Wow … there’s a lot of youth workers hungry for some weight loss! Man, that’s a worse pun than I thought it would be …

When Marko (pictured left), the president of Youth Specialties originally started this challenge to motivate himself to lose some weight (read about it here), he was thinking a couple dozen might sign up … not close to three hundred youth workers! I guess that just shows how much of a hunger there is for weight loss advice and healthy living education in the youth ministry world! I’m excited about the twelve week challenge as well; there are going to be some great prizes for the winners, and I’ve got some guesses at just how much weight we’re going to see disappear over the next twelve weeks.

Marko,
Look at the bright side. It’s one more motivation to keep you on track. Good luck to you and to everyone participating. Regardless of whether people win or lose the contest, everyone who participates is a winner because we’ll all be healthier.
