MY school is having a "Biggest loser" competition amongst the staff and fatculty. You pay 9 bucks (a buck a week for the length of contest) and at the end of each week there is a weigh in and who ever wins that week gets the pot for that week, at the end of the 9 weeks the overall winner gets another week's pot.

I decided to enter since I need to get back to dating weight and I really only succeed at shit like this when there is some form of competition. It brings out my competitive side.

I won last week's round (the first) with a 2.33% loss (5 pounds)

The other reason I like the contest is that I can call it, variously,
The Big Fat Loser contest or the Total Loser contest and so on. Especially because my cow orkers keep thinking that I don't know what the show is called and they keep correcting me. Then I come up with another corruption like What a Loser, as though I really am that dense. (I'm not dense, I'm big boned!)

If I can lose another 5 pounds this week that would be rad. if I keep going I might be able to pull off a 40# loss in 9 weeks and I'd be a svelte 180 (That's 12.8 stone to you paleolithic folks) and 144 bucks richer.

We'll see if I'm truly a loser or just a looser.
