My family has just instituted a new "Biggest Loser" contest.*
Weigh-ins: Wednesday mornings**
The Prize: Winner is excused from helping with dishes on Thanksgiving.
Bring it, baby. That is all the motivation I need.
*Due mainly to the fact that many of us have many of those same pounds to lose again. Oops.
** 'Cause there was much whining last time with it being on Monday mornings, right after the weekends, which are fundamentally harder on diets and therefore were discouraging for some of our weekend warriors. Also, we wanted the contest to end the day before Thanksgiving, so we could all guiltlessly gorge ourselves on carbs, as is the tradition and all.

I wish you good luck, but loyalties make me really hope Talina wins. She has more control over my social life. Although, I have not recieved a payment from Star in a while, so maybe I don't really care which of you wins...
Good Luck. I hope you kick butt!! I wish dishes were all I needed to loose weight. What motivation! I've got the being pregnant excuse right now.
I was hoping the dishes would be motivation. And really, it isn't the NOT doing dishes that is the prize. It is lording it over everyone else who IS doing dishes. I also think that anyone who is NOT participating in our family bonding HAS to help with dishes (David. . . and possibly Greg, Dad and/or Cody. I haven't actually heard from any of the boys).
Good luck to you, Hilary. I really hope you win. Also, I hope you enjoy the giant bag of M&Ms I will be dropping by your house later this afternoon. ;) (Wha, ha, ha! It's not really about eating well. Just eating BETTER than the other people in the competition).
I am going to win!!! Talina, I hope you enjoy the tator tot casseral I'm dropping off and Hilary... While your sleep I'm going to inject you with oil. That's currently my plan. I'm not sure how to sabatage Lacy (the queen of crash diets) but I think I'll just send her chocolates from a secret admirer.
Oh Beans, I think it's cute you're going to try and sabotage me . . . it's like you're making the assumption I don't already have a GIANT bag of plain M&Ms, and a large bag of Peanut Butter ones, already in my cabinet . . . you give me far too much credit :-)
That is an AWESOME prize! I wish you the best in winning!
Good luck! I love some friendly family competition
That sounds like a great idea! I need to jump back on that wagon too :-(
