Wednesday's Inspiration from BOCON P

Make the decision, then do something - no matter how small - toward accomplishing what you want.

Persevere and you will win the prize.

You get whatever you settle for.

Your past does not equal, nor does it dictate, your future.

A great philosopher once said, "This is the last time you will see this number"....let's hope he's right!  Good Luck!

This weekend

I'm just going to warn everyone that you may see me in multiple restaurants filling my face with fatty, greasy food the weekend before the challenge. So when I weigh in on Monday in my spandex, I will look like a bag of wet oatmeal under my shirt..but in a couple months I'll be chiseled baby!

RULES for CSBLC

Greetings participants. Here are a few ground rules that will be guiding our competition.
  • The first weigh-in will be April 25. Try to come in during your lunch time, and at least before the end of the day. Personal weight will remain anonymous (I promise). Please be consistent with your attire on weigh in days. For example, if you weigh in on the first day with your shoes on, you will be weighing in with shoes on throughout the competition.
  • Money needs to be paid by April 29, $25 per person.
  • No one will be eliminated from the competition :)
  • Weigh-ins will be held every Monday to track progress and provide motivation.
  • A weigh-in will be held on the last calendar school day (June 3). The person who has the highest percentage weight loss up to this point will receive their $25 entry fee back. This provides incentive to have a good start to the competition!
  • After June 3rd, you will be left on your own to maintain the progress you have achieved.
  • In August (date not set, will depend on when our first day back is) we will have the final weigh in and the Cultural Studies Biggest Loser will be announced and receive his or her reward.
  • Everyone will be a winner in the end as long as you make a consistent effort to improve your health!
  • Good luck!

Welcome to the Challenge!

If you are reading this blog, you have recieved Dylan's email and are ready to join us for a little competition.  We have created this blog for us to document our progress.

We encourage you to make posts, upload photos, videos clips etc., so we can stay connected and continue with our efforts throughout the summer.   Additionally, if you come across any interesting weight loss tips, recipes, etc. the blog is a place to share it with the group.  We hope this blog will be a place for us to individually share progress and motivate each other.   

Looking forward to weeks of friendly competition!

P.S. Check with Ben during lunch on Monday for your first weigh-in!
