This year my husband participated in not one, but TWO Biggest Loser competitions at his office. The first was mostly girls and informal but he had great success losing close to 30 pounds. The second was testosterone filled and fueled with a $2K prize pot. Again, he managed to shed many pounds and placed second in the largest percentage of body fat lost category. The Miss Congeniality of weight loss competitions.
Erik has radically changed his lifestyle and eating habits. I mean, this is guy who used to order a Budweiser with a whiskey back, hours before the porterhouse. He's moved from a bigger Don Draper to somewhat of a Lance Armstrong without the spandex and while keeping his testicles intact. The chicken wing lover survived on veggie burgers and egg whites and popcorn. Last weekend he finished a 5K and then came back around to cheer me on lagging many minutes behind.
So yeah, I'm very concerned we might be looking like a "10". I've always had a fear of being in a Jack Sprat kind of relationship. I'm going to set my sights on us becoming an "11". In the meantime behold his before and after.

WOW! I am so impressed! I left a comment for him. He looks like a different guy. $1000 bucks can really motivate.
Congrats to your husband for his weight loss. That's huge! Pun intended. I've always wondered if employers provided a monetary incentive along with gym membership and nutritional education that this would significantly help more people become healthier. An employee encourages his/her spouse, children and so on. In truth, $1000 is a drop in the bucket for most employers when compared to higher premiums, lost productivity from absences, etc.
