Losing Weight Leads To Obesity

After returning from Canada where we ate like kings for our entire vacation, Bri and I decided that we need to drop some poundage. We have been passively whining about gaining weight for a really long time, so we needed to find a way that we could both be motivated, and what would be more American than a little friendly competition. She and I are both incredibly competitive, so we knew if the stakes were right, we would be highly motivated to lose weight quickly.

The idea is simple. The person who loses 10% of their body weight first is the winner. And what are the stakes you ask? The stakes are big, really big. The loser has to buy a flat screen TV.

I do not want to shell out the cash for the TV, so I am highly motivated to win. How will I win? I am running far and eating right. So far it has been 24 hours, and I am realizing how much i miss these things: Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, Cheese, Pizza, and beer.

I am going to track what I have been eating here and the amount of exercise I have been doing in order to get down to 181.8 lbs.

Track my progress here!
