I think I can do 10.

I've been slacking lately. :D

jag, 10 pounds... is a worthy goal, I think. That's 1.25 pounds/week.

glinda, I've been slacking off all YEAR! Time for me to get back to it!

If my two pounds is water weight, I will try to lose 8 more pounds by the meet-up.  If it isn't water weight, I will try to lose those plus six...  Either way, 8 total.  We shall see.  I'm going to go for 8!  Woot!

got a bid of 8.... one of 10.... another of 10.... and one of 6.... any others?

Tracking the goals...

• jag: 6 pounds
• longwalker: 8 pounds
• glinda: 10 pounds
• athene: 10 pounds

If we pull this off, that'll be 34 fewer pounds the Earth has to carry around. :-)

Go us!!!!  Woot!

Bumping this up to see whether anyone else is interested in the challenge.

I weighed myself this morning to start tracking my loss for this challenge; haven't weighed in months, but have maintained my previous loss very well, and yay! for that. Now I'm ready to get rid of more, more, more!

Or, you know, interested in the actual get-together :)

Well, yes, there is that!!

I can't wait!  This will be awesome!!!  Woot!!!

So weird as I was just thinking on my hike last night that I'd like to be 8-10 lbs down by then.  Or a size smaller.  Whichever. :o)

So, kallie, does that mean you're in the challenge? :-)

I'm in for 10 pounds.  : D

• jag: 6 pounds
• longwalker: 8 pounds
• kallie: 8-10 pounds?
• glinda: 10 pounds
• athene: 10 pounds
• kimne: 10 pounds

If kallie's in for 8 pounds, that'll be 52 fewer pounds rotating on Earth every day!

Yep put me down for 8 - if I get to 10 all the better, but 8 = 1 lb a week and that's very doable!

Okay, lady, you're ON! :-)

• jag: 6 pounds
• longwalker: 8 pounds
• kallie: 8 pounds
• glinda: 10 pounds
• athene: 10 pounds
• kimne: 10 pounds

Anyone else in, HK? :-)

I can't make it, I still have to build my frothbeast suit.

If you remove weight from the earth it will spin slower, and drift away from the sun.   Not necessarily a good idea.

Kipp is entertaining to me.  I love the paradox.  He is obviously trying to communicate to the group, yet his statements imply that he is not!  I hope the best for poor Kipp.....

frothbeast, population on earth is increasing, so there are more people on earth to compensate for the weight loss.

Then the increase in earth mass will draw us towards the sun!

Everyone RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why we have to lose weight -- to save Earth!!!!!!!!!!!
