January 16, 2009 - Week 1 of Starvation

The results are posted at this random website.

Last time, I incorrectly credited Bread Snorter as being in the good BMI range, when it was actually Radon Ebbs. Because they have such similar names, it's often easy to confuse the two.

We also have five more participants: Dark Tavern Huff, Rad Dawn Tater, Lice Men Cry Jam, Honks Evoke Irk and Torrid Chasm, bringing the total  to 30. So although the Detroit area is going through tough times, restaurants must still be doing well.

Rad Dawn Tater, whose BMI of 22.7 rivals that of Ethiopians (21.2), is officially the Tormenter of Dieters, and may openly taunt other participants. Rad Dawn Tater may not win, but he doesn't have to.

Darn Non Coed has kept his lead over Nickname Whiny, who moved into second spot, and Team Fool Ambush in third. If Darn Non Coed and Nickname Whiny can maintain their pace, they will be a slim 59 and 51 lbs, respectively.

In general, almost everybody lost weight for the first weigh-in, with the exceptions of Whackier Taro Owl and Rad Dawn Tater, who gained weight, and Wry No Bran, who didn't lose a single once. If we keep this up, maybe we can tell Samir in a few weeks that we lost the equivalent of one Conti employee in the contest.
