Introducing PPP Biggest Loser

Hanging out in the Chatty Cathy today a bunch of commenters on this fair site were discussing starting diets. I suggested we do a riff on The Biggest Loser, an American TV show which per Wikipedia:
The basic premise of the show is that obese people become contestants who are competing to win $250,000 (originally $100,000) by losing the highest percentage of weight.
This first post is to gain the level of interest in losing some weight as a community so that we can not only be smarter and funnier than everyone else but we can also be handsomer / sexier too.
Some initial questions: should there be money placed down for the winner? For a lot of people the monetary motivation will help them stick with dieting. Should we go by largest percentage of lost weight, most weight lost or something fancy like largest BMI change towards "ideal"?

meh, I don’t care about winning prizes.
I wouldn’t be losing a great percentage of my body weight either, because I don’t want to lose my curvyness /wink

Sure, I'm in. No cash though.
My name might be SkinnyFish, but I could stand to lose a few pounds. Being sidelined with injuries will do that to you, just ask Kyle Wellwood.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.
Are those Team Canada shorts? I never noticed that before. If so, takes the picture to another level.

I am definitely interested. I’ve already been working towards losing a large amount of weight this year, but am struggling with motivation at times.
As for money, I propose that all cash collected be used to purchase a new Leafs jersey for the winner, since they will likely be swimming in their old one.

As the person purchasing the jersey I’m sure you’ll get the jersey for the highly touted Bruins prospect you always wanted.

But for me for example, I could say my starting weight was 185lbs, then use my actual weight as my final… just to win the money. For anyone who doesn’t need to lose weight, it makes perfect sense. Or for someone who’s lost weight to embellish it a bit, don’t think it’s a far stretch.

I could just hold two 15lb weights in my left hand hand and take the picture with the right hand looking down at the scale. Really, if you want to cheat there’s gonna be a way unless everyone’s in the same room watching the weigh-in. Now I’m gonna shut up about cheating since I’m not entering anyway.

ok, well you can’t enter then.
In loving memory of #21 Chris Higgins......I never even got the chance to say "I Love You"
If someone just suddenly dropped like 15-20 lbs in one interval, it would clearly be questioned. And if anyone was that shallow and self-centred that they felt the need to cheat in a contest meant to promote the overall health of everyone involved, that’s really just a sad, sad statement about the person.
Besides, I’m reasonably certain Chemmy’s going to accuse everyone else of cheating constantly.

If you can out-cheat me you’ve earned the money.

I was 148lbs last September but I didn’t run the Detroit Marathon at the end of October like I have the past few years. By New Year’s I weighed in at 182.6lbs, the most I’ve ever weighed. I was back down under 160lbs in under 3 weeks and back to my current weight in just over a month. Rapid weight gain and loss isn’t unheard of. Going from running 40+ miles a week to not running for a few months to training again does that.
by CanadianMaple09 on Jul 13, 2010 2:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Good for you.
I don’t care.
Why do you insist on turning something positive into something negative? For the most part, we’re all friends and we trust each other. Unless there’s something really questionable, we’re going to give each other the benefit of the doubt. If someone is really that sad that they’re going to cheat about something that will make them healthier and feel better then I hope karma gets them.

6’3", 185-200lbs suits me just fine. Though I wish my weight would stop fluctuating so much.
Not Liking Nikolai Kulemin Means You Have No Soul
Yeah, 6’1, 170 (ish), I could stand to loose a smidge, but not nearly enough to win anything at all in a contest like this.
Really my problem is that my overall fitness level is utter crap, and I need to do something to develop a minimal level of athleticism other than sit on a couch bent-over in front of a computer.
So what’s the target date? October 1? Leaf 2011 Cup Victory? Armstrong potting his 500th?
by not norm ullman on Jul 13, 2010 1:57 PM EDT reply actions
Maybe December 1?
2lbs a week is a safe target for loss. 18 weeks times 2lbs gives people a chance to lose 35lbs-ish.

It’s actually still in the “healthy” weight range. For someone my height and age the healthy weight range is 144-194lbs (seems like a ridiculously big range, I know). Also the running has a lot to do with that, I couldn’t be sedentary and maintain that weight. If I never worked out and hardly ate to maintain that size, I’d say that was sickly.

I figure this is as appropriate a place as any to ask
To start with, I have crazy tiny wrists. is it normal to do pushups but feel like you’ll break your wrists in half? As far as I can tell, I’m in the right position, but it always hurts my wrists (even back when I could do pushups, which I really can’t now.)
Article1: "I WANT HER TO BE A PRINCESS! THIS MAKES HER LOOK LIKE A SLUT!"
women have a different centre of gravity so it’s harder for us to do traditional push ups

That’s why they call them “girl push-ups”.

I’ve NEVER been able to do “girl” pushups. Guys pushups have always been easier for me.

"...sometimes I wake up cradling a gourd."
I’ve never gotten how “girl” pushups work anything, except screwing up one’s back.
Article1: "I WANT HER TO BE A PRINCESS! THIS MAKES HER LOOK LIKE A SLUT!"
You’re supposed to do them with only your knees on the floor, not your feet also. You then rock on your knees as you do the push up, and your feet start low and finish high as you go down to the floor.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.
i always do tri-sets of push ups, 20 with hands at shoulder width, 20 with hands at 6 inches past shoulders and 20 with hands together

I do three sets of that every night before bed, along with 150 crunches (alternate 20 push-ups with 50 crunches). Doing push-ups with your hands placed at different distances apart really works a lot of different areas of your chest.

