Welcome to week number one of Just Another Whale's "Biggest Loser" competition! (I do not own Biggest Loser, NBC does! I'm just a huge fan of the show! haha)
The Rules/Information:
1. Each player is on her/his own when it comes to exercise and diet- although at the conclusion of each day we can share what we ate.
2. No desserts! (we will be making desserts a reward so if we allowed desserts anyway that wouldn't be motivating! haha)
3. Each player must weight themselves thursday morning, right when they wake up. (though I won't post pictures on here, we will text each other a photograph of what the scale reads to make sure neither of us is fibbing, not that we would anyway haha)
4. Lizz will write the blog posts, but Bret will calculate the percentages, since Lizz is not super excellent at maths and wants to show that she's not making stuff up!
5. Each week will have a reward. Since it's only 2 players, adding pounds lost will not be a reward as they are on the Biggest Loser. Instead, each week a reward will be mutually agree on, and will be listed in the previous week's blog post (instead of my usual "goals" section).
6. In addition to weekly rewards, there will be rewards for every increment of 10 lbs lost, for each "marker" of 10 pounds lost, you get one dessert of your choice!
7. This competition will last for 8 weeks. :) At the conclusion, the one with the highest overall body percentage lost gets a super special reward- to be announced- and bragging rights!
This week's reward: a 30 minute back massage from the loser!
LIZZ (MYZZLYZZ)

Feel free to comment with words of encouragement or any suggestions for rules or rewards. Root for whoever you want- pick sides or go for both of us!
P.S.- wow, i actually put up a somewhat decent picture of myself on my profile! instead of my face in extreme close-up. haha
go lizz! go bret!
ReplyDeleteI really hope I win this week.
ReplyDeleteYou are both amazing!! My daughter is on the heavy side as well and even though she doesnt blog I am following you for both of us :)
ReplyDeleteIt will help her see that she isn't the only one out there and also give me the much needed boost to keep up my daily walking for better health and weight loss :)
Thanks we know where not going to win versus the temptations every week but as long as most weeks we are able to do what we have to we will win the war. Neither of us want to be whales any more we want to be the skinny nice size fish in the see. Not only that we want to be able to be 50-60 and able to hike and jog and stuff. I want to be able to play with my kids one day and be able to provide for them. If I am dead of a heart attack or something it just wont happen. I know people in both mine and Lizz's life put us down but where not letting that bother us we will win we will suceed. People like you lady bug are what keep us going. Not people who call us fat and stuff they are just barriers they think there helping but they are just stressing us out. And as I am sure you know when these type of people who call us fat and say we will never be skinny cause us stress it just makes it even harder to lose weight. So thank you lady for your support and all the other people who have been an inspiration for us instead of just another barrier.
ReplyDelete@7ladbugz, how old is your daughter? maybe i have some ideas that could help her get moving?
ReplyDelete@bret, we need to work on your spelling. haha. i love you!
