As some of you here will know, sitting on ones derrier 24/7 tends to ensure you slip on a couple of extra unwanted Lbs.
In my case its got out of hand. Aside from my scales shouting "one at a time" when I got on them the other night, I couldnt help casting a glancery eye that the number on the Kg dial was almost 3 digits... 97Kgs to be precise..
So I need your help. Actually, we need your help. Joining me in a sponsored slim (for a charity yet to be decided) our nobel admin -RJ- is joining me for the ride.
Starting tomorrow (no really, for real) we intend, for the next 11weeks, to lose weight. 28Lbs each to be precise. Ending 20th December.
In true Vince McManus style we have privately been casting aspertions on each others ability to lose the weight and this is whats brought on this challenge - all in the name of fun. In all seriousness I do actually need a target in order for me to be able to do this.. And doing this for charity will be just the impetus i need.
So Im asking for your sponsorship. Will any of you be so kind as to sponsor us individually or as a collective duo?? NP$ for LBS.. i.e. 10NP$ per Lb or 200NP$ if the weight loss is achieved eg.
In true embarrassing fashion we will both post here at weekly intervals our progress and current weight / weight loss. And, as much as I trust -RJ-, our good ladies will act as adjudicators...
So please please post your sponsorship pledges here. You can even use this thread to make fun of us, if you so wish (within reason )
Please also feel free to recommend any good causes we can donate the sponsorship to. If I make my target weight i'll donate $100 to the fund.
Sounds like a good idea. That should almost be rolled out to all of NP. I'd sure consider going into this challenged with all you guys. Not that i really need it *cough*...but i'd do it for the spirit of attendance.
I am already on a weight loss program myself at the moment. My goal is 2 lbs a month. And yeah it will have to be more than 11 weeks for me, Liked the computer a lot should I say.
I will pledge 10NP's for each pound Badger and RJ lose individually.
I was also thinking of a charity for here within the US. I figured if we eat less, than whatever we dont eat, or should I say the money we would have spent on the food we would have eaten. To give it to a charity here in the US, the one that comes to mind is
Hey, it's a start. 5 minutes a day for my first two weeks is 5 minutes more a day than I had planned before. That elliptical tires me out. I would rather play basketball, football, or swimming but those aren't really options available to me.
Day 2, everything going well so far.
Thanks for your pledge, Linda!

LOL. I am already iLL. I am under weight. After sitting here for 14 hours daily. I am still not gaining any weight.
And to make it more messy I gave my blood samples in lab for checking day before yesterday and fell iLL and now I think I am totally sucked out of blood. They took my 50 ML

I thought the south beach diet was supposed to be easy..
...but i'd do it for the spirit of attendance.
