Biggest Loser Week #8--A Little Lighter

This is week #8 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 13.5 pounds.

There are three more weeks left in the competition. In that time, I am running the Philadelphia Marathon and eating Thanksgiving Dinner. My goal is 6.5 more pounds. I only lost half a pound this week, so I need to pick up the pace a bit to make my goal. To make things complicated, I'm going to have to carb load again prior to the marathon. On the other hand, I am running a marathon. Time will tell.
