    There should be some rule against us winners from last year...any weight gained from the 'win weight' should not be allowed for our required start weight.

    Anything above that should be our 'handi-cap'...I have a bit of one (or a couple lbs +) - but I'm in!

    Woohoo! Thanks Dino and Jeff! Man it's going to be hard with a week-long cruise in the middle of it but it will keep me in check on the ship. Anyone else wanna go for the ultimate prize of never having to compete in a weight loss challenge again? I keep saying that every year I need to win that! Having others go for that ultimate prize will help, accountability is key.

    P.S. I have some REALLY good healthy recipes/pics to share this year! Will we posting all that stuff (recipes/motivation/encouragment) in this thread once the challenge starts?

    I'm in it to lose it...I mean...YEAH, that's it!

    Seriously, I'm officially in. And thanks for putting this together again, Dino.

    And to any Long Beach folks, I do an early morning road ride every Tuesday and Thursday (15-20 miles), so if you're interested in joining the Long Beach Asphalt Assassins (TM), let me know.
