Question, is there any prohibition of staff, I'm the Walmart greeter, participating in the money round? If not I'm in! And, due to schedule, can we alter the Monday weigh in to weekly? I may be in the road at times.

Couple things from the past go a round.


Have to use the same scale for weigh ins on the first and last.

If your initial weigh in was in your undies then your final is the same. If you were in a suit...you get where I’m going!

% is key as @BigAbe75 mentioned before.

Open to new participants or just guys from last year? I've got a good deal of "potential" (maybe 30lbs on a 240lb frame) I need to address. Would be nice to have some motivation and backup!

If so, I'm in.

Just bringing this back to the top. Info in first thread. PM @Murf'n'surf via Conversations for info on sending money in to join. Initial weigh-in is due on the 1st. All weigh-ins should be submitted via the online form, as well as posting of scale pics at a minimum for initial and month anniversary weigh-ins. Tks!

Guys, where do we stand on this competition? I’ve received only one persons money.....

Do we need to reset this to start at another date so people can join?

Ok, time to finish registering, send money and record the first weigh-in.

I updated the first post to include the registered participants. As @Murf'n'surf let's me know when payments are received, I'll update who we have received money from. We'd love to get a few more participants!! As of now, we've only got 6 registered, and 4 in for the money round.

The wife and I plan to spend some time in the basement today making sure I can get to the exercise bike, and clearing the toys from around the weight machine. :)

Thanks,
Abe

Looks like I was typing my post at the same time you guys were. I updated the first post with the attendees. 6 total, so far, and 4 paying. I'm starting today, but we can reset the dates if you guys think that would make any difference.
