Thanks for playing

Well, with the Mayors' Challenge over it looks like this will be my last post, unless there's a huge public outcry for me to keep posting to the blog.

Thanks for all your comments, questions and support. They were very much appreciated and it was nice to know there were others out there who could relate.

I'll monitor the blog for commments and see if we get any conversations going in the next couple of weeks.

After that, you can hopefully find me at the salad bar or at the gym! Or you can send e-mail here: adominello@news-record.com

Thanks!

I Demand a Recount!

Like I said last week, I've got a healthier attitude these days.

And that seems to have taken root. I just weighed myself and I've lost eight pounds.

But I still can't believe the mayors did better than me!

Final Mayors' Challenge Update

From the organizers:

Congratulations to the Guilford County Mayors who lost a total of 100.2 pounds! Of the 751 on-line participants, 151 reported a total weight loss of 1454.8 pounds! If you forgot to report your total pounds lost, you can still do so. Send an email to mayorschallenge@ymcagreensboro.org and report your weight lost.

Sorry, guys. The story on the mayors never made it to the News & Record site on Saturday.

But here are the mayors in all their svelte glory.
