HI! Started out at as competition.

Hello I'm new to this site and so is my husband. We've worked out off and on for years, but the one thing we really never did was change our diet. We liked junk a lot.
A friend of mine wanted to do a competition that involves cash. I was down; I'm a ruthless competitor. I often wonder why I'm so fat? lol Somewhere a long the way, I started enjoying eating right. I never feel hungry. I feel like I'm always eating! It's amazing! I love it! I saw thing site looking at something else, I don't remember, but I love the calorie counter I just love it, it just emphazises the fact that the food I'm eating is good Anyway, I hope to win that competition. If I do, I'm going to go on a trip to visit a friend of mine who is in the air force.
"Trying" this time feels different. I think it's because my husband is on board this time He is so supportive. I hope I do the same for him. I feel amazing

Welcome! I, also, am in a cash-incentive competition to lose weight. Woo hoo! Can't wait! Good luck to you.

Hi, welcome to MFP, I started in 2009 but gave up quickly, so I started again 2011 and I am taking it slow... I wish you the best.

I am also doing a "Biggest Loser" contest at my office. $10 to join, and you pay $5 each week if you gain. There are 15 people so, at a minimum, the winner will get $150, but probably more. We go by percentage lost of your original weight, instead of actual pounds lost, to make it fair.

I find the competition is a great motivator, and the fact that you may get cash at the end is a bonus! I just worry that when the contest ends (March 25th) I will lose my incentive, and go back to my old ways! I hope using this site can keep me on track. Let's support each other. Please feel free to add me as friend so we can do that.
