[Beermaker]

LOL. Its in my gallery now.

 

[freyguy]

Just got back from Belgium. I was too scared to weigh myself this week. Maybe I'll gather up some courage and do it next week.

Everybody still trying, or has beer taken over again?

 

[Ryanh1801]

I lost a few, But im pretty sure i have gained it back this week. End of school always kills my diet. Its hard to eat right when your in the library non stop.

 

[Brewing Clamper]

I've been drinking like a fish and eating cheesecake, chocolate lava cake, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, etc that were left over from my party. I don't think I'm going to win.

Keep it up SD. No wonder no one has bet me!
Come summer those pounds will melt away.

 

[Ryanh1801]

Im starting Rugby 7's practice tonight. 2 hours of nothing but running ought to help. Then on sat. Im doing a 40 mile bike race. Im done with school in a few weeks and will be able to refine my diet. Be scared be very scared. Yeah right, If i can lose 15 pounds by the end of this I will be happy.

 

[ayrton]

My weight will remain a secret until the end of the competition (read: I suck at this).

Just remember: a whole CASE of homebrew if you win. Now go run a mile!

 

[SpamDog]

Mmmmm... homebrew.... Dangit Ayrton... I am trying to LOSE weight.. .not get blasted.. get the munchies and eat all the chips and oreos I can find..

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.
