Ok, NOW I started

So I was originally suppose to weigh in last Monday, but no one remembered to bring a scale. So we pushed it back to Friday, November 30th. As of right now, we have 8 or 9 people participating in this "Biggest Loser" competition. We need to get it together a little more, we are kind of slacking. Stacey is taking charge and keeping track of everything. This weekend she is printing up a contract and trying to work things out. We decided we needed a contract in case people dont stick with it, because it wont be fair to the others who do stick with it. So friday we all put $10 in to begin. We will weigh in every Friday for 6 months. For every pound we gain, we have to add another $1 to the pot. If we maintain or lose weight, we are safe. If someone decides they arent going to stick through it the whole 6 months, they are to pay $5 per month for the remainder of the time. Should be interesting.

I still need to take my measurements but here are my stats so far as of Friday, November 30th:

Height: 5'3
Weight: 165.5

Soon we will figure out our measurements and percentage of body fat.

I'm going to periodically post pictures of my progress. This is a big step for me....as I would NEVER let anyone see these pictures. Im hoping it will give me motivation though so I wont look like this anymore. Here it goes....










So there are my awful pictures. That's ok though....I just keep telling myself that I wont look like that in 6 months. I'm on the road to a healthier me!! :-)
