I really enjoyed this thread - hilarious!!!

Wish I'd thought of just not saying anything to anyone about trying to lose weight....just let them all see me pigging out on steaks, mushrooms, blue cheese dressing...all the while, the weight's dropping off like a stone.

Throw up my hands, "Oh..I have no idea why it's happening..."

And I loved the idea of making sure people see you pouring heavy cream into your coffee.

Don't forget to let them see you slather butter onto something too. That stuff's apparently incredibly bad for you, and you'll likely get told to try some kinda diet margarine or something...

Can't wait to hear more stories.

I love your attitude. My DIL is now on WW and would love for me to convert. Personally, I need more structure than they offer. Not a big fan of theirs. Since their allowed to spend their points any way they want, I just hope they don't decide to give you payback with something you can't have. I think it's great that you have a way to challenge yourself. Them against us so to speak.

Haven't seen you on here before, but will subscribe to your thread just so I can read the updates on your WW friends. Can't wait till their jaws drop when they start to notice your weight loss


I know, if I ate a muffin and oatmeal I'd be in the porcelin palace tossing my cookies. My body doesn't digest that stuff. YUCK, but I'm fine when I eat this way..no cookie tossing.

Cool Yet Another day!! I am so lovin' be evil!!

Ok so I'm eating a chef salad for lunch and the same lady who "introduced" me to egg whites comes to my desk and says, "I see you are trying to eat a little healthier now huh? Are we rubbing off on ya?" So I say, "Yes you guys are really motivating me!"..........hah! (motivating me to keep doing what I'm doing) Then she says, "well you made a good choice.....but next time you should try Light Italian dressing instead of Ranch". Man I am lovin this !!!! she will be the first to motice my weight loss since it seems she pays so much attention to me. I heard her talking the other day to another buddy that she is not losing like she wants to and doesnt know what shes doing wrong becasue shes been at it for 3 months. I want to tell her so bad(but i'm not) "hey I've been doing Atkins for just about a week and a half and I'm already down 7lbs!!! *while handing her a chef salad with ranch dressing*....lol....

OMG could she be more sanctimonious?

Your reply was much better than my first thought - "Rub this!"

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait till they start noticing your weight loss. I'm only down 12 lbs. and people are already starting to notice. Every time we eat those disgusting eggs with all that fat (about a dozen a week for me), it signals our body to burn fat and we are literally melting before their very eyes - AWESOME. Let's hear it for eggs and Ranch dressing!!!

You make me think of that age-old question... "Do you use your powers for good or for awesome?"

I think we know what you use yours for.
