Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 21 January 2015

The talk with 190 must have worked! I scared it away! I weighed in at 189.0 this morning. To log or not to log? This could just be one of those crazy low numbers that disappears the next day. My goal to become obessive and weigh myself an obscene amount of times requires me to recognize it though... I think this is a trap. 190 has set out a trap to keep me in the 190's. That has to be it. 190 and the scale are pals and they're trying to sucker me into thinking I've told 190 goodbye only to laugh in the 2 yr olds evil HAHA laugh when I step on the scale tomorrow and it says something insulting like 193. Still.. I'm celebrating silently.. Can't act too happy. This could be a trap.

At work they've decided to start a "Turn Back the Scale" competition at work starting Feb 13. It goes for 1 month and the top 3 losers based on weight loss % get free gym memberships. The top 2 get money. It's $10 to enter. I gotta say I'm tempted to join. I hate wasting money. Even if its $10 it would make me competetive. I wonder how many people would take the next few weeks as a bulking up time to make their weight loss look better though. Could I just drink as much water as humanly possible then go weigh in and hope there is no line? Who thinks what?

They had a weight loss challenge at my old job and the person running it (who also happened to be my jerky boss) went out the weekend before and drank drank drank alcohol. So, her weigh-in was much higher than what it should have been. She was so mad because she ended up losing, she even admitted that she did that on purpose. Not gonna lie, it was upsetting that she would do that. Just my personal view.....$10 isn't bad, I would join in!

Log it! You are not jinxing yourself, you are inspiring yourself to be extra diligent in keeping tight on those calories today to make sure that you continue to lose tomorrow. I like to do an extra few minutes of walking or other exercise to "seal it in."

I joined a biggest loser challenge at work too. I don't participate in things at the office generally because I'm never really there, but I figured this is a motivator! Our costs $15 to enter and an extra $2 if you forget to submit your weight loss percentage each week. I hate wasting money just like you so I figured it would be motivating. Plus I find it embarrassing to have to report that I gained weight! We started Monday, it seems to be motivating so far as I've worked out each day this week and recorded/controlled my calories. Best of luck to you and congrats on the drop!

Log it! you should always celebrate successes even if you think they are temporary. As far as work goes, if you don't think it will stress you out even more, go for it. Even if you don't win you can commiserate with some coworkers and share some motivation.

I did a weight loss challenge with a group of friends, we each put in 20 bucks and then the person who lost the biggest % won the money. Only 2 of us actually lost weight, and everyone else gained. These were the end results for the two of us: Ed: Starting: 250.8 Ending: 215.0 lbs gone: 35.8 %: 14.27 Letty: Starting: 276.8 Ending: 238.8 Lbs gone: 38.0 %: 13.73 So even though I lost the most weight because he started out at a lower weight than I did he lost a bigger percentage. And he won the money. I wouldn't do it again. Unless there were prizes for both the biggest % and the biggest loss of pounds.
