They all were amazing. Yesterday.@Otis how were the 6 chicken fingers dipped in ranch, fries (potatoes!), 2 Coors light, 2 glasses of red, kids Santa candy, and 2 scotches?
I was going to fire up my diet today...going on a vacation in Mexico in a month...then realized I have soooooo many leftovers from last night (a whole pizza from my favorite place, 2 lbs of buffalo chicken dip, guacamole, etc.). I wanted to work out but just said F it. New Year begins tomorrow and I'm a pound heavier.They all were amazing. Yesterday.
Today I'm really struggling. I was in complete food and booze death spiral mode, so to go cold turkey to very low calorie of bland potatoes, and seltzer... not easy...
The potatoes were actually making me a little nauseous at the end. I may need to quickly transition to making potato wedges in the oven and covering those with tomato sauce. Which was fairly amazing. And I don't see that slowing my progress much.
How long does it take for the weight loss to start?I'd play along but I think I would actually have to catch AIDS to drop 10% at this point.
This is what got me. I was mid-late week 2 and couldn't take another potato. Made me nauseous.They all were amazing. Yesterday.

Well said. Here are pics of penis doughnuts[SIZE=13.333333333333332px]If you want to make an impact -- if you want to show folks who’s boss, and do something that will be remembered, here’s what you do on weigh-in day:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=13.333333333333332px]Throw away your first weigh-in. Seriously. Toss it. When you're sitting around the scale and your turn comes up and everyone looks at you, just politely say "pass," then nonchalantly take a sip of your potato juice. Then do the same thing during the second weigh-in. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=13.333333333333332px]Some of them will laugh[/SIZE]. The ones who don’t laugh, the quiet ones, are the ones who are realizing, at that very moment, that they aren't dealing with just any ordinary fantasy magic diet guy. This is a real life hawk, sitting right across the scale from them, and the one thing that is going through their mind is what they should be putting in the Memo field of the $100 check they are writing to your favorite charity, because this diet season has already ended for them as quickly as it began. It’s like the schoolyard bully taking everyone’s lunch money, except he doesn’t have to ask--the kids just line up and fork it over.
AND IM BACK IN THE GAME!!! Charity donation is a great idea. Ill weigh in tomorrow.Otis said:I edited the first post with the rules and list of participants (on the money/charity portion). Quoted here above for posterity. I have question marks next to some folks who I wasn't sure are interested in buying in or not--if we don't hear confirmation from those folks by tomorrow I'll assume they're out. Since we're allowing starting weigh-ins tomorrow, we can probably extend entries till then too. If anyone else is interested, post now or forever hold your fat gut. We've change the parameters a bit here since we first started the list, so if anyone of you heartless bastards decides you now want OUT since it isn't about cheating us out of our money I mean winning money, let us know.
Congrats, GB!AND IM BACK IN THE GAME!!! Charity donation is a great idea. Ill weigh in tomorrow.
And thanks @krista4 for saying you'd vouch for me. Despite all the Ditka's on the board, you did help with my profile years back. After years of online dating, I met my fiancé on a dating app a little less than two years ago!
Can't you go back there and weigh in when this is over?I'd be interested but in South America til the 4th. Can I weigh in then and still only take til 3/31 for my final weigh in?
There's a scale in my hotel room but it's kilograms and that seems hard to do the math on
I reached the goal. But then kept struggling to hit the requisite seven days straight under and got frustrated and gave up.Did Otis or Woz ever win that bet?
I've never had an issue eating the same thing every dayI'm curious to see what you guys are eating though. My problem usually just comes from menu fatigue - yogurts mixed with fruits/granola, salads, soups, fish, & chicken.
Just so repetitive.
Mmmm pizza.I've never had an issue eating the same thing every day
Yeah, that's why you are in this thread.I've never had an issue eating the same thing every day
I'm exponentially more motivated when cash is on the line...and honestly why I joined in the first place. But I'm not gonna be that **** who says he's out now that it's for charity.belljr said:Yes you are the only one who is not motivated unless cash is on the line

If only you had access to the internet to do the conversion for you.....I'd be interested but in South America til the 4th. Can I weigh in then and still only take til 3/31 for my final weigh in?

Thanks for checking in! Happy new year!Honor system on weighing yourself and posting the results....hmmm. This should go well.
Post as often as you reasonably can. It will help evidence your 3 months, and in any event, will be helpful motivation for you.So... are we supposed to post daily, weekly, bigly?
I was going to get on the scale again this morning but the thing was in the corner shaking. So now I need to lose weight and get my scale treated for PTSD.
Go with your usual weigh-in time, within reason. I think a weigh-in at the end of the day would be bigly heavier.Need a ruling - I ate a metric #### ton yesterday and then weighed myself after midnight. Can I go with that weigh in or go with my usual weigh-in time? Just want to do what everyone else is doing.
ETA - there was a 2.6 lb difference between 12:01 and just now. I'm fine with either. @Otis
Good stuff.So... are we supposed to post daily, weekly, bigly?

LOOK AT ME I'M HEALTHY!Good luck guys, kind of wishing I was fat enough to participate.
I have the gait of an 80 yr old man and a right arm I can barely lift over my head, would trade for good knees and a new right shoulder for an extra 20 lbs in a heartbeat.LOOK AT ME I'M HEALTHY!
