Yes, to kick things off, we had Mark, Sandy, Jim, Laurie, Kevin, Sherry and even some kids went on a glorious walk around Pickerel Lake. The 45 minute walk was done in a cool 28 degree weather and the wind off the lake made it feel even colder, but nevertheless everyone finished strong. No one lost signifcant weight though. Jim Veenema, a dashing figure to behold, looked very impressive in the up-hill portion. "Yeah, me feeling pretty good today, I don't weigh myself ever, I can't wait for the next meeting where I can eat some food. I'll have lots."
Then the contestants drove back to the Higgin's house where each subject ate some nuts and drank some beer. Mark took attendance and made rules. The subjects went to the basement and were weighted in and BMI'd.
Mark PumpkinKing: 30.29 189
Sandy Missy 33.84 211
Jim Mo 22.37 165
Laurie Mrs Huge 29.05 158
Sherry Missy 23.75 139
Kevin Dad 33.89 244
In one month, the winner will be the person who makes the best gain by percentage of BMI. Each member will bring $10 to the meeting to give to the winner. Then the contest begins again, with the new weight data as the starting point. I believe the plan is for 3 months, but maybe we need to be more clear at the next meeting.
Mark ate 6 pieces of cheese the night the contest ended. Not a good start. He did shovel the walk today and he did think about doing some cross country skiing later on when he gets a fresh start next week....
