Fred,

Are we doing percentage or total lbs.? I'll weigh in when I get home. Thanks for helping to motivate us.

Love it Just started my annual diet on march 1st. Cool deal fred

I am 6'0 276 when I started on the 1st

I do it every year, get down to a great weight. Hunt and guide in good shape then I go to crap! Time to start getting back to a good shape

I take pictures each week of the scale. I use them as motivation for myself to keep going. I have no problems sharing them with everyone.

I would like to get down to about 230-240 I hunted last year at about 235 and had lost 45lbs to get there.

[Machias]

I think we should do percentage, that way the few really big guys like myself aren't a shoe in...even though I WANT that knife. 

Good luck guys.  Make these changes so that they are lifestyle changes and you don't have to redo all of this again next year!

 

I'm turning 49 on Friday, one year till the big 5 0.  I have to make a lifestyle change NOW!!!

Im in at 235

[Buckmark]

I'm in, need to weigh tonite,will post up the actual then,  think i am around 265

[Goldeneye]

I'll do it.  Kind of disgusted at this mornings weight.  260

  Just have a question.  Are we measuring this by plain old weight or a percentage of body mass loss.  See my two examples below.

ex 1:  Starting weight 260, Lost 30 pounds.  Final weight 230  Total weight loss 30 pounds

ex 2:  Starting weight 260 Lost 30 pounds.  Final weight 230.   230/260=  88% of original weight.  So body mass loss is 12%

[Wazukie]

I am for percentage, this will put everyone on a level playing field

[CoachNemo]

I am in either way but I have a suggestion.  Each person that says they are in, pays the winner $.25 for every pound the winner loses?  This way people stay committed.  This is obviously on the honor system and before and after photos would have to be shared at the end.

I mean if the winner loses 100 lbs, the other contestants are only out $25 but that would add up quick for the winner.

My starting weight is 276

Good idea, but I think we'll just go with the percentage this contest.

[woodswalker]

I'll second the disgusted....I started the week out at 267 this AM.  I'd like to get to mid 230s at the very least....220 is stretch goal.

I'm in.

[terrellwa]

I'm in needed the push and motivation of a challenge so let's get started.

239 for my start would like 175 so got a ways to go. 

[Austrian Hunter]

I'm 5'11".  February 2011 I was 286 lbs  .  February 2012 I was 207 lbs  .  I'm still trying to loose another 25 lbs.  It was not fun but I feel a lot better!  Actually it sucks loosing weight!
