Side Bet #1 is a “Biggest Loser” contest, but since that’s probably trade marked I’ll just call it the “Fattest Loser” contest.
I suggest “Greatest Loser” instead of “Fattest Loser”
….or “Mostest Loser”

That is impressive! It is hard to lose that much weight when you are so light to start. Great job!

After I started all this cycling back in September, my goal was to get from 200 down to 185; about six weeks ago I plateaued at a few pounds off my goal, and haven’t been able to get the last few off yet. So, this is the perfect challenge for me! I weighed in this morning at 188, and will see how far I can get.
That was Jan. 2. Today I weighed in at 180.5, so I passed my 185 goal, which is great. As for the side bet:
188 – 180.5 = 7.5
7.5 is %3.98 of 188If you’ll allow me to round that, it’s a %4 loss. Not great, but I’m happy about it, since I’ve done nothing to change my diet, except that I eat way more than I did before I started cycling!

ParticipantI haven’t kept close track, but I think I’m down from about 201 to 199 since Christmas. Leastest loser but at least not a gainer.

202 on 1/2 (forgot to post) to 206 today — can there be a prize for largest weight gain?
I’m up there with you — I think I went from 190~ to just over 200 (200.5) this morning. Food is good.

Why not.

This comes as a surprise to me, but 169 today. Must be all those calories I burned cursing at the ice.
Holding steady at 169 (3% drop), but my waning gibbous phase has reached the point where my pants don’t hold themselves up without a belt. My BAFS prize is going to be new jeans!

Not only have I had to move in a notch on my belt, but two weeks ago I had to drill a new hole just to get the belt cinched enough to keep my pants up. Weird.

Ha, I have beaten the tyranny of the belt holes. I have one of those claspy canvas belts that don’t have holes. Need to fine-tune your belt in preparation for a big meal? Done and done.

An example of why I’m better off writing than in person: long-delayed metaphors.
I have a friction belt, unlike your silly modern indexed belts.
I’ll go get back to work now.

ParticipantNo further loss after this post. But I won’t sneeze at a 4.8% drop over the course of BAFS.

Something about this challenge is clearly having good effects. I’m down from 210 to 200 as of this morning. By comparison, I’d lost only 7 lbs. in the whole preceding year!

Doesn’t skinny feel hungry?
Do I get a pointless prize for maintaining my exact weight at the beginning?
185.4
0.7% increase to 186.7
Or maybe I was wearing heavier shoes.

Sure, I’ll bite. 166 last night. Target: less…
So, 160 as of 3/20 (didn’t get a chance to post pre-vaca). Not award winning, but down 3.75%
