Work Challenge
Posted: August 5th, 2009, 8:27 pm
Roger asked if I would post on the personal success stories,so here goes. I was sitting in the waiting room while my dh was having shoulder surgery,reading a magazine(really couldn't tell ya which one) but there was an article about lets do lunch.When I got home that night I went on this site and was snooping around,lol. I've tired sooo many things, whats 1 more.I called and chatted with Rogers wife, for a few minutes and ordered the book.I right away started to read thru everyones post,but I did wait for the book,and read and re-read it when it came.
The girls at my worked have done the weight watcher thingy a few times(they come over lunch) but I never did, heck I've done that one at least 3 times already.Anyways there is always someone wanting to start something up so 1 of the girls ask some of us if we wanted to throw $20 in for a 2 month challenge on weight lost,percentage of weight lost? As much money as I have thrown away over the years,I was game,heck,maybe it would be an incentive.The 1st month I gained 2 lbs.When all was said and done on Tuesday there were 4 girls that wouldn't even weigh in(guess they didn't do very well) and the supervisor figured out I had the most % of weight loss.YEAHHHHH.Now that was 14 lbs at work(but 16lbs loss since I started at home) Now I have said on here before, I can HONESTLY say that I am not doing everything 100%,WOW can ya imagine how much I would have lost then?But I am sooooo darn happy with this woe,it has been so easy for me for the first time in a long time. I try to come here most everyday to read the postings because I believe the support and all the great ideas is a great help for me. OH! for got to tell ya I won $200.00,is that GREAT or what?
So how about getting some of your co-workers to get a weight lost challenge going,you don't to tell them what your doing,but I bet some will ask when your done
