Week 4 Standings:

49 Ken's Weight and See - Bryan, Phil, Lezlye
41 Pokey's Potbellies - Nicole, David, Amy

Bob's Waddler's moved from 4th to first with a strong 22 pounds lost this week. Dan fell to fifth when his team only gave him 12 pounds. This is the week we can add another teammate. You must add the player before the next show. Pick wisely.

Week 3 Standings:
60 Dan's Eliminating the Excess - Phil, Amy, Ryan
56 Chubikins (Runnergirl) - James,Ryan,Amy
56 Jeff's Former Fatties - Neil, Jez, Amy
55 Bob's Waddlers - Kae, Phil, Neil
53 Marcy's Meatrolls - Kae, Jerry, Neil
53 Tiggers Hate Honey - David, Jez, Isabeau
51 Katie's FIRMin8ors - Ryan, Phil, Patty
47 Pat's Pounders - Amy, Phil, Bill
45 Hunter's Hopeful's (Margie) - Bryan, Ryan, Amy
42 Ken's Weight and See - Bryan, Phil, Lezlye
36 Wim-sical - Isabeau, Bill, Leylye
35 Pokey's Potbellies - Nicole, David, Amy

Dan's team took over the lead again. Katie's team with 19 was the biggest losers for the week and they moved up one place. Marcy and Wim-sical only got an 8 lbs week. Marcy fell from first to fifth and lost Jerry too.

Did anyone else have a problem with the show having an eating contest? I understand tempting them with delicious food (it happens in the real world), but why reward them with extra pounds credited? I didn't like it. Did Patti lose really think that Neil didn't do his job? Did she lose her slef control or did she really want the bonus weight?

Are there alliances formed on the blue team? Are the women together and did Kae jump ship?
Finally, what's up with Jez's scarf around the neck?

Favorite Quote: From Bill, who credited his brother Jim with saying, "The next pound is the most important one."

Week 2 Standings:
45 Marcy's Meatrolls - Kae, Jerry, Neil
43 Dan's Eliminating the Excess - Phil, Amy, Ryan
43 Jeff's Former Fatties - Neil, Jez, Amy
40 Bob's Waddlers - Kae, Phil, Neil
39 Chubikins (Runnergirl) - James,Ryan,Amy
38 Tiggers Hate Honey - David, Jez, Isabeau
33 Hunter's Hopeful's (Margie) - Bryan, Ryan, Amy
32 Katie's FIRMin8ors - Ryan, Phil, Patty
29 Ken's Weight and See - Bryan, Phil, Lezlye
29 Pat's Pounders - Amy, Phil, Bill
28 Wim-sical - Isabeau, Bill
20 Pokey's Potbellies - Nicole, David, Amy

Marcy moved from 4th to 1st. Runnergirl (Jen) moved from last to 5th. Everyone kept all their players, except 'Wim-sical who lost Lezlye. Alot of us thought we were going to lose Amy and then Phil. Dan and Jeff stuck together running the Philadelphia Distance Classic and point wise at 43. Matter of fact, Dan, Jeff, J-Wim and Katie all have run half marathons recently. The Big Losers this week - the twins Jim and Bill.

Jeff mentioned that we should all give the winner of this league a gift at the end. I hope all are fine with this ideal. Because I sure do like presents. LOL.

No additional players this week. Not even for J-wim (sorry). But, we do have a bonus game. You get 5 extra pounds lost if you can pick who gets eliminated in week 3. You must pick the player by Monday. My pick to be eliminated in week 3 is Ryan.

Rosters for week 2:

26 Dan's Eliminating the Excess - Phil (403), Amy, Ryan
22 Jeff's Former Fatties - Neil (421), Jez, Amy

Week 1: The Black Team's weight was revealed on The Biggest Loser Website video. But, they didn't reveal how much they lost. There are three teams; blue, red and black. The first two teams don't know about the Black team. They will next week. Any weight lost by a black team member will count when it is revealed. No one has lost a player yet. Amber was not picked by any of us.

The heaviest male is Neil (Jeff's Former Fatties) at 421. The largest female is Isabeau (Wim-iscal) at 298. The Biggest Loser for week 1 was Jerry (free agent) at 31 pounds. The women were lead by Kae ( Bob's Waddlers and Marcy's Meatballs ) who lost 20 pounds.

9/11 Photo Tribute

2007-09-11T15:14:00.000-07:00

The Healing Fields is a tribute to those that died 6 years ago in the attack on America. They placed a flag for each person that died on that day in Tempe Beach Park

On each flag was a yellow ribbon with the name of a lost soul.

Also, on display was a flag made of 50 US State Flags and 6 US territory Flags. In the middle was the name of each victim and it was signed by all the members of the US Senate.

For those of you that are into endurance sports. This is Tempe Beach Park, the transition site for the SOMA Triathlon and the Ironman Arizona Triathlon.

I visited during the heat of the day and there were still lots of people paying tribute. One lady was nice enough to snap this photo for me.

Six years ago, I didn't know what to do. I put my name on the waiting list to give blood. I supported our government however I could, I gave money. I, also, went out into our front yard and started to build this planter to hold our flag. I'm not the most handy around the home, but it's still standing and holds our flag each holiday and on September 11th of each year.

I hope you got a chance to spend a little quite time today remembering those that lost their lives six years ago and remembering those that may have given their lives for freedom since then.
