The 2 Pound Challenge!!

So as you all know, I have had that little weight loss ticker on the side bar for some time now. Well, I need to go change the information, because I believe I have gained back the little bit of weight I lost, so don't be suprised if you look over there and it has moved back to it's starting point. Between all the prednisone, and stress eating I have done in the past several weeks I am sure it will be back at the start. On a positive note, I don't believe I have ADDED any weight!

Anyway, the hubby posed a challenge to me the other day. He calls it "the 2 pound challenge". (Kind of like the million pound challenge that is going on, but more tailored to the two of us!) We both need to loose weight so this will motivate us both. His deal is that we strive to loose 2 pounds a week and the first person to 10 will get to buy a new outfit!!!! To most men that wouldn't be much of a prize, but you don't know my hubby! HE LOVES TO SHOP!!! More than I do, and just about as much as most women in the US!!!! (and he won't kill me for telling you that, because it IS true!)

We both have at least 30 pounds to loose, so that could be 3 new outfits! However I did tell him that if/when I loose 30 pounds, whether I am the first or not, I will need a whole new wardrobe!!! He didn't say anything, but I bet if I loose 30 pounds he will gladly hand over his credit card!! :)

Anyway, I am off to change the ticker......kind of sad and depressing, but times are changing, and things will get better!

Hang in there! It's part of the whole process. It's good that you have an accountability partner. That seems to help a lot more than if you were loosing it on your own. Good Luck. I'm rooting for you to win :)

Boy, oh, boy! I've got a little weight loss ticker, too, and it has come to a standstill. I'm doing WW and have to weigh in tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to change my ticker at all. Bummer. But tomorrow is a new day...maybe i'll start to make a difference!
