Noel! I hope you do win the powerball - you deserve it! Don't forget us regular folks though.

I was surprised they voted off Jen too, thought it would be Andrea. I guess we'll see if their strategy works. They sure did deserve to win this week - finally all working together. I hated it for them.

Angie, how about I make a "low carb fit camp" All are welcome! Bob is doing a south beach type program I'm sure he'd be in. Of course I would have to fund this site for all eternity for helping me stay the course and I would tour the world promoting the low carb lifestyle.

It's fun to dream.

Don't forget that tonight is the biggest loser and Earl! I sure hope that the girls finally win one! They are working so hard and deserve it. Earl is a repeat tonight but it is the only one that I haven't seen. Program guide said that it was about a teacher that he used to give a hard time in school.

I was so mad last night because I missed BL and Earl because I cleaned for almost three hours at the condo. It wasn't until I got home and turned on the TV that I realized it was Monday.

Interesting fact...from TV Guide...Ethan Suplee from Earl has lost 250 pounds by cutting out the carbs and exercising! He said he never wanted to be the fat guy in Hollywood.

I looked up Ethan Suplee and he was a big boy in the Butterfly affect!

He really is doing great and I hope that he keeps it up!

OK So tonight I was able to watch the whole 90 minutes. Boy was I glad I did.

I thought there was going to be a mutiny. But I really think Pete did a good job in picking the teams adn not letting everyone take the easy way out. I wish they had listened and knocked out Seth and Suzy in the challenge because I really hated to see Pete go.

But didn't Pete look amazing! At 6'5" he could obviously hold more weight than some of the rest so he was looking good at a higher end weight. I can't remember how much he ended up at but if he lost 137 and he started at 401 then...264 (yes I used a calculator don't want to think). He was moving so well on the basketboall court. It's wonderful that he got his wife into the healthy lifestyle and now they are ready to start their family. I'm hoping that by the reunion show she is pregnant. Wouldn't that be neat.

You know I can't remember who it was...help me out here if you do...but one of the guys had said he didn't know how many calories crying burned but...talking smack about the women and this week the men were the criers. There's nothing wrong with that but they should have never been so hard on the girls for that. For being a bad team OK but not the emotions.

Speaking on teams when Shannon said to respect us as a team the first thing that popped into my head was "what team?" But now that is all behind them.

I watched BL but skipped the re-run of the Earl pilot. I enjoyed the show, but was disappointed that the guys sent Pete home instead of Doc, like he wanted them to. But, Pete landed on his feet and has done amazingly well. I was snivelling by the time the show was over. He is such a MAN and a GENTLEMAN and a good CHRISTIAN and a good SPORT. What an amazing individual.

I STILL do not like the cop guy. He's an a$$ and I don't care how nice he is to his partner.

Wow! Seeing them as they looked when they first arrived next to how they looked tonight is amazing! I am always so inspired by this show.

Maybe Pete will still win by being the Biggest Loser all around when the finale airs in November. He looks great.

He just might be, he's already lost about 35% of his body weight and I bet he loses more by that time. I hope so. He was the only person that hugged EVERYONE when he left an dwas sincere about it.

He is a good man.

I sobbed and sobbed at the end of the show. I really didn't want Pete to go especially since the Doc WANTED to go! Then watching how Pete is doing now I thought that it worked out. His wife has lost 50 pounds in the time that he has been home and looks amazing herself. Isn't Docs wife kinda thin along with his kids? Pete was better going home.

When Matt's Uncle died it was so sad. I like what he said after his weigh in. "We do need to be selfish of how we take care of ourselves" because it is more selfish not to. Our kids, spouses, family and friends that love and need us would be devistated. If I get off this diet, and start back on the path I was on I could die from a heart attack or complications from diabetes. Then my kids would remember the mom that died because she couldn't control her weight. How sad. My job as mom and wife is to show them how to take care of themselves. Then when the kids leave the home they can do it on their own. Its the same with cleaning, cooking, getting along with others...why shouldn't it be the same with health. This is something so important to pass on and I plan on being a better teacher from now on.

I feel the same way. I really had the feeling of it's my body and I will do as I please and enjoy all the junk because I want to. A lot of I's in there. When I had Xander it went from I to we and I knew I had to do things for him before thinking of myself. I know you should lose for yourself but he was my main motivation, to be there for him when he grows up.

Cushie, have you weighed yourself yet? I'm really looking forward to hearing if your at your 100 pound goal. When you said that you are doing this for your son you weren't kidding! When you weigh your goal weight, and your son thinks you were joking that you were ever overweight you can bring out the pictures. You can let him know that you did this for him. *tear* How proud he will be of his mommy!

I am going to weigh tomorrow morning as I feel with my exercise I will have reached the 100 lost tomorrow.

I have three photos of us together taken formally from different events where they did them for free. One will never see the light of day (I'm smaller than the first two but I just don't like it) but the other two aren't so bad but I will be very happy when we can take photos with me being in the 100's.

Just a bump up to remind everyone that our show is Tuesday night and "Earl" will be a new episode, too.
