Happy Friday,
I saw a funny article today in the New York Times and initially thought it was ridiculous, but the more I thought about it…it just might be what some need.
Need a motivating factor to lose weight? Try betting on it. Diet betting is definitely becoming more popular among friends, relatives and co-workers…
“A study in the December issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people who had financial incentives to lose weight were much more successful at dieting than those who did not.”

“The site has more than 23,000 users, the highest percentage of whom (42 percent) have commitment contracts for losing weight. The site takes credit card information up front and charges your card weekly if you fail to meet your goal.” Like I said this concept seemed crazy to me initially, but I do feel that losing money can be a major incentive to stick with a plan.

Do you want to set up a challenge with friends, family or co-workers? It has been over a year since we did the Total Transformation Contest here at Optimal Fitness Lifestyle Center, but if there is enough interest we will do it again. In the past, the entry fee was $200, $100 went towards pre & post photos & body composition testing, the other $100 went into the pot for the winner. If there were 50 people, the winner would receive $5000. How many of you are interested in doing this challenge? If you are up for it, leave a comment below.
Now, if you want to win the challenge, check out our 90 Day Optimal Fitness Lifestyle Challenge Program, where I will be personal coaching you weekly on exactly what you need for weight & fat loss success. I am so confident that this program will create results in 90 days, you will receive 50% of your money back if you do not achieve 15-24 pounds of weight loss. Besides weight & fat loss, it is very common to sleep better, improve digestion (no more bloating and gas) and have more energy. In addition, many are able to get off medications because they achieve balance with their STRESS once again.
