| Competitor | Starting Weight (pounds) | Target Weight | Difference |
| Dan M | 176 | 165 | 11 |
| Ted S | 208 | 195 | 13 |
| Josh B | 191 | 179 | 12 |
| Bryan D | 166 | 156 | 10 |
| Joe M | 463 | 435 | 28 |
January 6, Update
Well, we hit a little problem when at his first weigh in, Bryan D had apparently dropped 6 pounds.
Presuming that no person could lose 6 pounds of fat in three days, it was deemed that the initial reading must have been an aberration (presumably too much jerky-in-the-stomach). He was assigned a new starting weight of 161, making his approximately one pound drop consistent with the other competitors.
So here's how the rest of us (minus Ted, who hasn't given us a weigh-in) are doing so far.
| Competitor | 6-Jan | Pounds to go |
| Dan M | 175 | 10 |
| Ted S | ||
| Josh B | 190 | 11 |
| Bryan D | 160 | 9 |
| Joe M | 460 | 25 |
January 16 Update:
And the pounds continue to slip away. At least for most of us. The skinny appear to be leading the way after Joe M has dropped out of the contest due to his stomach surgery being deemed to strong an advantage. Also, Ted has gone AWOL.
Here's where things stand:
| Competitor | 1/16/2012 | Pounds to go |
| Dan M | 169 | 4 |
| Ted S | NA | #VALUE! |
| Josh B | 188 | 9 |
| Bryan D | 154 | 3 |
