Riverton's Biggest Loser

Well, after getting on the weight loss bandwagon, then falling off temporarily, I am getting myself back on the horse so to speak, beginning with tonight's weigh-in of Riverton's Biggest Loser. It started as a question on Facebook and has spiraled into a weight loss competition which should have around 20 people participating (by my guestimating, anyway).

There is a pretty big carrot at the end of the road with this challenge. Each participant pays $40 which goes into a prize pool, and at the end the winner gets the pot and I think second place gets their money back. So if we have 20 people participate we're looking at a potential winnings of almost $800!

The money would be nice, but really I'll be glad to be doing this with other people. I don't think I'll ever get south of 200 pounds again due to my build, but if I can get down to around 220 I'd be pretty happy with that.

My plan is to adjust my diet, play badminton once a week, run on the elliptical 3 times a week, and curl once a week. I already do the curling and badminton, so I just need to add that elliptical time on the physical activity front.
