After following @BethFishReads's, @toofondofbooks's, @myfriendamy's, and @fizzythoughts's progress in The Game On! diet, I decided to take the plunge and start a competition of my own. I bought a copy of the book yesterday and talked my friend/co-worker, Brandi, into doing a one-on-one game. We're going shopping for supplies today and then tomorrow, it's on!I also picked up a copy of My Weight Loss Coach for my Nintendo DS; between that and my WiiFit, I'll be gamer-girl geeking my way to the top of this competition. I'm not going to review The Game On! Diet book; both Beth F and Dawn (and Amy and softdrink) have done a great job of that already. You can check it out online here if you're interested.
Brandi and I have already decided that if this four weeks goes well, we'll try to recruit some more teachers once school starts back up and get a bigger competition going. Wish us luck!

Good luck! I"m playing the game right now (Dawn and Beth are my competitors lol!) and it's fun and frustrating. ;)
Enjoy!
Good luck and may it be a ton of fun! I think the idea is a great one.
Good luck!! I'm playing it now (Dawn and Beth are on my team). It's tough at first, but boy does it pay off!
Good luck! It can be a lot of fun, although a bit challenging with the food at times. Planning is very important!
I'll be looking for your updates - so glad that you're giving it a go!
The first few days are the toughest - getting used to drinking all that water and planning 5 smaller meals per day.
You and your co-worker will support each other even though you're competing :)
Good luck! Can't wait to see how you do. Stick with it, really does seem to work. I love the habit parts -- It's a great way to make some changes in your life.
Wow! Good Luck! I am glad you are taking it up!
Game on girl :)
Good luck! I hope you post about the DS game you bought. I have a DS, but never thought about getting a game to help with dieting.
I'm sort of old school -- I lost about 30 pounds over the last two years mostly by training myself to eat better. I switched up my diet gradually though, which is why it took such a long time to see results.
I think the Game On diet would be a good way to be motivated to start right away. I'm curious how the DS game would work :)
Welcome aboard and good luck! I'm between games right now, but I lost 10 lbs the first time around! We start up again this coming Monday at work with a whole lot more people playing. It really works and is fun. I'm a bit at a loss without it! Let me know if you want an "I'm Getting My Game On" button for your blog! Thanks for playing!
I've lost 9 lbs so far and gone down two sizes in clothes in just two weeks so I can tell ya that it really does work. Good luck to ya!
Thanks for all the support!
Amy and Jill - Good luck with the diet! I'll add your links, too.
Kim - I am LOVING the DS game right now! I'll post a review of it next week.
