Bravo, Dave! I totally agree with you. That's why I went with the sports bra. If the people on the show can show it to the world, so can I. And if/when I get the weight off, I want to show that off, too!

Just drank my protein, getting ready to work out. SO pumped for the show tonight!

It's not bad to look at from way up high, but not so fun to walk in - messy and wet!! I can't complain too much though... every once in a while the clouds will lift and I see a bit of that beautiful view I can't get enough of it!

I haven't started much of an exercise routine yet. I do a fair amount of walking since I use transit to get to and from work. My biggest walk occurs at the end of the day - the commuter train drops me at the bottom of this crazy hill that I have to walk up to get home. Getting down the hill - 10-13 minutes... getting up the hill - 25-30 minutes!

So... my primary fitness goal for this challenge will be to decrease my up-hill walk time to 17-18 minutes!! I know it doesn't sound like much, but I feel it'll be a vast improvement! To help me achieve that goal I will be taking out and dusting off my Slim-in-6 videos this weekend and setting up my spare basement room into a workout zone. I may even get on that crazy Gazelle of mine!

Before I forget, Iyshiaf... do you take all of our goals, stats and pics and put them some kind of table to keep track of?

You'll cut that time down in no time-- you'll see!

I was very happy to see some huge losses this week. The diabetic guy that's on there with kids I can really relate to because I'm in the same boat. As far as the season premier goes though I have to say I was a little disappointed. I don't really know why though. I still don't know how I feel about them sending nine people home on the first night. What did the rest of you think about that?

I know what I think. It sucked! Good God, the people couldn't even enjoy their amazing weight losses. 30 pounds lost and "it wasn't enough"? Give me a friggin' break!

The first half was so great; the second half - I had all I could do not to shut off the tv. Couldn't even have one full episode before getting a bitter taste in my mouth.

NBC and the producers of the show are complete idiots.
