Starting Over...Again

At the beginning of the year I set out to lose 20 lbs and started a blog to help me: 20lbs60days.blogspot.com. Well, I hardly wrote in it, hardly exercised and mostly ate. I had great intentions but lacked the motivation to continue. So, in an effort to be serious about losing the weight I need to be healthy, I've joined a weight loss group. For eight weeks and $55.00 we are monitored and encouraged to lose weight. On top of it they've added a monetary incentive. Twenty-five dollars more enters you in a competition against the other "contestants". Basically, it's Biggest Loser on a smaller scale (no pun intended). I feel like the odds are for me to win biggest body percentage lost since I have about 21 - 27 pounds to lose to get to my healthy range for my height. 20 pounds doesn't sound like much but I know I'm just fooling myself. It's going to be very difficult and but the good part is that I've invested in this program and I hate losing money!
