Portly Angler Challenge 2010 - Official Thread
 

Here are the rules for the challenge, slightly modified from 2010.

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). You can 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 2010....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

Ok, I'll start.

I'm in but I got to find a scale!

I will weigh my self after I digest the 18 pc buffalo wing, Lg fries and salad for health. Give you guys a chance... :biglaugh:

Im in.

I'm NOT.

233 lbs.

Fat Boy jredfly is in at 218
 

Here it is 218 in my underwear - not pretty and yes I did have to suck in my stomach to take the picture. May the games begin! :musc:

234 plus. This is sick. I should be 205. Even less.

I have a very special BigFish plug I'll send to the winner as a bonus, assuming the loss is 35 pounds + :hihi:

-spence

I'm in at 220 naked on the button and nothing to look at:fury:

Some scales don't go where I'm tipping in at lately :af:

I've never really seen Nebe drink, his fat has been build via pulled pork :hihi:

-spence

266..ill post scale pics later. Where do we send the plugs to john?

288 #'s last night 6 p.m.

One big fat happy family!
 

Glad to see John let BrianS in - the more the merrier I say!!! One big fat happy family - Can we keep a total weight for the group? That would be cool to see total poundage. Anyone on the MA South Shore that want to meet up to walk Nantasket or any other suggested area on Saturdays or Sundays:gh:

Joining in late isn't a problem. The later you join the more of a challenge it gets but whenever you join it'll be good for you - that's what counts.

As for the plugs, I'll probably have people bring them to the shows and drop off - no need to mail individually.

this is true... I drink about a case of beer a year.

Soda is my poison... Working across the street from one of the best dinners in the state doesn't help either....

Nebe's avatar hypnotizes me, then I eat munchies. MUST LOOK AWAY


my scale lies :eek:

MY LAST SUPPER/INDULGENCE. I went to the Venus tonight for a my last supper. I don't usually eat like this and I feel like crap right now but it was great.
1st 1 glass of water and a coors light
2nd fancy bread with olive oil dipping sauce
3rd clam chowder
4th half of a 2.5lb baked stuffed lobster with scallop stuffing
also 4th 2 baked stuffed jumbo shrimp with potatoes and veggies
also 4th 1 bottle of white wine
And dessert. 1 expresso, 1 tall johnny walker black neat and a warm brownie with hot fudge, ice cream and whipped cream.

Time to break out the Richard Simmons tapes and a head band:biglaugh: That's after 1 more drink. Vodka and cranberry.:uhuh:

OK I was at the Doc's today and got the official weight. This is not good. Good luck everyone!

:drool::drool:

I miss the Venus so much. Best baked stuffed lobster hands down in my book. You dropped some serious coin there my friend also! I think if I had to have my last meal on earth ever you just nailed it though minus the Coors Light and White Wine.

OK - weights are entered in :fury:

We'll have people post weights after the 1st and 15th of the month - good luck everyone!

forgot to post starting weight. 308 lbs.:smash:

Good Luck Gentlemen :kewl:

238

Good work MAC

OK folks, time to get your fat azzes up on the scale :devil2:

251

320

John as we spoke I'm going to lower my starting weight from 220 to 212. My scale was off a bit and I don't want to cheat anyone. So I'm going with 212 as a starting weight. So 212 for me.

305

This fatboy is in at 213 - down 5 :wall:

247, a pound per week works for me.

297

Real bad since I was 277 when I got back from China in March and have been "watching my weight" since. I gained 25 pounds while "dieting" (I went as high as 302 but lost 5 since Christmas).

I can diet really strict for 2 weeks and lose 7 pounds but then in one weekend put back on 15 (no exageration) . Its just incredible how fast I can gain and how slow I lose. I will spike up 4 pounds the morning after going to Olive Garden for soup and salad!!

I assume other Portly People have this same issue of rapid up but slow down?

I remember I used to buy all my dress clothing from Anderson Little (now gone) . Their cloths fit me perfectly right off the rack. One day when I went in and wanted a suit. The guy measured me and says OK follow me. He brought me to a rack that had a sign "Portly". That was my first Portly experience. I wanted to kill the guy. I let him give me a couple of jackets (my plan was to be polite then leave that A hole and go somewhere else) to try on and to my great dismay , the damned jackets fit perfectly. My heart sunk to the floor!! :( One of those days you wish you could forget.
