The NY Mafia Fatboy Challenge
I just went back to the gym today and after trying to convince Coca to go, he came up with this challenge. The challenge will be from now to the NYCC. Everyone who participates puts in $100 in the pot. The winner gets the pot.
**YOU MUST BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR ACTUAL WEIGHT!!! THE HONOR SYSTEM IS IN EFFECT!!!**
-Weight loss will be determined by weight loss percentage, like on the Biggest Loser.
Example:
Quote:
When they lose weight - lets say a 200 pound person loses 4 pounds - that would be 2% of their body weight....
they get that percentage by dividing 4 by 200 (not 200 divided by 4 ) So the loss is divided by the total body weight and the decimal answer is a percentage... the answer here would be .02 - which when the decimal is moved over two places to the right it becomes 2 and then you add the % sign. --- .02 = 2%
|
-People who enter have to be at the con.
-The final weigh in will take place during the Friday night dinner.
-No skinny people can enter.

Great idea! We've been doing this at work too... I suggest going by percentage weight loss though.
You guys should post before and after pics too
