Fatties. My money where your mouth is.
My dad was obese for my entire life. He bore a very strong resemblance to Roger Ebert, without the all-consuming lust for ti[/i]ts. So I know from fat. And many of you are fat. Many of you are fatter than that, and you're supposed to be in the prime of your goddamn lives.
You think you're gonna have the energy to lose weight when you're 50? When you have kids and a mortgage and a wife who loves you twice as much as you love her? No. I say this with all sympathy and love, cause I loved my dad: NOW is the time to get thin. So, in an attempt to do something about this, I will sponsor 5 fatties for the rest of 2006. Dids is one of them, and I'll set aside slots for other people I've publicly called fat, including Gamble and Tony P. Otherwise, feel free to try to convince me to sponsor you. For the first hundred pounds you lose from now to January 1, 2007, I will pay you a dollar a pound. For the next two hundred, I will pay you 50 cents on the pound. After that, you're out of luck, but you're also out of the 'morbidly obese' demographic. Documentation? Take a torso+head picture of yourself now, then take a picture of you on a scale so we can establish the baseline. Post both and your current weight in this thread. The method of verifying weight loss may change over the course of the year at my discretion, but we'll start on the honor code. No payment will be made until January of next year. If anyone wants to join the sponsoring, post. Volunteers begin your chewing. Edit: if you're willing to wait til may to get paid you can also opt for an entire year to get my money |

Re: Fatties. My money where your mouth is.
I would like to be sponsored, but the earliest I can get a picture on a scale is Thursday. Hold my place in line?

Kipin,
I'm not sure you count as "morbidly obese". To me, that's where the line should start. I really enjoy that a term used to describe me has some connotation that I'm already dead. |

[/ QUOTE ] He outweighs me by 100 pounds at about the same height, so you might want to think more about that. I also doubt that he has substantially more muscle than I do. I hope you both go ahead and lose a lot of weight. ~D |

Re: Fatties. My money where your mouth is.
What would qualify as being fat? What is the minimum amount of extra poundage you need to be carrying around?

I don't know, but people who could get the whole $200 will get preference. |
