How cool is thist? Basically people have 4 weeks to lose 4% of the weight and anyone who meets that goal splits the pot. Its done through an app and online and the company judges the photos you send in as your proof with you on a scale.

I would do something like that except that if I want to do something like lose a bunch of weight I wouldn't wantt to depend on other people. KWIM. I mean if there is a game to win I want to know I can win!

I'm currently in on a game with 19 people and the pot is $400. You dont really depend on other people since whoever loses 4% splits the pot so the chances are still in your hand. If you lose the weight you get to win but if there are more than 1 player that wins you just split the pot.

This sounds pretty cool...I may look into joining a team.  Too bad I'm stuffing my face with potato chips as I'm typing this!  My only reservation is that if I get pregnant I would have to quit...although for $30 it just be worth the risk!

It makes me a tiny bit nervous.  Is it hard to lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks?  Where does the money go if no-one wins?

I would think this depends on how much you weigh.  I calculated what it would be for me and I'd have to lose around 1.5-2 lbs per week, which is doable...if I could be completely dedicated...which is a whole other issue!

If nobody wins then everyone splits the pot, so everyone gets their money back. 4% for me is 5.8lb so I think its totally doable in 4 weeks. I'm horrible at losing weight so this is a huge motivator for me.

I was concerned about the getting pregnant again part too but since its only 4 weeks I'm not really worried about. Exercising and eating healthy which is what I'm planning on doing wont hurt me if I'm pregnant again. My biggest problem is portion control. I'm not a big snacker but I eat too large of portions. I also dont have much exercise now that its cold out and I dont take Annabelle out as much.

Oh, ok! I thought maybe the money went to the website or something and that sounded sketchy to me.
