Let's make this funner.
- Starting and ending photos! The grosser the better!
- Pretty graphs of each contestant's loss!
- Prizes! We have all year to think of some. I'll contribute.

Last year, I co-ran this with George and I didn't lose an ounce during the contest period. I think that, had there been the carrot (prize), the stick (ending photo), ongoing reinforcement (down sloping graph), and plenty of time for us slow starters, why, I would have come in second! To! Last!
