Here it is. We're ready enough that we can make this announcement.
I mentioned a couple times that JR and I had this idea in the works.
I know we've talked about doing something like this in the past and there have even been a couple attempts to do it. This time, we're gonna do it and stick to it! Want to join us?
Click here to see if you want participate with us in "25 Weeks".
I actually have been migrating back towards a better eating plan for this last week or so. I've done better in many aspects, but not where I need to be with it yet. I'm still not speaking to the scale. It's in "time out" in my downstairs bathroom until it can say something nicer to me. Last time it just said "Moo!"

Sounds like a great idea! I'm thinking about signing up. I really need someone kicking me in the butt to keep me motivated. If I sign up, can I count on someone doing just that when I slack off?

We probably won't get too mean, but I will keep posting progress or lack of for the full 25 weeks. Your percentage of change each week will be on the home page for everyone to see. That should also be a bit of a motivator to keep going.

I'm actually willing to kick your butt even when you don't slack off.
Mz signed up, and I know my friend Ed is going to do it too. His wife is still thinking about it.
If you want to sign up, just send me an email to the address linked in the article and I'll get you a login account. I just need to now your: First Name: Requested Password: Email address you want to use: (if different from the one you used)
I'm still thinking on it. The only problem with using public shame as a motivator is I'm fairly shameless! I have a very generous "Yeah, SO?" sense of my own behavior.

I forgot to add . . . I set up a twitter account that the will get alerted when there is a new blog post. If you want to follow the blogs, its: http://twitter.com/losewithus
This has just fallen right for me, as I have literally just decided to get back on a healthy(ish) lifestyle plan again... so I will sign up tonight, just hope I can keep commited to the cause for you guys.
This is a great idea! I've gained back 5 of the 10 I'd lost between Thanksgiving and New Year's and I really haven't felt motivated to do anything about it. Surely with a group of us sharing ideas we can make things happen... I will sign up too

This is a good idea. I know I have struggled the last two years. I put on so much weight. I don't even think the scale has the number for my current weight. If it says anything, it would probably yell, "Get off! You are hurting me." I keep telling myself to do something, yet I continue to not do a darn thing to help myself.

This weekend I weighed myself, and then my soon-to-be-5-yrs-old daughter weighed herself. She came in at 40 lbs, and then she asked me if she weighs as much as I do! Oh well, last week she told me I have a big tummy, even though I'm not that much overweight, and she told my wife she has yellow teeth, even though they aren;t that bad.... Good thing we love her....
