This year we are starting a Biggest Loser contest that will run from today (January 16, 2008) until the week before MMS 2008 (April 21, 2008).  We may even do this annually.

Prizes will be awarded at the myITforum.com Party at MMS 2008.  Winners of the contest will receive a free party pass in addition to the awards at the party. 

Next steps:

1. Be honest!  Enter your current BMI (http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/), along with your current clothing sizes.  You will be required to weigh in at the myITforum.com party.

2. Post about your plan for losing weight.  Tell us things like if you're following a plan from a book, from an exercise program, a personal trainer, or even if you have developed a plan of your own.

3. Post back your results weekly.  Post information about things like how well you are keeping up with your plan, if you switched plans and why, your weight and/or fat loss, how easy or hard it is, and if you've traded clothing sizes.

4. Chat with others on the forum to get incentives and to put the heat on those who are trailing.  Make this a contest!

BTW: You do have to be present at MMS 2008 to win a prize.  If you are not able to attend MMS 2008, you can still participate.  The ultimate benefit is losing and weight and getting healthy!  And, then maybe you can attend MMS 2009!

Good luck!  I hope to see you at MMS 2008 and I wish you all a healthy lifestyle!
