I signed up for an “Extreme Shapeover” contest at my gym today. The idea is to lose as much (excess) body fat as possible in the next 6 weeks or so. There are various activities, and you get your BMI (body mass index) measured at the start and end. I just wish they’d announced this when I first started to get into shape — I’ve wasted 14 BMI points or so getting into shape already that could have gone towards prizes, dammit! You participate as a team as well as individually. Hopefully I’ll get stuck on a team of really motivated fatties.
