If Eircom_sucks doesnt mind, I can have a cut off doing the league thingy, I would attack it slighly different, anyone can join at any time, I'll give weekly%, overall % and date joined the league(i.e no. of weeks in the overall%).

only a suggestion

what do people think?

Those puppies are adorable and look well looked after and ad says you can see both parents - done deal doesnt have a very good reputation where animals are concerned - lots of dogs from puppy farms advertised there so if anyone is thinking of getting animals from ads please make sure you see at least one parent. Some of the puppies from these farms are not looked after and can have all kinds of health problems.

Hope the date goes well you do realise all of us will be waiting to hear every last detail

Down half a lb at WI. I'm ok with that, was expecting a lb but TOTM due this week so kinda half expected that.

Confession: Just had chicken nuggets and chips from the chipper and am also having 1 drink. But definitely going to try and be VERY good from tomorrow on. I seem to be having chipper a lot on Wednesdays and don't want to get into that rut, it isn't a reward or anything, it is because I usually don't have anything cooked and am STARVING and want something super quick and tasty... Have to be more prepared.

I would be up for it if it was executed slightly differently and if there was a bit more of a personal touch. I can imagine you would be good at it with your knowledge of excel

Would you mind putting up the muffin recipe? Thanks

I'm so totally jealous of everyone who is getting these amazing losses this week!

In other news, I told my mam last night that I was doing WW. She mentioned that some chap at work is doing it and he looks great now, she was impressed by it. So I mentioned that I have been doing it and she goes "I hope you don't get any skinnier, I think you are getting a bit obssessed with this" :eek: I cannot win If I hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have said a thing Oh well. Hopefully I will be down tomorrow, only 3.5lbs to goal It seems so far away though

Dont mind her LOL I some times wonder why people close to us think we are going to far but its some one else they think they look great.

Thanks guys , needed that

you know what I did to stop that happening, stopped buying biscuits so I could not be tempted, may be that might help. keep at it, it takes a more than two weeks to change habits of a lifetime and they can be changed

And i think of getting a new puppy! So he'll keep me busy! toilet training, lead training, and maybe enter a few shows and he's from a great breeder so he may actually WIN! Little Red Setter...

If the date goes well... i'll talk him into taking me up to Laois in a few weeks to see the pups

Dont have any holidays planned for the year....so the last few weeks has been kinda semi holiday from ww rules...like i'm eating healthy....just eating HUGE amounts of healthy foods LMAO

beautiful pup I had a red setter growing up she was a brill dog Shandy loved her sadly she was stolen by guys who broke in to our house. I have a white german shepard only 4 monts old and mad so serious training needed.

I'm studying animal care at the moment, and doing animal management next year. I know all too well about the ethics and lack there of with some breeders.

I was iffy about using done deal, but that ad looked genuine. and i've already spoken to the breeder, he's on holidays...but still emailed me back. some ppl are selling at crazy low prices...to good to be true kinda thing. or if the pic has like 15 puppies all "from the same litter" there prob like 3 litters thrown together (puppy farm) I've worked with ex puppy farm bitches in rescue shelters....heart breaking! I also wanna use the puppy/dog as a showcase to promote old irish breeds...so ppl arent going out looking for designer breeds....thus creating the demand for them for puppy farmers.

I've always had a soft spot for gingers....an irish setter fits LOL.

I figure having a new dog to show off will get me out of the house meeting ppl, going to shows, walking the dog, charity dog walks....keep me away from the fridge :P LMAO

Last exam tomorrow.....oh god i cant wait to sleep in all weekend! and guzzel water and bran muffins for the weekend....get rid of the bloating and dark circles! my brain is about to explode....i cant actually tell if i know the stuff or not!

good few interested in my proposal, I'll start building a fancy excel sheet ...

I propose:

• people send me their weekly weight figure prior to Saturday.
• I'll use 00:00 saturday as the cut-off point(i.e. friday is last day of one week, saturday is the start of the next), any weights that come in after this will be used for the next week.
• if you miss a week, I'll use your previous weeks weight (i.e. you will show as 0.00% lost for the week in question), but you will still be in the league
• newbies are free to join at any time
• I will post No.Weeks active(how long are you in our little league), % lost that week. % lost since joining the league.
• To give people a chance to join from the start, cut off for the first weigh-in figures is midnight Fri 21/05/2011(so your WI weight between this saturday and friday week)

Hope everyone thinks this is fair

You know what count me in! Saturday - Friday is my ww week, this one sounds a lil more forgiving....

I assume starting weights wont be shown?

just amount loss,
% loss since joining the table,
and how many weeks the person has been doing it?

That sounds a little kinder...more motivating less competitive...

With regard to the PM issues...can you PM ppl back to confirm you got there results...just so things arent getting lost along the way

I will only post weekly and overall %'s and the number of weeks you have been part of the 'league', no weights(weights are on a different tab on the spread sheet than the %'s) + people would be able work back and calculate starting weights if you have the weight lost in a week and the % that represents, so no weights displayed
I wont be deleting people from the league, if a PM doesnt get to me or get's lost, worst that will happen is that the week in question your weight will show same as the previous week

Went to my first meeting in 9 weeks last Thursday and was up 10lbs! Gutted. I was 2 pounds from goal and instead skyrocketed in the wrong direction. To make matters worse I had a hen weekend at the weekend...ugh. Weigh in tonight. Really need the motivation boost. Fingers crossed for some sort of miracle!

we're doing a bit of a 'league' thingy, starting from tomorrow, if you're interested, just have a look thru som e previuos post.

I personally find this kinda thing very motivating
