I am pretty proud we are both losing weight, but even more so than that we are making a lot of great lifestyle changes. I have cut out all soda and we haven't been eating out. I'm very happy with these changes and although we haven't lost a ton of weight we are doing things to better our lives.

The Competition - Starting Stats

Well folks, the time has come for the official weigh in... you may have thought we wouldn't post our actual starting weights, but we are... both of us have agreed to put it out there for the world to see.

Starting Weight:

Chad: 210 lbs
Jenn: 178 lbs

And so the competition begins!!

Weight Loss Competition

Lately Chad and I have noticed just how much weight we have gained... we keep talking about doing something about it, but we haven't. I think our biggest problem is motivation and accountability... so we've decided to have a little competition. This will be a very friendly competition. We want to motivate and encourage each other to get back into the shape we want to be in.

So without further ado here are our official rules:

1. There will be a weekly weigh in every Monday evening.
2. Numbers will be compared based on percentage of weight lost. There will be two totals a weekly weight loss and total weight loss.
3. Every other week we will measure our midsection to see inches lost. This will not be a competition factor, but purely for informational purposes.
4. The winner each week can designate any one household chore or meal to be made.
5. Monthly winners (meaning every fourth week) will get a weekend of pampering or the equivalent.
   
6. As of now we will set a session one end date of 12 weeks.
7. Rules may be altered or added to as this competition progresses.
8. No leeway or exemptions will be granted.
9. We can weigh in early for a good reason (i.e. will be out of town on night of weigh in)

Join us back here Monday for us to get this competition going.
