January 13, 2012 - Week 1 of Better Health
The results are posted at this random website.
Well, now. As of last Friday, after less than one week of dieting, a total of 10 people (28%) have gained weight. After researching the BFLG diet contest statistical archives, this is a new record. Never before, in the history of this contest, have so many people gained weight after the first week (on a Friday the 13th after the first full moon of the year while facing a left-handed pitcher). The previous record was 4 people (25%) in 2007. No other year had more than 2 participants gaining weight in the first week of the contest.
There have been a few administrative changes. The total number of participants is now 36, so the updated name/anagram list is given below. Also, some of the charts are not complete with all participants. These will get updated in the coming days.
Our initial leader, I Hum Barroom Vice, laid down some smack talk to start the contest. He has employed the tricky tactic of gaining weight to increase his points, but is currently in second place behind My Shaken Ton. In third place is Mill At Dell Clench.
Last place is shared by a number of people, and by some who have not weighed in yet, so there is no commentary for them yet. But rest assured, their time for snarky comments is coming.
