Post Diet Contest

Thought i'd fill you all in on a fun way of losing weight. I work in a retail store which has 3 chains within in the city. Two people from each store (6 of us in total) have agreed to pitch in $50 each and have a weight loss contest ending December 24th.

It has been incredibly motivating and believe it or not it is actually fun. We use our partner from the store to exercise with, share low calories food ideas, and all the other weight loss stuff that arises. It has become very known within the staff of each store (we are all female) and they are all encouraging cause it is kinda become a "which store will win game." It has made us all really accountable and they have been really supportive.

On Xmas Eve, the winner will get the $300.00!! Just thought I'd share this game with everyone and if you have an opportunity to get people involved in the fun within your job, organization or church...I'd highly reccommend it! :-)

BTW-Monday was our first 2 week weigh in...I lost 8lbs and my buddy 5lbs!! YAHOO!

Does sound like lots of fun and what great motivation!! My husband's company did that a long time ago. What's funny is my husband's company makes industrial scales, lol. So it kind of fit in with their work theme. Congrats on the weightloss!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend and I at work are working on losing weight together. We are working on a 3 month deal. Whoever loses the most weight after 3 months has to do something nice for the other person.
