Biggest Loser... as so it begins

I decided that to help me along my journey, I need a little healthy competition.  So, I've joined my company's Biggest Loser competition.  There are approximately 30 people signed up to battle the pounds and each other for the prize money.  Each of us have put $20 in the pot and the winner at the end of 3 months will win 75% of the cash (roughly $450).  We're also each setting a weekly goal.  If we don't meet that goal, we have to put money in a sidepot and the weekly biggest loser wins that cash.

So, my first weigh in was today and (on that official biggest loser scale) I weighed in at 291.4.  I set my first weekly goal at 2 pounds.  We'll see how I do this week and then adjust as needed next week.  :)

And so it begins...
