Dammit this blog is turning into a mini-diary. I decided to join a bunch of us fatasses at work in a friendly competition of losing weight, dubbed The Biggest Loser. We've been melting away since Jan 5. The competition ends at the end of March. So far I've lost 11 pounds. Not bad for someone that's not really dieting or counting calories. I'm mostly just watching what I'm eating, not drinking soda or using artificial sweeteners (ok recently I had some iced tea with splenda). After a failed attempt at doing the South Beach Diet I'm back to doing what works best for me, Weight Watchers. Between the 7 or so of us, we've lost between 10-22 pounds!! Not bad! The winner gets the pot 'o money (about $200), a massage courtesy of our beloved anesthesiologist and some other goodies donated by some of our other OBs. At this point, I doubt I'm going to win but trying to lose weight with the other girls has definitely kept me motivated and has prevented me from stuffing my fat face all night at work.
Another thing to report-Operation Save all Receipts and Make Timely Returs remains in full effect!!! My receipt file is bursting with glorious receipts and all my store returns were made on time! I know the hubs is rolling his eyes at me at this point but I don't care. One day that receipt from Starbucks will come in handy!! ;)

What's wrong with artificial sweeteners?
"they say" diet sodas and artificial sweeteners make you gain weight because you end up eating more calories then if you just ate foods sweetened with sugar. dunno bout all that but it's working for me.
The gestational diabetes diet has worked for me. Ha! According to my scale at home, which David says is a piece of ... junk... I'm about back down to what I weighed when I started this pregnancy and I'm eating six times a day!!!
BTW: good for you! 11 pounds is great.
