Dan and I had brainstormed, and had officially challenged Karl and Nikki and Krystal, our best friends (Dans brother) to a weight loss contest. Sort of like the biggest loser, but we can't compete like that, cause we have lives and jobs. Oh well.
So next Sunday, we will go over to their house armed with our digital scale, and everyone will weigh in. I'll bring over all our weight loss books, put them on the dining room table to show what we know. They say they don't have a scale or diet books, strange. ;)
They say that Karl is probably not going to participate, but that will make it even cause it'll be Nikki and Krystal. We are evenly matched too, cause Krystal has a bad knee, so I have two bad feet. Perfect!
They instantly said they will head out and get a gym membership, that's great for them. We can't afford one, but we have my pilates machine and our apt complex has a pool. So they may have a pool also from the gym, but we'll see.
So team Langskip; Nikki and Krystal; one trip knee, and they will join a gym.
team Lunazure; Dan and myself; two bad feet, and we have a pilates machine, a pool, and we can go bike riding, but .....we dont' have to tell everything. :)
So we start next Sunday, and we go for the first 12 weeks. Will there be prizes in between, yes. The first person to reach his or her long term goal, the other 3 will chip in and do something nice for the first winner.
What's after the first 12 weeks? A weigh in, and we'll find out what each one is doing "Atkins, Nutrasystem, Jenny Craig" etc. So we go for the next 12 weeks, this goes on until we reach the time of the Ball, Oct 2008!!! 16 months of workin' it with loving competative support.
So what's the final prize for the team that collectively lost the most weight? Easy, treat the winners to a great dinner at their favorite restaurant! This oughta be goooooood.
