The Great 2007 HBT Belly Off Competition

[ayrton]

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

SpamDog

No such thing as too late. Bring it on! Should I compile a list as this thing goes on and then edit the OP with names and original weights? Hmmm...we can call them our original gravities!

 

[ayrton]

Hey, Cheesefood and ayrton...

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

I have this strange feeling that Cheese is going to weigh 175 pounds soaking wet at the end of this thing.

 

[dblvsn]

Would having something amputated disqualify me?

You'll have to ask Dude about that!

 

[ill.literate]

I didn't get around to posting last night, but I weighed in at a svelte 270 pounds as of last night. I'm 6'3".

No pics around at the moment... but I'll keep looking.

Oh, I'm sure I can find one or two.

You're double my weight

 

[Cheesefood]

So you probably don't want him in the competition, right?

My SWMBO will love you guys for encouraging me. I crush her.

That's cause you're LEAN.

But at least I'm good at keeping you warm at night

All right, all right. Enough of that you two. No PDA.

 

[Thaumaturgist]

I'm in!

5'6, and weighing in at 210 lbs....

Do you need a pic? I can prolly find one if it's necessary.

Yes, preferably one of you and one of the scale, but we might be forced to take people at their word. Anyway, welcome!

 

[Reverend JC]

Great, after looking at the list of people i now see that yes, infact, i am the biggest guy here.

Breakfast everymorn and an apple and some postachios around 10:30. exercise everynight BITHCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring it on!

 

[ayrton]

I wonder if we can get this thing as a sticky until it's over. Walker, I'm looking in your direction?

Anyway, I don't want to trash talk. I'm above that.

 

[Desert_Sky]

Good luck guys.....


ready, set......GO!

 

[Vermicous]

I am 6 feet tall.

Here is my current weight. Call it 224 I guess.

This photo is from October, but it is the only one I have of me standing.

Here is one from a couple of days ago

https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=2659&catid=member&imageuser=4138

One of these days I will figure out how to post pictures directly into a post instead of links.

 

[TheJadedDog]

Good luck to all the official contestants. Personally, there is no way I can keep up a weight loss regimen for 3 months (how else do you think I got this fat?) so I'm out although I am going to try and start running a little each day as an unofficial participant.

 

[Fiery Sword]

I'll get the photos up today.....I lost my friggin memory card reader and have been trying to get motivated to find it for a week now.....this is a good excuse. The 232 I quoted earlier was from a few weeks ago so the 'official' photos might adjust my entry weight. In the meantime, I'm going to Burger King.........

LMAO!

I had a reuben for lunch today... that's low fat, no?

 

[ayrton]

No. You should have had some french fries to keep the calories down.

 

[ill.literate]

I opted for the potato salad.

It was a true deli.. no fries on the menu!

 

[Cheesefood]

Bowl of oatmeal cereal and goldfish crackers.

For breakfast: a fiber one bar.

To drink: water.

Oooooh, playing dirty already. I love it!

 

[EdWort]

I'll right. I'm in. 6'4" @ 289. I don't know about a self portrait. Perhaps my beer belly. It's All Grain, ya know.

 

[Cregar]

This sounds great... I'm in... looks like everyone is a light weight.

I'm coing in at 5'9" @ 280#.

Will post a pic tonnight, goodluck all

 

[todd_k]

6'3" and 237 the last time I was on a scale, which was about a month ago. I don't actually own a scale but I'd have to say I'm somewhere are that # right now.
Not sure if the ol' self esteem can take any more depressing weight news. I worked out for a year and ended up gaining 10 pounds. Now I haven't been to the gym in over 2 months.
I'll try to post a more current weight in a couple days...

 

[EdWort]

Ok, I'm not going to drink any beer for 3 months! That will surely help.















Except on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Mornings.














And occasionally on Wednesdays....

























And perhaps a Tuesday or Thursday.... Just to make sure the aging process is going well.

 

[ayrton]

Awesome! List is updated. Anyone have anything against me putting the list and weights in the OP? PM me if so and I won't.

I only ever eat an apple for breakfast, but I accidentally forgot mine today (which is bad, really, because food starts your metabolism in the morning). I ate the apple, a pickle, some granola, and a couple pretzels for lunch. Dinner was low-calorie sub. Day 1 is complete! I am going to have nearly a case of homebrew come June!

 

[todd_k]

here's a tip for people who love to eat chips. Stacy's Pita Chips are really good and not nearly as bad for you. I like the Parmesan Garlic and Texarkana Hot. The Barely Naked ones are ok but all they have is sea salt.

 

[McKBrew]

I will get the info to you Ayrton, I have to weigh myself somewhere else, my home scale is a piece of crap and varies about 5lbs or more at random times.

Whenever! I wouldn't lose anything in the meantime, though. In fact, go have some lard on a spoon.

 

[dibby33]

6'2" tall, 252 lbs.

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

I lose 10g each time I see your photo cheese
