Thanks for the reminder on the rules. I'll go snag them and put them in.

I'm definitely not throwing in the towel -- I actually won five in a row recently. I just generally end up on the wrong side of the fence at some point in these challenges (I need to go look, but I think there might only be one where that didn't happen) and since I think that my current weight is a bit low to be completely real, I expect to hop off the starting line going in the wrong direction. If so, that's fine. My big goal with these isn't to win, but to be in the money (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) because that generally means a decent weight loss and a ratcheting down of my starting weight for the next challenge. If it ratchets down every time, I'm guaranteed to get to my ultimate goal eventually.
