Hi,
Most of you have heard of The Biggest Loser, a TV show that gets a bunch of people together and they compete to see who can lose the most weight. Well, I read an article in a magazine about a woman who challenged her husband at home and they did great.

I didn't think my hubby would go for it, but he did! We started a week ago, and we set a goal of 20 lbs each. We weigh in each week and the winner gets to name their own prize. The thing is, you have to lose at least 3 lbs that week to even qualify.

I'm pretty competetive, but so is he, so this should be interesting. I won the first week with a loss of 6.4 lbs, and he lost 3 lbs. I did a modified South Beach diet with salads and lean protein, lots of water, etc. He mostly cut out sugar and upped his exercise routine.

I know I can't keep up this pace for long - I'll get to 10lbs and will really have to work at it. I'll stop in each week and let you know how we're doing.

Kathy
