My husband and I have decided to join the Million Pound Match-up in hopes of reaching a dream...a healthy lifestyle. I (Crystal) have currently been a Weight Watchers member since July 2007, but need that extra boost of motivation to help me along the way. Together, Mike and I will support one another, critique one another, and push one another to meet our ultimate goal...to lose a combined total of 78 pounds!! Why should we win? Because we are doing this first for ourselves. In March of 2007 Crystal was diagnosed with MS and has been informed that weight and diet can play a role in the disease. Since Mike has started gaining weight, he has suffered from high blood pressure and possible sleep apnea. Second, we want to teach our two very young sons the importance of living a healthy life so that hopefully they don't struggle with weight issues the majority of their adult lives the way we have!
