Work Weight Loss Challenge

Ugh. I got suckered into doing one. They are doing the Seventeen Day Diet. I don't do diets because I think they are gimmicks. But I told them I would do my own thing and join. My goal was to be at my prePG weight by June 17 (my birthday). I have 17 effing pounds to lose.

The person who loses the most weight wins the pot of money. And I think this is so dumb because, most likely, the heaviest person will lose the most. Nevermind that I like to lift weights and I think a body with muscle is a sexy body.

We start on the 25th. So...until then I will be eating cookies.

  • If they were going to do it accurately, they should do it like the Biggest Loser which is based on percentage of weight lost.  Otherwise it's not really fair.  But good luck!   No one around here likes to participate in making healthy choices because the teachers here are lazy.

    Agreed! It'll be good just to use the contest as a motivation to knock off those last couple of pounds (although I thought you looked fabulous the last time I saw you!), and definitely enjoy the cookies until then!

    Sixth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    We're doing a 12 week weight loss challenge here that I'm doing.  Like Annie said, it's based on percentage lost which is fair.  You can win $250 for first, $150 for second, and $100 for third place which is cool, and the program with the biggest percentage lost wins a prize too.  It's a big agency so I doubt I'll win, but it's a nice little extra motivation, and maybe our program will win.  When we did our first weigh-in she didn't seem to know how to work the scale so I weighed in 5lbs more than my actual weight...normally this would be upsetting, but it meant I lost 5.5lbs by the second week, so I've got a good headstart :)

  • I'm in a work challenge as well, though I don't work often so I've been kind of bad about going for weigh ins Embarrassed They are doing it by percentage of loss at least, it's being run by employee health.
