Late weighing in....

 

[MrMoose]

 

[msavold]

Ok, I'm in too!

Weigh in will have to wait until tomorrow since I'm on the road now and I want to be consistent with one (home) scale. And BTW - traveling = weight loss!

[ @Julian - that 200 number is the one that drives me NUTS - but from the other side. Got to 227 and said that's IT a couple of years, spent a couple of months at just over 200. FINALLY see 198, go get my phone to document the event, get back on, 201! Are you F'ing KIDDING me? Gradually back to 218/220 range since then. And then just before New Year's got read the riot act by the doc. Sigh.]

A little late but here it is.

 

[Big Shasta]

My scale is crapped out..(NO , I DIDN'T OVERLOAD IT)...the display is only half reading...but from what I CAN read...It's a damn liar anyway....New one arrives today.

I hear ya! 200 is my upper limit now. When I go over it is unacceptable. I hit 220 as a max once, was diagnosed with sleep apnea, wife complained about me snoring too much. Lost the weight, apnea stopped, snoring abated....so my goal now is to stay under 190, and if I can hit 180 for boating season, I'll be delighted! I'm 6'1" and my BMI says I need to be <185....so that would be perfect! Now with $50 on the line...I have a reason to try harder...I assume we are doing this on a % basis....otherwise I'm donating money ... LOL

Don't worry @Big Shasta , after this weight loss contest, you'll have to change your user name to Slim Shasta... and maybe I'll have to change from Mr. Moose to Mr. Mouse.

 

[msavold]

Crappy picture, crappy weight.

At least it makes the goal an even 40! (Honestly, I'd settle for 30.)

 

[Shuck Water]

Ugh......

 

[Ziess21]

I'm in! Need to get a pic of the scale but it was 208 as of Monday. Hoping to get closer 10 185 by July.

 

[Julian]

Finally got around to a photo of the scale this week...F#$% up 2lbs since last Saturday.....and this "entertaining clients crap" continues next week in Dallas, then Long Beach, then Virginia(which I think I'm on track to get out of!!!). I have to stop ordering those huge steaks!

 

[jfkraus]

OK, I'm in. Never dieted before, but it's gotten out of control. I'll weigh in tomorrow, but last I checked I was 220. My goal is 200.

 

[Julian]

@Big Shasta is there a plan on how to track and when?

 

[MIDLIFECRISIS]

I'd be in but I'm getting the lower back fused on the 19th. Won't be able to do much exercising for a while.

I have a friend who had his three of four lowest vertebra fused. It made a huge positive change in his life.

 

[Big Shasta]

@Big Shasta is there a plan on how to track and when?

Yeah, Sorry I've been ragged between work and a bathroom remodel.

I'll get a tracking spreadsheet going in the next day or so. @Murf'n'surf will hold the money, How about a long term....13 weeks....with march 1 being the final? Or we could go longer as a lead in to summer....first Monday in april or may being the final? I'm not gonna be in the money this time, my funds are seriously in this bathroom project.

 

[veedubtek]

Not in the money, but I do want to do this. I do want to find the motivation. I was hoping beer would start tasting bad all of a sudden, but it hasn't yet? 207.7 this morning for me.

 

[Julian]

I vote for April 1 as the end....I'll need as much time as possible!

 

[jfkraus]

218 for me this morning. Cutting out the wine and whiskey during the week. Down to a handfull of nuts and dried berries for breakfast and an apple for lunch. Now for some portion control at dinner!
