In all fairness the challenge should be calculated as a "percentage" of weight lost. (weightloss / total start weight)
The smaller portly anglers to lose 20lbs involves more diet and exercise then a larger portly. The larger portly probably can loss 10lbs in just one dump and another 10 lb. in retained water.
20lb/200lb = 10.00%
20lb/300/b = 6.66%

You should go by who lowers their BMI the most %! It is not just tonnage but height, too, that contributes.

So here is body fat % calculator:

Where is the waist: circumference around the naval or where I wear my pants belt?

Percentages is the easiest fair way to play.
OK - kick off - January 1st - with an early start December 15th? Cost is a plug OR this year we'll let you buy one online with PayPal (maybe even get the PayPals in and the total will go to a gift certificate with one of the plug sponsors (I may nominate Afterhours as at last check he was working himself into better shape).
Jan 1st to May 1st?
