It’s That Time Again

Monday, December 23, 2013 10:33:33 AM EST

Eggnog, fruitcake, Plätzchen, honey-baked ham, turkey, pie, Glühwein, chestnuts roasting on open fires—all terrible, nasty things that other people make us eat during the holidays. As a service to those who survived these tortuous festivities, we will again conduct the BFLG Diet Contest, 2014 Edition.

The contest rules will be the same as in previous years. The initial weigh-in will be on Monday, January 13, 2014. The first weekly weigh-in after that will be on Friday, January 17, 2014. I know most people like to diet only for the first 2-3 weeks of this contest, but I will collect weigh-in data until Friday, April 25, 2014 (15 weeks).

The Auburn Hills North scale is still in cubicle A1016 (southeast corner) on the first floor. For Auburn Hills South, please contact Andreas Knueppel for the scale’s location.

If you know that you will be joining the contest, please let me know ahead of time so I can start filling out the worksheet.

I will have the results in two different servers this year, as people like to have up-to-date results for some reason. You can check out either site, but the first site may be updated sooner:

So until then, good luck and good eatin’. Here are the same rules as always:

(Feel freel to pass this on to others that may make you say, “dude, you need to go on a diet contest.” They’ll appreciate the sentiment.)
