Competition is a good thing. It inspires us to do better. Without competition, we sometimes lose our inspiration and motivation to strive harder, be stronger. But if you involve family or friends, not only do you have that extra support of people pulling you back up when you fall, whether you want to be pulled up or not. But you also have motivation to beat them silly and have the satisfaction of winning. Do the Biggest Loser family style, and compete to see who can lost the most in the shortest amount of time.
