Who doesn't love a little controversy? You can thank us folks down here in FL for the fact you and probably most people you know (voters at least) know what a 'hanging chad' is. And since my situation with OTF is obviously comparable to holding up a Presidential election I thought I'd throw it in. I mean we are talking about physical fitness here and I think some of those Palm Beach County voters could use a little working out. How hard is it to push the button hard enough to fully release the 'chad'? If you've read my OTF updates under week 2 you know what controversy I'm talking about. Given my agreement to adjust my initial weight, and no one else in the competition adjusting their initial weights, there's room for controversy. Since 'weight' and the percentage one loses is the core of this challenge, I could have called 'shenanigans' on the whole deal and the other 50 some people who had motivated themselves to enter this thing would have been informed the challenge was canceled. That would have caused some controversy! We agreed I had lost 15 lbs, we settled on a new weigh in amount, 15 + 276 = 291. I was informed that I am currently in first place. No one else even lost double digit weight. That's all well and good but the only day first place means anything is final weigh in. After over a week of being motivated, working hard and changing A LOT of things in my life, this stir up isn't what I needed. I don't get mad often, rarely actually, since anger is a good motivator that's exactly what I plan to do with this situation. Put in the time, stick to the plan I have all ready laid out, and post big weight loss numbers every week. Leaving no room for controversy at final weigh in.
