One week ago, five members of our sales team embarked on a nine week journey that will undoubtedly change the course of their lives forever … or at least the number of courses they consume over the next couple of months.

Sam, Phillip, Jeff, Eric and Howard have answered the challenge of a “Biggest Loser” contest to kick off the new year. Our guys are very competitive, so I’m sure they will be doing their push ups and pushes away from the table in hopes of showing the greatest weight loss on a percentage basis. We will have mandatory weigh-ins every other week and I will post the results.

Have you ever been involved in a “Biggest Loser” style competition? If so, post some advice for our guys. Shouts of encouragement are also welcome.

After one week, our team has already lost a total of 13.6 pounds after a voluntary weigh-in by three of the participants. We are expecting to see a lot more in the weeks ahead. Actually, we’re hoping to see a lot less of them.
