We went to the Beacon Drive In in Spartanburg SC yesterday ... It was featured on the food channel's, Diners, Dive-ins and Dives ... lets just say it will "change your oil" ... then we drove up scenic highway 11 to Cooley's Peach, Blackberry, Strawberry Farm ... of course we had to buy some bread and jams an jellies ... not to mention ho-made blackberry and peach ice cream:biggrin2::biggrin2:

A southern chimp really does know how to "dive-in" to food. hehe.

That count's geckley better than your mates! Bad news for us girls though. I went to a pool party today, only small damage done I think. Ready to get back with it tomorrow. My healthy meals are all ready to take to work. Keep up the good work girls (OK everybody...) Be strong! We ain't scared of no guys by the way!
 
Great job!! You can not deny yourself of all treats, you will go ape if you do:biggrin2:

Well, I'm sure not gonna turn into an ape-ette after this weekend..:redface2:

Pork ribs (fallin' off the rib) off the grill, new potatoes smothered in butter, okra (homegrown) gumbo, caesar salad with homegrown tomatoes....and then yesterday pork tenderloin stuffed with boudain..:thumbup: and a few Bud light limes..:angel:

However; the week has just begun...and I will be good..:angel:...and I will follow Rhena's lead..!!
 
First week's totals

First week's totals

Okay, the question is, do the gals trust Superbob's arithmetic? We'll see. :D Anyway, here is how SB reads the first week's results in The Great Pumpkin Race:

Gals:

Losses:

Rhena: 5.8
Janie: 3
Laurie: 5
Duffey: 1
Cindy: .4
(Jan: plus-1)

Net loss for week: 14.2

Guys:

Losses:

Geckley: 2
Cooker: 1.5
Superbob: 1.4
Wise: .1
Nngbwh (just establishing his baseline)

Net loss for the week: 5

Any corrections? Additions? Subtractions? Demands for a recount? :D

Okay, I think the gals deserve a round of applause for their first week's efforts. They obviously are determined to kick male butt. Guys, perilous times are ahead -- college football season begins Thursday with Southern Miss playing the Gamecocks. That means beer and chips, chips and beer. :eek: We must be strong. How about pedaling an exercise bike for at least a quarter? Or doing situps between plays? Drastic action is required.

Do not be discouraged by the first week's results, guys. We are in this for the long haul.

Okay, SB cannot be totally objective. One of the gals will have to deliver the pep talk for the "sugar and spice" side. ;)

Well, SB sees one possible addition: Scott, making great progress, weighed in last week, but hasn't done so yet this week. That would make it six guys (not to be confused with Five Guys burgers) versus six gals. So Scott, if you have a report, we will add it to this week's totals. :D
 
Superbob, your calculations are praise worthy-- particularly since they showcase the Gals' lead.:biggrin2::biggrin2:

I'm having a pretty good start to the week. :thumbup:

I hope it continues!:wink2:
 
I am going to shovel this thing down my throat really quick and start the week off.:biggrin2:

The Long awaited officieal Great Pumpin Race Spreasheet has Arrived

The Long awaited officieal Great Pumpin Race Spreasheet has Arrived

Read it and Weep Guys! :eek2: Ok - you've already been harrassed - but I had to take m y shot too. Never underestimate the power of a determined woman and we are nothing if we aren't determined! Right Girls!! :thumbup::angel:

So in reality , when I checked Lauri'es beginning weight and this week, she actually lost 4.8. (Wanted to give you that extra .2 'cause you deserve special attention, but had to keep it honest.) So that makes it 14 pounds lost for the girls to a measly 5 lbs lost for the guys!

Still didn't see a post from Scottnz - he had mentioned he would weigh Monday so maybe it is still coming. If he posts wtihin the next 24 hrs - we'll take it. Otherwise he is a no show this week. I think we need to set some new rules - if someone doesn't post for say 3 weeks - they are off the team. Is that fair? Should it be 2? We really need to try and keep it weekly and preferably each person picks their weigh in day from Thurs. thru Mon. and sticks to it.

I tried pasting the spreadsheet in here, but it just lost all it's formatting and looked ugly, so I am attaching it instead. For some reason attachments seem to only include jpegs or pdf's so I've ssaved as a PDF. Wonder why that is? The column with starting weight is in here in case we need to refer to it later, but I hid it. I'm just going to report losses and gains. :thumbd:

Here's to kicking more guy butt this week girls! :D to quote Shania Twaini ' Man - I feel like a Woman!':biggrin2:

Shania Twain -- she is totally hot! Superbob will take all the razzing you want to dish out that involves Shania!

In fact, here is a little return message to you girls from a Shania song --- "That don't impress me much".... one week of losses in a 10 week competition? You ladies are setting yourselves up for a big disappointment when the guys come roaring back. :tongue2:

So here from Shania and Superbob (what a pair -- ummmm!) is my "don't impress me much" retort to you girlies:

SuperBob & Wise, hope you are right ... my scales seem to be malfunctioning:eek2::redface2:

More bananas and less pudding for you. More ice and less cream for me. Superbob is a lean mean fighting machine already. We can do it. United we stand!
