Tip of the Week: Drink your body weight number in ounces everyday (200 lb = 200 ounces). Sometimes when you think you are hungry your body is actually only craving water.

Track the progress as we go: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pHello there friends and family,
I have decided to put together a little friendly weight loss competition. The winner will get a gift certificate to a spa to do whatever you want, and a free head message, shampoo-blow dry from me…(if I don’t win of course). You’ll also get to sit in our new state of the art message chair. Sound good??? Here’s the details.
Everyone puts in $20.00, and that goes to the gift certificate. You will have three months starting April 1st to lose as much weight as you can, ANY way you want. You will then send me your first weeks body weight percentage loss. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TELL ME YOUR WEIGHT. Every week I will send out an email telling you the percentage of all the other people. So that way you will know who is ahead of you. This makes it fair for every one!! There is only one rule. You have to use the same scale start to finish, you have to weigh yourself at the same time of day and you have to wear the same thing every time. sound good??? Okay then, I know I'm not the only one who want to loss weight….so lets do this together!!!
Rece2 A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son, and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.
3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.
4 A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar pays attention to a malicious tongue. Watch who you are listening to
5 He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.
6 Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
7 Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
8 A bribe (gift) is a charm to the one who gives it; wherever he turns, he succeeds.
9 He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
10 A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool. Don’t’ fight it and get defensive (or worse – attack)
11 An evil man is bent only on rebellion; a merciless official will be sent against him.
12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.
13 If a man pays back evil for good,
evil will never leave his house.
14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.
15 Acquitting the guilty & condemning the innocent- the LORD detests them both.
16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom? Use wealth to gain wisdom
17 A (true) friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 A man lacking in judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.
19 He who loves a quarrel loves sin; he who builds a high gate invites destruction.
20 A man of perverse heart does not prosper; he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.
21 To have a fool for a son brings grief;
there is no joy for the father of a fool.
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
23 A wicked man accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the course of justice.
24 A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father & bitterness to the one who bore him.
26 It is not good to punish an innocent man, or to flog officials for their integrity.
27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. The y had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.'
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.
Jesus just sighed.
Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power went out!'
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate.
'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?'
God just shrugged and said,
JESUS SAVES
