Well, the first week of the challenge is over, and the weights are recorded. So far, 18 people have logged a weight, which I think is fantastic! I'm so excited to have so many participants, and I would love to see even more people decide to join us.
I feel like I should take a minute to give credit to the weight lost before this challenge started. A few of us have been trying to lose weight for a while now, and while that will not count for our challenge, it certainly deserves some recognition!
Uncle Rob was down 40 pounds this year, before we even started talking about doing this as a family, which is wonderful!
Four of us (Nancy, Gary, Becky Sumner and I) have been on Weight Watchers, and have lost a combined total of 60.9 pounds! For those four, I have a recorded weight from the week before Week 1 of the challenge, so even though this does not count for our "Biggest Loser", I have to give credit because 8.3 pounds were lost last week, for a loss of 0.94% (calculated on just those four weights)!
If anyone else has a victory to share, let me know, because I think the key to this challenge is that we celebrate every victory and all progress, no matter how large or small.
