It's A Giveaway!!!

Note: This post is set to stay at the top until Friday, July 27th.

Please see below for more current posts.

It's HERE!!! The Great Bloggy Giveaway is HERE!!!

I'm so excited I've already had to go to the bathroom 3 times since I started this post, and that's a record - even for me.

And so, without further ado, let me state the obvious:

I am fat. There's no denying it.

Though I try to hide it by only showing my face in the photo, you can get a better picture of what I really look like by checking out the avatar on the sidebar. In my lifetime I have spent $923,249,573,294.43 (more or less) on diet books, programs, exercise equipment, memberships, etc.

And still I remain the way I am.

So, in hopes that you will do ever so much better than I did at this, I am offering the following up for grabs:




Yes, it's the ever-popular South Beach Diet Guide and Cookbook! Two for the low, low, price of ...well...NOTHING!!! Just take 'em off my hands. Leave a comment below and get started on your very own weight loss journey.

Books are guaranteed to work. They open AND close, and the pages turn beautifully. They've hardly been used, so it will be almost like getting practically new books for absolutely nothing.

On second thought, it will be JUST like getting practically new books for absolutely nothing.

If your heart desires what I have to offer, please leave a comment. I'll use a very sophisticated Random Number Chooser to pick the winner on Friday night at midnight, and I'll announce it Saturday morning. When I get up, that is.

Postage and handling is paid by me.

You do not have to be a blogger to win! Just check back here to see if you won on Saturday.

Bribes are accepted in the form of chocolate, coffee, dark chocolate, mild coffee, milk chocolate, espresso, mocha, cappucino, and any or all of the above. However, they won't influence the Random Number Chooser. But feel free to try...really.

This wunnerful idea was thunk up by Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer, and you can reach a veritable plethora of other giveaway items by visiting her blog this week. Just click on the button above and it will take you right there.

I would love to have my own copy of these. My sisters have recently lost a fair amount of weight doing this together. I'll be able to start after the baby comes in four weeks.

I don't like fad diets, but South Beach has always seemed sound to me, and I do try to eat in a similar way, so I would love these books!

Hahahahahahaha. Ok, I confess. Mostly I've been just racing through the Mr. Stinky - um, I mean Mr. LINKY list and using my super powers to scan the text on each site to locate the freebie and then make the stunningly fast decision as to "Yes, I want that" Or "Nah..." and then I cross that number off my very organized list so I don't forget where I've already been and then I'm on to the next time, BUT (as my fingers gasp for air or for blood or for whatever tired fingers gasp for...Where was I? Oh yes...)BUT I actually READ your post and I laughed myself silly because you are seriously hilarious (Wait. Was/is that anoxymoron?) AND because I have been trying to lose the last 15 pounds for the past 15 years and I haven't tried the South Beach Diet yet and so I'm signing up here. (fingers collapse)

I would love to give this diet a try. Or, at least read about it and say, "That sounds great," while I pop some more cherry cordial hershey's kisses in my mouth. ;)

Class7A said...

I know exactly what you mean about weight. I have made some adjustments in my diet, but I really don't know how to eat. So I would love to try the South Beach Diet so I don't have to keep drinking apple cider vinegar in an attempt to lose weight. LOL.
