Late December 2009 we (Michael & Jessica Owen) realized that we were not going to be able to "wish" the weight away.
Michael was 245 lbs and 5'8".
Jessica was 213 lbs and 5'1".
We were both on a path of destruction eating calories like crazy and doing little to no exercise.
We needed someone to help hold us accountable because we could no longer be trusted to do it ourselves.
Then we saw an advertisement for "The Bakersfield Loser" contest. It was set to start January 1st and run 90 days. The GRAND Prize was $15k in cash and many would WIN consolation prize of a better and healthier body.
We talked about joining the contest as we pulled through a drive-thru window to order cheeseburgers and fries.
Michael had been a High School Wrestler many year back and was certain shedding pounds was still in his blood.
Jessica just wanted to get healthy and if $15k fell in the lap of her family -- well, why not!
