Let's get ready to (gut) rumble

Angry Hippie (B!), Rochester, and the mysterious Tonsoffun have all signed on to the Great Weight-Off of 2005. First, can we all agree on a name for this thing? Fat Fest? Tale Of the Tape? Operation Enduring Freedom Fries?

I've appointed myself referee, which seems to have been accepted by all interested parties. Except Tonsoffun, because I'm not really sure who that is. The rules so far: AH/B and Rochester have both posted their opening measurements at the links above. End date is on or around July 9th, 2005, at which time final results will be posted on the respective contestants blogs. Verification, should it be necessary (or invoked by one of the participants), will be conducted by me, bitches. The formula used to determine the winner will be determined within, say, the next week or so and posted here, on JAI. Prizes will also be determined, although let it not go unnoted that fitness is its own reward.

So, let's get it on! Or, take it off, as it were.
