So are you in or are you out? I mean just by Saying "I'm In" you lost 10 lbs.

and as soon as You said you were out you put it right back on

I have been hating myself pretty bad for the last few weeks of eating (nevermind the last few years)and just validated it on the scale. I am even forgoing the "ladies option" just so I can shame myself openly and turn that into motivation to loose!


...ok...here goes......a dose of tough love for myself!









I am in at the big 200 even

Ed...stop fiddlin' with that dial on your scale!

Should call this the S-B (Loose a) Leg Tourney

At the second heaviest (but not second tallest) of the bunch so far, I humbly add myself in at %#^& ,err, 303 - within 10 pounds of my all time high (last year this time) and 16 over my best weight of the last year. Of course I could take a laxative and slip in lighter than Larry but alas, honesty and integrity and all that crap.

What finally made me do it you ask? Last year when I worked at the school district, the Middle School ran a "Biggest Looser" challenge among the staff and some people did real well. In fact, the winner is a S-B member here . I didn't do it expecting some knee work that never materialized. I managed to enter the second, smaller "Biggest Loser" Challenge and came in second, since having gained more than half of that back.

So I hang my fat ass in shame and join this merry rag-tag band of misfits and ne'er do wells

Any negative comments or Fat A$$ remarks will be met swiftly and deliberately...

Ummmmmm.....errrr..........just so you know John....I had just stuffed "3" count them "3" large steak and cheese subs down my pie hole with onions just before I weighed my self!!! Those were probably good for a pound a piece!!!

very frustrating jumping on the scale everyday .. I'm just going to keep working out and maybe in a couple of weeks weigh myself . I'm going to make myself a rock hopping machine... good luck everyone .. no shame .. Takes courage to face your demons and deal with it ,, *6

[BigFish]

I will step on the scale once a week.....just to check!

[Tagger]

I'm surprised Salty Booger never jumped on this .. he's a little portly ..

Did not relize the deadline to enter has past. I guess I missed a golden opportunity.


Good Luck to All anyway


Is there going to be a award cerimony with Bar B Que?

I was going to enter but it wouldn't be fair. I started Sept 4th at 239. Have been on the South Beach diet for 4 months and down to 202.

So 37 lbs in a little over 4 months. Right around 2 pounds a week lost.

Good for u paul..How is the SB diet different from Atkins which is kinda too hardcore no carbs for me..
I guess I do my own limited no carb thing.Complex carbs in regular portions.No sugars..No frutcose..Healty meats like chicken an fish..Sometimes a steak.

[Slingah]

I was down to 201 pre-vacation, I ate whatever....pizza, ribs, burgers, subs...etc....now back at 205....regroup this week...

<cue final countdown music>
It is a close race, with only a couple more days to go..... I am still shedding pounds, but had a little bump entertaining some customers for a few days... but I am back on track and should finish strong.

This has been great motivation for me, and I am so excited we all did this. Maybe we can all get together in May for a (not so) portly anglers fishing trip.

I'm pretty sure its a 3 way race between Zacs, Scone and Adam777.
