For the ambulance company I organized a Biggest Loser competition where we and members of the hospital emergency room competed against each other in monthly weight loss, with the grand winner being decided 20 weeks later.
Today’s that weigh-in day and I’ve lost 44 pounds during those 20 weeks which comes out to 16.86% of my starting body weight. I have to admit I’m somewhat surprised at that amount because I really hadn’t been paying attention to the running count. I’ve definitely won on the percentage of body weight lost because no one else is close. The pounds will be close because there’s a guy who weighs 100 pounds more than me who has been dropping big numbers, but gained last month. If he loses what he gained and just a few pounds he’ll win for pounds.
Competition always motivates me, and I’m glad I had my personal trainer push me today to sweat off those three extra pounds.
