How to Start a Biggest Loser Challenge

The Biggest Loser is a popular television show dedicated to health and fitness. The show is mainly comprised of weekly challenges, as well as old-fashioned physical training. It also teaches its contestants healthy food choices, which helps expedite the weight loss process. To start a Biggest Loser challenge, you must take all these factors into account and abide by specific rules and regulations.

Instructions

• 1

  Contact all potential participants. These should include both weight loss skeptics as well as enthusiasts. Typically, motivation will be gained working with those who are more active.

• 2

  Set realistic weight loss goals. The Biggest Loser show is composed of professionals, thus, the amount of weight loss may not be comparable to that on the television series. Depending on the participants' lifestyle and schedule, plan the challenge's life cycle accordingly. For short-term goals, 4 to 6 weeks might be ideal, while 3 to 6 months might fit a long-term challenge.

• 3

  Organize an attractive reward system. Set a specific amount of money to be given at the end of the Biggest Loser challenge, or any other reward. The more tempting the reward, the more motivated participants are likely to remain.

• 4

  Keep track of your progress. To increase the chances of winning the Biggest Loser challenge, analyze your eating patterns, your physical schedule, and how much you have lost, if anything, during any given week. This will help you re-evaluate your current strategies and help you set new weight loss methods if necessary.

• 5

  Organize weekly weigh-ins among all participants. Ensure this occurs with the same weight scale and that everyone is present during the event.

• 6

  Use smaller rewards for each passing week or month. In turn, this helps keep all participants motivated by not losing sight of their goal. For example, present a one pound advantage every two weeks, which will be awarded to the person with the highest percentage of weight loss for that given period. At the end of the competition, that "virtual" pound will be added to the total percentage of weight loss. This advantage will make the fortunate participant a potential winner.
