The Dad Fisherman · 12-31-2007, 08:13 PM

Here are the rules for the challenge.

1. Entry fee is 1 Wooden Plug

2. Competition will be based on percentage of weight lost (Weight Lost / Weight at Start = Percentage Lost) not on actual pounds.

3. To get in just post in this thread "I'm In" by 12 midnight on January 2nd (Relax and enjoy New Years Day) and post your starting weight, A Pic is Optional......its just for reference. If anyone would like to take the "Lady Angler" option just Say "I'm In with the Lady Angler Option" when they enter, then they can just PM me their starting weight and their updates and I will just post your Percentages only at the update intervals.

4. On the 1st and 15th of every month post how much you've lost and we'll figure out what your percentage is.

5. The contest ends May 1st 2008....just in time to hit the Suds. Post your Final Weight and we will see who the Winners are.

6 The Second place winner will receive 3 plugs and the 1st Place winner will receive the rest. Of course the 1st Place guy gets to pick 1st.

Thats it.

any questions feel free to ask

I am in......lets do this!

Goal is 270 by fishing season!

ProfessorM · 12-31-2007, 10:11 PM

Wow. I will give you some motivation. I am the same weight as I was when I graduated High school 32 years ago. I really feel for you as I love to eat and can't gain any weight even if I tried. If I had to go on a diet and eat limited calories it would kill me. Good luck to all of you. It must be very difficult. I am pulling for you. P.

johnny ducketts · 01-01-2008, 10:29 AM

I'm in .. Woke up to see 218 on the scale, wanna get down to under 2 hundy

Tagger · 01-01-2008, 11:31 AM

I been on the tread mill 3 times already plus a yoga class .. plus stomach machines and a very small amount of free weights .. Yoga tomorrow night .. Feel the differance already .. If I was you guys I wouldn't let me in ... or am I starting the trash talk ? Hey ... Those scale pics are NG ... pretty much have to be the honor system ... You can turn that Knob on the back of the scale to read anything you want or hold a watermellon .

BigFish · 01-01-2008, 11:41 AM

Ed...at 300 pounds I got nothing to hide and no reason to lie! That picture is more honorable than "saying" I weigh 300 pounds!

Oh....and like fishing contests...if someone is so inclined to cheat...then cheat they will! I don't think I need the plugs that bad!

Katie · 01-01-2008, 11:43 AM

scone · 01-01-2008, 10:25 PM

my scale reads error when i stand on it. i'm thinking about 265 but will get a defintive number in the next few days.

scone · 01-01-2008, 10:32 PM

ok, it turns out i'm 267. had the wife read it (guess my gut was in the way). what i thought was "err" really read 267.
so it's official, i'm fat and i need new glasses too!

spinncognito · 01-02-2008, 11:32 AM

OK- I do not own a scale but the one at work told me I weighed 241.
This is as good of a motivational tool as any I have seen....
