Skinny Marv, now thats just bragging.......

Marv sent me a picture of his "snow storm". Yes, we see the snow....... But prominently displayed is Skinny Marv (one year after starting the Challenge), looking skinny. He even has an hour glass figure. And just to make me even more (mad) he is looking skinny standing in puffy winter clothes!

Now that's just bragging......

This is not a picture of a snow storm. It's Skinny Marv bragging.....

BTW - I asked Marv how much he was weighing....... 204lbs

Bragging I tell you, just plain bragging......

Is Jimmy Short in or not?????

Is Jimmy in the Challenge or not?  Last he was smack talking, then at Disney, and now nothing, nada.  Is the PhD of technology having technical difficulties?

(the offer of Jimmy attending our homeschool computer class still holds).....

New Guy - Mike Hodges......

Ok gang, we have a new guy to add to the group.  My good friend Mike Hodges (aka Marv Stone Jr.).

Mike and Marv remind me a lot of each other (very tall/big guys, have southern accents, like to eat, like to "make" BBQ, and both are able to tolerate me with a good hearted spirit (thats hard to find in a friend)).

I introduced Mike to the Challenge and to LoseIt early on.  I have no idea when the Challenge has started but Mike after a few days on LoseIt was game-on because he had already lost 4 lbs.  So be sure to put Mike on your LoseIt friend list.  He is (hodges  ms  01)----  all one word. At Yahoo dot com.


Just to give you perspective on Mike's ginormous size.......

Mike is in charge of "Cub Scout Security", here I am pointing out a war wound from his security role (it's not blood though, its ketchup, from eating a hotdog (Mike could lose a few pounds)).

Dinner at Downtown Disney

Why yes I would like to order something. Let me have one rice krispy treat, 3 chocolate covered marshmallows, one fancy caramel apple, and one pretzel drizzled with chocolate, caramel, and chocolate chips.

Disney Vacation

I am heading to Disney this afternoon. We have reservations at lots of great resturants. I'm guessing this will not be good for my numbers!

That's Amazing Jimmy.......

Wow, just this morning Jimmy posted his LoseIt "10 Pound Badge".  Now tonight he has lost a total of 18 pounds.

At 3am he should be able to post his LoseIt "20 Pound Badge".


Those colonics must be working out for you.....

Ten Pound Club badge!

Check out the sweetness, I'm in the club, lose it says so!!!

You Can Check My Stats

I am starting out at 192.5 this year and will be down to 173 by 4/1/11. Where are you starting? Smackie!!!

Jimmy "Muffin Top" Short looking for picture commentary......

Ten Percent Challenge 2011 Anyone?

Hello everybody!!!

It's that time of year again, January is in full swing and I don't know about you but I have put on a few pounds over the holidays. Rob called me the other day and mentioned something about starting up the challenge again this year but did not seem like he was too enthusiastic about it. I'm just chumming the water to see if anyone is interested. What do you think?

I'm looking forward to the comments on the photo, I know you won't let me down!!!

Wow, 275 to 231 to 206

Skinny Marv is now down to 206 (from initial 275). I am stunned....

I'm starting to feel phat again.....

Ok, so I'm starting to feel phat again. Add that, and we never finished the weigh-in's, collected our cash, or ridiculed the losers. Plus, this was suppose to be a two part challenge. First losing the weight, then keeping it off.

So I am firing up the blog.


BTW - the above pict. is from my travels last week. Texas BBQ for lunch every day. Yum!

(I am so feeling phat)

275 to 231

OK. We're out of town tomorrow, so here's my photos. I weighed in this morning, but I'll do it again tomorrow just to make it official!

210 to 188

My weigh in is complete at 188!!!

Woo hoo!!!

Your turn boys I am waiting you you guys to post some numbers and pics!

Read It and Weep...Smackie!!!

(Sung to the tune in my head...accompanied by the happy dance...)
There ain't gonna be no Speedo,
no Speedo,
no Speedo,
There ain't gonna be no Speedo,
no Speedo,
no Speedo,
There ain't gonna be no Speedo for meeeeeeee!!!

I'm out.....

I'm out....  I'm 10lbs over my goal and decided that I don't want to starve myself for the next two weeks.  You guys rock (I don't).

How do we pay out?  10lbs * $25 = $250

I owe the group $250.

Good luck to everyone.

Free Hashbrowns

If my nearest Waffle House wasn't 300 miles away, I would SO be all over this!



10 Days to go...

Bon Voyage!

Wow, watching the Rob and Will thing has been like watching a train wreck! I want to look away, I just can't!

So, on a friendlier note...

I'll be leaving today for my cruise. I'm currently 8 lbs. below my target, so we'll see if I can stay away from the buffet enough to keep from adding it all back. There's no CHEAP phone or internet access on the ship, so you won't see any of my postings on LoseIt for awhile. I'll still be keeping up though, so don't think I've gone all Rob Williams on this thing and disappeared!

Everyone have a great week and keep losing!

Aikido Training.....

Will Pringle, the only way that you are going to get money from me is if you pull it from my cold dead Aikido hands. 

The only thing that I am worried about Seattle is if the airline will let me on with these deadly weapons.  

With all that smack talk, why don't you put some money where your mouth is.....  I have issued additional bet(s) to you that have gone unanswered.

Be afraid Will Pringle, be *very* afraid.....

But I don't take, American Express...

This note is to Rob "My Elusive 34's" Williams.

FYI - when I see you in Seattle on April 10th, I prefer that you bring cash to pay your bill. And my Flip camera is going to record the whole proceeding. I can hear you now... wah, wah... "I'm so sorry Will that I ever thought I could be as skinny as you."

Please Rob, stop groveling. "You're the greatest Wilmeister... and Marv, Jimmy, Ken, Dave and Alex too. I don't know why I ever doubted you guys and thought I could lose more weight than you".

Man Rob, you know we can't stand it when you grovel! But, that said, from this moment on you must forever refer to yourself as "THE LOSER" and the five of us as Bones, Slim, Stretch, Stringbean and Skeletor".

You're going down Rob Williams... and don't forget to pack your crying towel for the trip to Seattle - you're going to need it!
