Back to the beginning!

It is official! On February 1st we will begin another session of Peterson's Biggest Losers!! Doodododooo! (That was the sound of a trumpet signaling the beginning). If you are going to be a player, please leave a comment to declare the commitment! I will also expect a phone call with the dreaded weight!

Here is how we will roll:
1. We will put in $5.00 per month. You can earn back the money by losing 5 pounds.
2. You will have a goal per month. You can decide on a dollar amount that can be earned by accomplishing the goal. If you are thinking that every goal will be worth $5.00 and you will always earn the money back, think again. These will have to be specific goals. They will also have to be a bit challenging or very challenging to get higher than a dollar. For suggestions on goal, give me a call and we will come up with something!
3. I want you to measure yourself. This will be something you do and keep to yourself. We will measure at the beginning and then again at the end but not in between. Please measure these body parts with a cloth measuring tape or string. Chest - at the biggest section. Waist - at the smallest part, usually just under the bust. Hips- at the biggest area. Thighs- biggest area. You can also do your biceps if you think you are going to get some guns in the next 6 months!
4. Call in on the 1st of each month with your weight. I will post % weight lost. The last weigh-in will be the 1st of September upon which winners will be announced on the 2nd of September.
5. The winner will be the person with the highest % weight loss. Winner will receive any money that is not earned each month. This could be a large or small amount!

If you don't like something listed above, now is the time to whine and complain. Otherwise we will go with what is listed! Any questions? Let the games begin!

Time to become Losers again!

Hello fellow Peterson's! It is time once again to become Losers! I have thought about it and decided that there are a few different ways to do this again. So here are some options. If you like one, or part of some, leave comments and let's iron this thing out!

1. We can do it the exact same as last time.

2. We can pay $5 per month. Each month you can earn back those $5 by losing 5 pounds. Any money not earned will be put into a pot. This pot will be used for prizes. Prizes can be earned with weight loss or by achieving goals (ie. exercising 5 days each week for a month). We could decide one goal each month or do it individually. Either way, at the end of another wonderful and skinny 6 months we could have winners with money prizes.

3. We can include inches lost into the equation also. I think that regardless how we do this, we should measure certain body parts. It can be hard to lose pounds, but inches do change in areas. I will follow up on this subject more!

4. Any other suggestions? We really can cater this to however we want to do it. Let everyone know what you think. I want some serious dialogue in the comments section!

Regardless, we should begin on February 1st with weigh-ins! I can manage the numbers again! Fun for the whole family!!
