The school where I work is doing a Biggest Loser contest. Everyone pitches in ten bucks and the person who loses the biggest percentage of body weight at the end gets 60% of the money, with second and third prize splitting the rest of the money. So I decided to do this thing. Now, I am not a real fattie, but I do have some Christmas weight I would like to shed, and since I hate exercise and I have no one really pushing me, I haven't started on it, yet. I thought this would be the incentive I needed.
Now people are mad at me for joining in. I weighed in at 127.4 pounds today. I am about 5'8", give or take, and I thought that shedding 5 pounds would be getting back to my fighting weight. I have been telling people that I don't lose weight easily because I have never had to diet before, I hate exercise and five pound of me would be like a big person losing a lot more. It's fair, isn't it, if we go by percentage? I'll quit if everyone is bummed about it, but I'd like to participate because it will give me some incentive.
