It's a challenge, not a contest!

May 20, 2011 - Several of us at work decided to weigh in and begin a weight loss challenge @ work. It started off with just 2 of us, by the end of the day, the entire staff of 10 had joined the challenge. As more joined, the $$ pot grew larger :)

1. Everyone set an attainable & reasonable goal that could be reached within 14 weeks.
2. We will be paying $5 per week.
3. We will be weighing in every Friday. (Thank God we are not weighing in on Mondays, those are BAD days to weight in, VERY BAD! lol)
4. IF we gain weight, from the previous week, we will have to pay an additional $5 for the week!
5. This is so exciting! Weight loss goals range from 7 lbs to 20 pounds!

If no one gains weight, the ending pot will be $700!!! But of course, if we gain, the pot will be larger. Then again, there could be several winners. Anyone who reaches or goes under their goal, will be a WINNER!! At which point, we will split the pot.

I would love to by myself some "Miss Me Jeans." (Of course, only if they will look good with my boots) If not, i spotted some blinged out jeans @ Cavender's also :)

1st week of weighs went great!! WE ALL LOST WEIGHT! Ok, so let me brag, i lost the most!! We'll see how this all turns out. I'll keep ya posted!! Good luck to us all!!

I can't wait to post pics on August 26, the last weigh in date :)
