January 4th, 2007 our precious Larah Mikal was born. The moment she popped out I realized that if I didn’t do something I would never see her graduate high school. No man in my direct line has made it past 50 and I was following that same course. I confessed my apathy and rebellion to God and asked Him for help in turning things around. That day, at 315 pounds, I decided to lose 100 pounds. At the conclusion of our BL contest I weighed 227 (27.94%). This morning I weigh 225 and am anxiously looking forward to misplacing the last 10 pounds. I anticipate that once I reach my goal of weighing 215 that I will probably extend the goal to the 200 mark. We will see. In addition to my weight goal I have two other goals on the horizon. August 4th I have a doctor’s appointment for a complete physical to see if I beat the cholesterol thing. Then, August 9th, I have been invited to run in a 10k for the Logger’s Jubilee here in our valley. I’ll let y’all know how it all goes. Thanks for helping me stay accountable through this blog. Hope all of you keep doing great.Monday, June 30, 2008

What a Bunch of Losers!
Washington wins it.
Congratulations to Tim & Rebecca: they're taking home first prize! I am absolutely impressed with your success. Super work, guys.
Jason Soles skillfully kept Texas in the top two by shedding over 10% of his weight. Outstanding!
Arla Bowers plowed a steady row toward winning. What a wonderful job!
Team Weaver kicked it into overdrive to secure their much-deserved spot in the top five. They represent the "long-haul" Texans who've been hard at work since Jan 2. Y'all are amazing!
What can we say about the cutest couple in this joint? Jack & Eleanor did a fabulous job! You guys are inspiring. Congratulations on making the top five.
One tiny shout out to my good friend, Donnis. I dub you Queen of Maintenance! Great effort....breaking even was precisely what you aimed to do, huh? Good girl!
Hey people-- In 12 weeks we lost 252 lbs together as a giant team. That's what I'm talking about!

Week 12 Results
Get a load of Connie Scott!!! Everyone who lost this week should be pleased...cause there was an epidemic of weight gain (of whom I am chief). Even the gainers should be pleased. In our hearts we know we're losers, don't we?
Thanks for a fun ride!

Keep it going?
Thanks to all of you for a great 12 weeks! Win, lose, or draw, this has been a great experience. I have appreciated the accountability and don’t know that I am willing to give that up just yet. If there is anyone else who would like to continue keeping each other accountable, Rebecca and I would be willing to post our continued percentage of loss each Monday (directly to the blog - we should probably let Cari off the hook). We both have weight goals that have not been met, and we certainly don’t want to spring back the other way. Let us know if you want to keep it up.
A special thanks to Cari. Thank you, sis, for doing all this. It was a great idea and you followed it up with your usual excellence in ministry. This has been a key element in helping Rebecca and I turn the corner on what I believe will be a new lifestyle from here on out. Thank you.

Next to Last!!!
Well, the "no reports" dominate this week's ranking. I gather there are a wide array of motivations and intentions fueling the mass failure to report. Rest assured! Though some things are not as they seem, next Monday morning will hold the moment of truth.
Now, How 'Bout Arla Bowers??? She appears to have secured a solid spot in the overall top 5. Tim and Rebecca have taken their lead out into the open, so to speak... Kim Dean seems to have a pretty good chance at winning back her entry fee. And with less than a tenth of a percentage point separating them, there may be a mild scuffle between the Weavers, Johnsons, and Fosburgs for "top 5" status. Six Days, and all will be revealed.
Even if you've fallen off the commitment wagon, I encourage you to hop back up just for 6 days. You can do it! If we each lost 1 little pound, that would be able to add 26 pounds to our group loss. Behold! The power of teamwork. No matter what you've experienced these last few weeks and months, we want you to finish strong.
Enjoy your week, everyone. Keep up the great work!

Well, blow me down! Who is that at the top of this week's numbers?? Could it be the fabulous couple who has been rocking number 10 the whole time??? Why, yes, it is! Those Johnsons even busted up one whole notch to number 9 overall. Unbelievable!
In other news: Soles, Walker, and Weaver are dominating the top 5 in both ranks again! I guess that's ok, if you're into consistency and stuff... Mitch and Arla are holding strong to their overall lead despite this week's holding pattern. Congrats to the Pollmans who had a nice showing this week as well.
Everyone else enjoyed life on the north side of the hill or campin' at the plateau...or they just didn't feel like talking about it. Only three more weeks to report. Let's get it in gear and finish strong! Run for the prize, people! (Not you, Tim, have a seat and eat a brownie, K?)
