"Hello Ladies!
Now, before you get all up-in-arms, take note that I've included every female in the Admissions Department to avoid: a) people feeling left out and b) poisonous glances shot at me from people that didn't feel that they qualified for the "weight-loss" email.
That being said, here's my idea:
This Monday, August 13th, 2007 will kick of the start of a three month period in which people will enter a weight-loss contest. The ending date will be November 5 th. The contest will be based on percentage of body fat lost so anyone can play! So if someone weighs 150lbs. and loses 15 lbs, that would mean that she lost 10% of her body weight. If someone weighs 180lbs, they would have to lose 18lbs to lose the same 10% of body fat.
Don't worry, we'll confidentially record everyone's beginning weight and measurements and track on a white board the # of lbs. lost each week. The camaraderie will be great motivation to help reach your goal weight and make it part of your lifestyle! Besides looking fantastic, let's talk about the extravagant reward….
To enter, you will need something that you all ask for on a daily basis… $50 application fee. C'mon, don't act like you haven't spent that in one evening at the bar. ALL of this money will go to the winners of the contest. Depending on how many people participate, we can have runners up, as well, your choice. Just think guys, if 10 people enter, that could mean $500 dollars! The money will be applied to a Visa Gift Card(s) to spend on new clothes, a weekend trip, 250 double-bacon cheese burgers, whatever you choose!
There are the ground-rules:
1) No weight-loss enhancing pills or crazy-fad diets. Weight loss should be from healthy-eating and exercise only.
2) The money is due up front. Yeah, you're not dropping out without some form of consequence. If you don't have it right now, you can write a check and it will not be cashed until the end of the three-month term.
3) No sabotaging. ie: injecting your coworker's lunch with saturated fats when they're not looking…
4) You must initially weigh-in.
Yah! What a great opportunity to help each other get motivated to lose those lbs you've gained since the wedding… I mean, what a great opportunity!
Be forewarned, I think we've got an extremely competitive bunch on our hands....."
