WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - UPDATE:

Well - one month has gone by & we've all weighed in for the first update of our weight loss journey. We've each lost a little. As a matter of fact, Mark told me he's lost 6 pounds since we started last month & he's not even trying to. I guess it's all the walking! Apparently our challenge has inspired others too- our friend Bob e-mailed me to say he wants to lose weight too. Anyone who wants to join is welcome - all you need to do is email me your goal, your planned method of weight loss and a picture. Then each month I need an updated picture & your total loss that month. The more the merrier!

Here's the photographic update followed by the numbers. Between the 5 of us (I'm including Mark), we lost a total of 39 pounds! Imagine that as 1 lb boxes of butter - that's A LOT of butter! WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!!!

Do any of us look any different than we did last month?

Progress:

remember - JG has a total loss from much more than just one month since she started her program months & months ago...
