{Weigh In Wednesday} Battle of the Spouses: Starting Fitness Test

Well, today's the day. It's time to take our starting fitness test as we begin our Biggest Loser Challenge. We want to look our best when we hit the beaches of the Dominican Republic in May!

I still cannot believe  that I am about to post my weight and body measurements on the blog for the entire world to see. I must be crazy. But I figured that by doing so I could 

1.) gain support from family, friends, and faithful blog followers

2.) get weight loss tips and advice from readers who have walked this road before

3.) provide encouragement for anyone else out there who is seeking to lose weight the healthy way

4.) have accountability. Knowing that people will see my stats each week is definitely motivation to keep working!

So... enough stalling.
