I’ll post the results today, but please bring all smack talk to these posts or on Twitter. Bring it!!!

Ok, it’s been talked about, rumored about, even Twittered about. Now, it’s on. Here are the deets:

• January 5th through March 8th (8 full weeks)
• We’re measuring percent of total weight lost, not actual pounds
• $20 buy-in, prizes to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. (In-kind service [car washing] can also count, and non-Tallahassee people can also get in by sending gift cards via the web). I’ll collect the money any time between now and March 2nd. I’ll trust your word if you say you’re in.
• Use the same scale each week (unless you’re out of town right now). Make sure it’s an honest one!
• Weigh yourself each Monday and email me the percentage lost by 12 p.m. (EST) that day. First email should come on January 12th.
• UPDATED: Here’s how to do the math: Each week take total pounds lost [divided by] starting weight to get your overall percentage lost. For instance, if you start at 230 and lost 4 at the end of the first week, you’d have lost 1.74%
• Send in a percentage to the 4nd decimal, i.e. 3.5665%. This could be close, you know…
  
• I’ll post the results on this blog no later than 1 p.m. every Monday.

You have until 12 a.m. on 1/6 to go in, because you have to weigh yourself on 1/5.

Ok, I’m in, who’s coming with me? (Official response needed on this blog post, not Facebook or Twitter)
