Jay and I have decided it is time to make a "life style" change. We have always enjoyed the show The Biggest Loser, and when they came to Portland for a casting call in April, Jay could not pass up the opportunity to try out for the show. Out of 3000 applicants he was in the top 40 finalist from Portland. Sadly, he did not make it on the show, but we have been motivated by just going through the process.
This summer we will be doing our own "Biggest Loser" weight loss challenge. Every week we will have challenges and weight ins. We will be video typing everything (yes including the weight-in, which I am not happy about) posting weekly pictures and updating you with our struggles and successes.
Over the past few weeks we have been planing out our new life. We are taking advantage of having the time off during the summer to get a great jump start. We will be spending many hours in the gym every week, cooking and eating new fun foods, and educating ourselves in healthy lifestyle choices.
Last I would like to tell you why we are doing this blog. ACCOUNTABILITY!!!! The more people we tell the more accountable we will be. We are also looking for any prayers, positive feedback, recipes or advice, because we know that this will not be easy everyday.
So here we go!!!! We will be having our first challenge/weight-in on Monday, May 31st.
Blessing from our family to yours!!!!
Jay, Laura & Jera (JLJ)

ReplyDeleteGood luck. I wish you guys well. I recently lost 30 pounds, and, while it wasn't easy, it was well worthwhile. My next goal is another 20. -- Aaron Hill
