Ok... here's the idea:
Effective January 1, 2006 all persons in this forum start a healthier living program.
Members of this forum, especially those participating, will be the backbone to our sucess.
Everyone will write a journal at least twice a month, original idea was once a week, and if you would/could/can write it once week, then by all means, please do. In this journal, you will tell the rest of the group things you've done different in your day to day life to make yourself feel better, what you do/don't eat or drink, exercises/activities that you've started or that you do, tell us how much weight you have lost or gained, whatever the case may be.
Here's the personal part:
We start out by current statistics........ age/weight/height/weaknesses
With that information, you share with the group your goal. IE: lose x number of dress/pant size...... lose x amount of weight, lose x number of inches whereever, such as hips, buttocks, arms, stomach, or wherever.
We will measure our weight/measurements day 1, and then, and ONLY every 8th day (go 7 days without looking on the scales and measuring tape).
Kind of like weight watchers I guess
In the journal, we give ideas to other members such as exercises, recipes to try, foods that we find OK to eat, foods to stay away from, tell each other how we feel, give testimonies, etc.
Let's say we do this for a period of 10 complete months....... Jan. 01-Oct. 31
Then you are on your own after halloween and the holidays, but we can do it again the next year.
Additional ideas.................. just an idea..........wondering what others think
For each month, we can have a "Loser of the Month" award, we'll figure out what the award can be, example, maybe if we ask nicely, maybe Joe will give the winner of the month a free extension to their SM membership, such as by 1-month or maybe up to 3 months. And the grand prize for the overall winner could be to receive a $1 bill in the mail from every member that officially participated.. so, if 100 people did this, then the overall winner would receive $100. And, maybe the winner doesn't want 100 people to know their mailing address, that's fine, someone that doesn't care to participate, could volunteer to collect and mail the proceeds to the winner.
So, how many in this group is game to give it a try???? Think it would be interesting and help????
