    i cant tell if its worse that I know what it is. Its another new camera for me. Canon Eos M. A supplement to my several SLR cams and point and shoots. A middle of the road camera you could say.

    But she did say that my 300lb box will have secret contents.

    I hit 374 this morning which was great because I could shave.

    This is an AWESOME idea, I may have to try this with my husband. He is all GO FOR IT for a few week then loses interest. I try and motivate him but it never sticks much. Maybe if he saw a box siting there and taunting him he would keep motivated. :smile:

    This really is a great idea. Of course I'll have to buy something for myself and then put it up until I reach a predetermined goal. I buy new clothes st every ten pounds I lose but those are a need and I want a want. Maybe a ninja blender. Thanks for the great motivational tip and tell you wife you are lucky to have her. :-D
