I think it can work, and being at 330lbs.......Im in.

Vulchor

I think it will be good for all of us. Im about 240-245 right now, but at 5'8" and about 200 only a few years ago....It may be now or never. i hope we get a few more in the game, and I think % of weight may be the best way to go. No offense to you being a bigger guy, but might scare away some of the lighter ones and hopfully we can all get a little more healthy if nothing else.

Sounds like it'll be fun to watch and it's a great idea. Being 185lbs though, i'll just be watching.

I'm probably gonna sit this one out, since I'm about 6', weigh around 200, and dropping 30 lbs would mean I'd have almost no body fat. But as a suggestion, you may wanna amend the rules so that instead of 5 sticks worth $25, the loser's just send anywhere from 1-5 sticks, who's total value is around $25. The reason being, some guys on here may be low on mid-range sticks, but may have just bought a box of Anejo's for Christmas, and it'd be easier to send 1 or 2 Anejo's than it'd be to dig around for a cheaper stick

I think I might be down for this, if only because I'm working out regularly now anyway. Only problem I can think of is that, while I don't necessarily plan on losing, I'd do some serious damage to my humi if I'm forking out 5pks every week or two for 4 months... Maybe that was the incentive? Iunno. I think we could make it a bit more of just a group thing, where we're all in this together, weighing in together and keeping each other accountable, and then having the "Congrats" package to the winner at the end? Just a thought.

Hays

In that case... I think I'll bow out. I'm down with being part of a group effort, but I'm nOt down for emptying my humidor out. I've been keeping my own motivation up, so I guess I didn't really need that part. Best of luck to you guys though.

Vulchor

Sorry to hear it---we were all looking forward to sending you our sticks too;)

I would be game for a one time pack of 25 to 50 dollars but not for the every week thing

Vulchor

Alright then-----anyone in for a 50 dollar package Mid April?? We can do the weigh thing in between to make everyone aware of what their up against. Im up for whatever, just trying to aviod me and everyone else having the same New Years Resolution next year while being a few pounds heavier and even more unhealthy.

I'm in for this whatever the rules are. I need to lose weight and could use this as added motivation. being around to watch my kids grow up should be motivation enough, but every bit helps!

+10000000 Wing, same here. 3 of us are in at least. I meanit makes it nice for the winner as a reward----but if I can lose some weight this year (by April at that), and have to fork out some sticks.....still worth it to me.

Hays

If it's an April $50 package, I'm in. I do agree, just based upon the different sizes of guys we have here, that it should be a percentage of weight lost basis.

Damn..I need to buy a scale.. I just remembered my gym doesn't have one (how lame is that right? It's an odd gym). Kool man - I'm down for this.

Goldy

Ya, I gotta buy a scale too.

kingjk729

I am in on this as well.

lilwing88

For the pictures....... What are the guidelines? Front and side.... Shirts or skins? Waist up? Whole body?

Vulchor

Front or side, your choice. Shorts/boxers/briefs (if you must) only. Whole body preferable, half if not. One of you and one of you on the scale if at all possible, or at least one of you and one of the scale reading while youre on it.

Vulchor

Also----on January 4th....when all sign ups have taken place.....I will be making another thread in this section. It will be for the posting of pics and issues during the contest, along with the final names and rules posted. I think that will make everythign easier and a little more compact.

Hays

Sounds good!
