Welcome to the Challenge!

Whether your goal is to lose 5 lbs, 50 lbs, or even just tone up your body, we are so excited to have you working with us! Its wonderful to see a family come together and support each other in living a healthier life.

Each week, we'll weigh ourselves and at least share the percentage of weight lost from the previous weeks weigh in. I will not show actual pounds for those who are not comfortable with it, but only the percentage. The list on the right of the blog will be updated with the rankings of who lost the largest percent of weight in the previous week.

Throughout our challenge, everyone is encouraged to share any tips or advice of things that may work for them. You may be able to help others with something they've been having a hard time with. Also, don't be afraid to post about any questions or frustrations you may be having. Someone else could help. I'm sure many of us are to feel a little less motivated at times or frustrated about things. If you share those with us, you as well as others will be able to see that we're not alone, we are in this together. (That may sound cheesy, but I believe it is true.)

I'll post a weekly tip on the right of the blog. I'm obviously not a nutrition or fitness guru, so these tips are coming from the Biggest Loser Show's site, not from me.

We are excited and wish everyone luck in the challenge and in achieving their own personal goals!
