This website is the genesis of several discussions with members of our family over the past several weeks (and years to be honest). Patty came up with the idea of holding a family contest to eat better, work out and track progress. Many agreed to get in on the fun and we were off an running.
This blog will be the hub of RFC - a place where we can post workouts and recipes. As we go along, we'll add features such as pictures and video for sample workouts. We also will have the Recipe of the Week, which everyone will be encouraged (and rewarded) for trying.
You will notice on the right panel of the site that there is a section for RFC Facts (we'll change these often) and links to suggested sites - right now we have Body for Life, Cooking Lite (Recipes) Clean Eating and Kashi (more on these in the Eating / Recipe entry to come later).
It is important to share our successes (the few failures) and ideas. Erin and I will serve as moderators - guiding the weekly workouts, recipes and tracking everyone's progress.
We want to be very clear that this is a group effort. Every person is going to find new ideas, workouts or plans they are excited about or something that works for them - we expect you to share them. If something is not working, we expect you to share that too. This has to be all inclusive - we're all in this together.
With that said, let's get on the contest!

Everyone needs to have a before picture as some of us will be losing weight and want to show how much better we look.
Agreed! I feel that if you're not comfortable going shirtless, that any picture that shows your body shape and does not depict you with baggy clothes will work! I'm getting out my camera now!
Maybe we should have a terrible pic so we look even better in June!
