I am living with PCOS. Which, let's be honest here, sucks. It makes me look like I have an extra-large basketball shoved under my shirt and there's little I can do to ditch it. So, here's my plan. Because even the best in the business need a plan.
I'm going to issue the Pound for Pound challenge. Yeah, it's British and I stole it. So typically American of me. ;)
The goal is for friends/family/complete strangers with disposable income/etc to pledge to donate 1GBP to me for every 1lb I lose. While it is a tempting offer to say that I'll take all the money you are willing to throw at me, I'll add that I want to have the weight stay off for a minimum of a month before you have to pony up any cash. (Barring things like pregnancy weight or other conditions that realistically cannot be controlled.)
Start date: Monday, August 25, 2014.
I am setting the first contribution marker at December 1, 2014. Which means that any weight I have lost - and KEPT OFF - by November 1, 2014 will be counted. The second marker will be August 1, 2015. And, I hope, there will be one final marker on February 1, 2016.
I'm not losing weight because I want to be skinny. I'm losing weight because I want to be healthier for myself and for those I love. And maybe because I'm tired of the only things that fit me at the clothing stores in the mall being earrings...and my ears aren't pierced.
Here's a link to the donation page if you're down for a challenge or just want to let me know you were here.