You can do pushups with balled up fists, that can help alleviate wrist pain.

My personal weight loss strategy
Spend money on weed instead of food. You’ll get hungry when you smoke up, but there won’t be anything in your house to eat.
Also, whenever you’re not at work, sleep. That way you’ll only eat while you’re at work and thus, only eat one meal a day.
My Goal Is To Make Each Comment As Meaningless As Possible
that sounds like my strategy the last year of high school, minus the weed bit. I did drink quite a bit of soda, but I never ate anything. Most people have a name for this plan and it’s usually anorexia.

Avoid...
All grains
All Dairy
Eat as much meat and vegetables as you’d like.
What kind of diet is that? I live off of grains and dairy, with a bit of meat and some vegetables. Carbo loading is the way to go!

What he said in the "comment" section:

“AS much as I would like to reveal my sources regarding this information, I can’t because then I wouldn’t be ahead of the game. "
“As much as I would like to reveal my sources regarding this information, I can’t because then I would be revealed for the fraud I am and you guys would laugh my ass off the internet.”
But what if he's right?
Can anyone confirm this salacious rumour?
If he’s right, the Leafs get Bobby Ryan.
If he’s wrong, we get to make fun of someone on the internet.

Well that’s all well and good for the fit people, but what about the merely gangly? Just out of raw curiosity I just limbered up and tried doing push ups on the office floor here and only got to 20.
Actually I think I have lost weight this summer, but mostly on the “stressed out and eating irregularly” plan, which I don’t really recommend.
Phew, I’m still a bit winded from those pushups too.
We need a seperate class of our own entitled “Lanky”. If you are within 20lbs of the bottom limit of healthy weight for your height and are over 5’10, you fit into this category.
by CanadianMaple09 on Jul 14, 2010 1:05 AM EDT up reply actions
Hm. Not sure I’d make that cutoff… Need to do some research.
Do have a small gut on me (but not much fat elsewhere).
Tried to weight myself, but the battery in our electric scale is “lo”… and we’ve only had it for a year. That’s a rip and a half.
And according to this page my medical recomendation (base on BMI) is 144 – 189 lbs, and I’d be a squeaker to get within 20 pounds of the min weight there.
According to the more anachronistic Met Life tables my ideal is 164 – 178 lbs, which I think I qualify for, but that range is smaller than 20.
Hahaha oh well, it was just a purely hypothetical weight class for awkward lanky people to fight each other. I don’t plan on dropping the gloves (or in this case, lacing them up) with you any time soon… so no worries!

To help my cause
I’m going to eat like shit until the contest actually starts
My Goal Is To Make Each Comment As Meaningless As Possible
I'm down...
5’11" 180 lbs.
I know that doesn’t seem that bad but I use to train regularly and was at my best at 160.
So yeah, I’m in.
I'm in for the fun of it
5’6" and played hockey at 225. I’m the guy who got hurt, stretched out an Achilles tendon and tore ligaments in foot/ankle and gained weight. I don’t think I could out eat Kyle Wellwood though.
You guys will motivate me to work out six days a week, which is a win-win and a good start.
I am quite fat. I lost 50lbs on my own before (no gym membership, no fad diet) with exercise and changing my eating habits.
Then I started shift work and man, did that eff up the whole thing.
Even though I am 5 years older, I can do it again.
I’m in – no money though, If I need that as a motivator then I’m doing it for the wrong reason.
When do we start?
5’9 and somewhere between 235-240 – I haven’t weight myself in a few months.
Target weight around 180.

I guess this is where we’re documenting our current weight? Checked on the Gym scale this morning, 5’10" 195lbs.
I’d love to (realistically) get down to 185, but I use the gym more to add muscle than to shed lbs. Can’t hurt to add some more cardio though.

Don’t know if anyone’s interested, but you can do the principles of Weight Watchers without paying for the membership/meetings by using online resources:
Step One: Calculate your daily Point Total – http://www.peertrainer.com/LoungeCommunityThread.aspx?ForumID=1&ThreadID=47011
You also have 35 “flex” points to use each week. These are for treating yourself once a week.
Step Two: Print this journal. http://www.dwlz.com/Al/pdfsheets/journalsheet.html
Step Three: Record what foods you eat and how many points they are
http://quiddity.cc/rachel/diet/wwfoods.htm#C – Covers most foods
http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html – Fast Food Restaurant Weight Watchers Point Totals
http://www.dwlz.com/restaurantscanadian.html – Canadian Restaurant Weight Watchers Point Totals
http://www.calculatorcat.com/free_calculators/weight_watchers_calculator.phtml Point Calculator
Step Four – Gain points by doing exercise. If you work out, you can gain back points and eat more: http://www.ehow.com/how_5018650_figure-weight-watchers-activity-points.html
Tada!
"...sometimes I wake up cradling a gourd."
Wow
I’m already feeling good about this. Got myself weighed last night, and came in a full 15lbs lighter than I thought I would be. Currently 5’11 and 205lbs; with absolutely no fitness level to speak of.
Oh funny story, my mom knows I’m doing the P90X thing and I was talking about chin up bars today and she said I shouldn’t get one because I’ll be off for school in about 7 weeks and should just use the gym there. Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out what part of “home workout” she doesn’t understand.
