Okay, I'm in...who else is in on this crazy mess? Let's here your goals? Mine is to get back down to roughly 12% body fat -- Lord knows I have 12% now just in one leg and butt cheek!!!!! I'm assuming that means I'll need to lose between 20 and 25lbs but we'll see what comes about.

Man I love food ...whose idea was this anyways!!!! I think I'll start a "memorial blog" to the sweet, savory, and tart foods that I'll so adamently miss during this campaign. Cookies and cobbler...you will not be forgotten, and will forever hold a special place in my heart -- albeit in the form of plaque in my arteries.

As in classic "Cook fashion," I will be the first to begin the "trash talk." Someone fill me in on what our dearest friend, Dr. Kent McBride has to lose, he's by far the fittest among us -- ah yes...the correct answer would be his hair. - Oh snap! ...and so it begins. (Pat...that was for you Brother!)

Until the next fat-update...
