I’m participating in two fitness challenges at work!
One involves my entire team at work and includes a health and fitness portion each day of the week. The other is a weight loss challenge with two other co-workers.

Weight Loss Challenge
There are three of us at work that have decided to ramp up our efforts and challenge each other to a weight loss goal. The goal: 10 weeks to lose 20 lbs. We are each chipping in $20 and going to ask our manager to chip in an additional $40 for a total of $100 prize for whoever gets the closest to the goal. The idea here is that the money would be a good start for some new clothes (which we would surely need after losing 20 lbs). We weigh 180, 190 and 209 lbs - of all varying heights are between 5’5” and 5’10”. I should note here that this was wearing our work clothes which are heavier then when I weight myself at home.

Good for you. I will join your challenges. As best I can. We have no stairs, but I will think of something. I will weigh in tomorrow morning and post it here. Cause Deb looks better than she has in years, and my hip is hurting after 2 weeks of slacking due to my cold. (Now it is just excuses)
ohh great!! I'll post my weigh in's too! Hurrah!
Deb and kate and jen... so they will be talking about how awesome Nola and Jessie look!
Got off my ass and walked 3 blocks - about 20-25 minutes. Also I gave Kara a pedometer and she is walking 10000+ steps every day. This is the year of awesomeness!
207.2 This morning
Parked in the farthest corner (noy that far) and walked to the courthouse to get my flu shot. Working on the water now.
Sounds like fun challenges! Good for you (and your mom), good luck!
That's awesome mom! I need to find out how many of our work cups it takes to get to 1.5 litres... man have I had to pee today!
I only made about 1 litre of water, but I wore my pedometer and made 10909 staps yesterday. But I'll be having breakfast soon.
10456 Steps today. Walked Conan twice- 3 blocks tonight. And drank more water. and had cereal at 7 am
That's pretty impressive!! WEe slept in some today (saturday morning) - and so far i'm only at one cup of coffee and it's 11am.... me and the dog should go for a walk soon!
Wed. weigh in. 207.even. I didn't walk enough in sundre. Why do I let little things derail me. I need a picture of Auntie Denny on my fridge. She can't even get the joint replacements she needs because she is too heavy.
Repost the daily challenges so we can comment each week.
Great Idea mom! I'll set it up!
