On a happier note today, I'm celebrating a 2 pound weight loss.
Our company is doing a Biggest Loser contest. We've done it before with individuals, but now we are teams and the prize kitty is $600.
My team includes Susan, JoAnne, and Annie, but we haven't found a name one week into the competition. We're editors who work with words, but I think the pressure to be creative has us brain locked.
So, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to name our team. Other team names are things like:
DTC - Dominating Touch Chicks
Junk in the Trunk
Butt Busters
PIT - Pounds in Transition (relates to the "pit" area where the group works)
Get 'er Done
We thought we should have a name that reflects a bit on our job as editors. So, do you have any ideas for us? If we use your idea, I'll let you choose a free book from any of our new releases.
Thanks.
UPDATE 4-29-08: Don't know why this had to be so hard. We ended up using Susan's "Loss for Words." But since Chris's EDIT - Editors Delete It Together and Vickie's REPS - Rejecting Excess Pounds were in out top 3 picks, we are giving them both a free book. Thanks for all the good suggestions.

How about Cutting it down to size? Or Cutting out the fat?
"Editing Ourselves"?
Or something like that?
I forgot to add congratulations on your two pound loss, Becky!
What about the EDIT team? - Ever Diligent In Training. Or Even Dieting Inspires Teamwork. Or Editors Diet In Tandem. Or Editors Delete It Together. Or the EDIT4S Team (since there are 4 of you)- Editors Diet In Time 4 Summer. Ok, back to my wip. Congrats on your loss, Becky, and hope your team wins! (or loses, actually.)
Or how about a play on acquisition.

I like Butt Busters, because both editors and writers spend lots of time sitting on them. (sigh) I find it's hard to add to the suggestions already listed in these comments. LOL. Um...I think I'll go get another cup of coffee...
But I hope you win!!
HEY!!!!!!

Rejecting Pounds/Accepting Health?
That's not good. (Ha.) But there are some funny ones here that apply.
Good for you all! It's hard to lose, but doing this as a team helps.
Stay tough and reach those goals!
Congrats on losing two pounds! That's a good start!
For names, how about:

Vickie
Love the idea of a team of Biggest Losers! Maybe we can do that where I work.
Wow, some of those suggestions for a team name are awesome!
