Biggest Loser

My work had a group of people start up a biggest loser contest. A friend mentioned it to me and said I should look into it because she knew I was trying to lose weight. I go up and the woman in charge says, we're already a month in - you sure you want to join now? I had already lost my first 5 lbs at this point but I thought what the heck.

Well, it's not official yet (few more people to weigh), but unless they drop 15 pounds since the last weigh in it looks like I grabbed the biggest loser! $40 dollar buy in, 20 or so contestants. Can you say "Hello Ipad!"? Of course my wife immediately pulled up Old Navy.com so knowing how she shops I'll probably only be able to afford an am-fm radio but man that felt good.

On top of that I just found out I had been accepted into my graduate school! Today rocks.

I can't wait to see what another few months brings.

    Thanks everyone! Still riding the high - and even though I splurged a bit yesterday - did not go over my calorie limit. This website has been fantastic.
