My Weight Loss Contest

A bunch of guys at work started up a weight loss contest.  I'm not sure what prompted it, but i decided to get in on it.  There are 10-15 of us, all pledging $20 to a prize pool, to be divided among the person who loses the most weight (raw pounds lost), and the person who loses the most, percentage-wise.  It started 3 weeks ago, and will run for 3 months, into September. 

We weighed in together, on a scale at work.  And we weigh in every 2 weeks, on the honor system (at least until the end), although i encourage bluffing.  Not sure if there is an advantage in bluffing too high, or too low. 

Anyhow, i think i'm the early leader, having dropped 7 pounds in the first 2 weeks.  All just by portion control, and better food choices.  Just wait until i start exercising!
