I wanted to share what 2 of my friends and I are doing. I came up with this idea because it has been over 2 years and the baby weight is still on. I can't give the time to Weight Watchers and didn't really like the idea of giving them my money either. So... my friends and I since we all go to church together, weigh in each Sunday before Sunday School. We each have an envelope with our name on it and one envelope says "Camp Calvary" our church camp.

Each week, if we lose weight - we put $10 in our envelope. If we gain weight, our $10 goes to camp. (One of our banker friends holds on to our envelopes.) We started the beginning of February and are going to the end of May. If we actually lose weight each week, we'll have $170 to blow on a Girls/Scrapbooking Weekend in Gatlinburg, TN. If we don't lose, we may just be sending several kids to camp. Although - we all agree we like the idea that our money is going to charity.

I thought I'd share with you all.... so far, I've got $30 in my envelope. Although, I've cheated lots this week - so I may be contributing to camp!
