This week we were measured and the numbers put in a formula to calculate our body fat. Most of us were close to the Normal range, but mine was high(48) I've started going back to the gym. I'd like to lose at least 100 lbs before the contest is over, only 41 lbs to go! Then I'll continue until I get down closer to my ideal weight(according to the formula) of 175 or so. It's been 24 years since I was below 200 lbs
I'm looking forward to this weeks meeting and seeing the contestants from last year. See everyone weds.

Hello John and LeAnn
Hello John and LeAnn Spence,
As I read about the weight loss challenge, your contest names, "Coca Cola Addicts" caught my attention.
I attended a convention a couple of months ago where Dr. Ann de Wees Allen was a guest speaker. (You can google her name and find a lot of data about her.) During her presentation, she mentioned that drinking a Coke or other soft drink is the quivalent of eating a bowl full of sugar in the way the body translates that to adipose fat. Then she said that drinking a diet Coke or other diet drink is the same as eating 5 or 6 bowls of sugar. I hope that you will stay away from the diet drinks.
If you want to know more, I have a CD download of a radio interview with Dr. Allen. I'll be happy to send you a copy. You can call me at 760-964-1273 or email me at andy_cipich@msn.com.
Good luck in your weight loss endeavors.
Andy Cipich
