In the NBC show “The Biggest Loser,” 18 contestants compete for a grand prize of $250,000. Each week, these contestants face food temptations, rigorous workouts and weigh-ins under the supervision of professional trainers. Why has this show been successful in helping overweight men and women lose hundreds of pounds? These factors make “The Biggest Loser” a success:
Begin with motivated people
Have a daily meal plan
Participate in a fitness program
Connect with others who need to lose weight
Be accountable to a trainer
Guess what? You don’t have to be on television to do these things. You can do them at home with your family, your friends, even your co-workers. My friend did a biggest loser contest at work for one month. Everyone put $25 in the pot and the winner took all.
Interested in leveraging your competitive side to help you lose weight faster? Start your own biggest loser contest by setting the stage:
1. Decide who will participate. Compete against one person or form teams. You and a partner can go against another duo, or you could have teams as large as you like.
2. Set a time limit. Will the competition last for 4 weeks? 8 weeks? 12 weeks?
3. Offer a great prize. What will the winner(s) get? Cash is always good… whoever participates can contribute $25. If you don’t want to use money, you can always offer free babysitting, meals, or house cleaning.
4. Have weekly weigh-ins. Keep each other accountable and push for success together.
Making losing weight a game introduces healthy competition, a goal to strive for, bonuses and incentives, and the list goes on.
