2012 Portly Angler A/K/A Biggest Freikin Wader Contest
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
2011 winner - Kearp1 (Pam)
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
Mail plugs to (or bring to kick off party)
John Redmond
P.O. Box 9183
Warwick, RI 02889
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?
Who's in:
Me

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.

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.
