We Start Weigh Down at work Monday

I am sooooooooooooo excited. I sooooooooooo need something to motivate me. Me and a friend of mine at work talked about it and mentioned to just a couple of people and low and behold we have 18 ready to start Monday. This should be fun. lol lol Here are the rules we came up with. We tried to keep it inexpensive so people would be interested but enough so the pot would be nice! Also thought it was better to do bigges precentage of weight loss instead of who lost the most lbs that way is much fairer. Wish me luck. Goodness knows I need it. lol lol WEIGH DOWN Joining Fee $5 per person Other Fees $1 per every lb you gain 50 cents per half lbs 25 cents for staying the same 50 cents for missing a weigh in Rules Weigh in is at 9:00 a.m. every Monday. If you miss weigh In on Monday you will have to pay the miss fee plus any Other fees that apply. You can weigh in any time on Monday without having to pay the miss fee. Only if you Miss the entire day on Monday do you have to pay a miss Fee. You can even weigh on Tuesday if you like BUT you Will still have to pay the miss fee and any other fees that Apply. NO ONE will EVER see your weigh! We will have cards With our names on it that each person will be responsible For keeping up with. Tara will write our weigh on the card Then give them back to you. She then will record on a Separate sheet of paper the + or - of your weight next to Your name. Again....it is YOUR responsibility to keep up With your card that has your name and weight on it. At the end of three months Tara will calculate the average Percent of weight loss of each person. The person with the Highest average will win the pot. START DATE IS APRIL 7TH 2008

AWSOME!!!! I think you will have a great time & what a real motivator!!!! YAY Denise!!!!!!! We have the biggest loser here at work & it was $25.00 for the 3 months & now it is a WHOPPING $35.00!!! This will be the last time I do it, the fee is JUST TOO MUCH!!! We were doing the weight & winner got the pot. Now it is the $25.00 for the most weight & $10.00 for the biggest percentage. The winner gets usually $1000.00 or $1400.00 I personally have been keeping off 1.2 pounds for the last 11 weeks, so it is not worh $35.00 to me. KEEP IT UP!!!!!! -Jamie

wow that is steep. I could not afford that. That is why we tried to keep it affordable but yet enough money to motivate people to at least TRY. lol lol Mainly me. As of now just with joining fee we will have $90. So at the end of 3 months we could have around $200 which is a HUGE amnt to me. lol lol Also I wanted it to be as fair as possible so we are doing the percent thing. Denise

Im proud of you girl!! Great motivation! Me and a friend at work are doing it together also, I think that is what is making it easier for me...GOOD LUCK!! Jen
