Absolutely, just post your weight current weight in red and get started.

[MLHSN]

Are we suppose to post updates at certain times?

[boneaddict]

The thought process is about having a weekly weigh in for progress and motivation.    NOT necessary or is not a requirement

[Elkrunner]

Definitely not necessary. I personally think I may do it about every 3 weeks.

Was running behind this a.m. - almost bagged on packing food for the day.  Timed myself, it took 8 minutes to put this together, including washing and cutting celery, cutting leftover grilled pork loin in 200 cal portions, and bagging pork, celery and pickles - and taking a cell phone picture

got the same crap KC.  Coughing so much you feel like you have been in a work out.

[Kc_Kracker]

For those with cold/coughs here is a home remedy if you want to try it.  Both of my kids are coughing like crazy and I just got this into them tonight.  They have been at their dads.  I know garlic is an amazing immune booster and fights all kinds of things.  Crush up a clove and eat it in a spoonful of applesauce or something if your really brave and want to beat a cold/flu.  Also, apple cider vinegar is very good for you also.  Just some ideas if anyone is interested.   

1/2 c. Raw Honey
Half a lemon
2 fresh garlic cloves- don't use the pre-minced stuff. It's lost its strong medicinal properties.
a chunk of fresh ginger
2 teaspoons of powdered turmeric.
2 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch of black pepper (Just a pinch has an amazing effect on your body's ability to metabolize and absorb turmeric. Black pepper increases your body's ability to absorb turmeric by 2000%. That's not a typo! Two-thousand percent.)
 
Fill a small jar halfway with raw honey. Raw honey has active enzymes, 'good' bacteria, and tons of other beneficial stuff that normal, pasteurized grocery store honey doesn't have. Squeeze the lemon half into the honey and stir. Crush the garlic cloves. You don't want to pulverize them, or you'll end up with little bitty chunks floating around in the honey...just crush them one good time, to start the enzyme reactions in the cloves. I like to whack the cloves of garlic with the side of my meat tenderizer mallet, and I do the same thing to the ginger. Drop them into the honey and stir. Stir in the spices. Store this in the fridge, because the cold feels good on hot, scratchy throats.
 
How to take it:
Take a spoonful as needed, avoiding the chunks of garlic and ginger unless you just really like the taste of garlic. And it is all food so no medicinal overdose to worry about.

So I'm back in the saddle after the first.  How do you register for the competition?  Is it based on TOTAL weight lost or Percentage to starting weight?  Any info would be great without having to sift through 15 pages...

[Machias]

I put it all on Page one, first entry.  No registering, just put you starting weight in red and we will track it.  Total % wins.  Jump right in!

Ok 221 was my starting weight last Tuesday, as of this morning 219
