Someone thought of doing a weight loss contest at work to see who can lose most percentage of their way from now until April 4th, when everyone will weigh back in. 16 people signed up, each of whom contributed $25 to the pot. That's $400 to the winner!
Most of the players are guys, and there may only be 2-3 ladies including myself who are participating. I think I have a good chance at winning for two reasons: 1) I'm on a program (Weight Watchers) that has me so motivated, and I won't slack off; and 2) I don't have extra responsibilities like kids who have to be driven in all different directions for sports, etc. I'm going to the gym for group classes at least twice a week, hopefully more often in the near future. I weighed in on Saturday and lost 1.8 pounds (!). If I can keep up this rate, I will lose about 9% of my body weight by April 4th.
Wish me luck!
