In fact, if Paula wants to help, I can give her access to it and she can update it too -- or I can do it, I don't care. =)

LOVED that idea Jonathan. And you can just do the updates if you want - no need to give me access to your site.

Can you add everyone's name? Lets see, there is:

Wade

Nancy

Jamie

Zoe

Darcy

Becky

Penni

Bigmom

Michelle

Blossom

Becca

Illsucceed

Betty

Jonathan (you)

Paula (me)

Id like for it to be in alphabetical order.

Becky suggested the end date being May 22, but I think it would be better to stick to June 1... 12 pounds in 12 weeks! (I need that extra space Becky :cool: )

Yikes Penni - Im with ya! I gained 2 pounds this week as well, so my starting weight is 202.

Anyone else want to join???

-12 pounds X 12 weeks.... (seems so easy, ha!)

[paula 4]

Yeah Kelly... (I was wondering about you)

Add Kelly to the list!

Let the game begin............

[Zoe 6]

Mondays sound good to me. I'm up a pound to 212, but I refuse to change my signature. I think it's just monthly Water weight. . . couldn't possibly have anything to do with that handful of M&Ms I had last night!

Jonathan, there's no need to "handicap" your participation just 'cause you have a Y chromosome. One-for-one should work. I'll race you: Can you get to 299 before I get to 199? (Undoubtedly you can.) I don't want to offend anyone who might perceive this side bet as pressure to lose weight -- just want to add a little spice to the challenge!

I have an idea for the winner....

how about everyone donate a small sum of money ($1, 5 but no more then $10) to that person's favorite charity in our own areas (for example: women's shelter, food pantry, orphanage, animal shelter - these are places that every city has) - does this make sense?

Do yall want the winner to be the one that gets to their goal first - OR the one that loses the most by June 1???

[Penni60 45]

Sounds to me like both ideas are good one. I think the actual weight loss should be the why to declare a winner. Just my opinion.

[Iluvharleys 15]

I vote for the one that loses the most. Since we all have different goals, it probably would be the best to work with, but I'm easy, I'll do either way.

My weight today 199... *grumble*.... so... stayed the same as last week but still not gonna change my signature. :cool: I don't care if y'all just give me a big pat on the back if I'm the winner.

[Jonathan 5]

I'll have the site updated sometime shortly after lunch. =) Maybe before even...

[Jonathan 5]

Ok, it's updated with what I have so far. Some of you indicated your weight to the tenth's. I always omit the decimal when I report my weight. So, as long as I'm 299.9, I'm 299. That's the way I wrote the software -- using integers instead of floats (er, that just means it won't accept the decimal places). I can change it, if people want me to...

But there's so much handicap to having that Y chromosome everywhere else :cool: There's the selective hearing loss, the inability to change diapers, etc. =)

The *99 side-challenege is a go, Zoe =) I hope we both tie...soon!
