We have decided to do the 'big loser' competition at work. Kind of a rivalry between co-workers and a little incentive to lose a few pounds in the midst of the holiday season. It started on Nov 1st and runs through Dec 20th. There are some great prizes for the winner and a lot of fun stuff along the way. We had a fitness/protein shake demostration yesterday and another fitness guru coming in today to educate us on health and well being. Here are the current standings (as of Nov 8th):

As you can see, I have made it to the #9 spot. Much better than my fantasy football team ranking of dead last of 12 players.
I've lost 1% body weight in the first week. No bad for not trying. I won't tell anyone about the 2 mini snickers I had this weekend of the 2 bowls of cheese puffs I had on Monday night. After the weigh-in, I mentally decided to take up the challenge. If I win, I'm donating my 'winnings' to charity in some fashion or another. This will give me the extra push I need to lose the weight. Plus, it will be nice to slim down before more snow falls. It's going to be hard, as comfort food is nice to have when it's cold outside. I have some strong competition though. It's no biggie to win or lose. It's about finding yourself along the way.
Do I bake cookies for the office or do I bring in donuts every day? Just kidding fellow losers... or am I?
