I AM the Biggest Loser!

About two months ago two Biggest Loser type challenges started at my office. 

One was company wide, and called the Team Lean Challenge.   Basically you weighed in as teams, and whichever team lost the largest percentage of weight won a Nintendo Wii (for each person).

The other challenge was within my department, and was an individual challenge.  You would weigh in each week, and if you lost no weight you had to pay a dollar, and if you gained weight you had a pay a dollar for each pound gained.  At the end whoever lost the most weight would get that money.

My “Team Lean” team consisted of me and two other co-workers.  As a team, we bombed.  I don’t know what our final total was, but I know the winning team was based out of one of our Washington DC offices, and they lost 9.8% of their initial weight.  WooT to them.

As for the departmental challenge?

Yeah, I kicked ass in that one.  Of my total weight lost so far, 19 pounds of that was during the challenge, making me the winner.  The prize had gotten up to $73.00.

WooT!!!!

What’s even better is that of that $73.00, I had only contributed two dollars, and those were weeks I didn’t lose anything (in blog time, thats Week 2 and Week 4).

So far this has been an awesome week, and its Christmas week, so that makes it 200% awesomer by default.  Is everyone ready for the holiday?  I have a sh*t ton of wrapping to do, but other than that I think I’m in good shape.

Have a great day!
