This is it, the last weigh in for the MOB! Let see who comes out on top, the Beer Drinkers or Hell Raisers.

Preliminary Results:

Please take a look at the results I have so far. If you have a gray box in a weight in spot that means I didn't get one from you. Double check your results and make sure they're accurate. Also, if anybody would like to continue this I'd be more than happy to. Just let me know if you want to stay involved and we'll keep this going.

Final Edit:

In a clash that will go down with the ages, the Hell Raisers squeaked out a victory so close, it can only be compared to Gore v. Bush in their Supreme Court Battle Royale. Congrats to both Lickety & Convert as they were our two biggest losers.

I had a great time doing this, and will definetly continue the MOB as long as I have unwanted fat. I'll retain the stats for those who want to continue. Otherwise I'll remove you from the list as we continue on from here. Pretty amazing that as a whole we lost over 140 lbs, congratulations to everyone!

My team will be quite happy, while going to my cert courses my only sustenance was water which I could hardly keep down as it was. I was fortunate enough to come down with food poisoning on Monday. You can imagine the kind of fun I had sitting in class for 8 hours. I survived though and came out 7.5 pounds lighter than when I started. I was so dehydrated Friday I thought I was going to pass out while driving home.

At least one good thing came out of this incredibly hellish experience.

I fear I must end the weighins with a lackluster -1 for the week

This week was a bad one for my diet. I hope to get back on track this week.

Looking for Knowledge · Sun May 22, 2005 3:40 pm

I'm down to a spry 240lbs. That puts me @ -2 for the week, -5 in all. I'd like this to keep going.....I just started coaching track for the season, and I do a lot of running with the kids. It seems to help.

Hance · Sun May 22, 2005 3:44 pm

-1 more here so 205

5150 · Mon May 23, 2005 8:46 am

I had a pretty encouraging week. I didn't work out much, just a couple of days, and ate well, but nothing crazy and I dropped a few. I'm going to keep this going for as long as anybody wants to, so let me know if you want to keep losing weight.

Soooo... What's your final weight?

druidcent · Mon May 23, 2005 11:39 am

Sigh.. anniversary and b'day parties as well as celebrating a new job help not at all... +1 for me

Sorry guys..

I'd love to try again... I'm hoping that all this party stuff is behind me now

Pettytheft · Mon May 23, 2005 11:50 am

I'm at 217, I didn't check in last week. That's down 5. Wont make my goal but I'm happy with the progress I've made.

I'll keep going if other people would like to.

Convert · Mon May 23, 2005 1:05 pm

I am at 188.5 to be exact.

idchafee · Mon May 23, 2005 9:16 pm

I won't be near a scale until tomorrow evening. Sorry. :oops:

I'd love to keep going. I got another 20 pounds!

totoro · Tue May 24, 2005 3:41 am

245! woowoo!

Still, not where I'd hoped to be, but better than GAINING 5 lbs.

5150 · Tue May 24, 2005 8:43 am

It's a tight race right now with only four lbs splitting the teams. I'm still waiting to hear from VaTech Hokie (not likely), derFunkenstein, Lickety (a thread with no post from Lickety?), idchafee, Bob Maenhout, and the ellusive Joshvar. I'll give it til the end of the day to post the final results.

idchafee · Tue May 24, 2005 9:04 am

I found a scale. Its not the scale I've been using, so I have no idea how accurate it is, but it says 204, so -1.

So, are we gonna keep going?

anand · Tue May 24, 2005 9:17 am

I'd love to keep going. Having to report in every week to you guys makes me stick to my diet a little more

5150 · Tue May 24, 2005 9:29 am

Those who want to keep going can. I probably won't make it a competition like it is now, that way people can join and quit anytime because I've had a few people approach me and wish they had joined earlier. But we'll still have the weekly reporting and I'll keep the spreadsheet up to date to keep track of things.

-1, so Im 139 now lol... well, not yet my target but Im on the way lol :lol:

LicketySplit · Wed May 25, 2005 2:17 pm

5150 · Wed May 25, 2005 6:18 pm

The final results are in, congratulations to everyone!

Couldn't you have lost one more pound Lickety? :wink:

If you're interested in continuing I'll start another thread. Please post in that thread if you want to join or continue with the MOB. Post your starting weight and goal weight if you're a newcomer.

Thanks to everyone for making this a success!

LicketySplit · Wed May 25, 2005 6:57 pm

That money's burning a whole in my pocket. How about a little bet on the Suns/Spurs series? Six pack says the Spurs sweep the series.

LicketySplit · Wed May 25, 2005 7:38 pm

NO way they will sweep..you got a bet :wink:

It's on like Donkey Kong. Good thing you cut down on the food so you can save your money, you'll need it.

Obviously you underestimate the power of the Duncan.

LicketySplit · Wed May 25, 2005 10:12 pm

I knew you couldnt stand it...this is almost like takin candy from a baby...oh..and i will give you a chance to get your money back as well :wink:

Convert · Wed May 25, 2005 10:24 pm

Great job everyone.

I did technically cheat though, since I was sick all that weight I lost is coming back pretty quick (I already gained 3 pounds in 3 days). Guess I was just lucky this was the last weigh in.

Thank you 5150 for this opportunity, if it wasn’t for you I would probably be climbing past 215 as we speak. I cannot thank you enough.

Mmmmmm. This bottle of Harp tastes amazing. I wonder what my next beer of choice will be?

leor · Fri May 27, 2005 9:56 pm

anand · Sun May 29, 2005 1:21 pm
