Ok, I am one week in on my weightloss challenge and I think I have made a really good start with a 7lb loss. I am sure most of that is going to be water weight, but it is encouraging to start out with such a reassuring dent in that 50lbs.
Ockham suggested I start up a physicsdiet.com profile so that you can all check my progress whenever you like. You can view it here: Physicsdiet Profile.
Be aware that I am only putting in the weight loss data and not calorie data, so don't freak out at my daily calorie deficit, I am not putting in my food intake (weighing out stuff = effort.) I will, of course, still be giving weekly updates here as well.
I will (attempt to) update it every day, so you will get to see every sin I have committed. Feel free to kick my ass if you see me gaining!
Alright, I checked my weight this morning and nearly shrieked at the scales. I am now a hefty 280lbs. This is really quite ungood for a 5ft 4inch chick, and frankly, I don't want to be shopping for moo moo dresses in a years time. Therefore, I have come to a decision. I pledge to lose 50lbs by Christmas Day, 2008, and I will be posting weekly reports on my progress during this time. If I feel really brave, I will get the husband creature to take picture updates for me too.
What I would like from you is this: If you want to help support me. I want people to sponsor me during the next 9 months. Whether it be per lb, 10lb or on completion. Any and all money raised from this will be going to Joli's centre, so know that it will be going to a good cause. This is win/win both for myself, and for anyone who knows Joli and the massive amount of good she that does.
If I have support, I know I can do this. I don't plan on letting myself or any of you down. Wish me luck!

As always and as in everything, you have my full support.
And I suppose to get this party started, I will pledge $1 per lb lost to be paid at Christmas time.
You rock! *hugs massively*
I love you AND the Center...I'll go $1 per lb, too! I expect to be $50 poorer by Christmas, young lady. And I'll be checking your progress in person in November!
Wheee! $100 riding on my ass, or impending lack of, now. *hugs hard*
:Makes note on my calendar and puts $50 aside:
Count me in for $1 a lb.
You are awesome! :D
I can afford $1 a pound...should I just send Joli the $50 now, showing my unwaivering faith in you?
And at $1 a pound, I'd buy 2 of you! You are worth your weight in gold.
Oh wow... that is amazing of you:)) It is up to you how you want to do it. If you want to send it to her now, make sure you remind me constantly that you have done this. Each dollar riding on this spurs me on and makes me even more determined to do it. Thank you! *hugs massively*
I believe in you.
Considering branching out into pet portraits.
Is this selling out?
