    Sweetie_666, your glasses are ADORABLE. Love them. May I ask where you got them? And welcome to the group!

    Thank you so much! I actually found them in this really cute second hand store in Corvallis, OR. They were only $5.00. I came back home to my eye doctor and had her put my new lenses in them. I love them so much! I actually just got another new pair :D I'll have to get a picture wearing those.

    *shakes fist in air* Curse you for finding adorable glasses that are one-of-a-kind! That's so cool that your doctor was able to put the lenses in 'em. I'd love to see your new pair!

    Speaking of cheap glasses, my pair of Bulgari glasses were destroyed by my puppy dog. When I was whining about the massacre, my friend told me about Zenni Optical. I was skeptical, but dude, they rock. I got two pairs of glasses - one regular pair and one pair of sunglasses - for $30 TOTAL. Shipping and all. They arrived and two weeks and the prescription is perfect. You gotta check out the site whenever you're in the mood to add another pair of specs to your arsenal! www.zennioptical.com

    Oh my goodness.....I'm so in freaking love with that site right now. I am all over that! *excited*

    I'm totally up for it. 20 pounds by Halloween. I'm sure I can do it. Positive thinking.. I've lost a total of 18 pounds since i've started dieting. I've come to a stand still right now. Hoping to get over it really soon. My husband is on a diet as well and has lost 36 pounds. Hmmmm why do men always lose faster then we do? I'm keeping at it.. Everyone on here is doing great...

    Question - would anyone find it helpful in any way, shape, or form, if I were to create a club website that houses our member list, weigh-in stats, challenges, group pictures, etc? We'd still use these boards as our primary communication tool...

    Or would we prefer to keep everything in these message boards?

    I would prefer to keep them here as I think I would forget to go to an outside website to update.

    You don't have to go there to update anything! Keep all reporting and conversation in here. I'll grab the weigh-in posts and add them to the log. All anyone has to do, if they're interested, is just join the site to see the whole group's progress on one big spreadsheet.

    Looks like everyone's doing good and hanging in there. Unfortunatly, I can't weigh in this week. I'll weigh in wednesday morning (if the weather holds up and allows me to get home tuesday *crosses fingers*) I always weigh myself on my own scales. The ones here at work are different everytime you step on them..no lie.. the other day I stepped on it, 148 (mind you mine at home says 145) then I stepped off it, waited til it went back to 0 and stepped on again.. guess what...151!!! No I ask you WTF!?!?! And so, I don't trust it.

    ***H20 Website!***

    OK since I'm a stubborn monkey and couldn't wait, I went ahead and made us a website.

    www.teamh20.webs.com (the 0 is numeric, not the "O" from the alphabet)


    Awesome!!! Thanks!!

    Hello everyone :)

    I just joined the challenge. What are you guys doing for exercise to help with your goals? I have a week of catching up to do.

    So does everyone know what they are going to wear/be for Halloween?

    Thanks

    www.teamh20.webs.com (the 0 is numeric, not the "O" from the alphabet)

    To protect us from the general public, I made it so everything except the homepage is blocked unless you sign up as a member of the Team H20 site. Join if you'd like - I've anointed myself as secretary of the club and will do my best to keep records of the weigh-ins and other happenings.

    In regards as to who is included in the log, I went through the starting weight thread and added everyone who posted in there. If you don't see yourself, let me know!

    If you see anything wrong with the site, logs, etc, give me a hollar! :)

    Great site :) I signed up.

    Hi! Welcome to the challenge! Right now I'm working on the Couch 2 5K running program to help with my goals.
    I don't know what I want to be for Halloween yet.

    Hi! I'm gonna jump in this challenge!! I've gained 10 pounds in the last month, and I guess I've just gotten to the point that I'm absolutely sick of myself. My current weight is 236 so I would LOVE to be 216 in 2 months. I have a gym membership, but I really don't have time to go. So I HAVE to make time now!
    I just poured an entire jug of sweet tea down the sink... that was sooo hard LOL
    So now onto working my butt off!
