Hello Family - It's January again - time to begin the Battle of the Bulge. When I returned home from the U.P. I received an interesting e-mail from my friend Shannon. She asked if I would be interested in participating in a "Biggest Loser" contest - just like the show on T.V. Twelve people joined up and now are battling to lose weight. Every couple of weeks our % weight loss will be tabulated and the person with the smallest percent will be eliminated. Sometime in June, when there are two contestants remaining, the person with the greatest % weight loss of the eliminated contestant will return to battle against the two remaining contestants. In the end, the person with the greatest loss will receive 75% of the entrance fees we all paid, the second place winner will receive 15%, and the third place winner will receive 10%. Pretty cool - even if I don't win I will at least have lost some weight! So I rejoined Weight Watchers today and even at the end of the day of being "back on the program" I am feeling pretty optimistic. I wonder how many points one of Grandma's 7-layer bars are?!!!
On a side note I went and say "Freedom Writers" at the movie theater and I would recommend that everyone see it - it is a great 'true' story.
I hope you are all doing well. I look forward to reading your posts.
Love, Tracy
Good luck Tracy! The Biggest Loser is one of my favorite shows! It sounds like a fun contest with great rewards whether you win or just lose! Keep us posted!
