Weight Loss Contest at Work

November 13, 2007 | By Joel Dehlin | 2 Comments

Almost a year ago, I posted on a contest that a friend of mine at work started in order to help people lose weight. Mark Barsocchini reminded me in the comments to that post that I never closed the loop.

The contest lasted 3 months.
105 people started the contest but only 38 survived to the end.
The group lost 1123 pounds!!
The person who lost the most lost 61 pounds.
8 people beat Tadd, even though Tadd personally lost 39 pounds.

You can see some of details here. What a great contest!!

How long did the weight loss last?

[Joel: It depends on the person. It’s a good idea to ask Tadd to check back and see how well people are keeping the weight off…]
