Dear Awesome Steemians, (but perhaps a little overweight and considering losing a few pounds),
Watching my son do a 'split-press-to-handstand' yesterday made me realise that at some stage over my past 39 years I had become a FAT BUGGER.

And the scales this morning backed up this theory...
A big 96.8 kilograms!
Some of you might understand this better as 213 pounds or 15.25 stone!!
Now this might be ok if you are 6'5" but I am about 5'10" or 178 cm - so to be healthy it is time for me to drop at least 10% of my body-weight - at least.
So I am setting myself a goal - I want to lose 12 kilograms (26 pounds) in 12 weeks - my target weight 85kgs
Now I can do this alone - but I am more likely to be successful attempting this goal with others.
The Challenge!
I challenge you to set a weight loss target for yourself and we seek to achieve our targets together!
If you would like to participate - we simply:
- Post your 12 week weight-loss target to tag 'weightlosschallenge'. Include current weight and perhaps scale picture.
- Once a week we post our new weights and your thoughts on how you are going - again tagged to 'weightlosschallenge'
- Share healthy meal ideas and exercise suggestions pictures etc - to 'weightlosschallenge'
- Check in on the 'weightlosschallenge' tag every couple of days to support one another.
I have no doubt that as a small group within this STEEMIT community we will meet our personal health goals. We will also meet a few new people, gain a few followers and earn plenty of STEEM together.
I understand that there are a number of fitness and health Steemians on the platform who might be able to drop us a few healthy hints and and tips from time to time.
Reply if you are interested and if we get enough I might start compiling our names and targets on a spreadsheet to track our performance.
United we can achieve anything.
