... With only 17 days to go???

I'll behave... I was down to 218.8 on my wife's scale this morning, don't want to screw up this weight loss thing for a little (a lot) of alcohol.

Congrats Rich!!

Edit: 222 on the postal scale here at work, woo who!

Now I know what I said, and a promise is a promise, but wouldn't you all rather have me keep my dignity???

NO, I would not..............

@JohnT as we always say: "Pictures or it didn't happen."

Hey Craig good health and keep going!!
Now if you want to keep that good health you might want to not say that bad phrase "Wife's scale" just in case she might read these post!!
And your office scale needs calibrated to match the Wife's scale cause hers is always correct!!

Heh heh heh...yea, made that mistake the other day. Jumped on her scale (in my bathrobe and moccasins) then on the postal scale and there was a 4 lb difference. Of course it was higher at work for the clothes I was wearing since they frown on me showing up to work in my bathrobe. I texted her the difference but left out that I had less clothing weight at home, oh boy, the phone exploded with a return text message quickly after I sent mine, never make that mistake again. She now knows that her scale is just fine, I just choose to disclose my clothed weight as if I disrobe most will go running the other direction.

She actually shared her weight with me today in a text, which I thought was not allowed by the Union of Married Women (UMWA). Deleted that one pretty quickly and pretended I never saw it. She's losing weight too, just not as fast as I am, since men seem to be able to shed pounds quicker, I think it's a metabolism thing.

Hey a big hearty thanks to everyone again. I didn't respond earlier in the day as I took my dear MIL to Lake Placid to see a specialist for her knees. Seems they have pretty good sports injury doctors and bone specialists right literally next to the Olympic Training Center. I wonder why? LOL She is doing fine and it will be a while before they feel a knee replacement is necessary.


And yes, I am sure you guys would rather see JohnT sporting a nice big Welch's shirt rather than seeing his dignity intact!

No one wants to see John's dignity in anything.

OK, but I will need a week. For some reason, I do not have that tee shirt on hand, but I do have it ordered.

Good. My friend, you were in danger of changing from being known as

"The man who hates Welches"

to simply

"The man who welches."

Wish I would have seen this post earlier than yesterday. I would have surely contributed to see John wearing a Welches T-Shirt. LOL, congratulations Rich.

So once the original requested amount is funded, the ability to contribute is disabled?

 

[grapeman]

Yes are no longer able to contribute to the loan once it is funded. Once it is paid back the borrower can apply for another loan and then you would be able to contribute to the loan.
