Welcome!
The One-Ton Challenge.
After the weigh-in, the total was over 2500!! This is where the one-ton challenge comes to play. I believe we can make us an even 1 TON. This means that as a whole, we have to lose over 500 lbs! Yikes!
Can it be done? I think it can...although it may take longer than the end of July.
What's your part? There are 11 people in the challenge now. That means we all have to lose just over 45 lbs each. Some will do more and some can do less.
How can I do it? Think about what you might (or did) look like 45lbs lighter. That should be enough motivation for us all. If you need some extra motivation, I hope this blog will do that.
Look forward to updates, healthy tips, pictures and more. Feel free to comment and post as well.
I'm hungry.....it is 3:48 and I have never eaten so many dill pickles in my life. I need some words of encouragement...yes I looked at the pictures...but a good sized candy bar looks better right now than a bikini Nana!!
