$20/month sounds good to me.

We can keep track of things this way:

Get on a scale today or tomorrow and take a pic of the scale.
I took a little sheet of paper and wrote:
Thomas Campbell
TPF's Biggest Loser
3/10/10
and put that between my feet. Then used my Canon SD-890 IS to snap a shot of my scale so you can see the starting weight with me on it - ugly toes and all. I will post

Then on June 10th, I will do the same thing.


I will take care of the guys that want to enter. You can PM me or email me your starting weight and pic. I will keep track of them all for everyone.

We need a woman to volunteer to do the same. Leslie? Heather? Donna?

Im in too. I don’t mind posting my weight either. I have recently shot up to 185 (man that sounds so bad to say out loud), and would like to get down to 145. Ive been over indulging in everything lately and really need to start taking better care of myself.

Oh, and $20 per month sounds good to me also.

That's the good question. We can wait and hope everyone pays up after the competition (there will always be a couple of disappearers) or we can pay up front and only those who pay are eligible.

I would be fine with letting the money sit in my paypal account for a couple months.

I prefer that we pay upfront so no one disappears, and I don't really care which regular, known poster holds the money. Or if we want someone who isn't in the competition like Abel to do it, we could choose that, if they were so willing.

Good luck to all of you!

I would get in, but I lack the motivation... And control over my diet for half the year.
