Photo Gallery: Check Out Pictures Of The Challenge

Call it new math. Two months into the three-month Weight Loss Challenge, our group hits the midway point.
How so? Well, we at TBO.com and 4you have become so addicted to this group of folks, we offered them a chance to stay on for an extra month. They agreed, so the weight loss continues through the end of May.
Of course, we’re quite confident that the weight loss will continue for these six individuals past that date, too, as they continue to improve their health and fitness. If their progress so far is any indicator, there’s no question about that.
The six have lost a combined 107.5 pounds in two months, setting a record for the Challenge (see chart below). Last year’s best group dropped just short of 100 pounds in three months.
So keep up the great work, Challengers! We’re enjoying every lost pound of it.

Glad to see The Challege will continue. This IS a good group, isn’t it?
They are a page straight from the Tao Te Ching (The Book of the Way, and How it Manifests Itself in the World), specifically, Verse 68:
The best athlete
wants his opponent at his best.
. . .
All of them embody
the virtue of non-competition.
Not that they don’t love to compete, but they do it in the spirit of play.
In this they are like children
and in harmony with the Tao.
(From the translation by Stephen Mitchell)
