STANDINGS
Well done everyone! 5 weeks down and only 1 to go. Finish Strong : )
With one week left here's where we stand:
"My team won! We beat six other teams in an all-out brawl. I didn't really know these women when I started - one was the niece of my best friend, one was a casual acquaintance- but by the end, they felt like sisters. Every time we talked I was amazed by how much we had in common despite a twenty-year age spread between us. We shared recipes, we shared frustrations, and occasionally we shared a meal off. We supported each other and as a result, we not only won the game, but for the first time in all of our lives, we felt like we were in charge of our diets, and our bodies and our health. And beating all those guys was AWESOME."

"My first point-loss was on day one of my first game. I absently pulled a half-piece of carrot from my bag and ate it as I walked to the car without even noticing until I swallowed it. Now, this was before the 100-calorie rule. A half of a piece of carrot. This was going to cost me my first point in this game? And, right off the bat, I decided no to say anything, to let it slide: That didn't count. It was absent-mindedness. It's no like it was a Snickers! It was a carrot! less than a carrot! The game is not anti-carrot! Do-over! And then I realized if I was going to play, then it did count- it had to count- because it's not the eating of carrots that I'm trying to fight, it's the absent-mindedness. It's the habit of noticing when I'm putting food in my mouth that I needed to develop. So I told someone about it right away, to shut up the devil on my shoulder. And, it turns out it was the last time I ever lost points for absent-minded eating.

"The Game On Diet"
"Nobody hated exercise more than I did, and when I read that I had to exercise for 20 minutes a day to win, I thought I'd just read that O.J. was coming over. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, so I strapped on the running shoes and went, and it changed my life immensely! I didn't feel like I needed to sleep more when I woke up in the morning. I had incredible energy throughout the day. My once squishy tummy became more toned and the euphoric feeling I got after only 20 minutes of moving my body was enough to keep me exercising daily, even after the game ended!
