The Weigh-In - Day 1

So here are the official figures for Day One:

	Beginning Weight	Target Weight	Target Loss
Mom	213.5	179	34.5
Me	234	180	54
Eileen	262.5	199	63.5

We're in America, so all weights are in lbs.

The duration of this challenge - for the overall target weight loss - is 11 months, until July 2010. Hopefully a very workable target date!

Meanwhile, the first challenge is this: 12lbs by Thursday, September 10th. Fingers crossed that we all make it!!

And so it begins... I am kicking this challenge off with a 24-hour fast. I don't remember the last time I tried this, but figure it's a good way to start!

Oh, and I'm also planning on starting to run for the first time in my life.... For some COMPLETELY unknown reason and for the first time in my life, running has really started to appeal to me - it probably won't once I actually start doing it, but the theory so far is good!
