i'm surprised i'm not bigger than all of you but i'm in the top 5 probably :)
i won't be at buzzards but i can arrange something with jimmyho or one of the other guys who know me and want to do this for more $$$.
for a 2.5-month challenge, I'm pretty sure I could lose 20+% of my body weight, given the motivation. i've done it before. a few times... the problem with a short challenge, though, is most will put the weight back on, and then some. i'd suggest something closer to a 6-month challenge. the person that wins that has a good chance to keep the weight off for the long term.
I'd consider participating for $100 as well.
Maybe something like this...
40% to winner on March 21st
40% to winner in June (I'd be willing to host a tourney)
20% to charity
