TL;DR:
-AhoosierA is fat and out of shape
-AhooiserA wants to lose approx 3 lbs/week for the rest of the year. He will donate $1 per pound over 2.5 lbs a week that he loses to a weight-loss freeroll to take place in Jan 2021
-AhoosierA will donate $25 to the weight-loss freeroll every week that he doesn't lose 2.5 lbs
-I want YOU to take place and pledge to donate $1 for every lb over 2.5 lbs lost per week. You will gain access to the freeroll.
Hello PFA members,
I've considered a weight-loss bet for some time now, but have never jumped on it, but I have an idea that will not only give me motivation to lose some weight and get in better shape, but will also allow me and possibly some others to give back to the site. I'll explain below.
First a little about myself.
I'm 6'-0 and approximately 260 lbs. I'm 34 years old.
I've not been below 230 lbs since the age of 24.
I have asthma, and a bum knee from breaking my femur and smashing my knee in a car accident at the age of 18. Prior to that car accident I was extremely active in sports and weights.
THE PFA WEIGHT-LOSS BET/PLEDGE
I'm going to make a goal of losing 50 lbs by the end of 2020. Again I'm almost 260 lbs.
This equates to 10lbs/mo or 2.5lbs/week.
MY PLEDGE TO THE PFA WEIGHT-LOSS FREEROLL. PLEASE PLEDGE WITH ME.
I am going to video record my weight each week and post it in this thread.
- If I do NOT lose at least 2.5 lbs that week, I will donate $25 to the PFA weight-loss freeroll.
If I DO surpass the 2.5 lbs that week, I will donate $1 per lb that I beat it by.
I'm asking YOU to also pledge $1 per pound over the 2.5 lbs per week that I lose as well.
All the money pledged to the weight-loss bet will be pooled into a freeroll in January 2021. And only people who contributed to the pool will be able to participate in the freeroll.
If I DO NOT meet the goal weight of 210 lbs by January 1st 2021, I will have to donate a total of $500 personally to the weight-loss freeroll (the $500 will include any money that I have donated to the freeroll from July-December...so if Ive donated for example $150 from July-December, I'd have to add an additional $350)
I'd like for a minimum of 10 PFA members to get involved with this.
Druff, if we could maybe talk about this on then side and announce it on radio?
Example:
I start at 260 lbs and weigh in at 254 to start week 2. I and all pledgers will donate $4 that week. Week 3: I weigh in at 250. I and all pledgers will donate $2 that week. Week 3: I weigh in at 251 (I gained a pound) I will donate $25 and the pledgers have to donate $0.
