D-fat: Pastor's Weight Loss Challenge Update

Some of you know that Jared our worship/media pastor and myself entered a weight loss challenge with several church planters that we know. Well below is an update on how we've been doing. May 1st is the finish of the challenge so wish us luck!

By the way in October I had hit 270 pounds. That's crazy. So Since then I have lost 49 pounds. Too cool. Thanks for all your encouragement and for calling me a "fat pastor" every time I picked up a donut at church. OK you didn't call me names, but you could have. Thanks!

Starting weight: 2-22-08, Ross 240, Jared 234; Total 474

Week 1 weight: 2-29-08, Ross 234(-6), Jared 224.5(-9.5); Total 458.5(-15.5)

Week 2 weight: 3-7-08, Ross 226(-8), Jared 224(-.5); Total 450(-8.5)
