My coworkers and I have been gaining weight like crazy. We order out for breakfast and lunch every day. Then I usually go to school and by the time I get out, I grab whatever is good for on the go. So basically you can say I eat junk food 24/7. So now that summer is getting closer and closer, my co-workers and I have decided to Biggest Loser contest. There are 6 people in the contest including myself. We will begin as of Monday. The way we are running the contest is that everyone pays $5 to play, and then each week, what you owe is based on how much you lost - biggest loser pays nothing, second place pays $2, and everyone else pays $4. At the end (not sure when it will end), the Biggest Loser gets half the pot, second place gets 30%, and third gets 20%. On Monday, we will be weighed. I am nervous to see how much I lost so far on my own dieting.
Some things I plan to do to win the contest are
1. Keep a log of what I eat
2. Stop eating out
3. Stick to a 1500 based calorie diet
4. Try to exercise at least 3 times a week
The contest seems to be motivating everyone. My co-workers and I cannot seem to stop talking about it. Even I do not win in the end, the fact that we are all taking steps for our health is inspiring to me. I can't wait to see how this all turns out in the end!
Wish me luck!

That sounds like a great idea! I hope you all stick to it and that it ends with big results and happy coworkers! I think working out and dieting is always good when you have other people doing the same! Good luck to you! I hope you win! :)
