Is there any interest in this?
Something at work today reminded me of when we had a "Biggest Loser" competition at my old store. We all put $20 into a pot, weighed in every 2 weeks, and at the end of the competition (3-4 months), the winner got the pot. Because we all started at different sizes and fitness levels and we all had different amounts to lose/potential to lose, we "judged" by either percent of body weight lost or perfect of body fat lost. I can't remember, but I think the latter?
I was thinking that all the participants could put a pre-decided amount forward (say, somewhere between $5 and $20) and the winner takes all, so to speak. At first I thought maybe we could get a gift card to and online tack store or something, but then remembered that not of our members have horses to spoil at the moment. Add to that that not every store would work for every person (case in point, I'm in Canada and a lot of the shipping is OUTRAGEOUS) and it's not really viable... But we could create a Paypal account just for this, and the winner gets to take it.
I'm also open to suggestions on the best/fairest/healthiest way to determine the "winner".
So -- thoughts, ideas, interest?
