I'm in.
And I vote for January 7.

I am in! Date doesn't matter. I am going for the gold this time

I'm back in again Mim. It was great last year and here's a vote for Jan. 7th

Count me in. I also cast my vote for January 7th.

Also, I have a Dean Markley stick on piezo pick-up (used once but in great condition, missing the original box but still have the warranty registration card) I am willing to contribute to the prize pool.

Count me in Mim. I'm good with any date, but the sooner the better.

Im really up for this! Thanks mim

What they hey, I'm in.

I would like to donate to better the prize. As a donater, I would not be eligible for the prize after I win it. - Meaning I want to win it but would dq myself if I did win it. I will send you a paypal donation for the prize.

Please start ASAP. I have told myself I start January 1, 2012 at 5 am so I will take a picture then. So if you start January 7, I will then only count 11 weeks as my interval as I will be 1 week in front of you all

7. Susie A
8. dkcrown (don't include the Pineapple Sundae you shed recently)
9. hidden cross

OK, initial weigh in will be the 7th or 8th. Just depending on if you like to weigh in on Saturday or Sunday. To qualify for weekly prizes (if we do that again) you have to have your numbers in to me by Monday morning when I wake up.

Do we want to do weekly prizes? I need people to volunteer weeks. I can usually swing about 2-3 weeks. I am terrible about getting my prizes out on time and the people who won mine last time, I promise they are coming. Haha!

I am excited about this round too. Just keep in mind on one of the first weeks I will be gone on a cruise. An all you can eat cruise. And honestly, I cant pass up this oppotunity to endulge because this will NEVER happen again (someone else is paying for it or I would have never been able to afford it in the first place). I will also be at NAMM, which messes me up... EXCEPT... it is A LOT of walking, so I could lose while there. So I am not going to do my inital weigh in until after the cruise.

KEEP IN MIND... I am going to do my bestest to get everything posted on time, and 95% chance I will be pretty punctual. I did well last time. BUT... I have the cruise, NAMM, and then I am moving... this may actually help because since I still have to work while we move, there will be about a month where I will be without my family. This is going to kill me, but leave a lot of time to dedicate to exercise and keeping up with UUBL. As long as I can stay away from fast food. We need more peeps, so spread the word to other uke friends you have!!

THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME YALL! I am hoping for a lot more talking and motivating each other this time.

Last thing to vote on...

12 or 16 weeks

12 always seems good, last time we did 13. Just not sure if you guys want to have a longer contest. I know I could sure use the motivation.

I say 12 weeks Mim. People tend to lose steam and fall off the wagon towards the end any way.

Good luck with your move Mim. Sounds like a trying time to go through without family and having you schedule in upheaval. Must stay the course with your eating habits during those stretches.

I think I agree with the 12 weeks. It ends on March 31st then, that is a good time.

It is either going to be a ton easier without people around or I will rely on convienence foods. I will have to only keep healthy stuff in the house and see if that helps!

Please count me in again- have been signed off work for the last couple of months with depression and panic attacks and need motivation to shed the weight I have put on not doing anything.
