My work started a 'Biggest Loser' contest. Well, I'm game since I certainly need something to motivate me. I managed to get a team of four co-workers although that's a pretty sensitive and touchy thing to do. I had to send emails to my friends at work and ask them if they'd like to join a weight loss program. I managed to get some positive responses but I'm still not sure how many I ticked off.
The contest lasts for twelve weeks. The team name we voted on is 'Sysco Chicks'. Friday was our first weigh in since the contest started and our group lost a total of 20 lbs. (5 each on an average) Not exactly the dazzling 'Size 8 here I come' result I was looking for.
Somehow they made me the team captain. I know they wouldn't have done that if they knew that awhile back I joined Weight Watchers for awhile with Nancy and I gained 12 pounds.
I did make motivational work out T-Shirts for our team so maybe that will help. (No, not with my smiling, waving face on them).
Hopefully in the near future people will be coming up and asking me if I'm Jean's little sister. In the meantime though I think I'll go have a delicious rice cake. Mmmmmm

Whenever I try to "diet," I usually sabotage myself and end up eating more than ever. I figured maybe I should just attempt to eat normally, but that never seems to work, either. Oh, sudden brainstorm, I will try to eat MORE than usual and see what happens with that strategy. Will let you know how that works out. Good luck to the Sysco chicks!
