Squirrels! I'm officially putting them on a diet

A couple of weeks ago, I filled up two birdfeeders with seed to hopefully attract some pretty birds. Shortly after, I started noticing that the seed was going down so I thought that I had birds. Well I was wrong! I have squirrels, lots of fat squirrels eating all of the birdseed right out of the feeders. Well, I googled a way to get rid of them and one of the things that came up was to put vaseline on the shepherds hook. I've decided to give that a try, and when I get home I'm officially putting the squirrels on a diet!!

First Weigh In On This Site

The first weigh in on this site will be Wednesday morning. I will put a Mr. Linky on here so everyone can join in. If you want to participate, invite your friends and family so we can help each other out. The more the merrier! Remember, all participants will get a Free Link on this blog so it can help to promote your blog as well. This site currently has a PR2, but I am hoping to get it to a PR3 within the next 6 months.

Biggest Loser Photos to come

The Biggest Loser ceremony was really nice. The guy who won lost 50lbs, the 2nd place person lost 25 pounds and the third place person lost 30 pounds. I missed 3rd place by 1 pound, so as they say on the show 1 pound can really make a difference. Boy was I bummed when I found that out. Anyway, they took really nice photos so as soon I get them I will post my before and after. The difference is really quite dramatic even though it is only 25 pounds.

Pound for Pound Challenge

If you haven't already joined the Pound For Pound Challenge, please do so. For every pound you lose, Pound For Pound will donate 10¢ to Feeding America™ - enough to provide one pound of groceries to a local food bank. Report your final results between 4/1/09 and 5/5/09. I joined when the program first came out, so my weight loss will not only benefit me but it will also benefit hungry Americans.

Biggest Loser Car Challenge

Did you see this weeks episode of Biggest Loser? If not, then you don't know what you missed. Tara Costa is a freaking machine!! All of the contestants were competing for immunity by pulling a car that weighed over a ton for a distance of a half mile. The challenge started out with Sione and Mike in the lead and Tara in 3rd. Even with an extra 257 pounds in her car, she pushed on to pass both Sione and Mike to win the challenge and win immunity. She is amazing and it's hard not to like her even though she does seem to win all of the challenges.

These are the huge cars that they had to pull.

Check out her pictures from her myspace page.

What diet plan are you using?

Are you using an Ultra Low Carb plan like Atkins or the Zone Diet, or something a little less strict like South Beach. What about the Biggest Loser Diet plan? I have been using the South Beach plan for awhile along with some elements of Biggest Loser. A few variations that I am doing: I love milk so I do allow myself to have skim milk on occasion. I also eat an apple and cheese stick quite frequently as a snack. If I feel like I am going into a stall, I will also cut back to around 30-35 carbs/day for a few days and that usually breaks my stall. Anyone else using a similar plan?
