Loserville

January 2, Philip and I participated in a "Biggest Loser" competition with some friends at church. It lasted 12 weeks and we won that rig by losing 15% of ourselves! We weren't finished so when my brother, Tim wanted a piece of the action, we agreed. He & Rebecca are one of 10 teams from Washington, and Philip & I gathered a comparable group of friends/family down here in Tejas. Each Monday we report how much weight we've lost in terms of percentage. Everyone's combined loss totals more than 180 pounds! Isn't that wonderful. See what a bunch of strangers can accomplish in 6 short weeks when they get motivated. All "teamwork" aside, the top five losers are takin' home a prize June 23.

Anyhoo, if you're bored and or interested, you can check out the Loserville blog by clicking on the link in the sidebar. My favorite post is Tim's from the first week. You'll know it when you see it. He's a stinker.
