It's Not Really the Biggest Loser

  So last year Vesper's work had a "Biggest Loser" competition but they tweaked it.  Since none of the participants were morbidly obese or had serious health problems, they created a point system based on healthy habits and activities.  (If you really care to know the rules you may view them here.)  The participants keep track of their points (miles) on a spreadsheet and check in at the end of every week.  Well, it was such a smashing success everyone decided to go for a second go round.  I thought it would be fun to track Vesper and my progress as we go through the 12 week collabatition.  (You know...collaboration and competition)  We'll post individual results, as well as results in context.  So, look forward to a weekly post of charts and lists or, well, maybe nothing you remotely care about.

  Also, the thought just occured to me that if any of you out in the wilderness of the world wide web would care to join in on the fun, just email us.  The competition just started today and we could tack a day (or two) on the end of your spreadsheets (provided by the Biggest Loser, Not Really committee of Vesper) to make all things fair.  Don't be bashful, the more the merrier.  If you have any questions, just email us.
