Cuteness....

I think it's time I added a lot of cuteness to my blog...

Happy 41st, Murray! We love you so much! (I love Eli's hair in this pic)

We (meaning me) were super sad when the Colts got knocked out of the playoffs. We're gonna watch the Super Bowl but it just won't be the same...

On another note, I am LOVING Facebook! I avoided it like the plague for a long time. I thought it would be so overwhelming and give me all this info I didn't really want to know but now that I have "figured" it out (for the most part), I am REALLY enjoying it! (Thanks, Candice...and Kim!) It is so organized and easy to connect with others. It's easier than blogging and I highly encourage you to join (if you've avoided it for the same reasons I did.) It really isn't overwhelming. My biggest recommendation is to turn off all your email alerts...those are just ridiculous! Anyway, add me as a friend if you decide to jump on the FB train!

For the love of Candice...

Well, I held out as long as I could. However, today, I officially signed-up for Facebook! Candice has been telling me how cool it is. I've been telling her how overwhelming it is. Candice has been telling me how easy it is to get connected. I've been telling her how busy I am and that I don't have time to get connected. Candice told me how great it would be for our Biggest Loser Club to have a special FB group so we could chat with one another and share ideas, recipes and encouragement. I told her I'd sign-up!

I am still totally overwhelmed by it, but admit I like some things about it. It's clear to me that most everyone now communicates via FB and no longer on blogs. (I haven't had a comment in forever). I guess FB did to blogs what email did to snail mail. I still prefer snail mail but the sad reality is that hardly anyone uses it anymore (except those annoying credit card companies!).

I'll still blog about our family and stuff to keep record of our adventures or lack thereof! If you're on FB, look me up. I'll try to figure out how to be your friend!

Thanks, Candice (I think)!! See you on FB!

We're off!!!

I am SUPER EXCITED to announce that our Biggest Loser Club is 34 members strong!!! We are off the couch and earning points like crazy (hopefully, we all are, club members will see the results of week 1's points Wednesday morning!).

Membership is officially closed. I can't believe we have 34 members. I was hoping for 10! I think it's cool that there are 34 members (including myself). I am going to lose a pound for every person in the club. That'll put me right at my goal weight!!

I'll be back with some things I am learning on this journey later.

I'm off to drink some water (I haven't made my water points yet....why is that so hard????)

TONIGHT!!

Well, it's here! The big kick-off for our Biggest Loser Club and the premiere of the new season! I am SO EXCITED. We are nearing 25 members! So pumped for that. I found out that the finale is May 12th so that gives us plenty of time to all make some big time transformations!

If you want to join us (read posts below for details) send an email to iamthebiggstloser@yahoo.com by 10/9pm central (the end of the Biggest Loser premiere) TODAY, January 6th.

Also, pay close attention to the Pound for Pound Challenge. General Mills will donate 1 pound of food to U.S. food banks for every pound you lose during the season. It's cool!

Points start counting tomorrow!!! Let's go!! Bob and Jillian are waiting!!

16 members and counting!!!!
