Everyone agreed to put in $25.00 into the contest. The winner at the end of the 3 months then got the money. Every Sunday each person would weigh in and report to me their weight loss for the week. I would then send out weekly results. We had different winners every week. At the end of each month I would send out the monthly results for the overall monthly winner. I kept a running total for 3 months. It was a success! Everyone did really well and kept each other motivated to keep losing weight.
October 30th was FINAL weigh in! Saturday morning everyone texted me their final weight. We then all met at Jeremiah's for breakfast for the final results and to celebrate everyone's success! The competition broke down like this: Sam WON the $250.00! He did so great. He lost 39 pounds! Chris Larsen came in 2nd place, losing 27.5 pounds and Abbey Sharp came in 3rd place, losing 16 pounds. We were all stunned at how much our group as a whole lost in total. We lost 168 pounds together! (It was like loosing a whole Michael Sharp!)
I am so proud of Sam. We all didn't know he had that much weight to loose. He looks great! Everyone looks great! It was a lot of fun. It was then determined at Jeremiah's that we would all put in another $5.00 for a maintenance race to see who could keep the weight off until January 1st. So that will be fun to see who can maintain their weight loss.
Here is Sam and his success:
