Hey Losers!

Here is a place for us to share all there is about our quest towards being a healthier family. Feel free to post goals, progress reports, workouts, recipies, encouragement and challenges. This is a way for us to keep in touch and to encourage each other. This is our first try at this, so I say we give it our best shot and take some time to agree on the rules:

Today is WEIGH IN DAY!! Everyone can weigh in as long as you are willing to use the same scale to weigh out. Also, the grand prize needs to be put together. I offered the idea of everyone presenting their own prize and the winner takes the sweepstakes. I suggest we all come up with a prize that is worth $50. It can be in the form of straight up CASH or a service or whatever, but it should be something that is valuable enough to you to motivate you to become a healthier version of who you are right now. So, we will give everyone till the end of the week to respond to this blog with what they are willing to offer for the sweepstakes.

The winner is the person who loses the highest percentage of weight. I suggest this be decided on the morning of the 9th of August. I am hoping to help host a birthday party for Christine and Ted in Pepin on that date (they will both be 40!), so it would be a good place to get together and have our final weigh in.

If you have anything to add, please do. I will work with Christine to get this Blog up to speed so we can post pictures and whatnot and make it a real place to connect on our Losers Quest.

Later,

EJ and Christine
