okay, it’s time to man up.
over the past couple of weeks, i fessed up to fifteen of my goals for the coming year. and as hard as it was to come clean, i told all of you that i needed to lose some weight. geez…i still can’t believe i said it!
but there were a lot of people who gave encouragement and said they were ready to sign up for a plan to lose their weight, also.
so after some thinking and listening and talking, i’ve come up with the plan:
yeah, you heard it here!
this is going to be a men vs. women competition…
start date: wednesday, january 13 end date: wednesday, may 19
rules for individuals:
weigh yourself…tell someone else for accountability.
you don’t have to make your weight public.
every tuesday, you report how many pounds you lost in the previous week…right here on the blog.
if you gain any weight and then lose it again, those pounds do not count. example:
o starting weight = 150 o week 1 – 3lbs lost (147) o week 2 – 2lbs lost (145) o week 3 – 3lbs gained (148) o week 4 – 2lbs lost…do not count (146) o week 5 – 2lbs lost…only one counts (144) o make sense? no rewards for yo-yo losing!
you can report your weight gain for accountability or not. if you don’t want to admit it, just report no weight loss.
again…you don’t have to tell how much you weigh…only how much you lose each week!
rules for teams:
recruit people to be on your team…our goal is to have the same number of men and women.
each team member needs to subscribe to my blog, in order to make weekly reports.
on january 13, i’ll post names of all team members, so get busy!
general rules:
you can use any weight loss plan you choose.
i’ll probably ask you to tell about your plan by commenting on my blog…optional, but could be really good.
for the next five months, you’ll get to keep up on “The Padre’s Biggest Loser” every wednesday on my blog…full of helpful hints, encouragement, testimonies, and suggestions from all of us!
so there it is.
anybody can make the commitment. no matter where you live. no matter if we know you or not. you just need to join up and tell us who you are (so we know which team you go on).
do you need to lose some weight? join the club! is it hard to own up to it? join the club! are you tired of trying to do this alone? well…join the club!
no more excuses. join the club… the padre’s biggest loser club!
