The title of this blog has derived from the slogan that Cody and I developed some time ago. "This is Hiss" is short for "This is History". The saying is exclaimed as you point to a part of your body, such as your stomach or love handle, that you feel is carrying some extra baggage. I tend to point the finger of scorn at my stomach. You can pick your own location. It's time to get pumped and to learn what this blog is all about!
It is going down! When I say, "It's going down!" I mean, this competition and my weight! I am serious about shedding off some very unecessary pounds. I am looking for the support of family and friends to make this happen. I have designed this blog for a friendly competition. This blog is for those committed and serious about dropping the pounds. Everyone is a volunteer and everyone is ready to change their way of life. All you have to do is set a goal (number of pounds you want to lose) and a deadline (when you want to drop the pounds by). With your goal comes the wager! After you have set your goal you will put a price on it. You will decide how much you will pay per pound when you reach your deadline. For example, Patty Fatty wants to lose 15 pounds by Fattember 2nd and decides that she will pay out $3 per pound. If Fattember 2nd rolls around and she lost 12 pounds she will put $9 in the pot. I am not sure what to do with the pot yet but if anyone has any brilliant ideas let me know. You may also work in teams. For example, lets say the Fattersons want to get together and make a combined goal! Whether you work solo or with a teammate we are all gonnna work together as a team. You may post your achievements along the way and you can also post what you are doing to drop the pounds. So, join in on the fun! I am ready to do this!!
Yeah! This will help me keep on top of my goals! Woot!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! What a fun idea :) Go you with jogging with Carl this morning! Tracey and I should probably hop back on the treadmill in the mornings... woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteLove this, love you.
ok homeslice I am posting my goal. By July 1st I want to lose 7 lbs. I am willing to pay $2 per pound. Here goes foolios!! OH OH OH!!
ReplyDeleteI've made a serious decision for this summer that I'm gonna get rid of the baby fat and plus some. So my first wager is to lose five pounds by July 1st. I'll pay $2 per pound :)
ReplyDeleteYO YO! This is Big Cwal! I would like to get down to 190 by the beginning of Sept.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: How exactly does this work? Do I say I'll pay $2 for every pound I dont lose and that is my penalty, or do I say I will pay myself $2 per pound if I make my goal? Or is it something else entirely?
Tracey will make a wager after the baby is born...
Ok everybody!! Good work with posting your goals!! I am gonna throw down my wager. I am gonna lose 8 pounds by the 4th of July! I am putting up $2.50 per pound to show you all up! Lets do this everybody!!!
