The Great 2007 HBT Belly Off Competition

[z987k]

Hmm well I'm up to 180 now. I bet I get 10lbs more by the end of next month which will put me at my normal summer weight, which is actually heavier than in the winter because I work out a lot more.

Just though I'd be a smart ass.

 

[dibby33]

I have put on two pounds. Going to start dieting soon....



.....maybe

 

[Yooper]

How's everybody doing with the contest? I haven't heard any talk of this for a while, so I thought maybe you guys were getting discouraged. Has anybody lost at least 25 pounds so far?

 

[Ryanh1801]

Just got weighed at the hospital I have lost a whooping 5 pounds. So is getting my gallbladder out next week considered cheating? Do I need to find out how much it weighs to add that back in?

How much gall do you have in you?

 

[Ryanh1801]

Well I keep telling my self around 20 pounds. But im sure thats not the case.

How'd that go?

 

[Ryanh1801]

pretty good, they did not have to do it open so im grateful for that. But the pain meds made me very sick so I had to do with out them. Im just looking forward to a steak next week, (I have not had red meat since dec.)

 

[olllllo]

Cool, glad to hear it.
They have steak in Texas?

If you have that kind of willpower, you should be kicking ass.

Only the best streaks in Texas. Not really will power more like scared of ending back in the ER because of it. Im sure im too behind for the this contest,to do any good but i still plan on losing 60 pounds this year some how.

Yeah, me too. Now where's that keg...

 

[Cheesefood]

248 this morning.

 

[dibby33]

Went for a run on Saturday morning to prove to the wife that I was not hungover. It hurt. A lot. Four days later I am thinking about another run. I don't want to weigh myself! ...should we have a sub-competition for the most amount of weight gained?

 

[Beermaker]

289 and counting......

 

[SpamDog]

Down to 245!! Not as far as i want to be.. but closer than before!

[McKBrew]

For any of you who have had luck losing, congrats. I haven't lost any (because I haven't been trying). But, I really need to, I'm tired of buying bigger work pants.

Really wish the Navy had relaxed fit uniforms. I think the whole thing with "relaxed fit" is just to make you feel better about being bigger. My work pants are a 38, but my relaxed fit jeans have more room and are only 36's.

 

[EdWort]

Down to 290. Whoo Hooo. Now back to making another batch of Apfelwein.

 

[Ryanh1801]

Just figured I would give this a bump the end is coming!!

 

[SpamDog]

THE END IS NEAR!!!! THE END IS NEAR!! CLEAN YOUR SOUL THE END IS NEAR!!!

hehe... always wanted to do that

Damn, See what happens when you are away from the board too long.

I could have waited to start losing weight, I started on March 9th at 225 and am now at 174 for a total of 51lbs; 22.6% less filling. Since I can't brew again until the screwed up builder finishes my house in September (the original move in date was July I'm not holding my breath for September either) It wouldn't be fair to enter since I couldn't pay for months if I didn't win. (I'll post pics anyway just because I'm pretty proud of myself)

The lesson here kiddies is hang out at the board even if it bums you out you can't brew.

 

[steve s.]

Oh, man, just recently joined the forum and just saw this thread, noting the end of the competition is near...

Maybe if there is a round two I'll help out if I can with general advise...you see, I run a gym.

I think this is great, though: the homebrew crew can still get their weight loss on! Great job all you competitors!

 

[EdWort]

Down to 284 now. Had the annual physical and twirly bird and blood work. All is well, but some elevated enzymes in my liver, so my liver is on a 3 week vacation from over the counter meds and alcohol. It's from my days when I hurt my back and was taking ibuprofen 800mg like candy. No brew till 4th of July after my next blood test.

In the mean time, I'm dropping pounds.

 

[Cregar]

damn.. i forgot all about the competition.. oh well

 

[RichBrewer]

Hey! I'm doing great! I've only gained 10 pounds.

 

[Ryanh1801]

I was down 10 pounds last week. Im going for a nice little 40 mile ride in the morning before I weight to get some of that water weight gone.

 

[freyguy]

I have no clue what competition you guys are talking about.

Let me know where to send the homebrew.

 

[SpamDog]

Just a recap of what I looked like at 258#

Now my new weight of 222ish # (I was 221 yesterday.. should have taken the picture then)36# lost for a total Percent Loss of 13.95%

And now the new Me!!! Note I had to tuck in my shirt so you could see what little belly I have left!!

Now that I am more than half way to my goal for my October wedding I am excited.. and so is SWMBO!!

[Yooper]

Wow- you look great! What a great weight loss. Keep up the good work!

 

[Ryanh1801]

[Ryanh1801]

Please let me know the address to send the beer to. I have a Belgian Wit, American Wheat and hobgoblin clone that was just bottled. Let me know what you want. IMO the Wit is great, have not tried the hobgoblin yet.

 

[olllllo]

[Cheesefood]

AWESOME. I don't think I've lost very much.

 

[Beermaker]

then i was on vacation june 23 to june 30 and forgot about the competition.
let me know where to send the beer - see my sig and take your choice.
congrats to whoever won!

 

[Vermicous]

I've lost some weight, but only about 5%. Let me know where to send the beer.

 

[EdWort]

I joined in on this and for some reason I headed the other way, peaking at 298.

Since then I've dropped to 278 and it's still coming off.

 

[Ryanh1801]

Got those beer's off to ya spamdog. Hopefully they make it in one piece.

 

[SpamDog]

Cool.. Thanks Ryanh1801, I'd like to thank ROD for my premium membership.. instead of sending me a beer for Customs to enjoy he gave the gift that keeps giving (no not that one.. a membership)

Woo-Hoo.. I Belong Now!!!
