Foul - Unsanctioned Weight-loss Challenge

Call it either my OCD, or an eight year blog named "Ten Percent Challenge", but an 8% challenge is not working for me.  IDK - there have been at least 3-4 ten percent challenges (over an eight year period).  Maybe I follow this quote too close to heart:

"Once is happenstance, Twice is coincidence, Three times is tradition." 

Good luck to the 8%'s.  I'm out.

Did you weigh in?

Honestly, Jimmy irritates me.  I can't figure him out, if he does it accidental or on purpose (I suspect both).  He just asked me if I weighed in.....

Before I answer that, lets look at the record.  Seven years ago JS started at (192.5lbs) EXHIBIT A, now in 2018 he is starting at (207.8lbs) EXHIBIT B.  Whoa!!!

He has to lose 15lbs just to get to his 2011 weight!!!  Then to (178-132lb) range.  WOW!

Did I weigh in???  Yes, JS, I did weigh in.  I used something more accurate than "Tanita".  I used a Publix Scale (the Gold Standard for weighing in) - see below.

EXHIBIT A

Am I reading this right, JS started at 192.5lbs. (cir. 2011)

EXHIBIT B

Now JS is 207.8lbs, starting....... (cir. 2018)

And did I weigh in???

(Publix Scale)

Yes. Looks like 208.65lbs according to Publix.  "Did I weigh in?".  Can you believe he asked me that?

2018 - New Challenge?

I don't know whats going on.  WP has offered some weight loss challenge that is 8%, bla, bla, bla.

He lost me at the 8% part.....

It's 10% (and usually for 100 days).  Not some liberal Massachusetts (where everyone who participates is a "winner") eight percent (8%).  Maybe that's his state income tax (mine's 0%) - but this is not the 8% challenge.

WP has to get with the program, before I'm on board.  8% an't it.
