I spent al day yesterday watching The Biggest Loser marathon and then the season premier for the new one. I am now seriously motivated. I need to lose approximately 75lbs and for me, Staying motivated is difficult so a dangling carrot helps me focus. I am proposing that anyone who is looking to lose some extra pounds and wants to wager on a little fat loss race Join here. I say we all put up 5 smokes, they don't have to be the best, I don't want to leave anyone out if they don't have a bunch of super premium smokes, but don't send dog rockets if you lose, $4-$8 range.
This is all on the honor system, so proven traders, with several months, minimum, board membership only. Pm me if you have questions.


I will accept entries when ever. Obviously you will just have less time to lose.
Post your current weight
and we will go off Percentage of boby weight lost, it's how they do it on TV. Meaning a 200lb man losing 20 pounds lost 10% of his weight, and a 150lb man who losing 17 pounds lost 11.33% of his weight and lighter man would win. We will weigh in each Monday morning to keep track of our progress. Each week's new weight will be posted in this first post.

Time frame is now until April 1ST.

Nice going Dave! Keep up that motivation.
with the exception of tonights BBQ and Beer, I am on a low cal, low fat exercise plan

Hmmm, can I stay motivated enough to do this? How long will the contest run?

From now until April 1st, 90 days. And I know your collection is plenty big enough to handle the loss of 5 smokes. I'm counting you in...go weigh your self fatty.

250 for this fat ass.

That's what I get for not working out after getting a full time job.

The game is on!

Great idea...we're doing one at work for 3 months as well.

Unfortunately, I don't stand a chance to win, because I already lost 20 pounds this last summer, and I'm now only 10 lbs from my target weight already. I'm 6'-1" and 195lbs, and I only need/want to get to 185lbs....so that's only 5.5% or so.

But y'all have fun! I can attest to the fact that losing weight is awesome!
