I've recently joined in with a group of 21 others in my office in a weight-loss challenge. We throw in $2 every Friday (started last week, on the 12th) and for 10 weeks we weigh in. The person to lose the most weight in the end wins the pot. I thought to myself: What a great idea! All I need is a little motivation.
I know I won't win, but it's helping me to have this 21-member support network to shed a few extra pounds. Everyone shares their healthy eating and exercise tips and its a great way to bond with some of the people around the office that I don't normally get to chat with.
So last Friday I weighed-in, 2 pounds more than my scale at home has been telling me. And I've had a bit of a rough start. I've been craving potato chips like crazy! In hopes that its just my body wanting cruncy and vinegar-y stuff, I opted for a crisp salad and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Which I just splashed all over myself. Does red vinegar stain?
I'll try to keep posted on my (hopeful) weight loss - although I won't disclose my actual weight on here, I'll note how much I've lost (or gained....a good possibility).

You go honey! Someone just needs to talk me into putting down the cake and backing away. Then I could join you in your endeavor. I've seen pictures though and you look FABULOUS.
I know, Kris! She's all talk. I think she just likes the attention.
You should go for it, Kel. It'll end up being a lot of money, won't it?
What a great idea for an office challenge. Something to keep everyone motivated and healthy. Hmm. You don't need it - but I hope you win anyway!
You guys are being too nice, but I do need to lose a few. Especially if Adam and I still plan our trip South this Spring.
I weighed in this morning...and, although I didn't lose, I didn't gain either.
Go for it, Kelly.
I'm on day 4 of my diet and it's KILLING me. I made the mistake of going to a pub this afternoon and really, pub food, not so much diet material. I had to improvise to stay on track and afterwards I was just sad because everything else sounded so good!
But not being a chunky monkey anymore will be worth it.... I hope.
