Testing the waters here. Who would like to take part in a fitness challenge from July 1 to Oct 1. I just had an uncle who had a near miss with a heart attack, I'm heavier than I have been in years and I have a LeMons race at the end of September and I need to be able to get in my fire suit. I'm thinking of looking at three catagories; weight loss, total time exercising and ???. I would put together something on Google Docs that allows for tracking.
Finally, prizes. I would be willing to kick in a small prize for a winner. If others want to chip in a prize for other categories that would be cool too.
I was thinking something like this from me as far as prizes go:

I just started going to the gym again last month, I feel better than I have in quite a while. 5 days a week for an hour and a half a day is all it takes to really change shit up. Get on it man.

you want in on the challenge? Ive been going to the gym regularly for some time. For me it is eating like a 7 year old that is hurting me.

If I lose any weight, I will waft away in a slight breeze.
If anyone wants to start a BIGMAN contest, hell I might be up for that

If you want an easy way to track it, look at fitbit. I got one to take part in a fitness challenge at work. Easy to track online

I am intrigued. I'm suffering from another back spasm, just kicked in yesterday. When I wasn't as heavy as I am now, I didn't have any problems. I'm not saying the weight did it, but it doesn't help. I've gotten back on my bike, riding 10 miles/day for the last week. I want to see how many weeks I can string together, and wanted to ride today, but the back precludes that. A couple of years ago, I had my own health scare (not cardiac) that got me dieting, and I was reasonably successful. But I've been off that regimen for some time. It's more difficult in the summertime when I'm feeding myself and my boys, but it's doable.
So, long story short, I would be interested. But I've never done such a challenge, so I'd need some more info.
BTW, did you receive what I had sent to you? We're right in the middle of the delivery date window.

I'd be in for a challenge. I need some motivation to get my ass out of bed early to workout and run. If I leave it for after work, I generally won't/get stuck working late and can't.
I hate going to the gym. Changing at work is a pain, and dealing with a locker at the gym annoys me. I also never know what to do and feel silly when everyone else is all ripped like Jesus.

I will count you in. Whatever form of exercise people want to do is ok.
Haven't seen anything yet, but I will keep my eye out.

Not sure of the scale. They are about 12" long. I have 4 or five on my desk and they have them at the company store. I would give the winner choice of what aircraft type they would like.

We could include you as well. Is not just weight loss, but time in the gym.
