The 2012 Mahoney Weight Loss Challenge has begun. With visions of health, fitness, and attractiveness, five competitors have risen to the challenge and submitted their efforts to the ridicule of the world in the hopes of winning $100.
Dan M
It wouldn't be my contest without my participation. I was almost ashamed when I looked down at my fat feet on the scale.
My Japanese scale reads in kilograms, but that's 176 pounds. Too many. My objective for the contest is to get down to 166.
Josh B
The next competitor is Josh B, from Maryland, who claims that his body is anywhere from 30-65% beer.
Weighing in at 191 pounds, Josh's target is 179 pounds, and possibly for Iran to develop closer ties with Latin America.
Bryan D
Bryan D is a medical student from Houston, who hopes to get back to his "teaching weight."
At 166 pounds, he enters the contest as the lightest competitor, with a target weight of 156 pounds.
Ted S
Longtime blog readers might recognize Ted from winning some cookies back in 2010. He might have to "win" a few more cookies just to make sure he doesn't win this contest. Ted actually stopped by my apartment halfway through a run this morning in order to weigh himself on my Japanese scale. Unfortunately, I was too stupid to remember to take a picture, so you'll just have to know that he weighed in at 208 pounds. His target weight is 195 pounds.
Joe M
Joe hails from Montreal, and is armed with a fiery Italian temper, and an ungodly amount of luck (Joe has been known as the "luck fairy" because he's so lucky). Joe enters the competition as the heaviest competitor, weighing in at 463 pounds. His target weight is 435 pounds.
PLAAAAAAAAAAAAY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!
There are five competitors, so the winner will receive an $80 payout, and the second place finisher will get his $20 entry fee back. The remaining "losers" will have nothing to show for their effort but a svelte new physique,
For those of you wishing to track all of the competitor's progress, standings will be updated on this page.
