I would like to know what everyone thinks will happen this Sunday. Not what you hope will happen, but rather what you actually think will happen.
My Prediction:
Pats 34
Giants 24

Doin it for ME
I decided I need to make myself accountable for my actions and for getting myself back into some kind of healthy shape. My best friend turned me on to this site and I'm really going to get on top of getting back in shape.

I think it is funny how everyone in the country except for New England absolutely hates the Pats. Just a few short years ago everyone was jumping on the bandwagon. I guess everyone hates a winner and loves the underdog.

Funny, I'm from New England and I hate the Pats too!
J/K - I'm not a big enough follower of the sport to like or hate any team really
What I hate is how everyone in New England goes mental when the Pats or the Sox are doing well.
These are the same people that didn't have time for them when they were doing bad.
You're absolutely right, Rob - and it's even worse when the underdog starts winning everything all the time. It sort of loses it's impact.
Kind of like Jeff Gordon [someone so famous, even non-fans know who he is]

One Year 19 Lbs lost.
For December 07 to December 08 the job is to lose another 17 lbs.
--
Coming up for nearly a year of Traineo. 22 lbs lost, 13 to go!
What a year! I want to thank Traineo and it's members, and my doctors and friends, and gym, and my walking and running training partner -- my dog -- who all have have been a big part of my recovery from a bad case of pneumonia last August, from high blood pressure in May and June, and support through herniated cervical discs in July August and the present.
Somehow, its been possible to keep the faith and keep going through the neck and arm pain, but even on some of those bad pain days, getting the exercise at the gym, on a C25K run, on a bike ride, or in the surf helps make it bearable.
A year ago -- at least sports-wise, for life is altogether another thing -- I was losing my sense of identity as a surfer and windsurfer, gaining a sense of identity as a cyclist, a runner, 9 months later reentering the surf, losing my ability to ride ... things came and went between hospital visits.
At times, all those things were stripped away -- and just to be able to walk down the block was an accomplishment. There were recoveries and sometimes just advil and bullish efforts.
It's good to be back in the surf and on the bike sometimes, neck/shoulder/arm pain notwithstanding.
My thoughts go out to all those Traineo members out there fighting their own health and spiritual battles...you know we are here in this small way.

If you say it's funny, we'll take it.
Go Jints.
No predictions for final score, but I think it could be as tight as a single point.

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

Not a big fan of sports, but I'm expecting the Pats to win but not cover the spread.

(and now its finally paying off!) haha I am talking about all the people around the country that loved how the Patriots were the underdogs in 2001-2002 and came out and knocked off the mighty Rams. But now they keep on winning and winning and people are starting to hate them. I'm not talking about us New Englanders.

Let's be honest here. The Giants have Eli Manning as their QB. He has been a solid performer for about 4 games in a row. Other than that his career has been marked by mental errors, folding under the pressure, and random really really bad games. If you think a professional organization with experience at the big game is going to lose to a team manned by Eli Manning, you're crazy.
Ok Ok any given Sunday, yes I know. Obviously, the Giants could pull it off. But there is no possibly way that they whoop them. They might beat the Pats but the Pats will go down fighting if they do.

I'm with Richard. I like the Super Bowl because of the commercials and the hangin out. Unless the Titans or the the Bengals ever make it to the Super Bowl then I will randomly pick a team and cheer just to make the game more interesting. On the other hand, it would be kinda cool to see the Patriots make history.

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.
