Daily Joke: 10% guarantee that they will be funny!

Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
- African Proverb 


----------------------------------Joke of the Day------------------------------

Two little kids, aged six and eight, decide it's time to learn how to swear. So, the eight-year-old says to the six-year-old, "Okay, you say 'ass' and I'll say 'hell'". All excited about their plan, they troop downstairs, where their mother asks them what they'd like for breakfast. "Aw, hell," says the eight-year-old, "gimme some Cheerios." His mother backhands him off the stool, sending him bawling out of the room, and turns to the younger brother.

"What'll you have?"

"I dunno," quavers the six-year-old, "but you can bet your ass it ain't gonna be Cheerios.

#1 nycolea (Edit) May 19 2007 14:26 HI GUYS!!! This is the official thread for team one. On Friday or Saturday you will be weighing in on this thread! Well, first things first... how about some introductions. Tell the rest of the team about yourself. We also need to start getting some ideas for the team name. Oh, and does anyone want to be co-captain? If you don't that's fine, I won't force you. lol Oh, and don't forget to start your Cardio Challenge this Monday! And don't forget to Be Active!

#2 nycolea (Edit) May 19 2007 14:36 Oh, right I forgot my intro. Well, I am a 17 year old Junior in Highschool. I have been overweight since about the 1st grade, even though before then I was so skinny people would joke that my mom never fed me. Basically I want to lose weight for my birthday, July 13th, 2007,  senior pictures (I hate my fat face) October 2007, and Senior Prom, May 2008.  I want to go to prom in a dress that is fashionable and nice fitting, not the only dress in the store that fits me. I also want to lose weight to boost my self esteem. While I know that losing weight will not make me totally happy, it is a start. I started my lifestyle change on September 1st of 2006 bys imply walking home from school. I then started walking home from school and intense walking at the park everyday afterschool. I even convinced my mom to get DDR for me. I started at 219 lbs.  In about 3 months I had lost about 30lbs. But then the holiday season came. I gave myself every exscuse in the book. "Its the holidays and it a tradition to stuff myself. I'll exercise twice as much to work off the extra food. I'll start over on New Years." None of these things happened. So basically I gained back 10 pounds in two months. Then I lost 5 of the pounds, and then gained it all back. Right now I have gotten back down to 193 lbs, but again I have been falling off the wagon. Whenever I get stressed I eat, therefore I eat all the time. But day by day I am working on it.  It seems like it does me more harm to deceive myself by coming up with excuses. But calorie-count helps me with that. SO THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE MOTIVATION TO KEEP ON TRACK!

#3 newdock (Edit) May 19 2007 18:26 Hi everyone!  I am here too and looking forward to this challenge.

I am 37.  Currently 181 and hoping to be at 159 by the end of the challenge.  My overall goal is 143.  I'm not sure if my goals are too lofty, but anything in that direction would be good :)

I have 4 children aged 5-13 and am a very busy stay-at-home mom who finds it hard to do things for myself.

#4 nycolea (Edit) May 19 2007 18:46 Nice to meet you New Dock, I think I read on your profile that you are a race car driver's wife... pretty cool!

A race car driver's wife?  Wrong person!!  But that is pretty cool.  My hubby is definitely not a race car driver....but he might give you a speeding ticket!!

oops lol sorry about that

Anyone got any ideas for team names yet?

Hi all.  I'm 22.  My goal is to get to my goal weight before my wedding on November 10th.  I have about 50 more pounds to lose before that happens, and I have lost about  17 pounds so far.

I like onederfullosers as a name too.  it's cute :-)

are pickles really 0 calories? I read on the jar they are at least 5 per spear!

dreamcruz:  OK! My Name is Laura and I am 32 yrs old. I have a husband, 2 children of my own and 1 stepson who is 18( he currently does not live with us). I am 220 and I did weigh 240 when I started CC on Feb 23. I am 5'5. I run a daycare and only watch 2 kids. In the middle of june I will be getting 4 more kids to watch! They are all under age 9! I want to to weigh at least 150 but I am just shooting for 200 by July!

dreamcruz-  she is from the other team and trying to 'sabatoge' us.  LOL. 


We still need a name.........who has ideas?  Anyone?   I'm going to try to think of some, I'm at a loss right now :)

forks Get OUTTA HERE! Stop trying to sabotage my team... I'm sorta against Onederfulloser since our enemy came up with it lol

I didn't realize she was an enemy when I okay'ed it.  haha.  but now I veto it too.  :)

I walked for 35 minutes today.

Have a great walk team

Hi everyone,

Thanks for our team lead for organizing this!..

My friend is visiting me over this weekend and we are driving to different places.. from Fri (05/25) till Tue(05/29).....Yes, we'll be walking..a lot..But not specifically as in treadmill or roadside cardio..and I won't have access to internet..during the travel..I guess..! Will see..Just so you'll know.. that I don't get blamed for being a non-active member..! :(

However, I'll try my best to still complete my challenge for this week/next week..

Yay! I'm in team 1..
Lets make this dream come true!!

Good morning team!  I have a "date" with my neighbor friend to head out for our walk/run at 8:45 a.m. 

I'll let you know the results and our time when I'm back.

How is everyone else making out?  Where is the rest of our team?  I hope they haven't disappeared already!

I have no ideas for a team name - I'm not the most creative person :)

anyone out there? is there a team name already suggested yet?

How about "L1ght"House
