Oh Weight...





Yes this past Sunday, 11 people at our house gained a total of 63.6 lbs. And that's just 11 of the nearly 30 people that were in our downstairs watching the Super Bowl together on what was 137 inches of HD Television (see picture above - keep in mind those are 10' ceilings in the picture)


It was the 5th Annual Weigh-In, Weigh-Out Super Bowl Party. It's the Super Bowl as never been played anywhere else. Only at the Soderlund house are encouraged, and for that matter, awarded a trophy for gaining lots of weight between kickoff and the end of the Super Bowl.


This year's winner is Peder Brakke who gained 9.0 lbs in the matter of 4 hours and a little bit of football thrown in there too. But most importantly, he joins the illustrious likes of the former champions before him and takes home the trophy and honor or being the 2008 Weight Gain champion.


If you know Peder, you may want to congratulate him the next time you see him.


Honorable mention goes to 2nd Place, me, gaining 8.6 lbs and first-time participant Brandon Bleek, who gained 8.4 lbs. For that matter, all participants deserve a pat on the back, or the belly, as this is NOT and easy competition.


Oh Wait (or weight)... Wasn't that a great game?! What an exciting ending!
