Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Lusk is fat...wanna play?

Yeah don't lose it too fast. I know someone that had to have their gallbladder removed because they lost weight too fast.

How much does a gall bladder weigh? (chuckling)

hi bob, this is neat.
please put DIED down for a $1.00 a pound.
(rhyme intentional)


theo......$1.17/pound ???

you a funny guy.

Just for diversity, I'll pledge $5/lb. for what I lose. 5' 10"
198 now. Looking for 180. Then I will go and treat 2catmom's lake.

Rumor has it Wr's are only bragged about in fish -- not ourselves or our wives!

I'm down 8 pounds in the last 45 to 60 days. Went to a crawdad cookoff today so may have gained some of it back.

I blew my back out a couple of months ago and the Chiropractor, for the first time ever, couldn't fix it. So had an MRI and found some disk deterioration, a slightly herniated disk and some arthritis in the back. It's not too bad and I can live with it. However, they told me life would be much better if I lost about 20 or so pounds to get to about 185. I'm now at 202 and working to get some of the Abs back that I seem to have lost over the years. I'm not minding anything that I'm doing but am not desperate enough to drink lite beer.

Good for you Bob. Exciting news. I've been trying to compete with my fish for Wr lately as well.

I'm happy for you, and I'm happy for the Jesse West Foundation.

I was going to match Sunil with the $10/lb.. but decided to get there a different way.

Count me in for $5/lb - up to where you get by the conference.

I'll play too. Count me in for another $5/lb of my own. I was at my heaviest at 262 a few months ago, down to 250 as of last Monday (6 foot). I'll start at the 262, so you're up $60.

Great idea Bob. I'm in for $1 per pound as of July 15th,
$50 if you are under 250 at the Convention and $100 more
if you are still under 250 on Dec 27th.

Bob,

Do you have any trails on your property? If not something to consider. My parents have a trail through a nature preserve near their condo in Florida and it's a pleasure to to walk it. Before you know it you've walked a couple of miles looking for gators, the fish in the water, and the native birds.

You guys are the best!

I'm good for a buck a pound on July 15 and another buck for each pound Bob is under 316 at the conference.

Bing

I don't want to add a ton of variables, but Luskie, could you walk 2 miles a day? That would make a hell of a difference. Like what RobA said, eat good and burn some calories.

Let's do this!!!!!!!!!!

I need to lose weight too... Boy I love to eat!

I'm gonna start as soon as I cook and get rid of the 2 slabs of babybacks I bought on sale for 1.97 per lb. yesterday.
Dang, it's always something. Maybe I'll just pass them out to the neighbors.

I am in for $0.99/ lb

I am assuming Lusk is on sale for the Easter weekend.

Great Idea Bob!

I have been on the keep eating a ton of food, but excercise more diet and it has helped me lose 15 lbs this winter (first winter ever to not gain weight). I am down to 279, but need to get down to 250 and stay there. If I could just cut back to about 5,000 calories per day I should drop some lbs going into the summer.

$1 per lb for Bob and for Myself.

Is that like quiting smoking until the next cigarette?

Bob,

As close as I can calculate, I have lost around 1500 pounds since the day I was born. Most of those pounds are repeaters.

Having been a jogger and now being a walker and a worker-outer have kept me healthier than most. I still battle the bulge; it is the bane of my existence.

If you donate 10 cents for each of the 1500 pounds I have shed, I will donate 300 cents for each pound of your 50 pound shedding goal.

Burning the calories is way more important than reducing the calorie intake, in my humble opinion.

Let's see, Dwight wants me to do a matching fund thing, eh? Here's what we'll do. Pond Boss will kick in the $150, but Dwight, you gotta committ $3 a pound to the total I lose by the conference. Deal? I might lose as much as 75 during that span...who knows? I might also gain it all back....
I'm already personally in for $1/lb.
Can someone summarize the committments and let's see where we are? This is gonna be fun.
By the way, I went to the Medifast Clinic today and weighed in a 299...that's 17 pounds in 15 days. It's a good start.
Who else wants to play?

I'll summarize unless someone else has done so. I'll do it this weekend and put it in a public spreadsheet.

If you are able to sort all that madness out Aaron, you the man! HAHA Between the side betting and Theo's $1.17 a pond I got lost...

Those numbers remind me of what Jody Foster did in Papermoon.

maybe I'll have this done tonight... odd that this is fun while watching the Suns play a meaningless game and miss the playoffs.

okay, I'm having an issue sharing the spreadsheet, I'll fix that tomorrow and update this post when I do.

In the meantime, here's a PDF of the details.

We're at $940.22 as of Bob's weight at 299.

UPDATE: Here's a 'live' spreadsheet with the details:
Lusk Tracking Spreadsheet

Well done...
