Weight loss contest

Since Christmas is in the near future, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a weight loss contest. In order to be a contestant a little item of some sort would need to be sent here to be part of the prize. Everyone would be trusted to be truthful.

Let me know if you are at all interested.

I'm in!

I'm thinking. I think I would like to do it..... not sure. Maybe some more details would help. When would it start? how long would it run? One final weigh in or multiple weigh ins? Pictures?

I was thinking that each participant would donate an item for the prize. The contest would run for 9 weeks, from October 15 until December 17, with one weigh in half way on November 19.

Instead of using the actual pounds lost, we take the percentage lost from the total weight like they do on The Biggest Loser?

I am open to any and all suggestions totry and make this interesting and fun.

I will try to post my menus and exercise regime here. That should help a lot.

Come on folks lets get a little thinner for the holidays. This would be a big help at Thanksgiving also.

Ok, sounds interesting.......... intriguing. I think I'm going to sign up. Maybe if I have something..... I don't really want to say "forcing"...... but something I feel I'm locked into, or obligated to, I'll actually get somthing done. Alright........... you talked me into it.

I'm in!

Hmmmm......... now to think of somthing to donate........

I know that there are only three of us interested in this contest. Do you want to continue on with it or give it up. I'm willing to go on. I need this to help me get on the right track.

Soooo, are you with me??? We would have to weigh in tomorrow instead of today. Things have been a little crazy around here.

Any others are still welcome to join. The more the merrier. Come on! Let's get thinner.

Well, I'm still willing. I have to figure out how to weigh myself. My bathroom scale seems to tell me that I'm at a constant 195. I know that's not correct. I've been to the Dr. in between now and the last time I weighed myself on it. Their scale said 204 Ugh. I think my Wii fit will weigh me more accurately. I'll try that . But, I'm still in. How about you Leanna???

I got weighed when I went to the doctor on Friday. I weigh (drum roll please), 190. I have to get some of that fat off. Hopefully I'll feel better enough to be able to start doing some exercising.

I do wish some others would join in on our adventure to a thinner us.

Yeah, that would be nice if others would join in. I'm off to a HORRIBLE start! If anything, I've gone the wrong way! Rich bought 4 bags of Halloween candy....... hersheys and reeses peanut butter cups........AND WE NEVER GET TRICK OR TREATERS!!! So guess who's been eating the candy?? UGH! So, today I've started back to writing my food diary. I have brought a bunch of fruit to eat during the day at work. I have water to drink and I REALLY want to go home after work and get back on the treadmill. I was up to burning about 400 calories at a time on it, but I got on it the other day and it was all I could do to burn 200! Yikes! So, anyway..... I'm really going to try..... again.

Thanks for keeping this on here.

I haven't been able to do too much either. I have to write out the thank you cards and I still have the bronchitis. The Dr. gave me another script today. This had better knock it out of me. I am tired of being tired and achy.
I'll be able to start exercising once I feel better.

As for what I am eating it is horrible. Tomorrow is a new day, time to start anew.

Good luck Norene. Make Rich eat all of the candy!
