In The Beginning

We all have to start somewhere, right?

At this point, I'm looking for a roll call of sorts. A showing of hands for all who are ready to take the challenge and join Operation Gettin' Less Jiggly With It (OGLJWI).

And I'm looking for opinions. Do we post starting weight or are people just not quite comfortable enough to share that information with the world? Do we track pounds lost, pants sizes dropped, percentage of weight loss? Are we looking to add a little extra incentive to this operation in the form of a prize? Before and after pictures? Give me your thoughts.

What I also envision is, for those who are willing, having each of you added on as co-contributors to this blog. This would give you access to posting and would allow for narratives from all of us to document our highs and lows along the way, sort of like a collaborative on-line journal. For those who aren't comfortable doing this yourself you can always email me a submission and I would be happy to post it for you. I know that I definitely want to do to a little "spotlight" on each participant where I'll ask you to lay out your personal goals and let the rest of us in on what you're plan of action is much like I did earlier. In addition to that I thought we could add little features or nuggets of information we might find along the way - websites that are helpful, healthy recipes to share, fun ways to get moving and burn calories, etc.

So, who's in?
