On the other hand (and I still think number one is true) he was in the company of some other powerful leaders. I was just reading up on him for an example I wanted to use in another article.

Was Nelson Mandela the average of his fellow prisoners? Was Christ the average of his apostles? Okay, I'm being extreme about these examples. I also get the point about influence. It is well made.

Of course, the most important part is starting. As far as walking goes, I recommend starting with the "10 House Challenge" http://www.myweightloss.cc/2008/04/30/take-the-10-house-weight-loss-challenge/. My wife and I started last week and have only missed a day. I think I am down at least a pound too. Great advice. Of course, the most important part is starting.

For me it's sleeping together that has worked the best. If left to me, I would stay awake till my eyes start dropping. This means sleeping at odd hours or not sleeping at all. Following my husband's waking and sleeping timing has made a great deal of difference. Not only because I get good sleep. But also because it means lesser number of tv hours, late night snacking etc etc. Great points Alex. For me it’s sleeping together that has worked the best.

You could place a wager on who will go the longest without eating junk food, or the most days in a row exercising, or another healthy goal.
