OK this hasn't been done in a while and I need to drop a lot of weight. Haddon is excluded because of chemo. who is in for greatest percentage of body weight dropped from Jan. 15 to March 1.

Why wait till Jan 15th. Get your ass to Buzzzardd's on the 3rd, I will bring a scale (goes to 400lbs) and we can start. Al is going to be there and wouldn't mind setting up the excel sheet (or someone else). Then we can end it March 21st at Buzzzardd's.
Everyone who is in throws 20.00 and pay out the top 3 - 1st 50%, 2nd 30%, 3rd 20%.
I'm in, past the 190 mark and getting close to 200. Usual weight around 165 and was around 145 in university. Can I post photos of my initial weigh in?
I like the timing of this. I was about to join the local fitness club this week. I'm in for $20.
Tipping the scales at 260 for now. See you at Buzzards.
I'm definitely in. Like Jimmy I'm closing in on 200 and even if it isn't enough to win, if this contest motivates me back to 170-175 it will be well worth the $20 spent.

I've been adding to my weight steadily over the last couple years......membership at the gym been unused in 2014.
Haven't weighed myself in over a year, but I'm guessing 230....but definately my fattest ever? If I can get in, will post pic of scale at gym by this weekend.

Sure, that wouldbe great! All post of the weight in will go in the other thread by midnight Jan 3rd.

he has to weigh in 3 hours earlier!
Seemed a lot funnier when I thought it then when I wrote it!
i'd consider participating but i'd want to go for a lot more money to give me the motivation i need to stop eating ridiculous amounts of garbage. something around $75 or $100 with winner take all. i'd probably even say we donate half to one of the charities we are trying to avoid needing: heart and stroke, cancer, diabetes, etc.
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
40% to winner on March 21st
40% to winner in June (I'd be willing to host a tourney)
20% to charity
Some of us only have the Christmas "add ons to lose"
I'd go in both, weigh in still the same day. g2 can handle this.
I was talking with Joe last night and this is just to kick of the New year in the right direction. The 20.00 isn't to get people rich, just something to think about.

Have to trust me if I don't make it to Buzzzarrds
Milton "Not So" Slim
we trust you, although with your game you should be at Buzzzardd's, after all the golf coarse is closed.

I can't do a Mar 21st weigh in since I'll be in Myrtle Beach for March break (additional motivation...)
My wife wants to go stay at coral beach resort in myrtle beach. It's $400 for the week. We have heard good things about it.
Do you drive and if yes, do you suggest night or day driving.
Sorry to derail thread.
Greatest % as we want Jimmy Ho in there.

entire body, not just a leg! (145??)
Milton Not so!
Get your ass here on Saturday for the weigh in. Oh, and the poker too. I guarentee, there will be lots of golf talk.

I laughed! As long as the post says Jan. 3rd 2015 I think we are good. And yes, I know you are kidding.
BTW, where are you golfing Jan. 3rd that you can't play poker?

I will go out on a limb and say I am more than twice what g2 weighs ^-^

True story: Went to Burger King last night at around 9PM, and had more than one main course.
I'm in.
Jesus wept.
What happened to us?
