Weight....motivation...just keep going...

For those like me that struggle with weight - you know it's not an easy thing to keep off. Although I've lost some weight, it's an every day struggle to keep it off.

A week or two ago, I started a Biggest Loser Competition. I am surprised by the turnout - 54 people to be exact. I am so excited for all of them and excited to see the end results. It cost $30 dollars to enter the weight contest which the winners will be determined by percentage lost. Along with that - there is an 'inches' contest. That one cost $10 and the winner who loses the most inches will take home the pot of $300. As for the weight contest - it is combined men and women. First place will take home $972, second place $486 and third place $162.

Since the beginning of the competition, I have heard stories about some of the competitors. Things such as a change in their diet - nothing eating sugar (except natural sugars), cutting down food portions and smaller portion sizes. For some, it's adding exercise to their routine. And for others, it's taking their exercise routine to another level.

Either way, for me, I love that people are motivated to make some healthy changes to their lifestyles. Whether they win the prize money or not, by the end, they have made an effort to make changes. My hope is that they all continue on after the competition. It's about a lifestyle change - not temporary. Good luck to all participating!

And I almost forgot...check out my good friend Via's success story...HERE.
