Its that time of year - S-B Portly Angler competition ;) . Have you found yourself in this position before?


Waders losing watertight integrity?
Looking more and more like a Gray Seal to Great Whites?
Wearing your wetsuit on new moons only?
Canal Bike slowing down more going up the hills?

Have you been asking yourself:

"Does this wetsuit make me look fat?"

Knock down some of that spare tire, and join S-B members Biggest Friekin' Looser competition a/k/a the Portly Angler

2009 winner - ZachS
2010 winner - JRedfly

Would love to go and support y'all, but payday isn't till Friday -- sorry guys!

I'm in. When does the contest end? And what is the formula used for calculating percentage of weight loss? Thanks...

Jan 1 - June 1 > Start weight > Finish weight. Greatest percentage lost ;)

That was a stupid question. :smash: Thanks..

I'm in and I will be at the Luxe on Thursday.

Im in cant make the kickoff though

I'm in, can't make the kickoff.

I'm In...can't make Kick-off either....will post Weight Sunday AM

I'd be in but O'bama doesn't have any Federal Subsidies for this yet

Will anyone like to sponsor me by submitting a plug for the contest ?
Everyone is a winner but if I were to win the winnings would go up for auction with the monies going towards a good cause of the sponsor's choice that JohnR approves of.

I just saw the post about the kick off party so I missed it but I am in. I got so depressed after coming in only second (and being beat by a girl) last year that I gained all 32 pounds (I had started before the contest)and then some.

I went on a diet Xmass day so I am ready.

Allergies really kicked my @#$% this fall and I was not able to workout, thus the poundage. Captain Cupcake (aka jredfly) is in at 206.5. Being that I have won this before, if I do well this year I will be donating any plugs won back to the site. :)

Weigh in on the first of Jan

268 pounds

WTF, holidays, family parties and worked kicked me back up.

Oh well time to get thinner.

I gave my two plugs and some bucktails to JohnR on Thursday at Luxe.

Good luck guys and here's to a healthier 2012!!

Weighing in at an all time personal worst of #240.

For anyone interested theres some good free apps for the iphone/android to help track weight loss.

I use "weight tracker", its free, its easy, graphs your progress and gives you a countdown.

June 1st is 152 days away. Lots of time to make life long changes to increase your quality of life.

231.6lbs for me.
Ultimate goal is 165.

Good luck everybody!!!!!

I won once too, i have bounce around weight wise, right now i'm about half way between my heaviest and my lightest....

I'm out to due to a reoccurring injury. I am still dieting and doing cardio, but I can't lift like I want to. Good luck to all...

Would love to go and support y'all, but payday isn't till Friday -- sorry guys!

i don't know if theres a DCU credit union in your area

but when you bank with them and have direct deposit

Thought I would give you guys a head start so I am not going to start dieting until tomorrow. Sitting down right now to the wife's meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy. :jump1:

Weekly weigh ins....

323 last week - 323 today - haven't started yet as to being sick.

I'm going to say I'm in on this one. Will post weight when I get in, and monies will be sent via PP on Friday.

204.5 - Looked a Planet Fitness tonight, the weights looked heavy and the running would just make me tired (quote from Charles Barkley) so I didn't join. :uhuh:

Got a membership to Workout World before Christmas, been trying to go daily. Here's to a new year!

As of 1/9/12
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/rusticave/8868c137.jpg

i didn't weigh in on monday, but i weighed in today and I am down to 244.2 from 250. for me the first 10-15 are so easy to lose. i wish the rest came off so easily... i guess i'll weigh again on monday and then keep on weighing mondays from here forward.

whos keeping track?

395.0 this am.

Sorry for doing this so late. Kegger is kickin it. Zacs is off to a quick start. TDF is looking good. Nice job!
It is harder for me when the Pats keep doing well because I eat all the good football game food my wife makes. :uhuh:
This is mostly as of 1-8. I will update tonight or tomorrow when new numbers are in for this week.

i wish the rest came off so easily...


Spin classes....

In at 204. Went ice skating with the littlest guy yesterday at an MDC rink nearby. Had a blast, got a little exercise in plus it was free, nice to know I get something for my tax dollars. Feet don't move like they used to when I played hockey but it was still a lot of fun. :jump1:

Is weigh in on Sunday or Monday?

I agree with Zac on this one...I start off great but usually get stuck at some point.

50 crunches each night before bed and I on bent the diet rules for the Tebow game.

