The Weight-Loss Showdown Update

Friday, July 9th, 2010

We’re about 2/3 of the way through our weight-loss showdown and I wanted to give an update on our progress. Just as a reminder of what we’re doing… Jim (me) and Jason, two of the minds behind Shrinking, decided to have a little weight-loss contest, Biggest Loser-style. The winner gets $100 and will be determined by the biggest percentage weight-lost on July 31, 2010.

Here’s where we are. I have lost about 4.4% and Jason has lost 3.03%. I’m definitely in the lead at the moment, but anything can happen in the last 3 weeks. We’re both really excited with our progress and hope to see those number keep improving.

You can follow us both on Twitter and we appreciate any encouragement you can give us. Our Twitter accounts are @jimlast and @i_am_hardy.

Weight-Loss Showdown

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Jim (Twitter: @jimlast) and Jason (Twitter: @i_am_hardy), two of the creators or Shrinking, have decided to have a weight-loss contest, Biggest Loser-style. We have set the following groundrules for the competition.

  1. Contest starts today, May 25, and ends on July 31.
  2. Highest percentage weight-lost between the dates is the winner.
  3. Winner receives an awesome prize (to be determined).

We will post progress updates every couple of weeks. We need all of the encouragement and help that we can get, and we’ll be using Shrinking to track our progress every step of the way. So feel free to contact us and give us support, ask questions, or anything else you want to talk with us about.
