Down To Business

Okay, just so you'll know... I've recommitted myself to the competition. Everything I've read in the "Abs Diet," purchased as a non-birthday, non-anniversary, non-Christmas gift by my teammate this week just for me, says you MUST build muscle to chase away fat.

I had my first workout in the gym today in years, and so far I'm happy with the results (see picture).

Can't wait for the weigh-in next week.

From Eleanor

Hi everyone on the loser Blogger.

Here is a picture of Jack and me . Eleanor.
I belive Jack and I are the oldest of our bunch.

This is so much fun. Iam sure we will all do good

well. If we keep our eyes on god first.

Tim has been keeps us all on our toes,and encourages

us every week.

Tim & Rebecca has the greatest bunch of kids we

have ever been around. We have adopted them as our children to. So we are just grandpa Jack
and grandma Eleanor.
Would of gave anything to of be as knowable when we were raiseing our ten children they all turned out be great kids. they all know the Lord some are more closer then others.
This week has been nice , in the 70's. It rains in the nightand every thing is green and the
flowers are coming up they are so pretty.
Ya'all keep up the good work cause uses out here are sure working hard to.
Thank you for the invite.
God Bless each and every one of you Jack & Eleanor

BUT SERIOUSLY...SORT OF

On a more serious note, it is really good to be a part of this contest. I love that we can come together across all these miles to help encourage each other. Here is a fairly recent family picture and a fun one of Rebecca and me. We are already having a great time eating healthy and exercising, looking forward to the rest of the contest. And listen here, all y’all “Hook ‘Em Horns” Texicans! We Washington folks don’t just jump into things. Lake o’ The Pines stays between 70-90 degrees year round. Our waters flow directly from glaciers! We ease into things. It’s a cultural thing. But, mark my words, long after you southern sissies are sitting on the beach sipping grape juice coolers singing kumbaya, we will still be in the water - somewhat blue, horribly wrinkly, and experiencing multiple levels of cardiac trauma - but we still be swimming. All that to say, great job guys! Keep up the good work!

BIG THUMBS-UP

My sister (Cari) has been hounding me to post a "before picture" for our contest. Here is a picture from last summer at one of our summer community ministry programs. We were hosting an assortment of outdoor games for the neighborhood kids. I actually lost this race by quite a large margin, but we had a good time and we were able to share the Gospel with several families. As you can see, I plan to continue jogging as part of my plan to be the biggest loser. I suppose eating healthy will have to come in eventually, but the jogging for now. If you see me out there pound'n the pavement, give me a big thumbs-up.

From the House of Musick...

Hi, I'm Lauren, wife of the infamous winner of Week 1, Stu! He's a little leary of these blogs so it's doubtful you will ever hear from him. I, on the other hand, have been in the ministry for 10 years and was a PK all my life before that, so I haven't the slightest idea what privacy is nor do I require it:) I wish you all the best of luck and would be joining you in this contest, at least half-heartedly, if we hadn't just found out we're going to have quite the Thanksgiving gift this year!! Yay for positive pregnancy tests and morning sickness at 3 PM! Keep up the great work and watch out for my husband, he doen't have me weighing him down this go round!

The Sound of Musick?

You don't know how long I've waited to use that one, Stu!!

Nice job this week -- but I must remind you of this one important fact about competing in Loserville: it's a marathon, not a sprint!

Just getting started again on our end -- well, I'm just getting started. My wife Jeannie has been pretty gung-ho since New Year's. I've only been sort of gung I guess.

Good start for all and Stu has thrown down the thunder, so to speak. At least now we know who we're chasing. Sort of like the Patriots last year...and we all know how that turned out.

And also, Hook 'Em Horns. (That's a cheer for us folks down here, by the way). Good luck next week everyone.

Rebecca Walker

Midlife insomnia, huh? That phrase hit me hard today. Those words were written by Cari, but we are only two months apart in age. If she is midlife, then I must be also. I can handle the insomnia part, but midlife? I have never acknowledged the fact that I am considered midlife. Wow!

Anyway, here I am...a member of Loserville. Tim and I are doing it together and are so excited. Tim will be good for the competitive side of this ordeal and I will be good at passing along a bit of encouragement. I will post a picture of us soon.
Looking forward to getting to know you,

I have been sporadically working out, running, attempting to eat well over the last 10 years, that's probably what has prevented me from becoming the typical overweight preacher boy, yet I've never turned the corner to true health. Health that leads to freedom from the image I see in the mirror. Health that frees me to relate to everyone no matter their body shape, size, or lack thereof. I so want to be in tune with the Christ who lives in me, who lives with me, who lives all around me, so that I might embrace myself, my family, my world not based on terms relative to my judgements of them but an embrace that is based on the purpose of my being, based on why Jesus abides in my heart, why He died and now is yearning to be known through those of us who are His own. I want to be free, free to hear Him, free to act upon His words, free to be the me He created me to be. God has spoken to me and His words are, "Where are you?" In that little question I have found an invitation to come out of my little depressed creation into the openess of His world. An invitation to be restored to purpose and love and relationships like I've never known. I'm just sharing what's happening. Competively I want to win all your money. But in my heart something much grander is taking place. May we be blessed to listen for the God who still speaks in the breezes and raindrops of Spring.

Welcome Losers!

You can check this blog to see weekly rankings, and hear some friendly rants and raves from fellow competitors. You still need to email your percentages to CDJ on Monday mornings, but the group report will be posted here...for all the world to see, so to speak.

If you wish, feel free to post your thoughts, struggles, and moments of victories here as well. If you find a tasty recipe or powerful scripture, I hope you'll share with the group.
