The Diamond Challenge: Round 3 - Wk 2 (DITR)

DiamondsInTheRough

Happy Monday Diamonds!

Congratulations on a truly awesome week last week! I have been doing this challenge for fifteen weeks now, and I can honestly say that last week stood out as the best week yet. Your energy level is AWESOME, and I know that we will keep that momentum going this week and for the coming weeks.

As a group Diamonds in the Rough achieved the HIGHEST weight loss number that the group has ever seen! CONGRATULATIONS ladies on an unheard of total loss of 55.2 pounds! In fact, the actual loss was over 60 pounds (DITR does not calculate weigh loss over 5 pounds due to the factors that typically cause such an extreme loss). We ROCKED it ladies.

Now let's celebrate our biggest losers on each team.

Congratulations to Sarah (sazvampire) for losing 5 pounds for the Blue Diamonds!
The Pink Diamond leader was Lisa (lisa_lotte) with a loss of 3.5 pounds.
Representing for the Yellow Diamonds was Michelle (michelle_eiz) who lost 4.4 pounds! Great job ladies!

All of our teams did a great job, but one team had a runaway lead! Congratulations Blue Diamonds who lost a tremendous 25.3 pounds. You ladies rocked it! The Pink and Yellow Diamonds are neck and neck with 14.8 pounds and 15.1 pounds respectively.

We celebrate every loss in Diamonds in the Rough, so congratulations to all of the winning losers. Every loss is a success! Great job to all of the following ladies (in alphabetical order). You ROCKED this!

Unfortunately, this week the DiamondDolls were the victors... they beat us by TWO pounds. You know what this means ladies! This is a CLOSE game and it is truly time to kick it into high gear to kick some DD butt! Let's GO!

Question of the Day: What is the funniest joke you know?

My response: Okay, I'm not exactly a comedian, but here it goes:

John took his blind date to the carnival. "What would you like to do first, Kim?" asked the man. "I want to get weighed," said the girl. They ambled over to the weight guesser. He guessed 120 pounds. She got on the scale; it read 117 and she won a prize. Next the couple went on the ferris wheel. When the ride was over, John again asked Kim what she would like to do. "I want to get weighed," she said. Back to the weight guesser they went. Since they had been there before, he guessed her correct weight, and John lost his dollar.

The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked where to next. "I want to get weighed," she responded. By this time, John figured she was really weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a handshake. Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, "How'd it go?" Kim responded, "Oh, Waura, it was wousy."

Congrats to all of our big losers! Big Big Congrats to my partner Lisa. So So ready to kick DD's butt next week. :grumble: I knew for sure we had done it after seeing all of our big losses. You know what this means ladies. No more slacking on the weekends, the DD are in it to win it and we can't let them. The 4th is coming up and it is going to be too easy to mess up all your hard work. Plan ahead. (That was more for me than anyone else)


Have to come back to answer the QOTD, nothing comes to mind right now. I was so excited to see the results that I couldn't resist posting. :happy:

HungryMom

Way to go Diamonds! What a spectacular loss! I am a fairly competitive person but cannot get upset about losing to Chase and The Dolls when we all did so well. Between our two teams we lost a small person this week ladies.

Monday Joke OTD:
Jeff was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary, and his wife was
really pissed.

She told him, "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds. IT BETTER BE THERE !!"

The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe, ran out to the driveway, and brought
the box back in the house.

She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Jeff has been missing since Friday.

Monday QOTD: Ok, this isn't the funniest joke I have ever heard but a funny that I got in my e-mail the other day. Enjoy.

The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.


Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle
wreck and his *kitten* was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."

You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagine the pain that poor Tom must have experienced.

"Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain." We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece
together the crushed remnants of Tom ' s *kitten*, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."

Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably
as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.

"Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his *kitten*
should recover completely." All the men sighed with unified relief.


The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.

A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Tom Smith." The entire congregation held its breath. "I just want to tell my wife the word is sternum."

KPstartingover

OK, so in keeping with the theme of this web site, here goes...


A man and his wife were working in their garden one day and the man looks over at his wife and says: "Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big. I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue."
With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom.
"Yes, I was right; your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue!!!"
The woman chose to ignore her husband.
Later that night in bed, the husband is feeling a little frisky.
He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off. "What's wrong?" he asks. ..............
She answers: "Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-*kitten* grill for one little weenie?

Way to go, Diamonds in the Rough! We had a great week of weight loss! Hopefully next week we will beat the Diamond Dolls.

I would like to welcome my new partner, Trina, to DITR.

Have a great day! Eat well and exercise.

pverbarg

great first week's weigh in ladies!

Question of the Day: What is the funniest joke you know?

here's one that made me chuckle this morning!

