I just realized that I am officially in the last month of my Biggest Loser competition at work...our end date is March 16. Yikes! My husband says that I shouldn't worry and that, for anyone to catch up with me at this point, they would have to "lop off an arm or a leg"...but I want to be absolutely sure that I finish strong! Right now I have lost 16.6% body weight. The person currently in second place is at 8%...so, realistically, it's true that I probably shouldn't worry about that. My biggest concern, I think, is how difficult it's going to be after the competition to keep going. Any words of wisdom from others who have done weight loss competitions?

Also...I just realized that I am in serious need of more "friends". So feel free to add me.

    My deadline to lose 10% of my body weight is March 30th. I have lost 9.2% so far. If I make it, I get $500. I want to go way beyond 10% weight loss, I want to lose about 32% of my original weight before Memorial Day. Sounds like you are safe but I understand. I want to be at least about 10 lbs less than I have to be by weigh in. It would be horrible to show up at weigh in and them say, you were just 1 lb away from $500. :(
