All four of us ladies in the office where I work want to loose weight. We have decided to have a 'contest'. We are going to each put 75c in a jar each day. At the end of four months, the one of us who has lost the most weight will get the money. I don't care as much about the money as I do losing weight.

you will win if you do one thing:
change your mindset about your stomach and its function.
here it is:
we are taught that when you feel hungry you eat the slight feeling of hungry we ran and feed our faces (that's wrong)
new mind set
we you feel a little hungry - its ok not to eat - the hungry you feel is not pain - its your body finding food source other than you mouth and stomach - it begins to look in places like your hips butt and belly fat. if you eat your body will NEVER tap into those areas and you will not loses weight.
keep this in mind - when you eat you are not losing weight and could be adding weight when you feel a little hungry its ok not to eat that's a sign we are losing weight your body is reaching into other sources (hips, butt, belly fat) to feed itself.
when you do eat, choose health food, eat smaller meals more often (instead of two large meals eat 3-4 very small meals.
also as kids we were taught not to snack before meals because it will ruin our appetites - again thats wrong - you do want to ruin your appetite so eat a small health snack 15-30 minutes before eating a meal - why? because the last thing you want to do is sit down a eat a large meal and stuff yourself
eat small - eat smart

That's one of the best ideas I've heard! U get support on your diet from the ladies at work, plus u got the incentive of competition and some cash at the end, u can use it to buy all the new clothes ur gonna need :-) U can count on me to root for u! Good luck!

GOOD JOB!
It's really good that you have realized that you want/need to lose weight.
That's awesome. And it's also good that you aren't obsessing about the money.
Good luck!
p.s. I am rooting for you.
