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

[BigFish]

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

[JohnR]

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...

[BigFish]

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!!!

[Duke41]

[chris L]

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!

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.

Too late to get in on the "Chub Club"?
I was talking to Larry today. Told him how my wife and I bought an elyptical trianer for ourselves for Christmas. I've already started in on it. He suggested I try to get in on this.
I thought I was just bloated from water weight. Maybe I'm just bloated.
I'm just about to the point of needing a new scale At 270lbs., I give you; FatBob

[whiplash]

Just got back from the Doc's and received the great news that I am prediabeticoke: Doc says if I loose 30 pounds and workout I can avoid the needle ,so that seems to be as good an incentive as ever
245 looking for 185. Let the games begin

[The Dad Fisherman]

What do you think guys...they're a little late but I don't have a problem with it....if you guys don't mind should we add them in?

[BigBo]

I'm already working on it anyways. If I don't, I'm gonna need a bigger kayak.

[fishsmith]

The more the merrier, I'm ok with stragglers.

I just got back from the No Name restaurant for lunch, mmmmmm mmmmmmmmm good, great prices and IMHO the best seafood around. It was tough just looking at the buttered bread though.

[Slingah]

more plugs for the winner...

[BigFish]

Yeah let them in....give one more cutoff time to join Kevin like tomorrow midnight and that will be it just to be fair! Oh.....I have not been in a Dunkin Donuts since Sunday morning!

[The Dad Fisherman]

Welcome to the Club Boys......Your officially in.
We will do an absolute cutoff on Saturday January 5th @ 11:59 PM

By the way we have over 2 tons of Angler registered for this

[striperman36]

Is that too large a quota?

[eagerangler]

Hey if the cutoff is tomorrow I'd love to get in. Will fork over a decent plug no problem might be nice to get into the low 200's guestimate weight today is around 245 will get official weigh in tonight. I'd offer up a plug I made but I think you guys might prefer I just buy one.

[JohnR]

Bought or made, either is fine...

Sincerely, Two Tons of Rock Hopping Fun.

[zacs]

you guys better throw some good wood in the pot. especially johnr... we know he is holding strong.
