I'm signed up but can't weigh-in until tonight - I don't have a full length mirror in my bathroom so I need H to take a picture of me standing on the scale in my "airport attire."

I am on MyFitnessPal if anyone wants to friend me there -- username is RoxySquirrel.
I am going to try to stick to their calorie goal for the day and try to lean more towards protein and less on carbs. What are you all going to follow for this 28 day challenge?
I am in! I need the motivation so bad. I will have to do the picture tomorrow morning. Anyone try the Whole30? Would that work here?
You would probably have no problem losing the 4% if you did a whole30 in conjunction with the bet. I've done a whole60 which was hard but I lost a lot of weight, looked and felt great, and try to eat paleo as much as possible (although it's been on and off over the last year). Just know that a whole30 can be really hard if you commit to doing it 100% - a lot of people have trouble cutting out grains, dairy, sugar, etc., but it is doable.

Thanks, I have been flirting with it since Feb and lost a little but didn't stick to it. This might be just the thing I need to stay the course this time.
**I can't believe you did a Whole60! Damn, I am super impressed. I think I made it to a Whole10 once, lol
I'm in. I've been on some meds that have messed with my weight a bit (and may make it tough to lose), but I'm hoping this will give me some motivation.
oh yes. a contest using the honour system. on gbcn/nest.
this should turn out well. after this contest, we should do another cd exchange. or even a secret santa! what could go wrong?
I'm in this camp.
Also, I dunno. I tell you guys all kinds of things, but I won't post a pic of myself in The Suit, and I won't do a weight-loss challenge. Even though I am currently wearing The Suit and dieting. This is my boundary. I finally found my boundary.
Haha, oh well. Even if someone does decide to be a dick and cheat, at least you know you can still work to meet your own goal and win your money back. So really, you don't lose out on anything unless you just don't reach your goal. Nbd.

None of this is regulated by GBCNers. I created the bet but I don't see any weigh ins, photos, or full names. The only way you lose your money is by not losing weight. No one else is really taking it from you. It's more like a down payment on your weight loss. So, even if someone cheats and I still lose my 5.8 lbs, they don't get any of my money.

This is what I figured. I hope no one cheats, but even if they did, it only means I get less if the pot, but I still get all my 25 back

Aww, @booby , join! If there is anything that motivates me to lose weight, it's money!!! And my summer clothes which I love!!! And the money I spent on the summer clothes which I love!!!
LOL, I decided I'm joining. Even if somebody manages to cheat, I'll still at least get my initial bet back, yes? And if there's drama/fallout, I'll be on the inside!
I think I'm joining. Right now I'm flying back from the east coast, but I'm really intrigued. I should have time before the 6th to get my shit together. I love a good challenge!
I wasn't paying attention while I was trying to weigh in so totally put the wrong weight. Blah. Now the verification staff will think I'm a moron. Do they just kick it back so you can correct it?
