The idea I had revolved around incentive and commitment. We are all fairly intelligent people, and in my case at this moment not that well endowed (get your mind out of the gutter) “Financially”.
I know not everyone knows this but I have a bad past full of bad habits most of which I QUIT COLD TURKEY. There is one thing that many of us (maybe I should just speak for myself), can't quit, or seem to get on track, and that is WEIGHT.
The Weight Challenge simple put, may just be the answer, some support and direct incentive to carry out the task, without having to pay for the consultations, and or pounds lost. Scoobyd had an excellent suggestion to help include those that don't need to loose as much (for instance, if she lost too much she might then be anorexic, and that would lead to a weight gain challenge). Arcterex had an excellent point, where some don't need to loose pounds, they want inches ( again.. out of the gutter).
Weight Loss Challenge Possibilities
Let me know if you think it will work, I just think it would be neat. We could have a big party at the end of the 6 months, and if for any reason other than better health, a party is kewl isn't it?
