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?"

Cost, is one plug to winner. As an EASE of delivery, you can send $23 to the S-B Paypal account (link on front Page) and I'll add that up so you can order some pluggage from one of our sponsors. Otherwise plugs must be in to me by Jan 15th

When does it begin? Officially: January 1st but you can stretch out to the 15th (or longer but the longer you go, more disavantaged you are).

• Weekly weigh ins?
• Track percentage lost with greatest percentage winning.
• No surgical or like methods. A friend had lap band surgery and lost 80 pounds in a couple months mostly due to the resulting infection. This doesn't mention the nasty operation needed to get the infection under control.

What else?

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'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!!!!!
