The Biggest Loser Board

I am launching a biggest loser challenge at work on April 1. All your ideas are appreciated.
So far I am posting the worste take out like from favorite resturaunts. There is a 100 and 5o$ prize for the winners. We have a 2&5K marathon on April 26 which I have 10 dedicated memebers. It is my hope this will kick off with a bang. I have excluded myself from the money but not from leading this challenge.
Come on, who knows more about this than us?

How long will your challange last? almost every restuarant has a good food choice, so maybe you could list GOOD take out choices from local restaurants. Do you have a lunch hour? Maybe you could start a walking group at lunch time.

Or reminders for drinking water thorughout the day.

Good Luck.

Bobby- My work has a Biggest Loser challenge too. It works like this: Anyone can participate. It runs for 12 weeks. Everyone who wants to join pays $5 per week (they give their $60 up front, and it's non-refundable). Everyone weighs in with the "leader". All the weights are private. Only pounds lost get posted. They can weigh in as often as they like and use any diet they want. At the end of the challenge, the winner gets all but $100 (that goes to the second place winner). The pot of money is usually pretty big, so it's a great incentive. We don't have any organized events though, I like that you do! Hope that helps. :)