Will's therapist told him that the way to achieve true inner peace was to remember to always finish what he started. So today, Will has finished 2 bags of potato crisps, a gallon of ice-cream, two buckets of chicken, and a chocolate cake. He feels much better already.

peanut613

Great job to everyone this week! Let's kick some serious booty and win this next weigh in!

Question of the Day: What is the funniest joke you know?
My sense of humor is more situational comedy and pretty inappropriate...haha. So instead of offending anyone, I'm just going to share a good weight loss joke.

Having lost weight over the past few years, a lady was discarding things from her wardrobe that no longer fit. Her seven-year-old niece was watching as she held up a huge pair of slacks. "Wow," the lady said, "I must have worn these when I was 183."

Her niece looked puzzled, then asked, "How old are you now?"

nikkiws

Congratulations all you diamonds on your weight loss, am a little gutted we didn't win against those DDs but this week is another chance to kick their butts!!

Question of the Day: What is the funniest joke you know?


0 to 200 in 6 seconds
Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
really angry.

She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"

The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
the box back in the house.

She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Way to go everyone! Here's to another great week!

QOTD: FUNNY

My sisters and I have weight problems and are always sharing diet tips. One day my oldest sister was showing us a low-fat cookbook and pointed out a chicken dish she had tried the night before. Reading the ingredients, I commented, "It looks like it would taste really bland."

"It did," she replied, "until I added cheese and sour cream."

Good afternoon ladies and thanks for the warm welcomes I have received so far!!
Congrats on the weight loss, I hope to bring the same losses to the group, plus I want some of those diamonds in my signature!

I don't have any favorite or funniest jokes, but this one is funny

A newlywed couple moves into their new house.
One day the husband comes home from work and his wife says, "Honey, you know, in the upstairs bathroom one of the pipes is leaking, could you fix it?" The husband says, "What do I look like, Mr. Plumber?"
A few days go by, and he comes home from work and his wife says, "Honey, the car won't start. I think it needs a new battery. Could you change it for me?" He says: "What do I look like, Mr. Goodwrench?"
Another few days go by, and it's raining pretty hard. The wife finds a leak in the roof. She says, "Honey, there's a leak on the roof! Can you please fix it?" He says, "What do I look like, Bob Vila?"
The next day the husband comes home, and the roof is fixed. So is the plumbing. So is the car. He asks his wife what happened. "Oh, I had a handyman come in and fix them," she says. "Great! How much is that going to cost me?" he snarls.
Wife says: "Nothing. He said he'd do it for free if I either baked him a cake or slept with him." "Uh, well, what kind of cake did you make?" asks the husband. "What do I look like," she says, "Betty Crocker?"

Why did God create men? Because vibrators can't mow the lawn.
Madonna

All men are not homeless, but some men are home less than others.
Henry Youngman

To attract men, I wear a perfume called 'New Car Interior'.
Rita Rudner

This guy says, 'I'm perfect for you, because I'm a cross between a macho and a sensitive man.'
I said, 'Oh, a gay trucker?'
Judy Tenuta

Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speech by something outside himself -- like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks.
Jean Kerr

Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work or prison.

I love men, even though they're lying, cheating scumbags.

Here are a few funny jokes I found.

Monday's Joke:

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said,"I would like to buy some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked,"Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."

The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband.

That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail!

All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, that's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

TwinMom12409

Hi ladies!! I am so excited to get to be in this group! I am really looking forward to winning some weigh ins! Just a quick about me for all of you. I am a very happily married 31 year old SAHM to 18 month old identical twin boys- Casey and Connor. Both of my sons have Down syndrome and I have learned a lot about patience and perseverance from them. It takes them forever to learn something new but when they do the huge feeling of accomplishment we all feel is indescribable. They inspire me everyday to work my hardest and do my best. They are also the reason I want to get a handle on my weight because they are BUSY and it is difficult to keep up with them sometimes!

My favorite joke is this:

What's red and smells like blue paint????\

Wait for it...............



RED PAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol!

Have a wonderful day!

TwinMom12409

p.s. On the chart thing it said I am supposed to ask a question of the day. Not sure if this is right but just in case (don't want to break rules on my first day) my question is: If you could walk into ANY store and WEAR anything and money was not an object WHERE would you shop and WHAT would you buy??

I would shop at Victoria's Secret and I would own every bra that they make and I would seriously consider some of those other lacy under things.

nikkiws

Tuesday's Question of the day: What is your top 5 songs on your excercise playlist

5: Cypress Hill: Jump around

nikkiws

Welcome TwinMom to the Diamonds challenge. To answer your question...
If you could walk into ANY store and WEAR anything and money was not an object WHERE would you shop and WHAT would you buy??
It would have to be a shop called 'Coast' not sure if they are in the US, but they have the most beautiful dresses, I would like one of each please!
