The Biggest Loser Board



Recommended Posts

I am launching a biggest loser challenge at work on April 1. All your ideas are appreciated.

So far I am posting the worste take out like from favorite resturaunts. There is a 100 and 5o$ prize for the winners. We have a 2&5K marathon on April 26 which I have 10 dedicated memebers. It is my hope this will kick off with a bang. I have excluded myself from the money but not from leading this challenge.

Come on, who knows more about this than us?:thumbup:

How long will your challange last? almost every restuarant has a good food choice, so maybe you could list GOOD take out choices from local restaurants. Do you have a lunch hour? Maybe you could start a walking group at lunch time.

Or reminders for drinking Water thorughout the day.

Good Luck.

Bobby- My work has a Biggest Loser challenge too. It works like this: Anyone can participate. It runs for 12 weeks. Everyone who wants to join pays $5 per week (they give their $60 up front, and it's non-refundable). Everyone weighs in with the "leader". All the weights are private. Only pounds lost get posted. They can weigh in as often as they like and use any diet they want. At the end of the challenge, the winner gets all but $100 (that goes to the second place winner). The pot of money is usually pretty big, so it's a great incentive. We don't have any organized events though, I like that you do! Hope that helps. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
