The Great 2007 HBT Belly Off Competition

[Fiery Sword]

yooper, i think that's a overly fair offer. even on the no nude photo. i'm streile, anyway, after seeing cheese's new avatar.

 

[ayrton]

I'm sorry- I'm not playing. I'll still try to lose a few, but not "officially". I will send a beer to the winner, though.

I'm not playing for only one reason- no way I can win! If I lose, say 10 pounds, that's like 8% of my body weight. If I lose 10% (about 13 pounds), I'd be pretty emaciated. So, I'll commit to lose a healthy amount of weight, while rewarding the true winner of the contest. Is that ok with you guys?

And no, I"m not sending a nude picture of myself to the winner (I think that would be what Cheese would be asking for). Beer or nothing.

Whatever you want to do is great, but it'd be cool if there was a way to make it so that you could win too. The fairest thing of all would be to calculate a loss of percentage of body fat (especially since muscle weighs more than fat), but that's hard to calculate without getting a physical.

Yea, JC, he's got a kindred torso in MA too, except mine spent some time at the Hair Club For Men.

Yours too huh? may have to take care of the winters growth before i snap a picture...................

You just made me spit my coffee on my computer. Now, that's funny right there.....

I personally think Cheese's picture is HOT- for real. To have the body confidence to proudly pose like that is the coolest thing. Women really get turned on by confident men who are comfortable in their bodies. Also, I heard a rumor that men who love food and are a bit more um, heavier, than their ultrafit jock peers are more likely to be "giving" to us women. (I realize that this is a work/family safe forum, so that's the best way I can explain it) Therefore, the picture of Cheese is HOT.

 

[ill.literate]

I'm not sure I'll go so far as Cheese... but I'm dang glad Shimms finds me hot.

I've not weighed myself in recent weeks, but I'll do so tonight and post it.

I'm in

 

[Brewsmith]

Count me in. I just weighed myself on the industrial scale at work and I'm right at 240. I'll post an ugly pic of me later tonight.

That's right, *******. Brad Pitt - you ain't fat! You ain't nothin. You ain't fat!

Yo, ding-dong. Ding-dog.

 

[ayrton]

Excellent...it's all going according to plan. We've got lots of people signing up, and Cheese has posted a pic of himself in flaming underwear. Muahahaha!

 

[rod]

i thought you stated shirted - but i can expose the "great white north" tonight if you dare me

I did make that request, but it was all in fun and I don't really care what people do. I really just wrote it so I wouldn't have to have the level of cojones that Cheese already displayed.

 

[rod]

So long as customs doesn't come and kick my ass if you win and I send you some beer, then I see no problem!

unfortunately i know my willpower(or lack thereof) concerning my homebrew so i am pretty sure winning is out of the question.
i just want to reduce the great white expanse below my ribs.
i am more than willing to ship "live yeast samples" to the actual winner

 

[Vermicous]

I am in on this, nothing else seems to motivate me to lose weight so maybe free beer will.

Do it! The more of us that join, the more beer you could win!

 

[RichBrewer]

What the hell. I'm in. I just put my nekked butt on the scale and I came in at a whopping 229! I would have sworn I was no more than 220.
6' 2" 229.

 

[Cheesefood]

6'2" tall, 252 lbs.

I'm bringing weights to work tomorrow so I can do some curls while I'm sitting there.

 

[Fingers]

This is the first week in months where the temp is supposed to be above freezing (during the day) all week. I've got beer and barbecue on the brain. This is no time for dieting! I'll root for you all, though.

Go chubby!!!!

 

[Walker]

I'll give it shot. I really need to shed some pounds.

5'10", 220 lbs.

This picture is pretty representative of the slob I've become (I'm on the left):

 

[Walker]

Hey, Cheesefood and ayrton...

I don't know if you noticed, but you both have the exact same avatar.

 

[Short Drive]

I'm in. Here's a picture of me in October. Right now I'm 5'6" 278. Do we get to keep drinking beer?

Al

Now that just wasn't nice...

 

[Ivan Lendl]

Hey this sounds great!
Ive been meaning to get back in shape. I bought a gymn membership about 2 months ago and havent gone. Ill destroy all of you fat asses because I only weigh 160, and can drop 30 lbs in 3 months.
Bring it on!

If you're enough of a freak to quit drinking beer to win beer, then you've got some serious competition issues. Besides, who asks if they have to quit drinking beer on a beer drinking forum? Only people who don't like you would say yes. You look like one of us so.... keep drinking.

 

[McKBrew]

I'm in as well. I'll post my pic and weight this weekend. The timing is perfect, as the Belly Off contest I am starting at work will be wrapping up about the same time.

 

[Reverend JC]

130 huh. i hope you are about 5'0". much taller and you will look like a starving little kid. all you need to do is let flys land in the corners of you eyes to complete the emaciated look.

Yeah thats right, im talking sh!t already and its so earyly in the competition.

 

[Fiery Sword]

Sh*t JC's kicking it up a notch - and I've got his back. No skinny little homebrewboy is gonna take this competition.

I'm in @ 5'-9", 232. Low and slow, baby. Low and slow.

 

[Walker]

Would having something amputated disqualify me?

 

[Reverend JC]

not if you post a video of it happening.

 

[Ivan Lendl]

Yeah, heres my future pic,
(5'7 130 lbs)

 

[Fiery Sword]

You will meet your demise, IvanSan.

 

[SpamDog]

Well I am in.. aslong as it isn't too late.. and as long as no-one minds that I don't have any beer to send.. I can send some of my spiced apple cyser.

Otherwise I am 6'3" 258# as of this morn
