[SleeperLS]

When can I get the prize money because I am going to dominate this.

 

[1quick]

So weigh in picture on the scale with weight and date, who is holding the money, weigh in every Sunday morning?

 

[EmersonHart13]

I will hold the money, unless that bothers anyone.

Yes, weigh ins are Sundays as you described.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

What if we're out of town one weekend?

I have a fishing trip one weekend in February. Would an early weekly weigh in be allowed for situations like this?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Since weekly weigh ins are just status reports and not essential to the pay out (like the first and last) I will manage those as long as I am notified in advance.

Are we not going to have a poll for weigh in day?
Also I will be in Mexico on start date. If everyone is okay with it, I will start the following week.

I think we would have you start the day you get back. Aka as close as possible to the start date.

I'm back Jan 11th late night. So hopefully I remember otherwise morning of the 12th.

 

[EmersonHart13]

12th is good. No need to worry about this when your brain is still on vaca.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I am in for this....can I paypal the money? If so, what's the email?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yes Paypal. I will begin collecting next week when the officially official post kicks it all off.

BRING IT

I'm pretty excited....I'm 216 right now and eating like shit but still lifting. Not doing any cardio. I haven't been under 200 in almost 4 years so I'm looking forward to it

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

In all seriousness though, for the other people that are participating I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend downloading myfitnesspal and logging your meals from now until the time your diet starts. It will give you a good base to start cutting calories/macros from. You'll need to get a food scale as well

If you go from eating 4,000 calories a day down to 2,000 a day for 12 weeks you're going to be miserable and the weight will come back very very quickly once this is over

 

[Sprayin]

So true. I did a self imposed weight loss diet over the summer and into fall. Lost 25 lbs. I've almost gained it all back since I've stopped paying attention to it. Looking forward to some new motivation to lose again. Hopefully I can keep it off this time.

 

[EmersonHart13]

My wife uses it extensively. It works really really well.
