Weight Loss Comp-- Need Help

[whiskeytails]

My work is having a weight loss competition and final weigh in is next Wed. I am in third place at the moment and hoping to win $50. 2nd gets $50 and 1st gets $150.

I'd really like to place and win some cash. What tips do you have for final weigh-in so I can get the edge?

Avoid anything extremely salty a couple days prior.....as you don't want to hold extra water if you don't need to. Also, if you can workout prior to weighing in that will help shed extra water weight as well.

Thanks for the tips. I was thinking about working out that morning, but I wasn't sure if that would help or hinder.

I would not eat or drink anything the morning before the weigh-in and preferably not after 6pm or so the night before. This always made a big difference in my weigh-ins.

If you have access to a steam room, sit in that for 20 min before weigh in.

Don't work out morning of, it could cause you to retain water.

I would say do cardio the morning of, but no lifting/strength training. A good cardio workout always gets me my lowest weight of the week.
