With the exception of a select few, the members of my 'large' family (pun intended) could stand to lose some weight. With this in mind, my sister,Camilla, came up with a great idea. Let's start a Biggest Loser challenge in our own family. Each of us who would like to participate would donate $30 or so into the pot. Then pictures and measurements would be taken and the race would be on! Whoever lost the most body mass percentage (since we're all built a little differently) would win the pot after a period of three months. This has inspired me even more than I already am.
There's a lot to be said for not only losing weight, but winning. We are a competitive people at heart, and I think that is going to be beneficial to our belt lines. It also doesn't hurt that there will be a cash pot for the winner too!
So on April 23rd or 24th, when the greater part of the family will be gathering together for our annual Super Family Fun Day, we will start the competition. The gauntlet will have been thrown and we will be left to our own devices to figure out how to lose the most baggage we possibly can in three months.
I'm excited. I will post my own progress here. Camilla suggested that we all put our before and after information, but that is up to each contestant. Here we go!
