Sounds like we have a fair number of folks interested in the Biggest Loser competition. So far these are the people I hear that will be actually competing: Tish and Steve Krause, Mandy & Dennis Reckward, Bobbie Broadwater, Travis Scanlan, Tasa, Scott and Megan Deden.
We would love to get more involved so be sure to pass it on to anyone I may have missed originally or if anyone is considering - please talk them into it. We are going to offer so much great information and encouragement to each other - I'm looking forward to it.
It sounds like many people would like to start the competion April 1st. Just checking to see if Friday April 1st would be a day that everyone could swing by my house to do the first 'weigh in'. Anytime during that day that you are avilable, stop by my house and we will do all the weigh ins on my Wii Fit and all the information will be confidential and I will be the only one to keep track of weights.
To go over rules again - for those competing - we charge $50 and put it in a 'pot'. At the end of the 3 month competition, we will give the Top 3 Biggest Losers the pot. The person losing the highest percentage of body weight will get 50% of the pot, the 2nd highest 30% and third will get 20%.
Below I have listed a number or websites that I have personally found helpful in finding out information on exercise, nutrition, calorie counting and cooking. Please start browsing through those if you haven't seen them already. Also, if you have some that you would like to share, let me know, I will get them posted!
I plan on writing a blog entry time to time of some of the great inspirational and motivating info that I have discovered along the way. I personally learned some extremely important information about our food industry, the way we digest food, and have found the balancing of carbs and counting of calories have been keys to success in the journey I have taken so far. I have really lost my motivation and am very excited to start this competition to get serious about this again!
So, comment to this blog to let me know if and when you might be able to weigh in on April 1st!
Let the games begin.
ReplyDeleteI think we should also include body measurements at our weigh in as well. Stepping on the scale and not seeing the number move up or down can be very frustrating....but if you can see it by the number on the tape measure - that might be more encouraging!
