So, I need a major kick in the ass with the dieting/exercise thing. A few friends on my f-list did a weight loss challenge that seemed to be helpful for them.

I would like to start my own.

It will go like this, if you're interested:

1. Let me know if you are interested in joining and give your email in the comments or email it to me at: corvaxgirl [at] gmail [dottie] com.

2. When I get everyone who is interested, we will start a group email where you will state what you are doing to loose weight (stop drinking soda, exercise, weight watchers, atkins, the zone, whatever). It will be assumed that you are a reasonable adult who has chosen to do sensible things such as adding more water and fruits and veggies to your diet and that you won't be doing some kind of horrible crash diet and/or engaging in eating disorder behavior.

3. When we have everyone who wants to do this, there will be a "weigh in day" where everyone gives their starting weight to the group. Every week, we will weigh in and email to the group. Everyone will be on the honor system to report honestly.

4. At the end of the month, whoever has lost the most weight will get $10 from each person participating. This will be done through Paypal for sake of ease. So if ten people are participating, the "winner" will get $100. Everyone has a week to pay the "winner". If you don't pay within a week, you'll be removed from the challenge.

If this sounds interesting to you, but you think $10 a month is too much, we can lower it to $5 if that's the concensus.

Let me know if you're interested!
