Official Portly Angler Challenge Thread.
 

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. :D

Thats it.

any questions feel free to ask

***Weigh-in Update Weight/Percentage lost so far***

Im in

355lbs

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

Goal is 270 by fishing season!

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.

I want to wish everyone good luck

I'm in at 220 ... if thats ok .. 185 ..180 .. I'm a machine ..

I'm in.....good luck to all

215??? I would kill for 215!:musc:

I'm in @ 185 and hope to be out at 155 (16.2%), then eat till I'm 185 again and try this again next year.

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

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 .

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!

Lady Option :)
pm sent!

:rotflmao:
someone is serious about this :musc:
no knob on mine...wifey says it's pretty accurate, compared to the one at the gym.....

I'm pretty sure we are all honest Anglers....I trust you all....just not near my Plug Bag

I'm out .. already 210 ..1ts time at gym was after xmas .. good luck .. former portly angler .. :btu:

bahaha
Id kill for your 300... although 250 is the eventual goal

I'm in.
Will weigh in when I get home tomorrow.
Zac

I'm in.

I'll take a pic in the morning of the wscale while standing on it.

Posting what I weigh is going to be embarassing.

I'm In....a Robust 266 :shocked:

On the scale and a pic for later comparison.....

i'm in
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.

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!

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....

I am in....

YIKES!!!

271 lbs. My all time high.

Goal: 215. This ain't gonna be easy.

so with that, I'm in, let the games (torture) begin.

Zac

Updated the List above

It's the drugs!!!!

I'm in @ 229.5 lbs .I'd like to see 170 like when I got out of Basic training.180 would be perfect.Took off my pants and shirt lost an instant pound.This is the biggest I've been.

OMG This sucks, I am so F'n hungry,
I started today and went to the gym, this health food does not last
in your tummy.

Torture is right Zac.

I plan on gaining weight :pop::laugha:

Weighed myself tonight at the gym ... back to 220 plus 1 lb. :doh:

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:err:

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

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 %#^&:af: ,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 :bl:. 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 :wall:

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

Ummmmmm.....errrr.....:hidin:.....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!!!:laughs:

I need this can I get in 363 lbs. The heavy weight of the group..yikes

please no more feet pictures !!!!!!!!! its one thing to be over weight but keep the toes crap too yourselves . socks wont help WE BELIEVE YA

DAMN !!!

All updated we have 15 entered....thats a Dozen plugs to the winner and 3 for the 2nd place Guy/Gal...Good Luck everybody.

Should we all send a plug now so you can post pics? Maybe some good motivation???:drool:

Thats actually not a bad idea.. Id be willing
