About me and why I moderate this contest

I didn't invent this challenge... I used ideas from other people. I have fine tuned the habits to be incorporated into any fitness level and phase of life... college students, pregnant women, working women, body builders, stay at home moms, grandmas... The level you take things to is up to you.

Every one of these habits is tried and true. Nothing weird, hokey or controversial. They are consistent with current understandings of body science.

I have been moderating this challenge for over 4 years and have won it 3 times.

I dont take a fee for moderating this contest. The only fee payed to anyone is minimal and goes to paypal combined with the entrance fee for making it easy to collect and transfer funds.

I moderate this challenge for motivation and accountability. I believe keeping a 'tool bag' of motivators to help me achieve and maintain my fitness goals. My genetics put me in a high risk category for heart disease... after losing a beloved brother at 44 and never knowing a set of grandparents, because they both died of heart attacks in their 50's I am offensively fighting heart disease with these habits. My children share my genetics and my risks and they learn lifestyle habits from me.

A jewel I have found through moderating this contest is when others are successful in reclaiming their health. It strokes the feel goods in my heart to know that I had something to do with helping someone else raise their sword and yell CHARGE in the fight against diseases related to lifestyle (which are many).

I moderate this contest for the goodness of my heart. No one makes a dime except for the winners! I like it this way. I plan to keep it this way. You have nothing to lose and much to gain.
