Did you know that it is much easier to get motivated to lose weight together than it is alone? Having a weight loss buddy can help a lot - but losing weight together as a group is even better. Whether with friends or with people you work with, starting a weight loss challenge adds an element of competition that naturally increases motivation.

Start the competition today! Here are a few things to keep in mind when starting a weight loss challenge.
- Put some money on the line. It's hard to find a larger motivator than money. Have everyone in the competition pay a buy-in amount and have a cash prize for the winner.
- Measure by percentage, not by weight. People of all sizes should be encouraged to compete. Recording loss by percentage will help to level the playing field.
- Keep starting and ending weights private. Most people don't want their actual weight to be public knowledge. Do what you can to keep this information private.
- Do it individually, or in teams. Sometimes it's more fun to do things as teams. Group people together to help to motivate each other and add an extra element of fun.
- Get a doctor’s note from everyone before starting. It's important that everyone involved is healthy enough to start a weight loss plan. Have all competitors check with their doctor and bring in a note.
Weight loss challenges are not only effective but fun for everyone involved. Following these steps will help to make it a success. Try it out today!
