My work is hosting a weight loss contest and yours truly has decided to join. Here’s how it works. The contest starts 12/1/08 and ends 06/05/08. There are two ways to enter.
- Pay $50 to enter. You win the contest by losing the most body fat. If you don’t win, you forfeit your entry fee.
- Pay based on how much fat you commit to losing. If you don’t win but meet your goal, you get your entry fee back. If you don’t win and don’t meet your goal, you forfeit your entry fee. The more you commit to losing, the smaller your entry fee. In my case, I want to lose at least 25% body fat. I put in $75.
Here’s how body fat lost is calculated:
((Current Weight)*(Current Body Fat%))-((Future Weight)*(Future Body Fat%)) divided by ((Current Weight)*(Current Body Fat%))
Today i weighed myself. HOW DID I GAIN ALL THIS WEIGHT. I’m a freakin’ “Lifetime” member of Weight Watchers and I managed REGAINED all my lost weight and then some in THREE YEARS!!! Food looked really good… and exercise looked really bad. Nate measured my body and took pics. He kept telling me to stand straight b/c my boobs looked lopsided. Yeah, I was standing straight!!! I think it’s my tank top… or the big boobs holding my tank top.
Okay so here’s the plan. My goal is to weigh myself, tape myself, and take pics every week. I’m going to work out 1 hour each weekday morning – upping it from half an hour. I’m also switching to the Weight Watchers CORE plan. I’m not going to be super stringent but just following it moderately. I figure anything is better than what I’ve done so far. There are 26 people who are playing and there’s a potential to win $1000 and go back to being a healthy.
