Thursday was the end of our Church Tech Biggest Loser 2 contest. 37 people signed up to participate this time making the total cash pot $925! Also, Alan Hunt of VR6 Systems (EqualLogic, DataDomain, and Dell Storage) donated a Garmin Nuvi 200 as a prize as well.
BL2 ran from May 29-Aug 28 (13 weeks) and in the end the total weight lost across all participants was 444.7 lbs! Wow!

Thanks to all of you. I joined BL2 for some accountability when I realized my weight was the highest it had ever been. I never expected to even be in the running, but it went very well (obviously). I will be at the roundtable in October, check with me to see if I am below 200 lbs. for probably the first time in 3 decades. Thanks again for the support.
