    It's in New Zealand. It's called "new you for new years" 3 month challenge. biggest loser wins the prizes. just a promotion i think.

    There are some tricks to help you pre-first weigh-in. I'd make sure I don't evacuate my bowels or bladder (drink 2 litres of water) before the weigh-in. I'd also eat lots of salty snacks to retain water. I suppose you could insert a 1kg pouch filled with lead shot up your rectum, too. :noway: :laugh: Might be worth it for $7k.

    Then do the opposite for the final weigh-in eg dehydrate, avoid salt, evacuate bowels and bladder. And remember to remove the rectal insert.

    It's not a great challenge, really, if you get my meaning.
