holiday weightloss challenge

so it appears i'm not the only one looking to lose weight! thank god because sometimes i feel like every runner out there but ME is slim, trim, and worthy of short-shorts. i waffled joining p.o.m's weightloss challenge because it required posting my actual weight. like in black and white. like for all the world to see. and i immediately thought, oh HELL no, you're freakin' crazy.

then i realized, shit, i'm not gonna be at this weight forever. why not document just how much i can tip the scales in my favor. so......

  • Post your current weight: onefiftyeight. not my heaviest but pretty close.
  • Post your goal weight: 135
  • Post your prize to yourself: this.

on mondays, i'll post my current weight to check the status. goals must be met by february 1st in order to give yourself your own prize. you are only competing against yourself. But, you have us to share your success with (because there will be no failure!)

Way to join us on the moment of truth mondays! Love the shirt! I have one of those shirts, but it is long-sleeved and says "Running is my therapy". Love it! Good luck!

You're in! I thought you said someone would have to pay you to post your weight. Did P.O.M. bribe you?

Good luck!!

Excuse me? I don't believe you weigh 158! How tall are you? You absolutely have to be joking! I weigh 144 and consider myself much weightier than you look! I'm floored, MPA. Floored!

I'm in, too. I'm not overweight, but I really need to start eating better, especially with the holidays approaching. And I could stand to shave off a bit of fat to run faster in the Carlsbad Marathon in mid-January.

I totally agree with you about thinking every runner out there is slim, trim and worthy of short-shorts but me. Then I get out on the course and realize it's just not true.

I'm not as brave as you about posting my weight. I never have on my blog. Stupid, I know, but I never claimed to be smart.
