Quote  |  Reply
We all love this site and Erik for everything he has done here, so lets all flood Oprah with emails about Calorie-count! If we all send oprah an email telling her there is someone out there that cares about us and wants to help for free, we can help Erik!  This is the only way I think we can Let Erik and everyone at Calorie-Count know how much we appreciate the hard work.  So everyone send Oprah YOUR Calorie-Count story!!

 here is the link to make a show suggestion.  If we all send in, maybe we can get Erk on!

I sent my email....have you??

want to say I clicked on "We want your show ideas"
I sent my emal just now.  I agree...it would be neat to get Erik on the show along with a few of the people who have lost weight from it.  I love the stories about those who have done EVERYTHING and never succeeded until they came here.  What great testimonies.  I hope this works.

Great idea, slappy!
neeners I think you have an awesome story! 
thanks, slappy, i just wrote to michael moore, too.  mike@michaelmoore.com.

(in case anyone doesn't know, he's the guy who made the movie "supersize me."  i thought he should know someone is DOING something about the problem.)

erik, we're going to make you FAMOUS!!  lol
slappy...thanks.  We all have interesting stories.  I've really never shared my whole story.  I believe you're like the only one.  Geez, I just thought about that.  Hmmm.
I appreciate you sharing with me.   I feel honored to be your friend!
Actually this guy made Supersize Me

Great idea, Slappy!!  Wonder how Erik, Igor and crew feel about it? 
I was wondering ... why not Igor and Viktor on the show also? Or would they rather stay sort of behind the scenes?
I want them all on!   I know Erik said it sounded good to him! maybe they will respond to the post!
I am very interested. But I am afraid I don't really know what to say in the email? What are you guys saying?

I think what Erik is doing here is superb! I feel that God is working through this site...and miracles are happening. This is the kind of information that one normally gets from a nutritionist...but I have it here right under my fingertips. I would love to support this site in anyway that I can.
I just sent my email... great idea! hey... maybe we'll all get an invite and get to be on the show... and all get to meet each other too!

haha
we can all be in the audience!!!
There are almost 200,000 of us....we'd need to be in one very large auditorium!
cyndya...you just said it!  Type that in the email!!!!  This is a gift from God!  Just say what you really feel about the site, the more people the better luck we have!  Just tell your story, what you were doing that didnt work and how this site has worked!  What you have lost because of this site!
Ya'll rock!  Maybe someone could mention that we've collectively lost more than a ton too?
thats a great Idea!!!! we need to keep adding to that post!  Ive been stuck at the same weight for 2 weeks! 
Erik....I'm assuming there may be a really quick way to determine the weight lost on this site through your server?  Can't you just tell it to compute the total weight loss of all the people here?  I don't really know how that works, but my personal loss is posted on the front page of this site.  So, the computer is tracking it.  Any possibility to get that total figure.  I'm sure it's over 2,000 pounds...cuz some people just don't post their loss through that thread.
thats true.  not everyone participates in the forums.  is there a way to figure we have this many that use the site and have lost this much all together!

You know I got started on this a while back and it actually turned out to be more difficult than I thought and abandoned it to move onto more pressing stuff.  I will do that someday though, and include it as part of our live stats on the homepage!
