Right there with you...eating a Peppermint Patty as I read this :hunf:

Count me in too. I know I didn't win for September, so I'm back for another go at it.

This helps me stay motivated, so count me in also.

I'm not saying this has happened but human nature being what it is, it's a possibility that a future winner might take advantage. Can we have another requirement as well, like checking in on the thread twice a week or something like that? I'm not expecting to win anytime soon so I have no problem sending a FQ to whoever does win but I would hate to find out later down the line that someone mislead the group.

Just my thoughts...

There are always going to be people who don't play fair. There have been swaps. Secret Santa and Secret Quilt Angel that people have not forfilled their duty. They receive pressies but don't send to the person they are suppose to. No one but me knows the weight loss of anyone so they couldn't really cheat. 1 month a winner might have lost 9 lbs and the next month I have several people losing 9,12 or 15 lbs. If someone is that DESPERATE to cheat and mislead everyone then they must need the FQ more then anyone else. My feeling is they need more help then just weight loss and FQ's. Let them have the FQ's they have to live with themself for cheating. There are many of us who have been doing this for several months we KNOW we will never win and it isn't really the winning it is the love an support we get from each other.

I'm in all the way!!

Thank you trupeach. I appreciate you answering my concern. I'm sure other people have the same concern but just never brought it up. I had a great time on last month's thread and I'm looking forward to this month's thread. :)

Okay, okay!! I'm getting off my fat behind and joining the group! Better get my walking shoes out and dust them off!! I hear the trail in my park calling my name!! :lol:

I am IN !!! Right after my physical in late July I went home to see my Mom and have been eating non-stop ever since!! My husband just made caramel popcorn balls and I keep having to wash my hands so I can type!!
I'm literally bursting out of my jeans :(
