Well, We are fat and trying to lose weight. We have been friends for about 5 years and roommates for a year and half. We live with Brad (Bethany's boyfriend of 6+ years) and the animals. Golden Retriever - Oscar, Siberian Husky - Scout, Siberian Husky we are fostering - Mr. Bones, and James' cat Neo. We've both been struggling with our weight since before we met one another. To be totally honest neither of us really watched the Biggest Loser. The other day while both suffering from WRETCHED colds we watched a season two marathon. We were hooked! We recorded the Couples premier, watched it tonight, and immediately decided we needed to do this challenge. We weighed in (as painful as it was) and were off. We want to just let everyone the might read our blog or watch our videos know, we are blunt. We are fat and we say so. We want to wish everyone good luck. We doubt anyone will find this challenge easy, but we're all in it together. Here's to a thinner, healthier year.
