Biggest Loser at work!
This is a fun thing someone at my work started whihc is meant to be exactly like the show except the weigh-ins are confidential not broadcast, and the goal is % of your body fat or weight (?). I am joining as an extra incentive. If you dont lose or lose the least you have to anty $5 to the pot.
Cool right?
Fri. Jan 6, 4:45pm
Fun! Just another way to stay motivated! I hope you are the biggest loser!

Hi!! Our work is doing it too. But it is a factory, and the rec center is actually where everything is done, so we don't have to pay, but there are prizes at the end. The money thing sounds great. Kind of like a paying it so might as well do it, especially cuz if ya miss you gotta pay more. I'll have to give that a thought.

We did this in my office, 'cept it was just a $20 buy-in, with one initial weigh-in, and another final weigh-in 3 months later, and the person who lost the highest percentage won the whole pot, so it was a bit simpler. This was done for several quarters in a row.
However, one guy managed to totally throw it by drinking a ton of water before the first weigh-in, and jogging in sweats in the summer for like an hour before the final weigh-in. So, it can have flaws!

weight loss competition websites
The best website I've seen for biggest loser-type weight loss competitions is
http://www.corporatefitnessleague.com/index.cfm
mainly because its free and its so easy to set up a competition. You can actually challenge other offices if you're doing your weight loss competition at work. The site is brand new.

Need an opinion...
A few people at my work are doing this contest with a few people from the office next to us. The pot is at $500, and I would love to win! It is for 3 months only, first weigh-in was 01/07 and when I stepped on that scale, I realized that, money or not, I had to make a change! So I've been dieting and exercising quite strictly. I am noticing the changes, without seeing the scale move very much, so it's obvious that I am gaining some muscle, which in this case is bad, becuase we are only measuring the progress by the scale.
So... do I stick to mainly cardio for the next couple months, and try to lose the fat first, and then after the final weigh-in start the strength training? Or just continue with my circuit training and hope for the best?

Continue with what you're doing! More muscle will only help you burn that layer of fat more quickly. The scale will catch up.
In the last week or 10 days before your final weigh in you could always eat super clean with very little sodium to shed any water weight!

For various reasons, it's not uncommon to weigh more following strength training. I can weight 3lbs more after a really tough workout, but that 'weight' is only temporary. So, consider that the number on the scale right now might not even be a matter of 'more muscle' - just your body adjusting to all that's going on. Keep doing what you're doing - there's no need to wait to do strength training - you'll maximize your results by keeping it in.
Good luck! That's an awesome jackpot!

Yeah we're doing a biggest loser competition and we found a sweet do it yourself contest site that handles all the details of running the competition. You still get to choose how you want to structure the competition, but it takes most of the stress out of running the actual competition.
