Last summer I participated in a "Biggest Loser" weight loss competition organized by my friend, Kristen. This was very motivating for me (maybe because I had to email Kristen my weight every week) and I lost about 15 pounds. I've gotten very lazy this winter and have gained around 10 pounds back.
I'm thinking about organizing another Biggest Loser competition. If you are interested in joining me, let me know!
The competition starts this Saturday, June 21st. All participants will email me their beginning weight. The competition will run for 12 weeks. The final weigh-in will be on Saturday, September September 13th. Whoever loses the most weight (by percentage of weight lost, not by pounds) will be crowned The Biggest Loser!
Here is how it will work...
1. You will email me your weight every Saturday. (And I promise not to laugh) In fact, I will tell you my weight too if it makes you feel better.
2. I will start a new Biggest Loser Blog and will post every body's weekly progress. (I will again post percentage of weight lost, not your actual weight). I will also give all of the participants posting rights. This will be a great chance for us to give each other support, ideas, and share our successes and failures.
3. To make it more interesting (and motivating) we could even do a friendly wager. Of course, you will all lose your money to me because I'm determined to win.
Let me know by Saturday if you want to join in. Also, let me know if you want to lose all of your money to me in a side bet.
I think I'll go and eat some ice-cream now. I've got to make sure my weight is nice and high for the beginning weigh-in, right?
See you on the scales!

Im in! Its so funny that this is coming right now. I was just talking to Bryant yesterday about trying to get my motivation from last summer back. Email me more details and let me know the blog.
The friendly wager better be good btw. I am thinking like $100 a piece what were your thoughts?
come on! If you want to do it, then do it! I don't care how much you weigh. I'll tell you mine!
Can you weigh the winner in late September? I'll have lost about 30 pounds by then and I want to win. I need the money. :P
How much are scales? We don't own one.
I'm interested, but not really in the money thing. Could I participate without the cash? I need to lose about 7 pounds, so I don't think I could necessarily win but I could definitely use some help with motivation. If that isn't fair, just tell me no because my feelings won't be hurt. Right now my girls and I have sticker charts for our individual goals and that's helping too. Fun idea!
Jeni- you are totally in and you don't need to do the money part. It's just going to be a fun side bet. Email me your weight sometime today at heybeans@verizon.net.
