Those wanting to help:

i think brownie wants to lose another 2oz

 

I tried it last year but school just ruined me. I'm so close to graduation that I think this is now a good option.

 

Guess i'm in... Fatty needs to pedal some of this off. Payment sent... need to post our weigh in?

 

In! ...and Paid!

Jeff you have money!

 

You won't be allowed to weigh-in until May 1st (at the earliest). I will post the link for the Data Input Spreadsheet on May 1st as well. I will also send-out weekly weigh-in reminders to all who participate!

 

Hmm think I'll do this this year

Whoo hooo, a couple more days of the beer and donuts diet. I guess this makes a grand excuse to hit up the Thursday rides with you guys.

 

sound fun. im in.

 

Here we go again...I am IN and this time I will lose some weight!

 

I am so in; in fact I've already boarded the PainTrain(tm) as I have to drop 15+ pounds before E3 this year.

Anyone up for suffering through boring road rides in Long Beach?

 

I'm in. Pretty sure I need to lose the same weight I did two years ago!

 

I really NEED to do this, but I'm going to be in Pittsburgh for the month of June. With all the good food and beer I'll be enjoying, doing this will be pretty much pointless. Then again, maybe if I do participate, I'll break even in the end.

 

I'm in for Bragging Rights this time 'round

 

Lets see...126lbs at the moment, could drop 15-17lbs no problem...let me think about this...OKAY!

 

I need a little clarification. Are weigh-ins based solely on the honor system?

 

Glad to see your still alive over there Rob!

I have a feeling some of us secretly eat like fatties just to be competitive in the competition! LOL

 

Really, that's lite! I'm normally 163/165 and crying that I weigh 170

 

jenny crank diet?
