Game on

Monday a group of us at work started the "Biggest Loser" competition. We all chip in $20 and will go until the end of January. From there we decide if we do another round.

Day two and there is already much confusion. I mean, really, how would you expect to participate in this challenge? Weigh in once a week, calculate the percentage of loss, at the end of January the greatest percentage would win.

Emails were flying this afternoon:
"I thought we weren't going to weigh in again until the end". Where's the challenge in that?? How will you keep motivated??
"Who's going to figure out the percentage"? Gah!
"We have to figure out the rules". It isn't that complicated. You lose weight.
"I don't have much money". This I understand but...

I would love to have everyone put in their $20 and then, each week the person who comes in losing the least ("under the yellow line") would put in another $10. There is potential to win nearly $200 for the biggest loser.

Meanwhile one of the guys was eating candy and cashews in the break room, one of the girls goes out drinking regularly and another is one who isn't greatly motivated. This leaves competition really between myself and another girl.

Game on!
