This is week #7 of the Biggest Loser competition at work. Ten of us are competing to lose the most weight for a 1st prize of $140, 2nd prize of $40, and 3rd prize of $20. My photoshopped results are above. My total weight loss since my first weigh-in on September 21 (with a starting weight of 189 lbs.) is 13 pounds.
I'm currently in first place. All the other contestants are women and they keep saying it is easier for men to lose weight, which is why I'm winning. That may be true, but statistically, women live longer than men, so I don't feel too bad for them.
This week I lost 2.5 pounds despite massive carb loading for my long run training. I ran 20 miles on Friday, but I ate a huge amount of carbs on Thursday. I also went to my mom's over the weekend where she decided to have an early Thanksgiving by cooking a turkey, mac & cheese, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and lima beans. Luckily, the running seems to be offsetting the carbs and calories.
There are four more weeks left in the work competition. I'm aiming for a total weight loss of 20 pounds.
