When I made the decision to lose 100lbs. I made the decision and went full speed ahead from there. I had tunnel vision, I had a goal, to meet the number, to meet my expectations, have more energy, look good, feel good and become more physically fit. As I continued on my journey, I just kept setting goals for myself and raising the bar higher because I like the challenge and it keeps me accountable. Some of those challenges were participating in weight loss contests, whether it was a contest sponsored by my gym, or others that offered cash as an incentive for weight loss like DietBet where within 28 days you have to lose 4% of your body weight in order to win a cash prize that you split with several winners. Another contest I participated in was with HealthyWage a great website that offers multiple challenges either either a BMI challenge which if you get your Body Mass Index within a certain percentage you win a hundred dollars. They also have team challenges where you can create or join a team to split a $10,000 pot to whoever loses the most lbs and finally a trasnformer challenge where you must lose 10% of your bodyweight. I only participated with HealthyWage’s BMI challenge but the great thing about contests like these at least for me as a competitve, motivated and determined person is that it keeps me accountable and keeps me on track and is essential a smaller scale version of The Biggest loser and they are just a lot of fun. If you are looking to lose a few pounds I highly suggest you check some of these sites out. They can be found at http://www.dietbet.com, http://www.healthywage.com . Speaking of Healthy Wage here is my success story that they featured on their blog http://healthywage.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/success-story-kristina-m/ Let me know what you think!
