Melt Aways

I decided it was time to drop off a little excess baggage I was carrying around after the holiday season, ya know that junk in da truck syndrome. I'm crazy like that as most of you know. After reading multiple posts on Facebook about New Year's Resolutions, I decided to form my own little 12 week challenge to motivate people into getting healthy and dropping some extra poundage. Surprisingly we had a pretty good little turn out, 27 people joined and each paid $10. The person to lose the most weight wins $220 and the runner up gets $50. We are now a month into the challenge and we are starting to see some fantastic results. I created a private group on Facebook for the challengers and its been such a big support. Participants are always posting motivation quotes, successes, etc. Regardless of the fact that we are competing against each other, we are also a team and continue to offer tidbits of advice and encouragement for the other participants. My son Kaleb was insistent  on being part of the challenge and is transforming before my very eyes, I'm so proud of the him. Because he is younger we are promoting the idea of being healthy not the idea of losing weight. I've lost 12 pounds since Jan 1st and would like to lose 10  more, but the hubby isn't too keen on the idea of being married to a stick figure :( boo. I can't wait to see the end results and am proud of everyone that is participating, CHEERS TO BEING HEALTHY!!!
