Is the suspense killing you?

As of 7:30 I have 11 results in so I think I know the outcome but do have to wait for the other people to get me their percentages in. I'll post first thing in the morning. Then I'll have to get addresses from a few of you as I'll get checks off tomorrow if I get them soon enough.

Week #7

I've decided that this may be as good as it gets so I'm going to give the results that I have for our seventh week:

Julie M.-10.7
Jason R.-9.5
Jason P.-8.7
Alex-7.1
Tammy-5.3
Justin-4.6
Angela-4.3
Sara-3.7
Helena-3.3
Lori-3

What's happening people????

It's now Tuesday at 4:00 and I still don't even have half the results. Cough 'em up people!

A couple of things

First of all, it's Tuesday morning and I only have 7 results in so I guess I'll wait till tonight to see if I have enough to make it worthwhile to post. Until then I wanted to mention a couple of things.

I know I've sent out this reminder already but I'm going to send it one more time since we are down to SIX DAYS of the competition. PLEASE do NOT forget to get me your totals sometime next Monday, Feb. 28, so you won't be disqualified. I can still post your percentages for a day or two after that but if you want to have a chance for the money it HAS to be in by Monday and I won't be able to fudge or take any excuses. Monday, no later.

Also, since I am in kind of an awkward position of hopefully being one of the top contenders and I'm the one getting all the results I've been trying to figure a way to make sure nobody thinks I cheated if I'm lucky enough to get some of the money. I know I'd never cheat and anybody who knows me knows that as well but I still want to be accountable. So, what I'm going to do, since I seldom have any results too early in the day, I will have mine probably by 10:30 or 11:00 and then I'm going to send my results to at least Sara and Angela. Initially I was just going to send it to Sara but since she's my daughter I thought maybe that was not enough so I will also send to Angela. We are all extremely honest so at least that way I have a couple of people to vouch for the fact that I did not up my percentage by even a fraction of a percentage point to give myself an advantage. Don't get me wrong, I WANT to win in the worst way but that's just it, I want to win, it wouldn't be winning if I cheated so I'd never in a million years even consider it.

One final thing, since I think it could come down to the wire like it has in our last two competitions would everybody send me a couple of places after the decimal point in case I need to go that far to figure out the winner.

Thanks and good luck all on our final stretch. It's all been said before but we should all be proud. If you've lost a single pound then that is better than when you started.

Sorry folks

It is nearly 8:00 and I only have 4 results in including mine so it's not worth it to even post them so I'll wait till tomorrow.

Can I beat "me?"

I was looking back on the first year we did this to compare my progress to this year. In order to beat "me" from 2009, I need to end up with 11.2% lost by week 8. Yeah. I know. I don't think I ate at all the first year.

It will be tough, but I STILL intend to beat "me." If nothing else, I will be able to say, I worked harder than I ever have.

So now you know the target goal I am shooting for, can you beat "me?" We'll find out next week!

:)

Just a reminder

Hey everybody, I know we still have 3 1/2 weeks to go but I want to remind everybody about the very last weigh-in. Being as ultimately that is the only percentage that really matters I will have to receive your numbers by midnight on that Monday for them to count. I would hate for any of you to forget and then be disqualified after 8 long, hard weeks of work but I really would have to do that. As many of you know our last two competitions were so close the top two places were a difference of a couple of ounces so if anybody got an extra day and an extra ounce or so, it could make the difference. Also, because of this, on the last weigh-in would everybody send me a couple of extra decimal points just in case that happens again so I can figure out the 4 money placers. Thanks.

I will remind you again the last week as I want everybody to get counted!
