Oh boy oh boy! So reality shows are always interesting when the competitive side comes out, right? HA!

We have a competitive group alright! We did a complete fitness assessment for every contestant on New Years Day. A few of the contestants didn't catch that this was what we had planned, so they weren't exactly dressed for exercise. Not necessarily a strategy, but potentially a problem for establishing starting weight. But that isn't the worst of it, I've found out from our training team that some people were resistant to weigh in, some kept shoes on and heavy sweat shirts or clothing on, and someone had coin rolls in pockets.

Obviously we need a redo! Last year we used the weigh in weight from the First Wednesday as our starting weight and it looks like that will be our process this year too. The point is to have a fair and accurate number that everyone logs on the same day. We can't use a weigh in that people were "padding" the numbers to get an advantage.

nice try though...
