles. You know, we are the scrap dogs and we WALK. I want everyone to get out and walk an extra 5 miles and let us know. BLOG IT!!! I will throw in an extra $1 for each person who walks the extra 5 miles and reports it on the blog.

This week is closed. If you did not get your weight in, we can handle for next week.
Everyone needs to watch what you eat on National Stuff Yourself Day. You can really enjoy the day AND eat reasonably....lots of turkey, not so much pumpkin pie.
Let's have a good reporting next week. As a group, we have lost 58 pounds in 8 weeks. That is great. Let's try for 65 by next Tuesday. Anyone for a walk over the weekend???? I know that everyone has extra time to fit in an extra workout (or two). I can only imagine that everyone is off on Thursdy and Friday.

Enjoy the holiday!
I am up for a walk this weekend. You? I generally walk around my neighborhood - want to try and meet some where as a group? Let me know. Happy Thanksgiving. Jane
Hello, everyone. Mr.Max here. I know i'll be eating too much and exercising too little the next few days, so this is your chance to make sure that YOU, and not i, win the Biggest Loser contest. Of course, lately i haven't been much of a threat to anyone ... except maybe the field mice. Chew slowly, enjoy your holiday meal, and spit some of it out over your bowl, like i do! Happy Holiday!
The Biggest Loser Contest drew to a close last night. The winner was Carol. Well, actually the winner was the MS Society. There were 14 participants in the contest. At $20 a piece, that is a total of $280 dollars that will go to the MS Society. I can say that, as a prize, I did receive a gift certificate to a fine restaurant in the area and will be taking a very special friend out to dinner.
The final tally is below. Keep in mind that we are all winners. The group, as a whole lost 65.6 ponds in 10 weeks! That is fabulous!
Ali G -1.55%
Carol P 8.26%
