    I'm in. I'm gonna do my "last supper" tonight then start my diet of carrot sticks and gum for the next 60 days. This is supposed to be fun, right?

    Cool device Steve, and tempting since I'm a gadget freak. But if I'm gonna tweet my weight, I might as well go ahead and tweet the location of all my pimples and skin tags. I think I'll stick to my wife's Linens and Things scale.

    Weekly Weigh-In Link: http://bit.ly/WLC-2012 --> the same form we've used for the past couple of years

    For the initial weight, weigh yourself anytime between May 1 (start of the WLC), and Monday, May 7. Your starting weight must be submitted by Monday, May 7, at 9:00 pm!     Going forward, the form will open for weekly input Saturday at 9am, and close Monday at 9pm. Weekly progress will be posted each Tuesday morning.

    Questions/comments?

    I have helped organize plenty of group rides in the past and would love to help if you need some.

    Personally I think a Blackstar or Maple Springs ride would be good to start with since it is essentially a road and if you are not feeling it you can always turn around:)

    Sooooo is anyone up for some "gentle" climbing this saturday? Or if a super fun fireroad doesnt grab you how about some grabbing some vertical feet in Oaks? At least that way once you are up there is lots of DH to enjoy...then you can go back up again!

    Thanks SOOOO much Jeff for helping with this every year! Thanks Dino for posting it =) Quick question. After the initial weigh-in (May 1- Monday May 7th), the NEXT (second) weigh in will be Saturday May 12 - Monday May 14, right? Just wanted to make sure I was reading that right.

    Thanks again!!! =)

    Just a reminder...

    -The contest begins tomorrow!

    -Input your (baseline) weight ONCE / ONE TIME from May 1st - May 7th!
    2012 Data Input Spreadsheet

    -If you plan on competing for prizes...
    We must have your $10 donation by no later than May 7th!
    (if we don't receive payment, your name will be moved to the "bragging rights" section)

    PRIZES:
    A revision will be made with regard to the breakdown of prizes...

    New prize breakdown:
    The competitor who loses the largest PERCENTAGE of bodyweight will take home the Grand Prize. The competitor who loses the most WEIGHT will receive the second prize. All remaining prizes will be divided between those who lost the largest PERCENTAGE of bodyweight (in descending order).

    Reasons:
    -That's the way we did it last year.
    -I made a typographical error...
    -It will give our heavier friends something to fight over.
    -A few people were not pleased that I "changed" this year's prize breakdown.

    Going to do this tomorrow morning (Tues May 1) as well. Start time of 9:00am if anyone wants to come out and suffer. The cloud cover should make this one manageable.

    Hoping I can clear the schedule for a re-deux on Friday as well. Saturdays are tough for the next few weeks until Baseball season is over.

    Two reasons why this will never work:
    1. When gaining weight one only grows wider, NOT TALLER (I'm not tall enough to get on the rides)!

    2. I'm scared of roller coasters! 170mph on a motorbike is no problem, 20mph on a roller coaster is a HUGE problem for me. LOL
