Stepped on the scale this morning and did not lose a single pound!  Could the scale be broken?  Not a good way to start a beautiful Saturday.  Is there a bright side? Oh yeah, at least I didn't gain any weight.....**walks away from laptop very grumpy**  Good Luck Everyone!  

When my son was 6 years old and in 1st grade, his teacher shared this story with me.........My son would always be one of the first children on the playground for recess.  As the other 7 classes were releasing their students through the only double doors leading to the playground....my son would stand on a small mound of dirt waiving his arms towards his body shouting "Come to me my little minions!"   The kids would run to him.  She and I were laughing so hard there were tears in our eyes.:0)

I was hoping to be in the 150s by now.  Happy to have lost the 1 lb,  little disappointed that it wasn't a 2 lb loss.  Good Luck Everyone!             

Follow your heart on this one.  If you always wanted to be an author dress as Hemingway, Poe, Shakespeare, the more eccentric, the funner the dress!  Have fun at the party!

Sorry for the delay....my computer has been down  GGgrrrrrrr!!!   GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I don't have much of an appetite during the daylight hours.  I eat about 1/3 of my calories by mid day.  I have always enjoyed eating a large dinner.  This large meal helps me feel satisfied throughout the evening.  It also allows me a few extra calories for a healthy late nite snack if I need it.

Since joining CC, I have a total loss of 21 lbs! Thanks for this October Challenge and added motivation Restless_Girl!  Good Luck Everyone and I'll see you in the November Challenge!

Hi Novileigh,

I just checked the Activity Log.  There isn't an option for bagging groceries, but there is an activity for putting away groceries.  Pretty similiar task.  I would choose that.  Take care and Good Luck with your weight loss!

Hey Restlessgirl, KUDOS to you for setting up this challenge.  I could not have lost these pounds without it.  You have been a Great Motivator!  GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Here are some facts concerning Massachusetts (Boston in particular) that I had to share. 

Welcome to Bawstin ( Boston )
For those who call New England home, this is just plain great!
Information on Boston and the surrounding area:

There's no school on School Street , no court on Court! Street, no dock on Dock Square , no water on Water Street . Back Bay streets are in alphabetical 'oddah': ! Arlington , Berkeley , Clarendon, Dartmouth , etc. So are South Boston streets: A, B, C, D, etc. If the streets are named after trees ( e.g. Walnut, Chestnut, Cedar), you're on Beacon Hill . If they're named after poets, you're in Wellesley .
Massachusetts Ave is Mass Ave ; Commonwealth Ave is Comm Ave ; South Boston is Southie. The South End is the South End.
East Boston is Eastie. The North End is east of the former West End . The West End and Scollay Square are no more; a guy named Rappaport got rid of them one night. Roxbury is The Burry, Jamaica Plain is J.P.
 
Route 128 is also I-95 south. It's also I-93 north. Most people live here all their life and still don't know what the hell is going on with this one.

How to say these Massachusetts city names correctly:
**Say it wrong, be shunned**
Worcester : Wuhsta (or Wistah)
Gloucester : Glawsta
Leicester Lesta
Woburn : Wooban
Dedham : Dead-um
Revere : Re-vee-ah

Reading : Red-ing
Quincy : Quinzee
Tewksbury : Tooks berry
Leominster : Lemin-sta
Peabody : Pee-ba-dee
Waltham : Walth-ham
Chatham : Chaddum
Samoset: Sam-oh-set or Sum-aw-set but nevah Summerset!
Definitions:
Frappes have ice cream, milkshakes don't.
If it is fizzy and flavored, it's tonic.
Soda is CLUB SODA.
'Pop' is Dad.
When we want Tonic WATER, we will ask for Tonic WATER.
The smallest beer is a pint.
Scrod is whatever they tell you it is, usually fish. If you paid mo re than $6/pound, you got scrod.
It's not a water fountain; it's a bubblah.
It's not a trashcan; it's a barrel.
It's not a spucky, a hero or grinder,... it's a sub.
It's not a shopping cart; it's a carriage.
It's not a purse; it's a pockabook.
They're not franks; they're haht dahgs; Franks are money in Switzahland.

Police don't drive patrol units or black and whites they drive a 'crooza'. If you take the bus, youre on the 'looza crooza'. It's not a rubber band, it's an elastic. It's not a traffic circle, it's a rotary. 'Going to the islands' means Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket.

The Sox = The Red Sox

The Pats = The Patriots
The C's = The Celtics
The B's = The Bruins

Things not to do:
Don't pahk your cah in Hahvid Yahd, they'll tow it to Meffa ( Medford ) or Summahville (Somerville).
Don't sleep on the Common. ( Boston Common)
Don't wear Orange in Southie on St. Patrick's Day.

Things you should know:
There are two State Houses, two City Halls, two courthouses, two Hancock buildings (one old, one new for each).

The colored lights on top the old Hancock tell the weatha':
'Solid blue, clear view....'
'Flashing blue, clouds due....'
'Solid red, rain ahead....'
'Flashing red, snow instead....' - (except in summer; flashing red means the Red Sox game was rained out)
The underground train is not a subway. It's the 'T', and it doesn't run all night (fah chrysakes, this ain't Noo Yawk).
Order the 'cold tea' in China Town after 2:00 am you'll get a kettle full of beer.

Bostonians.... think that it's their God-given right to cut off someone in traffic.
Bostonians...think that there are only 25 letters in the alphabet (no R's - except in 'idea' ).
Bostonians...think that three straight days of 90+ temperatures is a heat wave.
Bostonians...refer to six inches of snow as a 'dusting.'
Bostonians...always 'bang a left' as soon as the light turns green, and oncoming traffic always expects it.
Bostonians...believe that using your turn signal is a sign of weakness.
Bostonians...think that 63-degree ocean water is warm

Hi fashionistaaaaa!

This helped me tremendously.........Check out the "Games & Challenges" forum.  I joined the October Weight Challenge that Restless Girl started.  It keeps me honest and accountable with my calorie counting. 

Everyone in this contest shares the same game goal of Weight Loss.  When you get a chance, take a look.  You will see real people making real progress.  We weigh in once a week.  Hope you join.  Good luck!
