4. Percent of weight loss goal achieved (be serious and have a challenging goal!).

Post your New Year starting data between Jan. 1st, and Jan. 4th by midnight Pacific Time. I realize that early birds will get a head start but I want to make sure we can catch everyone that returns from the holidays and those guys who only read and post during work hours (!).

Starting data needed (if you want to compete in all categories)

Screen name.
Starting weight in pounds.
Body height in feet/inches (required for BMI competition)
Weight loss goal in pounds.



Post your data every two weeks by Monday night midnight. I will compile the data and announce rankings every two weeks. Final weigh in is on Monday March 29 before midnight Pacific Time.

Bonus points for body and scale and other pictures for documentation, even if the starting ones are kind of gross.

And last but not least, I will reserve the right to continue with a "keeping the weight off" competition after March 29, where we assure no yoyos by continuing to weigh in. Also expect a holiday competition next year to see who puts on the least over the holidays.

George
OK, I approached maximum density over the holidays. I'm in.

Looks like I'll be signing up for dance lessons with the wife plus am training to do my first 5k run. If I don't lose the weight I'm hoping to lose even after taking part in the activities, I may be pregnant.

An earth punishing 328lbs (yea, I'm huge)
Short term goal by March 29th - 290lbs
Long term goal - 220lbs

You're on!

My Body Fat % is 23% today and I'm 39 as of November

As an aside, I was 244# on 7-July..... Hopefully the last 25 will go easier than the first 34.....

Good luck!

starting weight: 262lbs
Age: 42
Height: 6' 2"
Goal: -30

The first few lbs should be easy; I was on an exercise regimen @ work, but I had 2 weeks off and kind went to seed a bit.

Taking part in a New Year's "Paleo challenge" at my gym. I don't have much weight to lose but some stubborn belly chubbiness..

No bread, no pasta, no rice or potatoes. And tons less beer. Basically cutting back drastically on the carbs.

I eat pretty good already, we shall see..
