          Picture this:

          One slice banana bread
          Peanut butter
          Strawberry jam
          One slice banana bread
          Peanut butter
          Strawberry jam
          One slice banana bread.

          Now picture this concoction grilled.

          Now picture having to say no to this glorious piece of heaven.

          This contest is pissing me off already. 😃

              So glad to hear you say this. I've been in the same boat and already decided to start Monday. What a relief 🙂

                    I'd agree with @summ3rhays about how to approach this. Weight loss is really about eating fewer calories than you take in.

                    Given that most people, at least those for whom I can see a weight, are around 210 to 220 lbs, then 2500 calories would be a good starting point. Aim to lose around a pound a week, and if it's not going down then cut back on what you eat.

                    Calorie counting isn't an accurate science, and people tend to under-report how much they're eating, in some cases by about 30%. But it's probably the least worst approach.

                    Oh, and you'll probably feel hungry whilst losing weight. Just to forewarn you…

                    I'd give the challenge a go, but I'm in China for the next fortnight (what was that about going to Australia?), so maybe I'll pick it up when I get settled.

                                      I like food too much. I'll be selective, but won't starve myself. I found kimchi to be a great way to add much needed flavor to chicken or eggs. Mmm

                                          tequila and grapefruit juice is not much different than beer.  if you want a difference, straight tequila.
