Portly Angler Challenge 2010 - A/K/A Biggest Loser gets pluggage
OK, we did this a couple years ago and the winner, Zac, lost 50 pounds to win and earned a bunch of sweet pluggage.
I know I need to loose some ^$^#&*@ weight as I was really feeling it last year. Plus there is that whole lifespan thing. Anyway, here are the rules from 2008. Give me your opinion / thoughts and we'll kick this off on January 1. Rules from 08: Quote:
Who's in? |
I'll donate a plug just for the hell of it :cheers:

Weighing in: my bathroom scale sucks for accuracy and I'm sure there are others out there the same.
PS For starting weight I assume you don't put on your heaviest winter clothes, (ski)boots, and a few extra lead weights in each pocket? Final weigh-in being in a Speedo....not a pretty sight for most. |

as a side note for inspiration - last April I was 227, today 176. 38 inch waist to a 33.
Dropped the bulk of the weight in 5 months. Ran 2 miles 5 times a week, cut out carbs, ate lots of vegs and meat. Snacked on nuts. I cant tell you how great I feel. |

Dropped down from 252 to 192 by just walking a lot and eating human size portions of food. Went from a tight size 40 to a loose 36 since March. Drinking a lot of water too......no more diet soda or any other crap. Even cut waaaaaay down on the Beverage consumption :gu: |
I'm in.
|
I should really do this.
|
I'm in. My 1st week I'm going to drink until I puke everyday and go from there. If that don't work I'll eat as much as I can everyday and just look at a picture of Rosie O'd and puke. I'm sure one of these tactics will be sure to work:biglaugh: I'm really in though (GREAT IDEA)

Key, had you done that 2 years ago, you would have won. Shee it, your half my inspiration (other half is getting into a wetsuit). Raven, some kind of no impact elliptical or excessive bike - cheap on craigslist. I picked up bike I need to tweak a couple things on this weekend. |

Seeing how since 1991 I've gained 50#s and it really makes a difference I better do this. I used to sink, now I float like a cork.

good luck guys. after i lost the weight, i quit smoking and gained almost all back.
Now I have been smoke free for over a year, and I have re-lost 25 of smoke free weight. I can't enter the contest, because I just don't have it in me, but best of luck to all. it is tough to loose, and even tougher to keep it off. |
Good luck guys. I had to start early after my Nov 1 physical. My Triglycerides are off the charts. Its a family problem. As of this am I am down 13. Dr wants me down 25. My brother is also down 15 of 25.
Lots of treadmill work, no sweets, and man do I miss my ice cold 16oz' Gansetts. |
I'm in I need it, hopefully will allow me to fish more. Currently too much weight on my arthritic knees and ankles. Can't fish two nights in a row.

For me the gym is much better, as it puts me in an environment where I know I only have one task. If I'm home I can find 100 projects to do instead of getting on the elliptical. But it doesn't work for Jimmy so it is wrong, I'm just spending money to feel better :love::love: Going for a 2-mile run is one thing, get on a bike for a 60min high intensity spinning class in the middle of December :love: knowing it is on the schedule makes it harder to bail, at least for me. The gym is a hell of a lot more fun for me in the middle of February, rather than working out. Plus there is more eye candy in the winter :D:D:D especially in a college town! |

I'm in. After this week I feel like I could pop.

I feel much better, less carbs is important for me. |
I could certainly loose weight drinking Gansetts, One curl, two curl, PUKE. One curl, two curl, PUKE. And so on and so on....
