When I woke up to take my dogs out to the bathroom, I thought about how this is more than a bet to win money.  It is more than just about loosing weight also.  This is about living a healthy lifestyle through exercise and eating.  It is about leading by example.  When we focus on healhty eating and exercise, results will happen and those around you will notice.  They will come and ask you, "What are you doing to loose weight?  You look great."  This is how you get your family and friends to start changing their lifestyle.  When they see that YOU can do it, they now know they can also.  What a great time for those who have children to start teaching them the importance of eating healthy and exercising.  Remember, losing weight isn't just about you, but also about those around you and what they see you do, they will want to do also.  So keep up the great work.  You can do this.  If you fall down, get back up.  The longer you stay down the harder it is to get up and get back on track.
