TOPIC: 2025 Edition of New Year, New Weight Loss Challenge!

Ok, I am restarting a weight loss challenge. Like before all are welcome and encouraged to assist, and to help us along the way!

Starting weigh in will be any date from 1/3/25-1/12/25

Final weigh in date will be decided once we have everyone in. I'm open to suggestions. I have considered March 1 ish, another for mid-April (maybe with the patron event?), another for Origins (to really give people an opportunity for a big time shift if they're so inclined)

Entry will be $20.

If we get 10 participants, I will donate a golden fleece as a 2nd place prize.

I am eligible to win any prizes, if I actually do so.

If you would like to participate under a pseudonym, please PM me.

Contest is % of initial bodyweight lost.

I'll post my values publicly.

John O (Salsa John)

I'm in at 220.

I'm in (PayPal sent) - 345 lbs.

Anyone else?

If I'm not too late, I'll join. I evidently need these challenges for a little extra incentive. I did really well last spring/summer and in the last six months have put 2/3 of the weight back on. The good news is that I didn't put it all back on.

Anyway, currently at 212.0 as of 5 minutes ago. If not too late, I'll go ahead and paypal the money.

Sure, count me in. 228.7 LB

The more the merrier

Paypal sent.

Let it begin. Good luck everyone!

Anyone else?

Also, any thoughts on timing/length of challenge?
