We're starting a pre-season Opera Biggest Loser at the office - weighing in once a week and only "publicly" sharing bodyweight percentages lost

Depends. Is this about losing the weight or beating everyone else?

[thespisgeoff]

It's always about winning. =)

[eclipse77x]

It's not winning if you cheat.

[thespisgeoff]

It's not cheating. I'll just be...unusually thirsty that day. =)

[ohberon]

It's only winning when everyone else loses!!!

Hah. Awesome.

[giogio]

Isn't that cheating?

[thespisgeoff]

only if you tell on me.

it's not cheating - it's playing the game.

There's no such thing as cheating if it helps you win...

*begin excessively rational mode*
If they're talking raw poundage, that's unfair to everyone. It should be percentage-based to equalize the field.

That said, loading up on water for the weigh-in will only make your initial losses suspect. These people are too dramatic for that.

We're using percentages to track against each other - and against our goals. Mine's at an easy 6% over 8 weeks - 11 pounds or so.

I like excessive rationality.

Eat bananas, then water-load. You'll be uncomfortably bloated, but have lots of water weight.
