Holidays and stuff...

I know that some of you are partying too much during the holidays (Dance Party!) and cant get away to e mail me your results for this week.  Whatever...

I think half of the Blubs are in Alaska this week.  People from all over the U.S., converging on the little berg of Eagle River to be with their families.  I thought it was going to be easy to get everyone's results this week, but nay.

A bunch of people (Alaskans and non) went to the Alaska Club in Eagle River today.  In one week that place will be packed, and hopefully I will be there. 

Today's results are brought to you by the kid who stole Deja's pajamas.

And here they are - - -

Warning!

This weeks battle is co-sponsored by The Surgeon General and Danger Mouse!

SURGEON GENERALS WARNING: The Surgeon General has Determined that weighing yourself first thing in the morning at the same time (Monday morning most important for Blubs) provides a more reliable weight loss determination and allows e mailing your results to Tundra Bob on time.

Danger Mouse is just happy to be a sponsor of B4

**Extra double rainbow points (blubberations???) for Cathy for identifying the "Witness" reference  and Amy for some good "Smack Talk" and commenting in the posts below**

I have most of the results, so I will go ahead and post.  First of all we have 13 participants in the B4 (a few withdraws when they saw the toughness of the competition...) and nine have forked over the dough for the grand prize.  That means - the winner (biggest looser) of the B4 will be the proud owner of 90 pieces of wampum.  The competition looks strong and the next two week are going to be tough.  BTW - Jeanne, can you send me that recipe for caramel corn?  Or maybe just post it in the comments section below.  I digress...  Without further a due - I present you this weeks results...

Week Three B4 Smackdown!

Just a reminder  that "You are what you eat" and the Big Boisterous Blubber Battle (B4) Week Three Weigh in SMACKDOWN is tomorrow.  Make sure you call me with your "Double Rainbow - - - all the way" (click to relate) reports by Monday evening at the latest.

Cash collection is closed - it looks like we have 60 frogskins in the pot (so to speak) for six eligible loosers.

Today's battle is brought to you by Mr. Blubby McBlubberson III Esquire!  (see photo below)

We still have some loosers out there.  I did not try very hard this week and still managed to loose.  Mrs. Tundra Bob has been to the gym almost every day as usual and is even weighing her Pizza.  Good times!  I managed to go to the gym one day this last week - ran for 60 minutes and had a "Double Rainbow" experience.  It was a year ago when Mrs. Tundra Bob and I did a 9 mile run on the treadmills at the Alaska Club when they had a film crew stumbling around providing entertainment for us. Click for story.

Feel free to tell your stories for the week in the comment section below.

Well, here are this weeks numbers...

It is Monday! "Five-O-Clock, time for milking!"

Just a reminder that it is Monday - I have about half of the weights in...  Just wanted to send out a reminder because some people forgot last week.

What a bunch of looooozeers!

Wow - nice job.  It looks like the competition is off to a great start.  I have posted the blub tally below.  I did not hear from everyone, so there are a couple of blub calcs missing.

I have thought about the reward thing...  I think what I will do is put a star by the ID number for those who chip into the pot and they will be the ones eligible for winning the prize at the end.  So, if you want to be eligible - please send me, in some way, your $10.00 by next week to be eligible.  If you do not want to be in on the Biggest Looser moolah then you don't need to send anything in.

Here are the results for week 1:

Last Call!

Today's interruption is sponsored by - Theodor Geisel M.D.

  
We have two more entries and this should be it (really now...).   So, it looks like we will have $10.00, for each person, as our membership fee that will be added to the pot.  Get the money to me in the next week or so.  I prefer a ten dollar gold Krugerrand slung at our front door with a sling shot.  If not - you can mail the ten bucks to me (Tundra Bob and you all know how to find me).  At the end of the competition - March 28, 2011, the Biggest Looser will be awarded the pot (of money that is).  Please leave any comments below...

Official Initial Weights

Todays guest host is Dr. Seuss.

We have everyone now.  A few people did not have scales that went to "tenths" so I did round the weights and I will do so in the future (or you can when you send them to me).

 

Good luck everyone and work hard!  In the words of the famous philosophers at Lagoon - "Have Fun!"

Initial weigh in! Guest host - Bob Loblaw!

In the spirit of The Bob Loblaw Law Blog*
("Why should YOU go to jail for a crime someone else - noticed?")

Tundra Bob brings you the
 Big Boisterous Blubber Battle – Dysfunctional Edition!

I still have not received initial weights from everyone who said they wanted to do it – but I can’t wait forever, so here they are.

Take a peek at your competition.  Hopefully you can find your ID # that corresponds to the weight you sent in – that will be your official “Blub Number.”  Next Monday I will also show the percentage of weight lost so you can keep following that.  If something does not look right (technically) in the table – let me know.

If you have a scale that is in tenths of a pound – go ahead and send me the weight, including the tenths of a pound.  I think most scales do that these days.  If there are a lot that of you do not have a scale that goes to tenths then I will probably round all the weights.

Next Monday e mail your weights to me and hopefully I can have them all posted by late Monday evening.

Also – please give me some feedback on awards/incentives.  I have heard NOTHING!  Throw me a bone here!  The competition we did last year everyone gave $20.00 and the pot went to the winner.   If that is what you want to do let me know or if there is another way… let me know that too.

Will post on Tuesday Evening

A couple of people asked to wait a day for them to get their weights to me - so, I will post the beginning weights on Tuesday evening.

It looks like most people would like to have a reward for the winner.  I am new at this - any suggestions on how to do this?  You can post your comments to my via e mail or at the bottom of this entry.

Thanks and Good Luck!

Tundra Bob

Game On!

The time has come for our competition to start!  The initial weigh in will be on Monday November 29!  Please answer the poll quesitons on the right side of this blog >>>>>

Just a few reminders...

 

 

• Every Monday is weigh-in day. Email your weight to Tundra Bob.   The earlier I get your weigh-in results the quicker I can update the spreadsheet and post it on the Blubber page.
• Please try to weigh yourself on the same scale every Monday.
• I will post the results on this Blog on Mondays (late) or Tuesdays – depends on when everyone gets their weights in.
• I have not heard back from many people about the reward for winning this.  Please let me (Tundra Bob) know if you want a reward tied into this.
• If you do not submit your weight more than one time during the competition you will be disqualified.
• If you have any photos you would like posted on the blog please send them to me.  (e.g. before and after, the ordeal, etc.)
• Each participant will be assigned a number as some people are not comfortable revealing their weight at this point. When you email me just write, for example, #3 weigh in at 170.4
• I looks like it will be a long winter up here in Alaska – I hope weather is more inviting for loosing where you are at.
• This competition is open to all family and friends – spread the word so we can get plenty of people involved.

 

I think that's it!  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.  I look forward to hearing from you all Monday morning! Be sure to check back here for the initial weigh in results so you can size up your competition!
