Ready, set, GO!!!!
So everybody, here we go again, another 8 week Biggest Loser competition. I vowed that I wouldn't have as much to lose this year when in reality I now have MORE so I am primed. Weigh-in is Monday, Jan. 2, which is tomorrow so I'll look forward to all your results in a week. Remember all, nobody ever has to divulge their weight (if I did, I would then have to kill you as I would insure you took that nasty total to the grave with you), just the percentage lost. Just divide your cumulative pounds lost by your beginning weight and then move the decimal point over a two places for your percentage. And I'm sure I don't have to remind any of you but since we may have one or two new placers I am reminding you that this is a diet/exercise program only, no diet pills, diet aids, supplements, stomach stapling or the likes. That makes for an even playing field for us all. It is also still a $20.00 buy in which I will be collecting. My address is: Julie Montgomery, 1303 Hamilton Ave., Yakima, Wa. 98902. If you send me a check I will hang on till the end of the 8 weeks and if you happen to be one of the happy winners I'll just tear up your check and send you the rest of what you won. One more thing too, PLEASE don't make me harp on you for your payment, it makes it awkward for us all (and Linda, you already paid me :)). As of today, Jan. 1, we have 13 contestants but I think 2 more will be on board as well so we'll be able to pay out to 4 places again if everybody is in agreement to that. It makes for an easy 40-30-20-10 split. Our contestants as of today are Jenny and Dane B., Greg and Sara J., Linda M., Lea K., Angela B., Alex and Anna F., Jason P., Stacey E., and Wayne and Julie M. Good luck to all and I hope to kick all your butts.

You mean Angela B. not Angela F. I want my name correct on my first place trophy! :)
ReplyDeleteJeez Angela, sorry about that, I do want to have your engraving right! By the way everybody, send your results next Monday and the following Mondays to my e-mail address: Justussix@charter.net
ReplyDeleteAlso, my opinion on the money distribution would be to pay out to only 3 places, third place getting their money back and then something like 70/30 split for first and second place.
ReplyDeleteLet the games begin!
ReplyDeleteSo what do the rest of you guys think about Angela's idea on the money split? Majority rules and it doesn't matter to me, so let's hear everybody's opinion.
ReplyDeleteOk ok ok ok.... I'll be in ... Mostly to motivate (and by motivate, i mean motivate you to eat more doughnuts and save money by cancelling that bothersome gym membership.) julie said "*sigh*... Ok, fine...I'll do it" so I'll have her just transfer the money to my account.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Julie and Jason! I figured peer pressure would get to you. :)
ReplyDeleteSo what do you guys think about just giving 3rd place back their money and then with the rest of the cash it is 70% for 1st and 30% for second. It doesn't seem like anybody is caring much so far but I'm still trying to get everybody's input.
There are still some who want to stick with the 40-30-20-10 split so I'm still trying to keep count. Also Jason R., does your mother plan to compete this year? I know she has in the past but am not sure if she wants to this year. No pressure, just wondering. Also, we are up to 16 competitors; Julie and Jason Reynolds are on board as is Stacey's sister Darcy so there will be $320.00 in the pot!!! Something to strive for. I WANT that money but more than anything, I want to rid myself of 20 lbs.
ReplyDeleteMy mom said she is definitely not in this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking Jason. It looks like we have our group of 16 then, that's a good number.
ReplyDeleteAs for the divvying up of money, since most people didn't seem to care how it went and the ones who did kind of liked it as it was I think we'll keep it at the 40-30-20-10 if there are no objections.
