It is getting tough - winter is dragging on, you are trying to eat right and workout, but you don't see the results you want.
The bottom line is you can't waste any more time, can't use any more excuses or wait for next week. Everyone has it in them to keep going and get over the hump.
When I am out for a run, coming off a machine in the gym soaked with sweat, or talking with people about how we eat, I often notice people that have a sense of wonder. My point is not made in arrogance, it is made due to the realization that there are people in the world that want to change, or do better for themselves, and just don't know how.
This is the point of RFC. We are are changing our lives - one meal at a time, one workout at a time.
This is the time to evaluate what is working for you. Are you getting enough exercise? Are you eating the right amount of calories (remember: it is important to hit the mark, and not to hold back)? Do you need to make some adjustments.
We are here for you if you need help. Keep up the great work and keep pushing forward.

Documentation
We have been thinking about this a bit and think it would be a great idea for everyone to track their progress in ways other than the point system associated with The Contest.
We'd like everyone to take a full body photo (in shorts and a t-shirt) and send it along to J.C. (jcwhip@gmail.com). We can do this again at the mid-way point and yet again at the finale.
Also, Molly and I have some ideas on how to document this entire process (to be revealed another time) and we'd like everyone to consider keeping a journal of their experience. It doesn't have to be a novel - just quick snippets of your excitement, fears, wins, losses - whatever you are feeling. Also, keep track of any meds you are on, your BP (if you know it), resting pulse, etc. We are confident that people are going to see some fantastic changes in these area.
If you want, keep a running journal in Microsoft Word (or other software). Keep things associated to dates or the number of the week in The Contest. At the end we'll ask you to pass it along and we can sift through things a little easier.
We'd love to have everyone keep a journal, but we know time may be an issue. Ultimately what we're looking for is a cross representation of our group - age, new mothers, current athletes, athletes that never were, etc.
