Hi everyone! I've been hanging around for a little over 2 weeks now. I restarted (for good this time) my weight watchers journey on October 3rd! My work (I'm a teacher) has a program going among us..."*school name*'s Biggest Loser!" There are about 20 of us who joined the first session (October 3 - The last day before Christmas Break). We each paid $10 to join and all that money went into the "kitty"...The only money that has come out of the kitty was used to purchase a GOOD scale for us. Every monday (unless our Coach isn't here, then tuesday) we weigh in. Coach is the only one who sees our actual numbers. If we gain, we have to pay 25 cents per pound! Coach calculates our percentage lost each week and lets us know how everyone's doing. At the end of the session, whoever has lost the most percentage will get the money in the kitty (around $184 now)!! We'll start a second session when we come back in January. I'm very excited about this program because it's giving me even more support and incetive to reach my goal. My co-workers are amazing support....Everyone on my grade level has done an amazing job in these 3 weeks and showed a loss overall. (Personally I'm 6.6 pounds down in these 3 weeks).
Already, I thank everyone on this forum for their advice and support You've already all been wonderful!
