Sponsorship Help Needed For NamePros Weight Loss!

[Badger]

Hi Guys and Gals,

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.

All the best,

Ian aka Badger

PS I will win

How about adding a picture of you now and one later ?

I am going to have to do the same for my health......I`m 95 Kg while 12 years ago I was 65

Ok, we can do that..

 

[Kenny]

Yea! I'll jump in on this. I got 25NP$ a pound for each of you, only cuz I wanna keep you guys around a while longer.

And $500NP$ to the first one to make goal.

Good luck gentlemen, this is where the losers are the winners.

Good luck to you both! I'll sponsor 500 NP$ each - you do know you'll just put it all back on over the Christmas break though?

 

[Badger]

Nice one, thanks Simon...

Heres my "so called" meal list for tomorrow:

Breakfast: vegetable juice, 2 cups of quiche, decaf coffee.
Lunch: sliced chicken on lettuce, sugar free jelly
Dinner: Grilled Salmon, steamed asparagus, tossed salad.

Oh my.... I thought the south beach diet was supposed to be easy..

 

[RJ]

Thanks for the pledges, guys. I'm about 22 hours away from the official weigh-in, and still trying to determine a plan of action.

Lorenzo and anyone else who needs to get a little healthier, why not join us in our 28 lb goal and see how much we can all lose together?

 

[Mike]

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'm with Ian on this one.
100np$ per lb.

And an extra 200np$ when Ian hits the target first :p

 

[kev]

haha...wish i could join but i weigh a mere 67kg ... anyone up for a sponsored put-on-weight :p

 

[RJ]

My immediate 2-week plan starting tomorrow morning:

• 1200 calorie/day max food intake
• No between meal or late night snacks
• 5 minutes daily on elliptical trainer
• 80 ounces of water

After two weeks I'll re-evaluate figure out a more long term plan.

Any NP$ or $ pledged in support of me and my 28 lb goal will go to the Children with Diabetes Foundation.

My challenge to Ian - if you lose the 28 lbs before me I'll donate $100 cash to the charity of your choosing! Bring some money home for the UK!

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

5 minutes daily on elliptical trainer

:lol: Be careful -RJ- You might just break a sweat

Loosing weight is all about 1: Eating healthy thus no excessive junk food, etc 2: Good exercise meaning no 5 minutes pretend work outs

Play some basketball or other sport that keeps you running around, rope jumping is also pretty effective.

Don't focus to much on starving yourself or going mental on veggies, exercise is key!

Good luck guys!

 

[RJ]

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!

 

[Kenny]

Ian and RJ,

A good schvitz helps too.
You guys shouldn't over do anything to start off with.
Stay within your doctors recommended program. :tu:

Cy

 

[peaches017]

I'll pledge 50NP$ / lb for each of you.

 

[RJ]

Thanks for the support Kenny.

Peter, wow thanks, very generous of you. :tu:

 

[mis_chiff]

I'll pledge $20 to the first one to reach the 10 pound loss mark!

On you marks, get set - GO!

Maybe you should be banished to the IsleofNamePros,
I don't think they have a chef yet :lol:

 

[Keral_Patel]

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. :D They took my 50 ML

200 NP for the first one to lose the 10 pounds :D

 

[Badger]

Thanks Guys..

I cant remember the name of the really nice fast food joint just down the road from RJ's house - but i know its popular..... Has to be tempting...

Dang, for me, im going to a top french restaurant tonight called Kitsch n d'or.. I would show you their site but its expired and been snapped by a nasty domainer...

Anyway, I need to have all my powers of abstinance about me to survive this.. OMG..
