| Biggest Loser Competition at Work Our Employee Health Department started a Biggest Loser competition here at work and it is going to last for 8 weeks. Those of us that entered gave them $25.00 apiece and the winner will take 1/2 of the pot. Second and third place will each get 1/4 of the pot. We weigh in every week and have to pay a dollar if we gain weight or don't show up to weigh. Well!!!!! Out of 50 people in this competition I was #7 after the first week. After the 2nd week I came in at (are you ready for this?) # 2! We weighed in again today and I have only lost 1/2 a pound so I bet my standing goes down. I will tell ya, I figured it out and the winner is going to get over $600.! I'm going to starve myself! Keep your fingers crossed for me! Your tubby friend, Lou |

| I'm going to do Atkins for the last three weeks simply because I need the money! LOL. After that I will probably do Weight Watchers. I did pretty well with the point system once upon a time. Hey, thanks for the encouragement you guys! I appreciate it and Verna.....what is the last date of your competition? I'll race ya to #1! |

Our last day is the last day of April. The men and women that are at the top in our group are ahead by a lot. I'm not sure I can catch up to them, but I will try!!! I was on a mission to lose weight before the competition started and had already lost 4 lbs. Right now, I seem to have hit my plateau, but I can add some extra work out time. I'm running/walking 2-4 miles about 4 to 5 times a week. I'm not on any kind of diet. I just eat what I want in small portions, but I'll try to eat better these last days of the competition.
