First, I must depart from some of good TJ's comments -- I, for one, do not respect what the people on the show are trying to do. I'm sick and tired of our society making things heroic that are not in fact heroic. I'm sorry that you can't say no to a 10th donut, but don't pretend you're doing something amazing when you are trying to re-become a healthy human being. There are certain rules of logic and reason on this planet -- one of the paramount ones of these comes from the great game of baseball -- you can't pitch yourself into a save situation. Allowing these chunksters to do so creates a perverse, Jared-Fogel-like incentive for other people to get fat so they can be on TV getting un-fat. With that said --
10/20/04 -- 7:45 am -- 215 lbs (butt-ass naked but for a towel -- don't cheat by wearing clothes, you rat bastards)
Also, I would like to formally concede this week, as I will be watching baseball playoffs and drinking dangerous amounts of beer -- however, I may be in the running for greatest increase

Genius comparison, calling eating yourself into a sympathetic position the same as giving up a run to get into a save situation. BRILLIANT! You are right, how can we possibly hold this contest with Game 7 looming? It just doesn't seem possible.
For the record, my 207 was in only a towel as well. It was hovering around 206, so I rounded up. Let's say 206.5? I weighed in with my shorts on at 207-ish, but I also took a shower and a crap, and came in around 206...so Ill average that bad boy out....
