It started as a bet between Mr. Hopia Rico and Mr. Dimsum-and-siomai Gerard on who can lose the most percentage weight before Christmas. The bet was supposed to commence after the Subic Marathon and end before Christmas so the two could still partake of the holiday feast. Within a week's time the word spread around and the contest ballooned to 23 participants.

Sam, thank you for actively looking for additions to my prizes.
Ms. funnybunny, pasensya di ako makahanap ng bigger pics mo, kaya ayun...Cute and sexy naman, di ba? :-)
Tracy, pag pumayat na ako kakain ka na ng alikabok ng Mizuno ko (si Price)...haha
Rod, payat ka na. Di mo na kailangan ito.
Marvin Rae, feeling ko talaga ikaw ang mananalo kung sumali ka eh...
Wilson, yup, this is so fun, especially the trash talking and the side betting. Haha. Some participants like me just want to appear meaner and sexier. Haha
Good luck everyone! Kahit di manalo, everyone is sure to benefit from this :)
Mind you guys I didn't bribe Marvin and Wilson for those positive comments.

Yup, luis, that's the idea...that everyone benefits from it. :-)
Uy si Sam meron pang rejoinder. Haha. Baka magulat ka na lang sa final weigh-in!
Yup, roselle, we are all excited for the awarding. Event organizer? Nandyan na si Eric, si Abby or Marga. :-) Toast to our zexier selves!
I wish to place a bet on SAM. I am open for any amount or in kind. Any taker?
