I'd love to join this challenge. I want to make sure I understand the rules. We take a picture 11/1/03 and post it with our weight that day. Then after Jan 1 2004 we post another pic with our weight that day and that is it? We can use any plan any exercise we want to get the pounds off? Seems like those with more pounds to lose will have a big advantage over the lighter weights. maybe it would be fairer if it was the largest percentage of weight lost. 300 pounder losing 30 pounds would have lost 10% of their weight while a 150 pounder losing only 26 pounds would lose a larger percent of their weight 17.3%. just a thought. I was going to PM you this but I can't make the PM system work for some reason.
