And now for a male version.
I have three women in my house (wife and two kids - just thought I'd clarify) and they are all in synch. I need a second house for one week of every month. I reckon those female hormones are the cause of many an issue - particularly on us guys!!!

Having said that, I'm off now for that chocolate - I'll report back with a review.

Sound like you need to name your house "Casa Estrogena"

Larry - Yes! I must agree...you men are saints. But always remember we do not control of our hormones, they control us. (At least that's what I've been telling my DH and he still buys it)  ;)  My brother has 4 females to contend with, now I know why he has a weekend home up in Tahoe. It's all making sense now!

Static - It's infortunate, but I think they all agree. Heck, someday's I can't stand to be around myself. LOL

Capt. Deb - You always keep me laughing....thank you!

You know what's really scary is that my boyfriend knows my schedule better than I do.  Why is that Larry....wait, I think I know.

The navy wives won.  Jillian can be scary, but she really cares about people too...she just knows how to push you past what you thought you were able to accomplish to suprize yourself.

I changed my mind momentarily.....I will be here for support, but will wait till after my surgery to become official...I remembered the "Bad Taste/Rusty Nails" thread....if I'm gonna end up there, I want from now until then to taste everything I love just in case.  No metallic chocolate!

Actually, after my surg, chocolate was the only thing that tasted like it was supposed to.  God bless Dr. Love for running around the barrio looking for Godivas!  He found the killer 77% cocoa bar in the drugstore downstairs.  Also in the dining hall I tried to eat my weight in mashed potatoes every night. Nuthin' wrong with my appetite, apparently.

Not only the hormones but I think all those steroids stay in your system and they make me eat like crazy.  That's my excsue and I'm sticking with it.

  OK you guys, back to the diet subject.  Larry had the right idea.  Every Monday we all report on here  if we did good or not. Should we get really serious and tell our weight every Monday?

Okay, I want in too!

I have been eating all day long!!! Chips, chocolate, carmel, rice crispie treat, and oh so much more!  I have been very bad! :-X

I keep saying I am going to start The South Beach Diet tomorrow and then I shove something bad in my face and think there is always the next day.

Okay, I am going to make a promise that today is the day (even though I am already off to a bad start).  I am going back on "the beach".  I lost 12 pounds over the summer while I was on it - and I don't want to be the fat girl anymore!  When I found out about AN - that all went out the window.  Today is the day!

Thanks for motivating me!  Can I join too?

So should we set some rules?

Like if we are going to report weight lost and actual weight

or just weight lost?

And should we say how we did it (ie, type of diet. type of exercise)?

I already weigh in once a week, I guess twice won't hurt me. I will happily share my Weight watchers tips from my weekly meetings. ;D 

Suz - what is South Beach based on? is it low carb?

BattyP - We think alike! There was a lonely piece of german chocolate cake left sitting in the box this morning... it was soooo good! How many days do we have till weigh in?
