Proper attire at weigh in is critical. Please bring tight shorts and a tight t-shirt, a bathing suit or some other clothing that will best allow us to evaluate your before and after pictures. Think "biggest looser" weigh-in.

Classes are $5 (non-refundable) and payment is due at sign up. Movies are $2 and all money is donated to a local charity that will be announced on the 1st of January.

We are pleased to welcome Health Coaches of Portland to our list of collaborators this year. For more information on Health Coaches visit www.health-coaches.com

WEIGH OUT 2011 - Not rescheduled due to snow

2011-03-30T11:36:00.000-07:00

Dear Competitors in Dr. Lou's 2011 Weight Loss Challenge,

The weigh out is on Friday April 1, 2011. As you know we are expecting snow that day.
It is our intent to follow through with weighing people out from 9am - 10:30. We will have news crews and other reporters in and out of the office on Friday and it is important that we not reschedule Friday's event. We also have our panel of Judges deciding on the "greatest transformation" category later Friday morning. We should have the winner(s) by 1pm on Friday.

If you are worried about the storm or have to come from great distance, you may weigh out Wednesday or Thursday before the official weigh out.

If you have any questions please call 774-6251.
If you want updates on the status of the weigh out on Friday, return to this site.

Class tonight is Canceled

2011-03-01T07:24:00.000-08:00

"Your Brain and Weight Loss" has been canceled for tonight, March 1, 2011.
Please call 774-6251 if you have any questions.

The 2 month mark.

The 2 month mark is a notable one for our weight loss challenge. By now the majority of the people who have signed up have given up. If you are still pushing forward, pat yourself on the back and know that your competition is falling away like icicles from your gutters on a sunny march day! If you are one of the people who has lost inspiration I have a suggestion for you. Get Help. It is not too late to join us for our classes or to consult with us privately. It is never too late to make a massive change and there is still plenty of time to accomplish your goals for this challenge.

Challenges, Sportsmanship and Adulthood.

2010-04-05T08:18:00.000-07:00

Dr. Lou's Weight loss Challenge is a competition. For some it is a competition with themselves, for some with the other participants. Either way as adults we should accept responsibility for our performance. Being a competition, there will be winners and losers. Just like in kindergarten kick ball games, one team won, the other lost. We learned back then to enjoy the game, have fun and if you lose, try harder next time. Shake the hands of the members of the other team and say "good game". I have received a few correspondences that have been rather shocking. Grown adults disappointed that they did not win and blaming everyone but themselves. The winner was the winner because he did the best job. I understand that everyone tried really hard but the winner is not chosen based on effort, the winner is chosen based on results. Try harder next time. The results were close. There were a number of people within ten pounds of winning or an extra couple trips to the gym each week.

Here is my recommendation. Win next year. Have a great attitude and recognize that losing weight and getting in shape adds years to your life and will save you tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your life. I understand that many of you wanted to win the money. The $2k pales in comparison to the money you'll save on healthcare. Those of you who weighed in last Friday did incredible jobs. I am sorry that not everyone can win money, but you all won if you think about the positive changes that took place over the past three months.

I put on this challenge every year to help people. Just to help people. As we were told as children, "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." If the idea of not winning is too crushing a concept for you to handle, choose another reason to compete, like getting healthy or don't compete at all.

I sincerely regret if you were one of the folks who feels that the results were not fair or cannot find any good that has come out of the process for you. But the numbers don't lie and neither do the pictures.

The majority of you had wonderful attitudes and I thank you for your sportsmanship and commitment to the cause, not the money.

2010-04-03T07:08:00.000-07:00

The winner of Dr. Lou's 2010 weight loss challenge is Ed Oakes Jr.!

Ed lost over 50 lbs and over 19% of his total starting body weight.

Like winners of the past, Ed undeniably won both categories to secure the entirety of the winnings.

I would like to thank and congratulate all of the participants in this years challenge. You all did an amazing job. Stay tuned for pictures, a list of the top 10 finishers and other exciting news!

And the winner.......

2010-04-02T15:09:00.000-07:00

.........The winner will be called tomorrow morning at 10 am sharp.

Great work all of you! I was impressed beyond words with your results.

WOW!

2010-04-02T11:00:00.000-07:00

We finished weighing the record number of people who showed up to weigh out at 1pm. I've never been as impressed as I am this year. I was blown away by people's results. Everyone that weighed out clearly tried very hard and the effort put in, paid off.

The top 5 finishers lost a total of 226.6 lbs.

The top 10 finishers lost a total of 377.4 lbs.

There are six pack abs that are no longer hidden and single chins where once there were three.

Most people had to bring a change of clothes because their weigh in clothes were falling off their bones.

The winner has not yet been determined but they will be contacted as soon as the numbers are done being calculated this evening.

Great work everybody!

STRESS: Portrait of a Killer

Fat Analyzer

2010-02-21T17:28:00.001-08:00

Dr. Lou's weight loss challenge has recently purchased a fat loss analyzer. Come in to find out your percentage of body fat & BMI.

The Omron fat analyzer is surprisingly accurate. My BMI was calculated at my annual checkup and the machine was exactly right.

Call to schedule a time to check your numbers! The test takes less than 10 minutes.

Uh Oh, I smell February & it stinks

2010-02-08T17:17:00.000-08:00

February is here and it looks like history is repeating itself.

Every year people start to fall apart in February. Last Thursday Erin McCall gave a fantastic talk. The list of participants was HUGE. Class was full- on paper.

1/2 of the people who signed up, showed up.

This is unfortunate. Now is not the time to slack off, fall off the wagon or lose sight of the goal of this challenge. LOSE WEIGHT, GET HEALTHY AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER. Whether you are doing it for the money or not, there is still over $2,000 on the line!

It's not too late to recommit if you are slipping. Call me and I will help.

If you are scheduled for a class. Come. If you are not, call (207) SPINAL 1 and get on the list.

~Dr. Lou

2010-01-08T19:39:00.000-08:00

oops, the actual prize money is $2,050. I guess that's why I'm a doctor and not a mathematician.

$2,000

2010-01-07T19:55:00.000-08:00

With $2,000 in prize money, it's time to get fired up! Good luck to all and I'll see you Monday night. Dr. Lou's weight loss challenge is closed for weigh ins and the race is on. If your friends missed their chance to join, we are already planning 2011 to be even bigger than this year!

Weigh-in Alternative dates

2010-01-01T20:21:00.000-08:00

Due to an overwhelming concern about the weather Dr. Lou's weight loss challenge will be offering alternative dates for weighing in. Those who choose to weigh in late will be at a disadvantage to those who weigh in today, January 2nd.

You may weigh in anytime between January 4th and January 7th. You must come in between 9 and 1 or 3-6. Other than the weigh in time, all other rules remain the same. There are even fewer excuses than before. If not now, when?

Get ready to get skinny.
