For the Grandkids

On January 25th, Steve and four friends formed a team and started a weight loss challenge. Over the course of the next 12 weeks, whichever team loses the most weight wins $10,000! They are doing the challenge through Healthy Wage (which can be found here: http://www.healthywage.com/matchup-faq I still don't know how to do links when blogging from my phone. But hey! I can blog from my phone now!).
Their team name is "For the Grandkids," because they want to make healthy choices now, so they'll be around to play with their future grandchildren.
So for ten grand, and ten+ Grandkids, they embark on this journey together, encouraging and supporting one another, working out together, and holding each other accountable.
So far, Steve has lost about ten pounds! If they win first place, Steve'll have to use his share of the money to buy some new clothes ;)
If you're on Facebook, you can like their team and vote weekly for their team picture and name. You can find it on Steve's Facebook page, I believe.
Here is a picture of the team on day one. In April we'll have to post an after picture.
