June 14

Hi Everybody, I had a very busy week and haven't had much time to blog or anything else. My youngest daughter went into labor Tuesday night. She had a beautiful , healthy boy. My first grandson. My granddaughter is 15, so this is like our first one all over again. Any way ,I had to stay at their house in Thompson to take care of their dogs. She comes home tomorrow. My wife is staying there tonight and to get things ready for them when they come home with their bundle of Joy.     More next week.......   Tim

Hi Everybody, Hope you guys had a good weight in. I was a little worried , but I didn't need to. Some times I think Iam not doing well and I still lose weight. And other times I think I had a good week and a little or no weight loss. Oh well hang in there , about 7 weeks left.                     Tim

May 18

This contest is starting to get old. Two weeks ago I gained a half a pound. Last week I lost two and a half pounds. I just weight myself and Iam up one and a half pounds. I don't cheat at all, I work out 4-5 times a week, follow my weight - watchers  and still yo-yoing. It starting to be a pain. Also someone keeps hacking into my blog, help Laura...............        Tim

Hi Everybody, Hope alls well after Sat. weight-in. We had the dinner Tuesday at Cabanas , but we got there a little early. We told our waiter about our group, but he said no that for someone else. By then we had gotten our food, and were not going to carry our food up the stairs. So we just sat there and listen, oh well.  One other thing, Someone used my blog and wrote something on it, its not from me, hope Laura can help.    Tim

RE: April 24

 Hi Everyone, We are getting close to our most scary weight-in yet. Hope everyone does well, but I think we might be losing a few people. I had my monthly meeting with Cori on Tuesday and she said it doesn't look good for a few. To the rest of us , its full steam ahead to the finish line. Its amazing how good I fell after losing the weight I have lost so far. If everyone else could feel this way, We all would have good numbers. I cant explain why this time Iam not back sliding yet. Every diet that I have been on starts off with good intentions , but does not last. This is the first time I have been honest with myself, and I want to really lose the weight. Thank You Laura and thanks to everyone who is wishing all of us well, and giving us this chance for success.   Tim

Hello Everyone, How is everyone feeling after Saturdays weight in.  Hope everybody had good numbers, but I know some of you didt. Hang in there, theres still a little time. Push away from the dinner table and go for a walk. Not just for this contest, but for the rest of your life. The weight that I have lost is mind blowing for me. I just made up my mind to do this, knowing that so many people are watching . I just cant mess up now. So if everyone could feel this way, it would give you another reason to lose. So hope this helps......Tim
