Biggest loser - Final Weigh in

Over the last 2 weeks, because of my trip to Costa Rica (and the trip to leatherbys upon my return), I gained 8 pounds! Last Monday I was notified that they were going to end the competition early because the majority of the participants had fallen off the wagon. I also found out that there was a sleeper among us. One of the guys who had initially weighed in with us was doing extremely well. He hadn't been weighing in weekly like everyone else, but that wasn't required. I had heard some rumors that he was over 20 pounds. Since he weighed less than half what I started at, his weight loss percentage may have surpassed mine, especially with my recent gain.



David lost 22.1 pounds in the end, a whopping 10.4% of his body weight. When hearing that, I was crushed. "All of this work, and I didn't even win!" I thought.
With my weight loss total at 42 pounds at last weeks weigh in, I was only at 9.7% weight loss. I've worked really hard this week to get back on track. Finally it was time for me to weigh in.
I stepped on the scale...




I had lost 7 pounds this week. A total loss of 49.3 pounds. 11.3%! I won!


Yay!


I got a really nice 4th Generation 8GB iPod Nano. I'm loading it up with music to give to Trisha tonight!
She's going to be very excited!

That is great, Nick. Keep going! Get on a treadmill, stairstepper, exercise bike or something, and you will be surprised what will happen. I would be at my ideal weight if I lost as much as you did! Somehow, I need to get motivated. With the cold weather coming, bike rides and jogging will fall by the wayside I'm afraid. I do have the treadmill...
