Hey "dek6" I'm doing the same - playing along at home and seeing what i can accomplish (they speed up the process, i believe they show 6 months in 3) and I've started a "biggest loser" challenge at work, and 15 people signed up, not bad! No one gets voted out tho hehehehe.... it costs everyone $5 a week, for 12 weeks, and the person with the biggest percentage of weight loss will take home the kitty!!! some people paid all 12 weeks up front so they can't quit!! The winners (one man one woman) will split it, for $450 each not too shabby!
We organized walks, too! Not everyone (me included) likes getting sweaty midday, so we're going to walk right after work, as long as we have 2 people minimum.
Wish us luck
