OK, since I kicked this whole thing off in Janurary I figured it was time to post official weigh in numbers. @eyeno is kicking everyone’s butt. Congratulations on loosing 6% of your body weight and 14.4 lbs! There must be something in the water up there in Canada ‘eh!

@eyeno better not start stuffing his face with pizza and beer in victory just yet. @Mike_Miley and @rodrakic are close on his heels.

Has anyone seen @T0R0NAD0? If you see him let him know to twitter @airplaneporn with his current weight. Maybe he’s doing the whole Rocky thing, deep in the woods pulling logs around in the snow to get ready for the big-big 5K at Oshkosh!
