    Everyone putting in a box would be good, all above 90 rated or something like that?

    Not to sound counter productive here, but I would love to lose 50lbs then win and drink all the beer and gain it back!

    I'd be in if % and a chance to win some beer.

    I ran one of these recently on a different site... we did everyone chip in a box then prize breakdown based on number of boxes and did it based on % weight. We could have had a few improvements though to make it run a bit easier:
    1. Establish the box distribution early and requirements to go in the box (since a few people lost a lot of weight, others gave up quickly and then never shipped)
    2. Find a better way to ensure accuracy of results (a lot of people thought of 'creative' ways to cheat the scale.
    3. Def need full body pre and post shots (not nude but you know what I mean)
    4. We did % loss as it was unfair for a lot of folks who were lighter but wanted to lose weight (I was 170 and got down to 150, 20lb is much easier for the guys that were starting at 300).

    Great points.. I'm beginning to think that while a great idea, and that we'd all like to drop some lb's the idea may be flawed.

    Really? People cheating at losing weight to win beer? "I'm going to cheat myself by continuing to be fat and cheat these other people who are trying to better themselves." People are pretty sorry.

    Well, I would not say that anyone actually "cheated". But there was a lot of chatter about how easy it would be to "fool the system". If they started out with say a backpack of 1lb weights and just slowly pulled them out at each weigh in so they would look like they were losing more weight than the next guy. Or zero'ing the scale improperly... that sort of thing.
