Good Luck in 2010 and hope to see you all next season!

Signing off...your host with the most.

Happy Holidays!

It's crunch time, my fellow team members. Let's all stick to one plate of turkey, ham and stuffing. And only one piece of pumpkin pie. Ok, maybe two.

Then, when we have our final weigh-in on January 4th, we'll be able to hold our heads high. To quote Winston Churchill: "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that ... for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour!'"

Pie, cookies and candy

It's crunch time. Although it'll be hard to resist all the temptations of the holiday table, let's do the best we can. Happy holidays to all.

Be afraid. Be very afraid!

Regarding the new chocolate mint donuts being sold by Dunkin Donuts: My advice is to stay away from them. Their delicious, but addictive. I'm sure the Bavarian creme donuts have far fewer calories and fat. Stick with those.

Promise to try harder

Donut Meister was a little disappointed in this week's weigh-in. He promises to try harder next week.

NOOOOOOO!!

2 weeks of vacation plus Thanksgiving dinner plus leftovers = weight gain. I do not want to step on the scale Monday.

Here we are, at the office the day before Thanksgiving, the official first day of the most challenging part of our effort. Not looking forward to Monday. Or to January 4th. I hear Fashionista is already sliding. I guess some people have to hit rock bottom first.... Be strong, Fashionista!
