[LadyCheese]

Good luck ladies...I too will be passing this time around. I'm eating good and all but I don't want to commit again bc I cant always remember to stay on top of taking pictures and emailing them, etc. esp in the morning when I have to run around to get my daughter ready. I wish you all the best. Its a great incentive and the money is not bad either Have fun.

Sound fair to me!

I had noticed this season a bunch of people just not send anything in, or even respond to my emails/PMs asking if they forgot, etc. I mean, Maura and I are doing this to help out - at least let us know you just don't want to participate anymore - we don't care, but at least we don't have to try to work the spreadsheet!

If someone skipped a week or two, I'd just plug in the number they eventualy DID send me for all weeks that were blank so that for that week it would just show a 0% change. The week to week change really doesn't matter in terms of the overall contest, but I do think it's fun to see the progress.

I will enforce/abide by the rules that you all set - just let me know!

But I will say, I think that participants should be able to send in their weights any time on Wed. just because everyone has such different schedules and we're all in different time zones. The way I was doing it, as long as you got your # in to me by the time I got up Thurs. morning I counted it! lol But again, it's up to you!

FYI - I just the Season II winner the pot ... $450 - that's huge!

[jamaicabride09]

I am soooooooo in! I refuse to go dress shopping until next year.

[Betsy]

Count me in! I have until The 15th to sign up right?? Things have been crazy busy and ever since the wedding I have been eating like a COW MOOOOOOO!! This is exactly what I need!

[Cabo OR Bust]

I'm in on this one. Count me in and good luck ladies!

[amyrak]

I too agree with the posting your pic anytime on Wed. I don't have access to a computer at work and I'm running around like crazy as it is in the morning to have time to upload and send before leaving for work. I need to send my $15 though

[tchuchuca]

I'm in and exited! Ready to look totally HOT! Tee hee!
