Final note. For my final weigh-in, I wore the lightest clothes I could find: a pair of slacks and a t-shirt. No belt. We all took off our shoes too.

There was a moment of suspense for me when the guy that was in 2nd place remembered to take off his belt after his weigh-in but I was still ahead by half a pound.

get a real "sauna suit" from walmart or sports authority, etc. they work better.

Update:

The competition ended 2 days early. I came in third place after having lost 22.5lbs!

So I'm down from 255.5 to 233lbs. I lost a couple inches off of my waist, my suit jackets will have to be taken in about 4" at the waist & I can fit into pants & belts I couldn't in 2 years!

Best part is I saved over $500 just on lunches. I bought Michelina's Lean Gourmets at Pathmark for about $1 each on sale & pretty much ate one of those for lunch for the duration. So in lieu of spending an average of $50 per week on lunch, I spent $5 per week!

The winner lost over 40lbs, but since he started at a low weight, he looks sickly now. But I guess he had more pressure to lose since he started the bet.

You thought a group of people competing as a way to give each other motivation to reach a shared goal only happened on TV?

No, but I didn't think they had programs like these for the workplace. All of this can be done outside of work as well. I am not against it or anything, just mildly surprised.

Motivation? **** that. More like competition. When my co-workers did it, we bought each other boxes of Krispy Kreme and left them on each others desks. I encouraged one to take vitamin B supplements knowing it would increase his appetite.

I meant motivating in that you're not just doing it alone, you have people to compete against, and that keeps you motivated.

That's damn funny stuff though!
