[Le Pirate]

I'm in for 14 lbs.

Consider me a unoffical contestant (I don't have a scale at home  )


I'm going to keep posting here to keep me honest, though.

[Randimus Maximus]

I think losing 14lbs would be good for me too.

[KnightofNi]

Okay, I weighed in at 169 this morning. who wants to race me to a loss of 14lbs? Honor system of course. what should the bet be?  Anyone with a gym membership need not apply.

I'll give it a shot. maybe incentive will get me moving. I'll weigh myself this evening.

Shoots, i'm about to ride my bicycle to give x-fit a shot.  I should at least loose 20 lbs since it's summer and all.

Looks like we got a team for the DMF 14lb Challenge.  

Here's the "rules" (or whatever)

1) The start gun goes off Monday 6/6. If you are in post up your starting weight on Sunday or Monday.
2) No gym memberships allowed. That's entirely too serious.
3) First one to lose 14lbs wins. This is completely on the honor system. So, um, be honest. No cutting water weight for those last five pounds or other bullshit. Just try to seriously lose some eight. And the rest of us can't give up after the first person gets there either. All participants will be ranked. Should we find a suitable punishment for whoever comes in last?
4) If you post up exactly how many calories you consumed that day, how much you can bench, or pictures of yourself flaring your lats you are disqualified.
5) There will be NO encouragement of other participants. This is not the Tour de France, there is no cheering. Posting pictures of bacon, beer and cupcakes is encouraged because fatties like us need tough love.
6) If you participate  you agree to send the winner a little piece of swag (e.g. - A patch, some stickers, a pint of hagen daas, etc.)

My weight by DarkMonster620

[Le Pirate]

I'm in


Found a way to weigh myself.


is it first to drop 14 lbs wins, or is it everyone who enters and doesn't make 14 lbs is the loser?

that could mean I'll be mailing a lot of ice cream...

I read it as "First to lose 14 lbs wins, everyone else piles on with the swag."

I have a question on the rules, tho. Specifically, rule #2. Being in the military, I do have access to a gym, but I never use the joint. Am I still allowed to enter? Cause if so, then I'm totally in.

I'll leave it up to the hive mind to decided, and even if they decide no, I'll still kick in for the winner.

As long as you swear to never step foot in that filthy, sweat place 

(I mean that in general, not just for the contest)


So, I assume it is okay to mail out swag before the end of the contest...

I'll be sending everyone:



I'll be sure to win!

No one can resist both bacon AND ice cream
