Mammalchemy 2002/2003: Willpower Into Horsepower!
 

Ok guys it looks like we have our final weigh-in for the MAMMALCHEMY 2002/2003: WILLPOWER INTO HORSEPOWER!

Who will lose the most and win it all?

Regardless of how much weight is lost, you've already won.

OK I’ll bite. It's a tough one, I’m torn between Dan (DByers) and Speedy007. They are both big guys, and that makes for fast weight loss when you get serious, ask me how I know. Dan is younger than Speedy007, which is a plus for weight loss, but doesn’t seem to have quite the fight in him. I’m thinking Speedy007 will probably show everyone up just because he entered this damn contest and posted his pics on the web for God and the world to see.

So that’s my rationale, I’m betting on Speedy007.

Good luck to all of you guys! I should really be in this myself. You guys have balls, except you 12own911. ;)

Don't forget to vote for Speedy.

As for having balls... I've got them... I just wasn't born with them. :eek: They are borrowed and I'm sure I'll have to give them back soon. :D

Sorry, I did forget to vote didn't I? I know you have balls Kim, and something tells me you're not giving them back any time soon. You did miss BBRII though. Are you planning on joining your So CA brothers for SBRI on Feb 8?

Only if someone else will let me ride with them... :) I doubt I'll be able to talk the boyfriend into going and I don't think you'll would appreciate a VUE going on the ride... I'd try to keep up but it just wouldn't be the same. :(

I'm sure if you showed up at the meeting spot, some nice guy would let you ride shotgun for the drive. ;)

Any of you So CA guy want to give 12own911 a ride?

What is a VUE? SUV?

Shhh... don't tell anyone. It's the Saturn VUE and it looks like this...

Ohh, Sorry, wont say a word. Nice License Plate.

Come on guys! Rock the vote! Tell us who you think will win it all by losing it all come April. :D

Bumpin it for more votes. Come on guys... I need your votes! :)

Wow, 2 votes for me and only one of them is mine. What are all you other guys and 1 girl going to do to lose your weight? My plan consists of: Eating less (IE, I usually eat a large pizza when I eat pizza, now I'll eat a medium, instead of 3 burritos for breakfast, just 2, instead of a six pack of Cokes a day, I'll TRY to limit them to 3, that's my worst habit), Exercising more (I've got a basketball league that starts in January so that should be good for at least 10 or so lbs.) I know that doesn't sound like a lot but it should make a difference. Good luck!! Pass some votes my way, I could use a good cheering section!!!

Kim,

You kill me! I just saw this thread for the first time. Great idea.

Dave, wished I could take credit but actually someone else on the earlier thread had suggested this. Just wish I could figure out how to make this a sticky so it stays on the first page for a month or so... then I figure we can post progress reports monthly on new Posts.

Mike, I set an initial goal to lose 10% of total weight in 6 weeks. Anything more then that you could be doing more harm then good. Then I set another goal to lose 10% more. It's easier to reach your goal if you chunk it up. Since I knew I wasn't going to be able to do it by myself I joined Weight watchers and followed their Winning Points plan. In 9 months I lost 45lbs. I've kept it off for two years now. When I saw Dave's post I decided here is my chance to lose more. I know I won't lose as much as the rest of you guys but I thought we could motivate each other to lose some weight and in the end we would all be winners. I would recommend WW for anyone who wants to lose weight and do it in a healthy way. The thing I liked best about WW is that I still got to eat all the junk I normally ate, just not as much. The key is to eat it in moderation and to add healthier (free - no point) foods in between meals.

PM me if you want more details on the program.

Kim. SmileWavy

hellloooooo any moderators?...........seems like weight watchers has found its way to the 911 BBS. Id toss this thread into oblivion..... but who knows the grass roots, pelican, WW relationships..

I think the OT forum would be a good move. There's no reason to force Tim and the other non-interested parties to scroll past this constantly. Those of us involved know where to look. PP has been very nice about this contest thus far, and the OT forum is probably the most suitable.

Your wish is my command. :cool:

I'll vote for Dan simply because he was awesome helping me pulling my first engine ever. If it'll be a close call I'll even buy some Helium for him to make the contest.
