No More Tomorrow Weight Loss Challenge
Most of us aren't completely happy with our bodies nor do we lead a perfectly healthy lifestyle. So here's a little bit of motivation to lose some weight and get healthy.
We've decided to play the same game that many have played before. It's our own biggest loser challenge. We would like to challenge any of our friends who want to lose weight to join us in this friendly little competition.
It will start on Monday, May 10, 2010 and go through August 10, 2010. Just in time for a gorgeous winter body! Here's the catch and the real motivation. In order to enter this challenge, you need to send in $15 by May May 31st. At the end of the competition, the one with the greatest percentage of weight loss will win earn the money. How great is that? The winner will definitely need some new clothes so let's call that the first outfit or two.
Right now we don't know how many competitors there will be so we’ll throw in this little disclaimer. If there are more than 10 we will split it up into 1,2, or maybe 3 winners. So spread the word and up the ante
Before it starts, we suggest taking a “before” picture. No one has to see it, but I'm sure everyone will want to see before and after pictures of the winner(s). Since we all are going to be working so hard, we will probably want to show off how far we've come. Measurements (tummy, arms, hips, and thighs) may also help keep you motivated if you see those getting smaller even though the scale isn't going down as quickly as you'd like.
We will stay connected with this blog. All participants have the login information so we can each post tips, stories, recipes, workouts or anything else we think might be helpful and encouraging to other participants.
On Monday, May 10th we will each weigh ourselves. At the end of the competition, August 10th we will weigh ourselves again. No cheating people. Each week we will post our running percentage of weight lost. For example, if you weigh 180 lbs and the first week you lose 1.2 lbs you take the weight you lost (1.2lbs) divide it by your starting weight (180) and multiply it by 100.
(weight lost/starting weight) x 100 = percentage of weight lost
(1.2/180) x 100 = .67
On week 2, take the total weight lost to get my running total. Say I lose 1.3 lbs during the second week. I then take 2.5, my total weight loss, and plug it in.
(2.5/180) x 100 = 1.38
It's that easy! You will never have to post your actual weight on the blog. You can even use a screen name if you would like. The winner will be the one who loses the greatest percentage of their starting weight and will get a check in the mail.
Now the hard part is losing the weight. That's why it will be so great to be doing it with a handful of other people. We are much more likely to stick to our goals when we have to be accountable. A weekly weigh in will keep us on track. Plus, we will be able to share things that work or get help when from a bunch of other people when we are stuck.
