For the last 12 weeks, myself a group of my coworkers have been participating in a biggest loser contest. It's something I've done with different groups at different branches, and it really helps me get a jumpstart on my personal goals. The first time we had the contest, I lost around 35 pounds.
The winner, Michelle, lost a total of 9% of her body weight! She won the contest by far, and looks amazing! All in all, our group lost about 50 pounds. Not too shabby (or should I say flabby?) ;)
The best part about all of this is they want to keep going! Even after 12 weeks, we've all agreed to keep holding our weekly motivational meetings and weigh-ins. I love when we all work together for one common goal :)
I challenged the group to lose 10% of their starting weight, a lofty goal, for sure, but one that will prove beneficial for ALL of us. I have about 7% more to go.
Thank you all for your kind words and picking me up when I was down. I know I'm not a failure at all, I just need to keep my spirits high. Writing helps me accomplish that :)

You're doing great! I'm so glad your work is deciding to keep it going!
If you need any motivation, I'm really working on losing weight too, and I need a workout partner when I don't want to go to the gym!
Way to go!
Keep it up!
You can do it!
(That's me, being a cheerleader for you)
