Brothers Weight Loss Challenge

I have been 235 lbs for many years. I may loss an occasional 5 lbs, but always gain it back. As I got older, I talked myself in believing that at least I am not getting fatter.... Well, I got a health check a month ago and lets say it was not good.

I nag Caitlyn about checking her sugar levels, getting exercise, and eating right. Now it is my turn to be an example and make a lifestyle change. My excuse up till now has been; "life simply gets in the way. Kids activities, family chores, work, and TV/computer time :)". I can't keep using it as an excuse and need to make it a priority for me and my family.

To help motivate me, my brother and I decided to have a weight loss challenge. Whoever loses the most weight from Oct 2008 to April 2009 wins an undetermined prize. Maybe an airline ticket to see the other brother.

I created a spreadsheet we plan to update each Sunday. You can view our weight loss data and charts on this spreadsheet.

Maybe all of this exposure and pressure will motivate me. Heck, I need to post a picture of myself, but I am afraid you would never come back to my blog.....
