On the day of Jan. 1st 2008?
Dec. 31st at midnight 2007?

12am January 1st or December midnight, same thing. When the ball drops the scale gets stepped on.

the date is irrelevant here you would weigh at the time of the bet, then you cannot lose ten pounds in under a minute without there being a gruesome death involved...tobin

I would say anytime on the date of the first starting at midnight of the 31st... I dont think the choice should be made by the guy that is supposed to be losing the weight though.

Well since the keyword is BY meaning before. I would think this means before 0001 on Jan 1 2008.
 
Once it turns midnight on the night of December 31st then it is officially Jan 1, 2008. So actually both times you listed are the same date and either time would be good. But if it was me and I was the one betting the other he couldnt lose the weight....I would do the weigh in at midnight, because he was probably eating alot at a party and drinking alot of beer up until midnight while celebrating the new years eve party and might weigh alittle more than he would hours later into the day.

midnight December 31st is actually the night of the 30th... 11:59pm is still the 30th but 12:00am (AKA Midnight) is the 31st... sooo i would say anytime before the stroke of midnight the night of the 31st...
i would go with the 1st at anytime though... good luck getting all that water weight out in a couple hours...

If he would lose the weight by Jan 1st he would have to weigh in prior to that date, anytime before midnight on December 31st. My question is why 2 guys are betting on their weight!!!!

The time the bet was made exactly! Then again, on the first second of the new year. Only with two numerical values could you measure the difference in the time depicted. It is a simple procedure.

well a good stihl chainsaw would work wonders then there are explosives or a good ol fashioned guillotine a couple of shotgun blast would clean it off, see why i don't watch horror movies...tobin

I think it's pretty obvious that this (the weight loser) guy is going to win....whether or not you win the date bet thing is still up for grabs.

I say like the other sayed when the ball drops scale drops.Their is a problem with that though if you drink alot you might put that on during the course of the night. If you ask me 10lb is not much to lose.I lose 10 lb during the week at work but put 10 back on when I am on the couch watching football
