Week 0: Let’s Get This Party Started

Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at 10:30:33 PM GMT+1

(It’s amazing how repetitive I get as I get older. I guess I’ve run out of material.)

Now that 2016 is behind us, we can finally look forward to a slimmer, more positive 2017. This is the year we eat healthier, exercise regularly, and sleep enough.

Unless there’s something good on Netflix, of course, along with a bowl of hot chili. Netflix and chili—nothing beats it on a long winter’s night.

And we all know winter is coming.

Uh... yeah, weight loss.

Last year I posted studies from Cornell University and one from University of Pittsburg which show that monitoring your weight regularly helps you to be more confident in managing your weight loss and in keeping it off.

So just by joining the BFLG contest, you’re already on your way to a healthier you.

Let’s take at look at us now. Because this is all about us. There are 17 of us with an average weight of 209.5 lb. That makes Fatty McButterpants (aka, Mr. Mamba-Like Zen) both Mr. Median and Mr. Average at 207 lb. Well, if you look at Sneezed Rims In, he also looks pretty average, too, at 211.6 lb.

We already have two people with BMI’s under 25—I Robe Jeep and Cher Jonc En—because they like to gloat over the rest of us.

For those with BMIs over 30, let me break out my list:

Congratulations?

Finally, there are BFLGers among us that start off with bonus points, meaning they lost weight in the last contest and actually kept some of it off.

Sneezed Rims In is already winning by virtue of his bonus points.

Also, as a reminder, please try to weigh in at least twice in the 15 weeks *cough*Keg Stamina*cough*.

Good luck troughers, and may the odd be ever in your favor.
