Anyone want to join me

...in a RacersReunion weight loss challenge? Hey, I know this isn't racing related, but it is family related and we ARE family. Big D and I are just getting bigger and bigger (he's bigger than me) and I'm concerned for several reasons...health being the most important, but not wanting to give in to to larger clothes is another good one. I'm just sayin...I won't do it without being pushed. I once weighed 240 and lost to 193. Now I'm 220 on my way back to who knows where.

I'm not saying any of y'all need to lose weight, but there are probably some who are like me and need to be challenged. If there is enough interest, we could establish the beginning and end of the competition and come up with a prize for the winner.

So, what do you think?

Sure..lol My mom is on a diet so I eat healthy anyway. I'm usually around 170-175. Then when I was sick back last month and didn't eat that much...I was down to 158. After I got back from vacation two weeks ago though, I'm sure I gained it all back. But, sure, I'm all for it and probably a lot of other folks will too!

Hummmm, no more care packages!!!! :-p

yeah but look at it this way tim-- you dont have to use a restrictor plate being as your chassis is heavier than jeffs but then again you never know--maybe you need to protest him on chassis weight. He just maybe putting on a "front" now as for robbie i think you will see he is running a little heavy on the front but that may be a reason for him being up high so much

This is directed at me. I know it. I deserve it. But I still don't like it. lol

OK. I'll give you my weight a little later tonight.

I know how much one should weigh and/or may need to lose is based on height and age. Anyone have that chart readily available? Walkingand drinking more water can help. I lost 8 lbs lastyear walking around the infield of HCS over a three weekperiod of time.

k, the Legend is in. This morning, on the digital scale, 238.8 in boxers and a t-shirt (please no attempts at mental picturing that). Jeff is right. This is a family here and this is a family thing. Since we don't all have the same scales, etc., we need to be true to ourselves and our family and let's go for it. I propose we weigh Tuesday, February 1, 2011, then work toward a deadline of April 1, 2011. Use the same scales every weigh in and we'll keep that pretty accurate. As for a prize, for me, to lose 10 pounds by that date will be prize enough. Ok, start lining up. Who is in?

Hey Tim, let get up a club and walk the speedway each evening! I'll also post a pic of me in a Speedo and we can watch progress!

Larger Clothes? ? ? At my house Karen switched laundry detergents and it made ALL my clothes shrink, made it hard for me to button shirts then in a matter of just weeks it happen to most of my pants too ! It pays to read those detergent labels to get the best results....BB in ther big "D"

yup, almost. .75 and the rest were measured with pedometer as I did quite a bit of walking the perimeter. 2000-2025 steps equal 1 mile.

I actually headed out for a scooter ride...battery was dead so I took off to get a new battery whichwere out of stock so I have it coming from Charlotte Monday..then since I'm not really into the superbowl I headed to HCS in order to prepare for upcoming activities!

Hey Jeff didn't know you had such long range vision. This challenge is aimed at me I think. I have to lose about 25 pounds and I need all the help I can get. Count me in.
