The pic from 2007 was my heaviest. I've probably lost over 50 pounds since then. However, this year I've lost 26 pounds after 6 weeks or so. Final weight-in is April 1st. 500 bucks goes to top winner by percentage weight loss. I'll do a before/after pic then from Jan 1 - April 1 of this year.

    My goal for April 1 is 50 pounds lost since Jan. 1. That's just under 20% weight loss for the year. I'm just under 10% weight loss so far.

    Thanks for all the support. Sadly I'm not in the top 3 at the midway weigh-in. Third place has 10.24% weight loss and I'm at 9.4%. I got to step it up if I'm going to win. First place is at 12%!!

    In a couple of weeks I'm starting a 90 day weight loss challenge if anyone wants to join me. It's called BodyKey and is exciting! Tell me if you want info.

    Hi bcmguy! I am actually in a biggest loser contest at work and our final weigh in is also April 1st. I am actually in first place and have been since the beginning. I am suprised that I lasted 10 weeks in first place. I have so far lost 10.25% but the second place is at 9.48% and slowly catching up to me :( I was doing Insanity and only lost .2# in the last two weeks so I know I shouldnt have but I stopped Insanity for the next two weeks and all I am doing now is 1 - 1 1/2 hrs of cardio - walking and running on the treadmill. I'm hoping this will help me through my plateau. The good thing is the second place has only lost .8# in the last two weeks so I'm thinking she is at a plateau also. The winner will win $240, as there is only 4 of us in the contest but if I lose 20# total my boyfriend is giving me $500. I am now at 15.2#. Its going to be hard to make it to 20# but I'm going to try my best! Good Luck!
