The OS Weight Loss Thread
here it is the EN "OS Weight Loss" thread
Put down the leftover holiday goodies, get on the scale, that's right, winter has crept up on you, no daylight, no A race in sight, and it's getting tougher to see your toes over that growing mid section - well, the tracker formerly known as "the insult diet" is here to the rescue!
the rules are as follows
Weigh in over the next seven days. Official start is 1/16
post your weigh in, ideally with a pic
choose your target weight that you will weigh when the contest ends in 9 WEEKS (March20th). Time to thin up for Spring Season and comp online for your A Race summer.
The Insults borrowed from the John Withrow Weight challenge.
1-Declare your current weight (ideally with a posted pic)
2-State your goal weight (Goal Date is 10 weeks away - March 20)
3-everyone reports weight weekly to this forum thread (Monday morning weigh ins), we are on the honor system, but in any given week, the admins can ask for a photo of scale (with toes on it!)
4-Admin (Dinhofer) will make a spreadsheet with target weights by week. (will endeavor to get this onto Google docs!)
5-If in any week you are more than 2lbs over ANY intermediate weigh-in, you must take a non-flexing, picture that shows your face and your fat gut holding a sign that says "I am a fatty fat guy" (or "I'm a fatty fat girl"). This picture must also be posted to the Dashboard on EN .
6-If you miss the final weigh-in goal weight, then you have your choice of the following 2 "Insults":
6-A-Do a Whitecastle (or similar) slider 6-pack 1.5 mile run on a track. Eat a slider then run a lap (6x). All on video, to be uploaded to youtube making sure you tell everyone why you are doing the punishment.
Note: if there is no "White Castle" near you, you can substitute with Jack in the box jr hamburgers, or as a last resort, McDonalds Cheesburgers
6-B-Run a sanctioned "official" race (with a minimum of 100 competitors) at a minimum 5k distance (but could be longer or a triathlon) All on video, to be uploaded to youtube making sure you tell everyone why you are doing the punishment.
Required attire:
Men: wearing nothing but a pink speedo (or mankini), socks and shoes (and race number belt if necessary) - NO SHIRT.
Women: wearing nothing but an American Flag String Bikini, Red Fishnet Thigh Highs (ankle socks if you want) and shoes (and race number belt if necessary) - NO COVERUPS of any kind
