so you have a challenge with a coworker? totally cool!
i think it's always great when the challenge is with someone you actually physically interact with on a daily/regular basis....it makes things that much more competitive and makes you want to work harder.
a few weeks before i joined the WLforum i found a long lost acquaintance who also weighs about the same as me and we agreed we'd start on the weight loss journey since we could like join a gym together and push each other on. But the girl went AWOL on my a$$ even before we started...it turns out she was all talk and no action. i mean, i totally understand if she wasn't ready, but at least she could have let me know instead of just leaving me hanging. But it didn't matter anyway because i knew my time had come to do something about it all, so started on my own, which was tough...then i found the WLforum which was just heaven sent and at the right time. it's comforting to know that we're all working towards the same goal you know?
anyway, i'll keep checking in to see who's kicking who's a$$ in the mano-a-mano contest...lol! go team mike!
