The Metro Community News offers this interesting report...
It started as a bet between two friends and ended with results that changed both of their lives for the better.
Twenty weeks ago, Kyle Brent and Dominick Ciliberto made a bet. The two friends would go out for lunch each day.
“We were both at a point where we wanted to loose weight,” said Brent.
He said he remembered telling Ciliberto one day, “Put your money where your mouth is.” And the next day the two agreed to compete in a weight loss competition, where the prize was $1,000. That money would go to the winner’s charity of choice.
“I was getting to the point where I didn’t want to make the jump to the next jean size,” said Brent. “The bet was motivation.”
For the first 10 weeks of the competition the two would weigh-in weekly. However, they didn’t for the last 10-weeks, leaving how much each had lost a mystery to the other person.
“That’s what it took,” said Ciliberto. “A little competition between the two of us.”
The two were amazed by the results when they weighed in last week. On April 13, the two got onto the scale in front of family and friends. Ciliberto learned he had lost a total of 49 pounds or 20.84 percent of his body weight. Brent went next, learning he had lost 51 pounds or 20.3 percent of his body weight.
Though it was a close competition, Ciliberto was victorious. Brent presented Ciliberto with a check for $1,000 to be donated to his charity of choice, the Ronald McDonald House. Ciliberto returned the gesture, by donating $500 to Brent’s charity, Relay for Life.
