Weight, it's almost bathing suit season!!??

The competition is on!

3 of the 4 CHG (Cherry House Girls), who shall remain anonymous for no other reason but that it sounded good, have taken a good hard look in the mirror and have to get a few things under control!  Who have we been kidding?  For months we have been burying ourselves in puffy jackets that hide back fat and furry boats that cover our kankles.  But seriously, it is the fourth day of spring in Texas and the shorts won't hide this cellulite so it is time to get serious!

We were having one of our many intelligible conversations today in the living room about our weight issues and decided to all attempt to get into shape.  We concluded that the best approach is through a competition to see who can lose the most weight (%) in a certain amount of time.

How it all works...

Today we each measured our weight, body fat %, and body h2o %.  We wrote the numbers on a neon colored post-it note as well as the date and time.  In two weeks from today we will have our first weigh-in wearing the same clothes at the same time of the day.  Each girl will put $5 into a jar and whoever has lost the most weight % at that time will get the $15 to spend how they please.  But that's not all!  In four weeks from today we will do a second and final weigh-in, and whoever has lost the most weight % at that time will get $15 from each of the other two girls and can treat herself to a mani & pedi!
We will calculate our weight loss percentage here for accuracy!

Now, if you know anything about us at all, you will know that we are not your typical "mean girls" ... aka ... we lika the foodsa.  And I mean, we really can throw down!  We all enjoy cooking, and most of all snacking!  So needless to say, this isn't going to be easy.  There will be a lot of judging, tears of pain, growling stomachs, and bitching.  Some of us have even already expressed their strategies for using reverse psychology on the others ... even though that certain someone later went on to eat fajita nachos for dinner!  But that is neither here nor there.  One technique that we all plan to acquire is the use of a juice machine!  Our dear friend, Jeff (from the Green Market), shared with us his secret to losing love-handles -- fresh squeezed carrot juice.  But that is the only secret we are sharing amongst ourselves.  After all, it is a competition!

Later to come... posts of the winner for each challenge and before and after pics!
