What? Again?

Some of you might remember that awhile back my family had a "weight loss contest" that only Rory and I ended up finishing. (Since she met her goal, she won a fabulous shopping spree!). So when my littlest brother - who is probably still keeping track of how long he's been married in DAYS - wrote to the family this morning that he's worried about getting fat and suggested another contest, I figured this was "easy money."

Rules:

• Participants send $$ to a sister-in-law who isn't allowed to participate because the winds coming off the Great Salt Lake would deposit her in St. George if she lost any more weight ($25 to $100 each).
• Initial weigh-in is today.
• Contest lasts for 4 months, to end on 4 March 2009.
• Parents, siblings and most spouses have agreed to participate.
• Highest % weight loss takes home the money. ALL of it.
• Smack-talk is essential. I'm still trying to convince them to award "style points" for said smack.

With the holidays approaching, anyone who wants to help ensure my victory is welcome to send leftover Halloween candy, Thanksgiving desserts, Christmas Season goodies, New-Years treats, Valentine's Day chocolates, and even Presidents' Day commemorative baked goods to everyone on my family's mailing list. Just email me and I'll be happy to provided you with that list. (There might even be a "cut" of the winnings in it for you.)
