Contest is only for those who are dedicated to losing weight. If you're wishy-washy about it, don't enter. If you're embarrassed about posting your weight for others to see, you don't want to lose weight bad enough and need not enter. Liberals, Republicans, Communist,....doesn't matter. If you truly are wanting to lose weight you're welcome to participate
Contest rules:
1.) 3 month contest starting today. Total lbs lost will determine winners. End date Nov 12.
2.) Anyone can enter at anytime. Get a head start and enter now.
3.) As last year, this will be done using the honor system. If you want, post a picture of your weight while on your scale.
4.) I can't win my own prize money but can win bragging rights.
Prizes
1st - $200 2nd - $100 3rd - $50
Prize money will double if total weight loss by all participates meets or exceeds 500 lbs

Is total lbs the right way to determine a winner? What about % lost compared to body weight. I am 6'3 and 200lbs. If I lose 15lbs, I will look like a stick. I need to lose about 5.
BTW, GREAT IDEA and you deserve an atta boy for doing this.

Last year at this time when we did this This morning I still have about 70lbs to go. I have been trying to stick with the the Primal blueprint diet. It has been slow going but this is all based off diet and no real exercise other than work.

Way too go bud!
I remember you struggled a bit last year so it's good to see you lost weight and kept it off.

Starting weight - 268.7 You may remember that I did OK during last year's contest, too. Lost 25 lbs and took 3rd place. I held my new weight pretty well until the holidays, then a change at work had me driving a desk and I've been gaining slowly ever since. Of the 25 I lost I've put back on about 20. I'm in and I'll post an official start weight later this morning.

Yes! Good job Amax. Keeping it off is as important if not more than getting it off.
I'm in....again. I think I'm in about the same boat as you Rex. I'll weigh in tonight after I take my wife out to dinner for our anniversary. The anniversary is tomorrow, but we'll do the little out to dinner thing tonight.
Thanks for doing this again, Rex. It makes the oft times unpleasant task of cutting the lard much more interesting and fun.

Yeah, I remember you did well.
You were a big help to myself and I'm sure others with your positive attitude.

I'm in. I need to lose some weight before elk season anyway and this will give me the encouragement. I'd rather have the weight in a pack than packed around my middle. Post photos by tonight.
