OK, the weight loss challenge is officially over. I don't yet know any results other than my own - I am hoping to find out more about how other contestants fared.

In general, I think I kicked major butt. I weighed in today (after a gluttonous weekend) at 214 pounds. I lost a total of 25 pounds since we started 2 months ago. Around the middle, I measured 5.5 inches less than my old spare tire.

I will update again if/when I find out how I stacked up against the others.
