Before you begin a weight loss contest, you should get a group of people on board. This is extremely important. When you decide to start a challenge, begin asking friends and family to figure out who has an interest and figure out what everyone is prepared to commit to. Do not forget to stay positive and make them aware it is more of a support group than a major contest. Everyone ends up dropping weight which means that there aren't any losers.
Put money on the table. We almost always require an entry fee for our competitions. Entry dues suggest you really are committed and give you additional incentive.
The fees are then used for cash payouts at the conclusion of the challenge. You can present all the cash to the person who loses the highest percentage of their starting weight or split it up how you'd like. All of the competitions I've completed were together with family or close friends and we all hope that not a single person will taken advantage of. We commonly make restrictions, for example no diet pills, surgeries or other abnormal methods. Penalty fees are often useful to get participants to weighing every week. We have had fines for not weighing in weight gain and sometimes we'll actually charge penalties for not losing.
It can be hard to keep a group of people focused on trying to lose weight for several weeks. Set milestones and near future goals and objectives. Especially with big events, it is tough to keep on being excited for several months. Recently, I had a good challenge when we set milestones for 4 and 8 weeks and if you reached the milestones, you got credited a portion of your entry fee. Groups can also help many people have a sense of obligation. Whenever you have several people who are not as driven as others and don't believe that they have the possibility to win then groups may help inspire them to keep trying to help their team. I have various family and friends who love teams because then somebody else is depending on them whereas other people don't like it for the exact same reason or because they then have to depend on others. Don't forget to talk to your participants before starting to see if teams might help.
Keep it optimistic. It usually is exhilarating to compete nevertheless make certain the trash talk remains playful and well-behaved. It doesn't help people to offend or brag excessively. Trash talking, if done politely, can help propel the more competitive types to keep working harder. Around 2 to 3 months seems to work well.
Very much more lengthy and you get exhausted and lose participants and too much shorter causes it to be very hard to see the big end results a competition can help you get. Reimburse participants for achieving goals. On a few occasions we have offered to give back penalty fees to everyone who meets their goal. Be sure everyone has a fair goal. Roughly 1 percent each week or there about is a good goal.
Prepare for a post challenge. Once the challenge ends it is normal for competitors to overeat following a couple months of sticking to your diet. To try to avoid this, do this by getting ready to begin another challenge right after the close of the first challenge. Another option is to have another short challenge to see who is able to keep it off. This allows a little relief from strict dieting but may keep the participants from gaining all of it back again immediately.
Most importantly, enjoy yourself!! I have found weight loss challenges to be quite rewarding. They satisfy many key elements of a successful weight loss plan. They provide you with commitment and responsibility and it can be very rewarding to win a few hundred dollars along the way. There is scarcely a disadvantage if you offer your best attempt. What do you have to lose apart from a few pounds? The cash you may save on eating out can go towards the entry fee.
