ChrisL Posted January 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 11, 2018 Signed up for the next one as the rules are really in my favor. We start this challenge from where we left off the last one, or any previous challenge they participated in. Most people starved themselves and then binged, I kept it up and am down 7 lbs since the last one ended. I'm actually the lowest weight I've been in about 15 years at 207. My goal is to hit 195 but I'd be happy with 200. 200 would put me at 14 lbs lost since the last one which is pretty competitive for this event. I really can't restrict diet much more due to fear of low blood glucose due to my diabetes meds so I've been upping the cardio mid week and tightening up the portions and snacks. $1000 for the taking which is less than last time but buy in is only $25 this time, down from $100. The owner is greatly subsidizing this event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boss added a new bonus for the most weight lost since I lost 7 lbs more than the winner but came in 2nd by about 1%. The real benefit is basing the start weight off the last, or previous challenge weigh ins. Most will be starting way in the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - a weight challenge that rewards yo-yo diets is pretty much the opposite of "healthy". I applaud anyone who can switch to and then maintain healthy eating habits.

Should be a good challenge. I won't run around and sabotage people like I did last time, people in the office are kind of inspired by my journey and ask a lot of questions. I hope to be a good role model for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime someone asks where you are going for lunch, say McDonald's or KFC. Invite people (when you know they can't go) for wings and beer or pizza after work, and if you take time off, tell people you went on a cruise because you love the unlimited food. You need to not actually eat those things, but you instead want to crush their spirits to win the $1,000 in seemingly effortless fashion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a two day period she said my beard covered my face which was a shame as I have a cute face. Followed by my tush looks cute in those pants followed by I'm becoming a lady killer with the weight loss. This was about a week after I asked her to not comment on my appearance or clothing as it makes me uncomfortable when she does so. This discussion was documented and sent to HR. I then lodged a complaint after the subsequent comments. She didn't talk to me for days as I'm guessing she got slapped but we still have to work together on certain things and that has been OK.
