The Great Weight Loss Race Update

OK it's time to officially start the Great Weight Loss Race. Ruth, Holly and I are in. Karl is waiting to see if he wants to join us. Amanda is cheering us on. Since nobody told me exactly what kind of prize they would like I think for this month we will try setting a goal and if you reach it, you get to buy yourself a prize. I'm going to steal Holly's idea and pay myself one dollar every time I work out and for every pound I lose. First, I want to say that I think you are all beautiful just as you are and the reason I started this is simply to be more healthy. I don't want any of us to get discouraged. Set a goal that is not too high, but not too easy either. My goal is to lose 3 pounds this month and keep it off. I'm going to work on exercising and portion control. If I have to deprieve myself of my favorite things, I know I won't do it, but if I can still have a little of my treats I think I can do that. Also, I found a great web site www.50millionpounds.com. The goal is for people in America to lose 50 million pounds. It's free to register and you get meal plans and a weight and activity tracker if you want to use them. I created a team called The Great Weight Loss Race (if anybody can think of a better name, we'll change it). If you decide to join the challenge, please join my team. Let me know how you're doing. Anyone can still join if they want.
