It Starts

So shortly after having my 3rd baby, I talked my mom and 2 of my sisters into participating in a weight-loss competition. We all put in $50 in a winner-takes-all quest for decrease in poundage. When we started this, on May 1st, I think we all had high hopes of instant success, but as it is now September and we've all been diligent at making excuses as to why our success is so minor, I think its time for some kind of a jump start. We've got a support group, we're all pretty poor, so we've got motivation, we just need some drive. But here our loss stands, with 15 weeks to go:

Mom: 7
Big Sister: 7.7
Middle Sister: 4.6
Little Sister: 8
Dad: 0

Dad is a recent addition to the game, so his lack of loss is understandable, the rest of us are all talk and no action. But perhaps a blog will aid in our quest. If nothing else, it'll be fun!
