Thoughts on the weight loss challenge- a final review.

The weight loss challenge is now over.

"How'd I do," you might ask.

"It's not about the pounds," I say as you begin laughing...

But it's actually true this time! I lost a few pounds over six weeks, but also lost a few inches around the midsection. My shirt no longer has the tell tale exploding button. You've probably seen it. That button on a dress shirt that is so tight around the belly that it's in danger of bursting out like a gunshot.

Others were similarly happy with the weight loss challenge. Pamela was satisfied with her increase in conditioning and will try it again. Carlos, the torturer, aka trainer, was satisfied knowing that he has introduced another group to the fears...errr...cheerful part of exercising. One young bloke lost not only enough weight to win the competition, but actually became a year younger! Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit...

At least two contestants left the challenge looking completely skinny- I'll call them Joe and Ms. Tour de France. But, then they entered the challenge looking completely skinny... Why were they in the contest? Rumor has it that heavy people attract groupies...



Or maybe not..

Our trainers would probably say it's for increased conditioning,better muscle tone etc.. You know all that healthy stuff.

Many thanks to Carlos, Sam and Danny for training us beyond the limit of normal couch potatoes.

Until the next competition....
