I of course signed right up. Me being a bit over weight and all.
There was a minimum entry fee of only $10, but with thirty people in, makes for a fabulous cash prize in the the end
The winner will be determined by who loses the largest percentage of weight between now and April 15. Hopefully, I weigh in before Emily's birthday cake. Or not, any leftovers might as well be on death row.
Some people have complicated yet sensible strategies, like keeping food diaries and working out. Which is way too complicated.
Others have opted for strategies like fasting or working out until their exhausted. Too drastic for me.
Me, I'm a simple girl, so easy is the best way to go. And I don't like to be uncomfortable. So starving and sweating really would be more than I want to take on right now. Originally, I thought of going back on the TrimSpa and energy drink diet. But, I can't buy TrimSpa at walmart. And if I have to buy it on the internet and wait (because we all know how patient I am), I'm going have to pass.
So plan is, and I do have one, to stop drinking pop. Not more gas station food. For me, that is like eliminating an entire food group. But it's for a good cause, cash.
As for fitness, I bought Appetite for Destruction for my iPod. It is the rockinest work out/running cd evar. For a little variety, I might buy Republica next. We'll see how this goes.
So far, I've lost eight pounds which is about 4% of my starting weight. (For you nonmathletes, I started at 159)
I'll keep everyone posted. If I win, I'm buying doughnuts for everyone.
