As friends for the past 8 or so years, we have the common goal of losing weight and becoming more fit. We are joining this contest as motivation. If we have to blog, take pictures, and show proven evidence, then we might as well get ourselves to the gym! With exciting trips coming up for both of us (Denise to Jamaica for her honeymoon and Jenny to NYC for a vacation), we’d like to be able to show off our new bodies and new attitudes. We have both been working out the last couple of months and have been a great support system for the other. We attend cardio classes together, trade recipe secrets, and encourage each other to do our best. We believe that we should win because we are dedicated to improving our overall health. It’s not just about losing weight…it’s a total body and soul makeover!
