"Lose a Whole Person" Challenge
FamilyHost_Annabelle - September 30, 2008
Tomorrow is the first day of October. I propose that tomorrow we record our weight (for our own eyes, of course), work hard all month to lose as many pounds as we safely can, then tally up the results on Halloween. I think that if there are enough of us, we could possibly lose a whole person - a ghost from our past that we may never have to see again!. Any takers?

I was wondering who was going to be the first friend to ask me that! LOL
Glad you're in, BroncosDad. Are you using a particular food plan for this challenge?

My mom says baby weight takes a while to lose... about 18 years.

All kidding aside, I have about 40 lbs of baby weight to lose. The baby is going to be two years old. I'd like to lose it before he's off to college.

I bet I could knock 8 lbs off this month. I'm in! Do you want us to check in periodically? Like once a week or something?

Checking in once a week is a great idea! We used to submit our weekly weight loss to the leader of the group, and that worked for us.

Thank you for taking the challenge!

Counting inches is a super idea! Measuring the waist would probably be a good weight loss indicator. Sometimes when people exercise, they gain muscle mass and lose fat, which is a good thing. A pound of muscle is denser than a pound of fat, so it stands to reason that you would be smaller even if the scale doesn't show it. Fat loss doesn't necessarily show up on the scale, but it does show up around the waist!

Okay - I weighed myself this morning, so I have my starting point. I'm also going to commit to walking a mile a day. I found my pedometer, so now I have no excuse!
