It starts today! Challenge?

[ChubRock]

Last night was a friend's Christmas Party, and she called it the MacKinnon Clan Holidays Blowout! Though their scottish roots (via Nova Scotia) was the basis for the name of the party, it truly wasn't a Scottish theme.

I thought since people would dress up I would wear my new tank. Wife thought it was an ok idea until I put it on. My kilt maker made me a kilt that fits beautifully when adjusted to its limit, but the way a kilt pushes the belly sort of up and out gave my profile a distinct look, I'll leave it at that. So I adjusted and felt that I looked good. Then my wife had an opinion

So it starts today, a healthier diet, daily exercise and drinking more water. I have let my weight watchers membership expire and put back on 75% of the weight I had lost. (60 pounds two years ago)

My challenge: Lose 10% of your current body weight within 6 months.

For most men this is quite easy. If you weigh 230 pounds, it is only 23. I weigh 315, so it is "off with" 31.5.

Anyone with me? Yes, I know I may need to have kilts altered or swap them with other XMTS members, but it has to be worth being able to wear it without ever hearing my wife say "Hmmph, your tummy looks really big in that."


Ouch! Who's with me?
