Here we are! Almost to April! We are officially through the first quarter of the year! Can you believe how fast time goes? By now, all New Year's resolutions have long been forgotten and if you are anything like me, you need new motivation. So, now that they weather is finally getting nice it is the perfect time to start fresh! My good friend organized a weight loss challenge that ended last week and I successfully lost 21.7 lbs in 10 weeks. I need all the incentive I can get and I really like my $$$ so I wanted to work really hard to not have to pay if I gained weight. Here's how it works:
The buy in is $10.00. We will have to record our weight every Sunday for the duration of the challenge. If you lose at least 0.6 lbs, nothing happens. If you lose 0.5 lbs - or gain up to 0.5 lbs, you have to pay $5.00. If you gain 0.6 lbs or more, you owe $10.00. All money goes into the pot and at the end of the challenge, the winner gets 70% of all money collected, second place gets 20% and third place gets 10%. To make it most fair for everyone, we will be counting percent loss, not just lbs lost.
Anyone is welcome to join our challenge, but we really are hoping that people will take things seriously and be honest. We will have a link to a spreadsheet on this blog and every Sunday, you will be responsible for updating you weight. If you do gain, you will need to make sure I have the money before the next weigh in or you will be disqualified. I know life is busy but I do not want to chase everyone down and babysit.
The plan is to begin Sunday, April 1st. I know this is not a lot of notice but there is no time like now! We will be going for 8 weeks so our final weight in will be June 3rd.
I am so excited to continue! I need this extra motivation to keep on track! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
LET'S LOSE IT!
