Introduction

Hello world! This blog will be dedicated to our fellow working, normal and frustrated "chubby buddies" of the world. You may be asking who we are and what the eff we are doing here.

First things first, hello. We are four normal 20-something women. We are like many of you out there...college educated, funny, independent, adventurous, truthful and, for lack of a better term, overweight. This past week, after a phone call between Mer & Jenn, we took it upon ourselves to come together in sisterhood and to lay it all out on the table, clear as day. We are tired of our battle of the bulge(s).

Tomorrow starts the day of a journey. A marathon that will consume 12 weeks (yes, the WHOLE summer) of our lives. We've pledged to dedicate ourselves to a healthier and doable lifestyle. None of this quick cleanse, turbo charged protein shake or starvation diet BS. Because, it's not realistic. We are making a commitment to a change in our habits. Breaking the food cycle but replacing it with an active element.

Our plan over the next 12 weeks will include a weekly weigh-in, team motivation, daily pep talks and blogging along the way. Our goal is to lose 10% of our weight over this period but with a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

On August 16, 2010, we all will meet and have our final weigh-in. Join in on the cause if you feel the need. All fatties welcome. This is a safe place....however, check the Oreos at the door.
