Five Days Left!!

Spreadsheet updated!

Now with graphs!! Click a name, get a graph!

Our current leaders are (in order) Sara, Amber, Lynn, Erika and Romy, with Maureen and Jenn hot on their heels!

Last week guys, only a few days left, cut your calories, hit the gym, punch a mango, do what it takes!

Remember, our top % winner and our top lbs winner get cash, with consolation prizes for the second placers!

But if I don't get your money, or an indication that you will pay me, you can't win any cash! (Sara & Amber!).

Email me (tankstar@gmail.com) or text me (303-523-1813) if you haven't sent money yet!

ALMOST THERE

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday week off :)

Since no one sent in scores last week, we'll just have to write it off as 'holiday'.

But I hope everyone restarted after the turkey coma. We have exactly nine days left. 9.

NINE

Now is the time to push it to the limit. Challenge yourself. Rise above. Overcome. Do it. Yes we can. And all that jazz. Eat less for nine days. Walk more. Lift more. Dance more. F*** more. Whatever it takes*!

Just commit yourself these last nine days, it will probably look something like this:

Tuesday - eff it, I'm not eating that last cookie.

Wednesday - ugh, FINE I'll have diet coke.

Thursday - "What do you mean you're out of apple pie??! Dammit, just give me an apple then."

Friday - Diet red bull vodka s'il vous plait!

Saturday - Dancing, hold the 2am gravy fries.

Sunday - FOOTBALL! Celery + blue cheese is better than wings and blue cheese. Have one beer you noobs.

Monday - Ugh, I look so fat in the mirror, my body image complex has driven me to 5 hours in the gym today!

Tuesday - Damn, I'm looking pretty fly, I could eat some pizza or something....NO! MUST DEFEAT MYSELF.

Wednesday - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Future self is so much more awesome than present self! Nine days older, confidence levels over 9000!

A quick update on $$$$$$ PRIZE MONEY $$$$$$ I know it's holiday times and everything, but I still have yet to receive the $20 buy-in from the following people:

Abbie, Amber, Dennis, Harley, Melissa, Romy, Rudy, Sara, Shannon and Taylor.

If you haven't sent me money yet, you can send it via paypal tankstar@gmail.com Or

text me at 303-523-1813 when you mail me the check to:

Andrew Tank

If you're on that list and have already paid me, just email me to let me know, my paperwork is all screwy at the moment! If I don't receive the cash by this Friday, you won't be able to win any of the prizes, and there's people on that list that might win...Just sayin' ;)

I'll post on Thursday where everyone is standing % and total weight lost to give that last 7 days an extra edge to our competitors!

Thanks for participating guys, at least half of us have lost a decent amount of weight! Way to go!

NINE DAYS

*Whatever it takes does not include starving yourself, puking yourself, making yourself sick, etc.

Still no money :(

I've gotten about $180 so far (that's 9 people).

You'll notice on the side people that haven't paid.

As it stands, the prize money is only going to be about $100 for first place. Shame on those that haven't sent their money in yet :)

C'mon people, don't let us down!

Winners

Collectively we gained as much weight as we lost.

Go Joanna, Betty, Amber and Lynn. All some solid losing this week.

You losers.

^_^

Life's this game of inches, so is weight loss..

We had a few success, and a few...opportunities this week.

Myself and Amber managed to lose a bit of weight. This is the second week in a row that Amber has kicked ass. Way to go!

Jenn, Abbie, Lynn and Harley all lost some good chucks this week too. Keep it up. Slow and steady!

The rest of us didn't have the most successful week. But it's ok. Two steps forward, one step back. Just remember to take the next two steps FORWARD and not BACK. :-D

And now, a little motivation:

Dolla' Dolla' Bills y'all

Remember - WE PLAY FOR CASH MONEY. You're up against some serious contenders, are you going to let them steal money from you while also getting super slim and sexy?

That's like letting them steal your car, with your friends super tasty chocolate cake fresh and sitting in the back. Why let that happen? WHY! Think of the cake.

In order to make it easy for everyone to send me money (you know, that way I might actually not be sponsoring your weight loss with my own cash), I've set up a paypal account:

tankstar@gmail.com

Just go ahead and send your $20 USD that way if its easiest for you.

Winners!

Great job to our top 7 weekly losers this week:

Sara, Amber, Lynn, Paul, Betty and Jenn.

The sad panda is for the rest of us:

For shame I say, for shame.

To refresh:

To lose weight, one must simply consume less calories than one uses during a given day. So, if you eat a big salad, this has less calories than a brownie but fills you up longer. Then, if you were to say, walk to the coffee shop in the morning and maybe talk with someone or work really hard in front of a computer, you could possibly lose weight simply because you burn calories while sitting too.

Its simple really, eat less, walk places, lose weight!

I say this to remind myself too. Ribs at night, daily beers, and a minor cold are not how one loses weight.

Lots of small meals all day, daily walks, and sleep are how one loses weight.

C'mon people, kick it up! Only 7 weeks left, we're at our half way point but I bet nearly all of us could be trying harder!

Stupid magic Harl

Apparently, Harley has some super sekrit weight loss plan that he hasn't told anyone about.

Way to go bud.

Holy Crap

Berge wants to win.

Way to go man :)
