I like not knowing the to date results until the end, its fun guessing who will win.

Oh fudge, i haven't had it this summer. Now i want some. It wasn't Laura's fudge from the Jersey shore was it? (i can tell your from Philly from your username).

Well i'm down a measley .5 lbs, that's right not even a whole pound. lol I was bad this weekend, so i can live with that.

I just want to make sure everyone agrees! I vaguely remember last season (or the first one) some people not wanting to see the overall results before the end of the competition. You all discuss amongst yourselves and just let me know!

So, I'd rather not know who's winning until the end. I like the surprise and I'm afraid if I'm getting my butt kicked I will just give up or not try as hard cuz I know I can't win. If people keep track of the weekly results they can kind of figure out who's at the top of the list.

I had a great week this week tho! Worked out hard (I'm sore) and most importantly NO Ice Cream or Soda! Oh and I've completely stopped drinking alcohol. Woohoo. I can't believe how motivating having all of you around is... so Thank You! I've lost something every week so far.

I gained one pound...boo hoo. My life has been too crazy for me to handle.

i'm from south jersey (right outside philly) and i'm a mummer with durning string band. no, sadly it wasn't laura's fudge ... we were up in the poconos for the week and actually got it at a little amusement park called knoebels.

i ate and drank with wild abandon and only gained .1 pounds back! it sucks that i haven't lost anything since the first week, but i am really happy that i at least didn't undo the initial loss!

how are the rest of you girls doing?

i thought that i wanted to know the standings but you raise a VERY good point. if i'm not even close to winning i will probably slack.

i vote to save it for the end!

I would rather know week to week where I am. If I don't win that's okay but I would like to know if I'm in the running.

I'm from SJ too. I love the stringbands, thats so cool your in one.

Just forget about last week and start fresh this week. You can't beat yourself up over it but you can vow to do better.

oh trust me, i'm over it! haha! i'm still in utter disbelief that i didn't gain like 15 lbs on vacation with what i ate and drank! must have had something to do with all the walking, swimming, bedroom activity, etc. hehe!

i just can't go the other way now thinking that i can get away with eating cake all the time!

Last week was much better. I lost the 2 lbs I gained back, plus another .5 lb. Woohoo!
