I am participating in a weight loss competition. Today is day 1 & we weigh in every Friday for 12 weeks. Unlike the show, we don't have a personal trainer (unless we choose to pay for one.) But we can use whatever method of weight loss, other than anything surgical.
My friend, Tib, started the first Biggest Loser almost a year ago & I was pregnant so I couldn't participate. And then she did another one that started in the summer... still couldn't participate. She had said she was considering doing one at the first of the year (which in my mind, meant for sure.) So I have been planning for months & anxiously awaiting the first of the year. In the past 2 competitions each contestant put in $20 & the winner took the pot.
As 2007 was ending I emailed Tib to see if there was going to be a Biggest Loser 3 & sure enough there was enough interest. This time we put in $25, & with 26 people competing, that puts the pot at $650!! I could really get myself started on a new wardrobe with that money!! So wish me luck!!

As a side note... you will only hear about this on Fridays, because that is weigh-in day & I want to keep track of my progress. I try to avoid talking about weight in front of Hannah, so you won't find me talking about it much on here either. I am doing this competition to get into better habits. My goal is to be the best example to my kids of exercise & healthy eating! So as much as I want the money, I just want to be happy & healthy!
