Welcome to the fourth fifth annual LonghornNation Weight Loss Challenge!

In our fifth year, we'll continue our mission to promote fat justice across the globe, at least until we get skinny, at which point other, fatter people can worry about it.

The rules will be the same as they've been in the past:

1. We will weigh in once on January 1st and post our weight to the tracking sheet, including an imgur link of your scale for proof. Be honest -- our community is growing so it's important we all continue above board this year so we can continue to focus on the positive aspects of the competition.

2. Each Friday following we'll weigh in on the sheet again, no pictures required.

3. The end of the competition will be the Orange & White Game, whose date is to-be-determined. Until then I've blown out the tracking sheet toward the end of April.

4. Weight loss will be determined by %, not total pounds, so all manner of fatties are welcome.

5. You have the option of paying -- if you're interested in contributing either $25 or $50, just DM me and I'll give you my Venmo. I hold the money until the end of the competition, then pay out in 3 tiers (1st, 2nd and 3rd) relative to the total pool.

6. If you would like to participate but don't want to be a part of the pool, simply let me know and you won't be included in the prize pool but will still be included in the competition.

I'm sure there are more details required but I've probably forgotten them. For now, here is the link to the spreadsheet. Enter your username in Column A of the 2022 Weight Tracker tab, and bookmark the link for future entries.

The pot is at $950! Which means split between the first, second and third place prizes, we will see:

1st - $500

2nd - $300

3rd - $150

Good luck! I will eventually move this link to the sidebar but most of the discussion will be in the FTT.

Thanks, unc
