Well, tomorrow - ok, technically today - marks day one of our newest challenge. Mom, Eileen & I have challenged each other to lose weight - our ultimate goal being to each reach target goals we're happy with. More on those later....
Meanwhile, our first family weigh-in will be tomorrow (this) morning, and we will weigh in with each other every Thursday after this. The idea is that we will set "attainable" goals, both in terms of time and of weight loss; at the end of each period of time, whoever has lost the LEAST amount of weight will put a certain amount of money into the pot - exact amount will be determined tomorrow morning when we all get together. At the end of the challenge (again, final end date to be determined tomorrow - we've really thought this all through already, can you tell??!!), the funds from the pot will be used to buy an animal through Heifer International to help a third-world family better their living situation.
All three of us will be posting to this site about our efforts, successes, failures, frustrations and breakthroughs. We will also post photos - before, during and (hopefully!) after ones - as well as our actual weights at each weigh-in. We're not trying WeightWatchers , Jenny Craig, SlimFast or any of the myriad other diets out (at least, I don't think any of us is planning on doing that!), but rather each of us is going to be going at it from our own plan of attack.
Let the game begin!
