How can I get out of Biggest Loser Challenge at work?

in April 2012 Moms

Everyone knows I was trying to lose weight (prior to BFP). Today they are starting up a biggest loser challenge.

Anyone have a good excuse I can use to get out of it?

ETA: Obviously I am not annoucing at work yet...

    When are you planning on telling?  Could you join and then fake it for a while?

    Do you actually work out together or is the challange just in the weigh ins?  If you don't work out together then just stay in the program and act really disappointed when you don't lose weight?  It'd only be until the 2nd trimester (assuming you tell them then) and they'll understand why you didn't lose any of it!

    If they expect you to work out with them then tell them you just joined a gym that's really expensive and your H would kill you if you didn't go? 

    Hope one of those helped :)

    I don't really want to join and fake it because 1) it is $50 to join, and 2) they are doing weigh-ins in the office. UGH!

    We aren't planning on announcing until at least 10 weeks.

    Since it costs money can you use that as an excuse?  Say that you've been trying hard to pay off student loans or that DD needs new clothes or something like that.

    Maybe just try the old "Thanks but no thanks"? Or tell them you're already in a biggest loser contest with other (make believe) friends.

    This is exactly what I was going to recommend.. tell them you are already doing one and are financially committed to it...

    I would just use the cost as the excuse.

    I say join and fake it. You'll probably be eating healthier, so it will be easy to fake. Plus, it could make for a fun work reveal if you are close to your cowworkers once you decide it is time.

    Are you one that is still nursing?  If so, I would say you don't want to pay $50 when it's impossible to lose while nursing.  If not, I'd use the money excuse.

    YES! Thank you! This is actually something they will believe!

    Thanks, everyone!
