Question...

My family (mom dad and myself) started our own version of Biggest Loser. We are doing it over a 3.5 month period and, like the show, who ever loses the largest percent of body weight is the winner. We each paid in $50 when we began and winner takes all.

So my question is...
My Dads starting weight was ~ 230, Moms was ~ 178, Mine was ~145. We are all overweight, however I am the least amount over weight (I am 5', maybe 5'1" so my target weight range is like 97-132 or something close to that).

We've been at it for 4 weeks now. I have been eating healthy - only going over my calories 1x a week, if any - i've been exercising regularly.. at least 4 days of week for cardio/strength (more cardio than strength), and drink TONS of water.

I'm down about 7lbs. My mom is down about 10 and my step dad is down about 13.

The thing is... They dont eat quite as healthy (but still healthier than before) and they AREN'T working out - they both have jobs that are more active than mine, but its always been that way.

What's the deal here? Why I am still behind? I feel like I should be Kicking Butt! :laugh:

So just curious to see what your opinions are!

Thanks :glasses:

Try looking at the percentage of weight everyone has lost instead of the actual number of pounds. That should help even it out! Plus keep in mind, the more you have to lose, the faster it will come off in the beginning. Great job by the way!!

OOPS - ADDITION: I'm at about 4% weightloss , my moms at 4.7% and my Dads at 5.3% or so.

I'll keep doing what I'm doing!

Thanks for the advice
