At Sawtooth, we love food. So much so that on January 4th, coming out of our post holiday eating comas, we initiated our third installment of “The Biggest Loser: Sawtooth.” The stakes are much higher this time around…so high that if we aren’t talking about work, we are talking weight-loss strategies for our 12 week competition. Thankfully, the candy that used to be everywhere is now replaced with grapes, bananas and other yummy healthy food.
Our scale here is a little funky and is never consistent, so our rule is you get to use the best of three weights in your Monday weigh-in. Yes, Monday. This way we control ourselves over the weekend (in theory). Here are some other interesting diet tricks amongst the 12 competitors:
• Strip down to the lightest clothes you possibly have for weigh in
• “I can eat anything if it’s before noon.”
• “If you’re hungry, eat an egg.”
• MiraLAX is a miracle maker.
Recently, under the guise of gamesmanship, inter-office mailing of chocolate éclairs has begun. Needless to say, mouths were drooling, but not one was eaten. With just 11 days left until the April 1st final weigh in, we’re all just waiting to see what everyone has up their sleeves to win (for instance, I’ve been denied a personal day 3/31). Check back here 4/1 for the low-down on the final weigh-in!
