The biggest loser....

Chat snippet

We are playing a work version of the TV show Biggest Loser ( http://www.nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser_5/ ). In which contestants compete against one another to see who can lose the most weight. In our contest, we have six people competing, whose weights range from 64Kg to 132Kg. They consist of NYC/Boston marathon runners, to avid outdoorsmen/mountain bikers, to a professional competitive eater, who has won the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. The prize to the winner who after 8 weeks has lost the largest % of his/her body weight is $300. It was a $50 buy in for each contestant…..winner take all!!

For the weigh in last week everyone tried to bulk up eating burgers and fries for 1 week prior and then switched to drinking loads of water just before the official time to weigh in. The weigh-in was delayed, so the water intake back-fired on a few, because their inflated bladders couldn’t handle the pressure and were forced to make a pit stop before standing on the scale.

In the first week, everyone decreased their weight, the range was from .25 Kg to 2 Kg. The next week will be even more difficult and as shown by the chat log below, some contestants have literally taken things into their own hands and are doing anythign to win this contest.
