And remember boys & girls.... For every 10 lbs. we lose it's like adding 1 horsepower to our P-cars.

I tried weighing myself this morning. I can't get a true reading with this big ass bandage on my knee and cloths. I can take the bandage off Monday. Will weigh myself then and post or beg off.

Starting today (what idiot would start a diet on New Years day? ) and was at 245.2....

Now it gets hard. Course I had to finish up the black eyed peas and cornbread for b-fast. Am heading out of town on Wed so cleaning out the fridge is the order of the day.

Ok, we have 17 signed up so far for a total weight loss goal of 385.6 pounds - the average goal is about 10 percent weight loss. With the late sign ups I think we'll be able to lose about a quarter ton!

George

You can still weigh in until midnight on Monday. If that doesn't work, weigh yourself with the bandage on Monday and let me know what the bandage weighed after it is off. We'll correct the start weight.

Cheers, George

Good luck everyone. I'm not joining this time but will be cheering you on from the side lines. I was at 210 at the start of the last Pelican biggest loser. I am currently under 200 and staying there. Just chipping it off a little at a time.
