Papas, having a child is one of the best opportunities to make the changes in our lives that we have always talked about. An obvious area of our lives we often over look is our health. Our wives, girlfriends, mothers, even our kids see the need for change when we don’t. We must to do all we can to be the solid rocks our kids think we are.
With that said, I am officially issuing the 50 Million Pound Challenge for Papas. The Challenge was started by Dr. Ian Smith to provide a forum for people to track their weight loss, get information about healthy living, and be encouraged by collective progress. This is a great way to get fit for yourself, but not by yourself. There are now thousands of people who are tracking their progress for the group goal of 50 million pounds lost.
I have set up a team for Primo Papas to work together and lead the way to healthier living in our homes. Click the link below or on the right and join the team! Simply fill in your information, then your current weight and your goal weight. From there you can log on any time to record pounds lost. The site automatically charts your progress and ranks us as a team.
This is not a diet program, you are encouraged to find the HEALTHIEST and most convenient way for YOU to reach YOUR goal. By joining the team you will be challenged and encouraged. As we move forward I will be spotlighting standouts on the team. Look out for more fun stuff as we go!
Please read all disclaimers and consult with your doctor before starting any exercise program.

I wholeheartedly support your objectives. Unfortunately, I have suffered a knee injury and will be homebound for a couple of months. Any ideas?

Willard,
Consult will you doctor on all of this first. I imagine getting to a pool would be a good thing. There are flotation devices you can hold between your legs. This allows you to drag yourself through the water with your arms. Also when you get to this point, walking in the pool or look up aqua jogger equipment. Do what makes sense to work the upper body until you are more mobile.
Best of luck and look forward to seeing you in The Challenge.

I exept the challenge!!!! I am a 400lb father of three and a former college football player. I am trying to get my life back on track by getting back healthy. I am a educated young man that is currently working on his doctoralk degree, yet I am unable to find anyone who would ensure me so that i can have health insurance. I just heard about the 50 million pound challenge on the Steve Harvey show and I have now been working out and eating right for three weeks today and have lost 20lbs, so I am up for the challenge and thanks for the oppurtunity!
