My employer had a Biggest-Loser contest starting September 1 and ending October 31st. Whoever lost the highest percentage of body weight over that time got $100. Well, I have let myself get too far out of shape and this was a good way to get myself motivated to do something about it.
As of the end of the contest I ahd lost 22lbs. While I was disappointed I DID NOT win, I just received the 2nd place prize...a $75.00 gift certificate to Woodcraft! Yeah! BTW the woman who won lost 15 lbs. and only weighted 117 when we started. For me to beat her I would have to extend the contest 2 months on the theory that she could lose much more, or have a major industiral accident and lose a limb. I'll take the second place prize instead.
I am continuing and hope to reach my goal weight by mid-summer. I'll post a picture of what I buy with my winnings.:-D