292 this am...down five this week

This week is full of danger for me...working road trip mid week and then it's off to Oklahoma to take a competition BBQ class and a meat cutting class. They are feeding us...yeah...I might be in big trouble.

If we could get weights in on Sunday nights that would be great. :uhuh:

Thanks

321

Wow! I made my plug donation of $23 via Paypal using the Donate to S-B function on the front page and it was super easy. I made a note that it was for the portly angler.
I think it took 5 seconds.

I also updated the 1/15 weight table with a few stragglers. :buds:

Made Paypal donation on Sunday. Need to get near a scale though I haven't done much. I'm a little bit of a tortoise, ha.

Wow! I think that is a new portly angler record for Zacs - 12 pounds in one week. That's awesome. Congratulations - keep it up. :uhuh:

I updated the weekly grid with the stragler info. If we could try and remember to weigh in sometime on Sunday that would be great. Thanks!

No change...

No change in standings New Jack and Kegger are doing great. Total weight loss for the Portly Angler team is 127 pounds. Lets see how quick we can get this over 200.

I updated the column as to who sent in plugs or paid by Pay Pal.

Still need plugs from Zacs, Basic Patrick and Slingah.

I hope he is OK but we haven't heard from Justintrask since the first week so I will PM him to see if he is still in or if I should take his name off the grid.

Thanks!

226.8

once again, sorry for the late info. not only is it hard for me to remember to weigh in on Sunday, but I never go online on Sunday anyway.

i will scroll through and figure out where I send the plug and get it out this week.

No Problem Zacs - Grid has been updated. Keep up the great work.

Three guys over or near 10% weight loss after seven weeks, that is awesome! :uhuh:

Here is how you can pay or send plug:

Sorry guys I've been on the road non stop for a few weeks. Although I'm following the diet for the most part my exercise has ended for a couple weeks and here we go...as expected back up to 294.

BUT...The Wife and I took some drastic action.

We took some Xmass $$ we were saving for a vacation and bought an elliptical machine from Sears. It should be home and built on Tuesday. Between the new machine and the two cord of wood that needs splitting I think I'm going to kick this weight loss thing into high gear on Wednesday.

Elipticals are awesome. My girlfriend and I bought one on cyber Monday just before Xmas. Love it. No impact on joints that you get from running. Well worth the investment!!!!!
Congrats on the new purchase.

I'll sweeten the pot a little bit with a $50 gift certificate to the SWE. It's an entirely worthy cause.

For those counting calories there's an Android app called Calorie Counter. Allows you to scan the barcode of a lot of things you might eat or drink or easily search items to make counting a lot easier, set up meals you have often, etc. Plug in your RDA and it has a running graph every day to see where you're at. Maybe they make it for iPhone too.

No, since I know what you're thinking, I haven't been on a diet to lose weight. I do have to make sure I eat enough depending on how much exercise I'm getting (usually cycling). 2700 to 3000 calories at day at times which is surprisingly hard to do if you're eating healthy.

Maybe they make it for iPhone too.

Down 166 pounds as a group.

If each one of us loses 3 pounds this week we could possibly go over the 200 mark next week - that would be awesome!

Great Job!!!

15 shy of 200 pounds for the group. :uhuh:

interesting fact i read today
to motivate you
it will certainly motivate me

for every pound your over weight
it equals 8 pounds on your joints
i don't get the math
but there ya go

huh??? back to the greenhouse raven! ;)

here's a quote

For every pound of body weight you gain, your knees gain three pounds of added stress; for hips, each pound translates into six times the pressure on the joints.

With every step you take, your moving body puts pressure roughly equal to three times your weight on your hips and knees.

Being only 10 pounds overweight increases the force on the knee by 30-60 pounds with each step.

Overweight women have nearly 4 times the risk of knee OA; for overweight men the risk is five times greater.

If you lose just 1 pound, you reduce by 4 pounds the force your knees must absorb when you walk.

Stopped using Splenda, read it was invented when trying to develop a pestiside - that can't be good for you. I started using Stevia that is natural sweetener and it tasted pretty good!

We need some plugs from other stragglers.

Patrick said he is going to give me his at the TFCTGFN event this coming Saturday night.

If you are going this is a good time to save on postage and donate your plug.

Check the grid to see if we have received your plug. If you sent one in or paid by Pay Pal and it is not noted please let us know.

We didn't get any plugs in for the Portly Angler contest at the TFCTFN.

We still need plugs from:

Zacs

Slingah

It really helps when you guys send them in so we don't have to keep on making requests in the thread and sending PM reminders.

