Default Weigh in today

My family and I started our version of the biggest loser on the 14th of January 2008. We have set individual goals for ourselves for a 3 month period and weekly goals as well. Every week we weigh in and if we do not meet our goals we have to pay 5.00. But for the next weigh in we have to lose what we were suppossed to lose that week plus the what was suppossed to be lost the prior week. So, long story short I was behind 4 1/2 lbs and I met my goal this week. For a total of 21 lbs lost all together. I have also conquered one goal this week of walking 2 miles on my treadmill. I am doing this thing and I am sooooo proud of myself. I just wanted to let others know that IT can be done! Good Luck and God Bless!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the 3 month Biggest Loser was of course me. I won aprox. $120.00 and lost a total of 25 lbs. I could have done a whole lot better with the weight loss, but I had too many cheat days. We have started again as of yesterday and my new goal for this next 3 months is a total of 30 lbs. I am bound determined to stick with it entirely this time. No cheat days, and exercise everyday! I just wanted to give everyone an update. I started at 281 and as of yesterday I was at 256. Going down, down, down. Yeah!
