Should we do an Egghead weight loss challenge this year

fletcherfam

we did one about 2-3 years ago. Rules are start on a certain date and go for 12 weeks. Email pics of scale and some form of date stamp (newspaper, etc.) greatest percentage of weight lost wins. (We have gotten a few prizes before.)

yes?
No?
Hell no?

I'm not big on the new years resolution thing, but I do need to lose some pounds.  The supermodels are starting to like me for my mind instead of my physique.

Count me in.

HofstraJet

I'd be willing.

DuckDogDr

I'd be on board

nolaegghead

I'd be in for a weight-gain contest.

Sorry, I'm not one for new years reso's.  Anyway, your avatar reminds me of weekly loses I've suffered all season with Wilson as my QB on my FF team.

Cashfan

I'm on board.

I am actually on week 2 of eating right and exercising. Down about 8lbs already. I have a LONG way to go, and this could help with motivation some.

Would a divorce count?

@herbu - I fixed it for you ^^.

@fletcherfam  so what did you have in mind?  Everybody pitch in for prizes?  Or would BGE donate a few eggs... 

HofstraJet

I think a small or mini egg as incentive would be a nice gesture by BGE and not too hard on the bottom line. Paging @The_Buffalo

It's a great idea, but count me out. I'm down to 173. Less than what I weighed when I graduated high school.

Count me in

Hub

I'm in but only have about ten to twelve pounds to lose.  Also, beer must be allowed or I am out.

JacksDad

I will do this too. But since I know @blind99 in real life, he has to promise not to reveal my weight to anyone I may actually know. I'm a delicate flower. 

I'm counting on public shaming for motivation!

Good initiative, but personally, is rather see a weight gain challenge - 12 weeks to see who can pack on the most insulation. 

Dredger

Not egg challenged for weight gain, but need to stop the eggnog and Wild Turkey this time of year.

RedSkip

$100 buy in for the serious?  Not sure how payment and the central bank would work...

Some of us have other weight issues. At 6', 143lbs I'm in for a weight gain challenge!

My problem is the other side of the coin - gotta put some weight back on, but not fat. Late this fall I had a serious infection from oral surgery. That meant I landed in the hospital for 7 days and then after that I had 42 consecutive days of injections as a hospital out patient. As the result I dropped 30 pounds and so far have only been able to regain about 10 of them.

Sounds like you need to hit the gym and get some protein powder.
