Biggest Loser couples Competition

The game is on. I called Mckenzie today she didn't answer...bet she was on the treadmill or working out some where! I am hoping her competition mind keeps me motivated.

Here's how it goes:

  • Each couple puts in $10 a week.
  • All couples weigh in every Monday night.
  • The couple that looses the most percentage each week together wins the pot for that week.
  • The couple that looses the least amount percentage has to pay $20 for that week.
  • At the end of 12 weeks each couple pays $100 toward the main prize.
  • The couple that looses the most percentage of weight wins the main prize at the end of the 12 weeks!
  • No dropping out. If you drop you still have to pay!

We talked about doing a group challenge each week and one couple being in charge of that but since every one is so busy we are going to work out together every Monday after weigh ins and challenge once a month!

The couple that wins the challenge will win a service from each of the loosing couples....babysitting, a prepared meal etc.

We are also talking about having another weigh in every 8 weeks after the competition is over to make sure we are staying on target.

We ended up with only 5 couples but that is still enough to make it fun.

I can't believe how excited I am about this. I had just decided to be happy with my fat self and get on with it. Mckenzie is such a motivator. I am so glad she called. So our couples are

Mckenzie and Zach

Luke and Cara

Bruce and Brandi

John and Laura

Gretchen and Steve

It will be fun to see what happens next week. I'll keep you posted!

We will burn calories just laughing as much as we do at weigh-ins. This is alot of fun! I am all for continuing to keep each other motivated after the competition. Zack and I are shooting for a lifestyle change through this process.

okay, I am excited for you, but since I love you I have to help you. Loser. 1 o.

If you are the biggest looser it will mean you are loose like jiggly. Bad idea. Go for loser. and be not jiggly. Don't be like Adrian and I. We are jiggly.

Hope this helps. cause I am here for you. As a matter of fact I have been trying to figure out how to help. And then I had an epiphany. Heavy house cleaning is the best exercise, right?

I am going to let you come and scrub my house down for me. I know, you can thank me for my generosity later.

Have I misspelled anything in this comment? I am nervous.
