junkinthehatchback's Journal, 17 July 2016

We're back at it again. We both lost a little weight within the last few months. There was a contest at my husband's work with a $300 prize. I was going along with him, though he exercised more than me.

He didn't win, but got $100 for second place. Then a month or so later gained most of it back. Now, we are trying to get down to our goal weight.

Day 1:

First weigh in with DH. We went to Walmart to get a new scale, as the old one is very inaccurate. We also picked up a jump rope and a case of bottled water, since I hate our tap. When we went to weigh in, we realized that our new scale was broken. So, day one of our contest was being difficult.
I drove the 15 miles back to Walmart and exchange the scale for a working one (tried and true). We got home, stripped and weighed in. He made fun of me for taking off my glasses. 
His start - 261.4
Mine - 201.4
First to lose 60lbs wins the pot.
This week's $20 is in the collection box. Honestly, the money isn't motivating me, I just really want to beat him. :)
201.4 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 61.4 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Think you need to even out the bet, you are making it too difficult on you. It's generally accepted that men lose faster than women (in most cases) and 60 lbs is 30% of your body weight but only 23% of his....

Ironically enough, he wanted to bump it down to 50 lbs, because he thinks 60 will be harder for him to lose than for me.

You should have left all that stuff in and when you weighn in again, THAT'S when you lose the shoes, clothes and glasses

Good Luck!! This sounds like a fun contest I can do with my BF. We are both trying to lose weight but a $$ incentive would be worth it. I could use a day at the spa once I have lost my weight. You can do it!!!
