Has anyone tried using a weight-loss contest to lose weight? I know a bunch of people who are having great results as they compete to win Bowflex home gyms, Treadclimbers, gym memberships, weight-loss hypnosis, PCGamerbikes and more. It's a national contest that people are participating in from wherever they live, through the internet.

There is something about having an outside prize. I don't know why our own fitness isn't prize enough, but it seems like we tend to do better when there is that added motivation.

I know that many companies also do weight-loss contests for their employees. Are any of you in those competitions?
 
Im not but I support anything that gets and keeps people motivated to live a healthier lifestyle.
 
From a purely personal point of view, extrinsic motivation doesn't work for me. Over time, I would lose interest.
