Shannon and Tom start the Johnson Weight-Loss Challenge

oh right, it’s Christmas time. But at the Johnson house, it’s get ready to lose weight time. Dick and I have joined Auntie Liz, Uncle Sean, Grandpa David and Nana Marian in a weight-loss challenge. We have to lose 25 pounds between Christmas and Easter, or pay 100 to the winners (if either of us wins, he/she could win up to 500). Quite the incentive. Dick’s all excited about sparkpeople.com, the diet and motivation website recommended by Grandpa David.