Please pay by PP or send plug to:

Congrats! We made it over the 200 pound mark as a group. :)

I think Patrick probably meant 285 not 185, if not I am starting Atkins tomorrow. :biglaugh:

Looks like a few are starting to seperate themselves from the pack.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Time to cowboy up gentlemen! :horse:

I'm going to weigh in early this week...leaving tonight for a little R&R in Florida.

346.2 pounds this week.

Congrats to all of you, big time accomplishments. Keep up the great work. I didn't enter this year because I broke my hand right before xmas and couldn't lift. Hand finally healed and I've been hitting the gym like a beast. Started working out hard/dieting in Feb and I'm down to 238. When I started I was 265. 18 more pounds to go and i'll reach my goal for the summer. When the sun comes out, the guns come out. Train Hard! :musc:

Still at 193 - Tough being good with the kids Easter baskets, chocolate is my weakness. Usually I impose a hefty daddy tax but I am going to try and do things in moderation today. Might have to put in a couple of extra miles running this week. :fury:

Big No Change for me this week...Easter....to much Ham

Good thing I weighed in before dinner yesterday! :smash:

Need to make a push to the end...

280...slowly but surely

Sorry for not updating the grid earlier in the week - computer issues and as grandpa used to say "busier than a one arm paper hanger." :fury:

In at 190.5. Another 25 pounds to go but feeling better every time I see that scale move in the right direction. :uhuh:

Always been interested in P90X. I would like to hear how much time you have to put into it every day and the food plan. Good Luck!!!

Down 3 pounds even this week. Losing this much weight is starting to get expensive, I need to buy all new clothes!

218.4 i have plateaued. i need to change something up.

235 pounds total weight loss for the group. Let's try and hit 250 by the end of April. If we all lose 2 pounds this week we can do it. As Kevin Millar said "It's time to cowboy up". :horse:

318

A good week and a bad week. First the good news I ran under 10 minute miles in a 5k road race I did in 28:58. If you told me this three years ago when I joined the portly angler I would have laughed. Not too bad for a short little fat Irish guy in his 50's. The bad news is I gained 2 pounds and I felt like I ate all the right things. Starting to get frustrated any suggestions on trying to lose the next 25 pounds would be greatly appreciated. :smash:

New diet yielded no weight loss this week.

Bad week for me, ate crap and didn't exercise as much....up 2.7 pounds. Time to refocus this week!

i'm overseas and I don't have access to a scale. Plus I have been doing so/so on the diet. I'll weigh next week...

I've been slacking reporting in......no change though for me

This week :yak5:

I guess it was tough for everyone. I am just going to suck it up and work harder. Had a good work-out today and gonna try and bring it the rest of the week. Good Luck Gentlemen!:gh:

Finally in at 188 (remember think short fat Irish guy). Past few weeks have been hard because I have been eating right, exercising hard and not seeing anything on the scale. Nice to finally see some results. As TDF says it is not a diet it is a change of life. Hope some more guys had a good week. :uhuh:

i had a great week 216.6

The boys are back on track this week! Great Job! :jump:

I'm bad - 318

269, slowly getting back into it.

In at 186.5, not bad after splurging a little bit on my birthday this week. I think there were a couple of other birthday boys in the portly angler this week - hope you guys had a good one. :uhuh:

191.8......so close to the forty lb mark. Just have to wait another week

well there is the wrestlers diet. atleast 5 hours of intense work out a day and 2 small meals a day, like an orange counts as a meal, and normal fluids but just water. I went from 164 to 140 last year on it. sucks and i'd never recomend it but it works

210.4....at least it moved

215.2
big push this week.

Late grid update I have been sick as a dog all week, nothing serious though. Bronchitis with allergies really kicked my butt , can barely talk (which some people might find as a blessing) but feeling a little better today hence able to be on the computer.

The thing that really stinks is I have barely had a few bowls of soup and some crackers all week and I haven't lost a stinkin pound. :fury:

Anyway as I digress, still post your weights tomorrow and I will update again Sunday or Monday night.

Good Luck Gentlemen!!! :musc:

Finally did it. 190.6

Hello all...So I must have missed a weigh in or two hter lately...Atkins is working its wonders and I am just not cheating...I have been scaling on Sunday and today I was 266 lbs. OF course I was rising and MBBA Spring Meeting so I didn;t eat normal but the scale tonight when I arrived home was 266...44 waist pants have gone to the attic over the past week...

I will get that plug out this week
