*Weigh-in every Wednesday night immediately following church at Heritage
*Each person contributes $5
*You can follow any diet you want - grapefruit, Atkins, Weight Watchers, baby food, working out, etc.
*Each week, we show up and confidentially weigh in. Each person is given their percentage of weight loss. This is calculated by a computer and is given to each person. Your weight will be kept in strict confidence with you and the person weighing you.
This is the exciting part....
The person who loses the highest percentage
for that week takes home all the money!!
Rules:
1. If you hit your "goal" weight (set by you at the first weigh-in), you don't have to contribute to the pot as long as you stay +/- 2 pounds of that weight.
2. If you skip a week, your total weight loss will be divided among the total number of weeks and you get credit for the average. Example: I weigh in on 6/13 at 110 pounds (quit laughing). I can't be there on 6/20, but I show up on 6/27 weighing 105. Total pounds lost - 5. Total weeks since the last weigh in - 2. I get credit for losing 2.5 pounds and that is how my percentage is calculated.
3. You have to feel comfortable weighing in front of only ONE other person. No one else will know your weight unless you tell them. Results are kept in a LOCKED and password protected file on a laptop. (So we can easily and quickly do the calcuations.)
4. We all weigh at the same time on the same scale every week.
Just imagine - we already have four people participating. This means that our winnings are already at $20! If we get 10 people involved, that means you could go home with $50!!
Anyone can afford $5 and everyone can use an extra few bucks in their pocket if they win! Drop me an email or comment if you want to participate! Tell your friends. This is definitely a "the more the merrier" situation!!
I wanted to start tonight, but it may have to wait until next week. A big bonus to all of this is the great summer series we have going on at Heritage this year. Come find me tonight and I will let you know if we are starting tonight or next week.

The pot is up to $30! We will start next week. If you want to join, but can't be there next week, we can work it a couple of different ways. Just email me and I will explain. Also, I thought I would mention that your first week of weighing, obviously you don't have to pay. You can get in anytime!
Some of my neighbors are teachers and they did this at their school. It was a great success and people loved it. It is great to have such a big support team. Good Luck!
