The 75-Day Challenge | More Than Dodgeball

Josh GriffinMore Posts The 75-Day Challenge

Over dinner tonight with a couple of HSM summer interns and a key volunteer it was decided we would all do a 75-day challenge to focus on eating right, exercise and sleep.

We’re going to track our progress until August 1st, where the person who loses the most weight (calculated as percentage of total body weight) wins everyone’s combined entry fee to the competition. I’m hoping to add to my Segway fund with the winnings – it all starts tomorrow!

So with the winning money for losing the most weight, you want to purchase a Segway to enable you to walk less? Seems a bit counter-productive to me……:)

Good luck though, I believe in you!

This works great on a small scale with people you know well, but can be disastrous on the large scale.

My experience is that cash prizes can bring to light some serious character flaws. People lie about their weight loss or other people accuse them of lying. Not so much fun.

I applaud you though for committing to live healthier. My wife and I started a 6 week committment together this morning. Maybe we will all be thin the next time we meet at a confrence or ministry event.

Excellent! I lost a ton of weight a few years ago and have kept it off by eating right and exercising regularly. Changed my life and ministry for the better. It really helps to do it with others who hold you accountable and encourage you. 75 days? No. You’ll do it for a lifetime!
