Who is up to taking the Holiday Challenge with me?
The Holiday Challenge is a weigh-in and weigh-out on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, and January 2, 2005, respectively. The idea, of course is to not gain any weight during the holidays.

Everything would be on the honor system. We could even name charitable stakes, or name DU or DNC as the charity. For every pound you gain, you pay $1, with a minimum of $5 for having to process the check, etc.

Who's in, besides me?

3. Should we be revealing our weights, or just
an over "par" or under "par" type of deal?

We could check in every week.

5. Alright!

I hope Skinner doesn't foil our objectives by posting pictures of roasted turkeys, chocolate desserts, etc.

By the way, I'm working on getting a head start on getting my "par" number down. That won't help me in the contest, but my clothes will fit better.

6. heh heh - I FOR SURE have weight problem, but the
Holidays actually aren't a bother for me - I am usually WAY more active, and STRESSED during Nov and Dec - rarely gain anything. Now sitting around in Feb and March when its cold outside, that is a problem time!
