Dear {{Friend, Pal, Buddy, Comrade}}; 

Have you been feeling it too?  You know what I’m talking about, the crunch of too many hours in front of a {{computer screen, T.V., Window, refrigerator, junk food stand}}, too many last minute, dive-thru meals?  My weight is up, my energy is down, and I’m sure my cholesterol is through the roof. It’s taking a toll on me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.  It’s time for us to {{get back into shape, lose weight, get healthy}} and take control of our lives, one pound at a time.

But I’m not talking about some starvation, packaged-meal program where we have to eat like birds.  I’m talking about a friendly challenge for cash: we put {{textfield:$75}} in the pot, we go for {{textfield:16}} weeks, and the one who’s {{lost the most weight, lost the highest % of body weight}} at the end walks away with nice chunk of change. 

Just follow the link below to enter this competition.  I have a feeling this will be {{just what we need, awesome, just what the doctor ordered, very helpful, so fun}}.

Sincerly,
{$user->firstName}
