    The TTF Biggest Loser Contest… Information and Rules

    By admin | April 22, 2008 |

    OK gang, this is the Official Information and Rules thread for the 2008 TTF Biggest Loser weight loss contest. Several great ideas have been mentioned in the Biggest Loser post that can be found HERE, and it was from those ideas that I compiled the following information and contest rules. May the Biggest Loser Win!!

    General Information:

    If your name is on the following participants list, please confirm whether or not you will actually be participating by emailing the Cap’n at admin “at” tastethefear.com ASAP. If your name isn’t on this list and you’d like to join in, please use this same email address to submit your name to the participants list. All interested chileheads MUST confirm by email no later than 24hrs prior to contest start date. If you confirm in the comments, it might get overlooked.

    The list:

    * Buddah
    * Huvason
    * DK
    * Sandi
    * ATKRIDER-Bill
    * Hudd
    * Big Dawg
    * Candy
    * Blane
    * Turk

    Contest Prize Sponsors so far:
    ( I’ll add to this list as more info becomes available)

    * Fat Kid Sauces
    * Bisummo
    * Cape Fear Pepper Company
    * Buddah
    * xerarchs.com
    * HeadWinderLicker.com
    * ONE bottle of sauce from each participant to be added to the prize pot.

    Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 losers. The actual prizes will be announced at the end of the contest.
    All final stats will be announced here on TTF within a week of the ending deadline date.

    * This contest will be conducted on the honor system.
    * The contest weight loss results will be calculated by the percentage of weight lost. This is calculated by the amount of weight lost, divided by your starting weight. The Biggest Losers will be the participants who have lost the highest percentage of weight.
    * Due to the fact that this contest is judged only by the fact that weight will be lost, no particular meal/diet plan will be enforced. I’d like to call it the “whatever works best for you plan”…

    Always consult your physician or health care provider before beginning any nutrition or exercise program. Please understand that you are solely responsible and that participation in the TTF Biggest Loser contest is your sole choice and you do so at your own risk.

    Rules:

    * Contest starts on April 27th 2008, and will end on July 27 2008

    * If at anytime during the contest any of the participants fail to submit their weight in the comment section thats within the “weekly Biggest Loser tracking threads” they will automatically be disqualified.
    If for any reason you may not be near a computer, on vacation etc., on a reporting date, please email the admin in advance and we can possibly make some type of arrangement… admin “at” tastethefear.com

    The weekly weight tracking thread will be posted every Sunday until the end of the contest.
    *Please post your weekly stats in the comments no later than Monday evening or else!

    * All final weights and pics MUST be submitted via email to the TTF Administrator No Later Than midnight on July 27th 2008.

    * Participants MUST submit at least one recipe to the admin via email that they will be using on their particular weight loss plan. These recipes MUST include some type of Fiery Food product. Pic would be nice, but optional.
    ( This info will be published in a post on TTF to share with others )

    * Each Participant Must send ONE bottle of hot sauce that will be added to the prize kitty. email admin for shipping info…

    * I don’t want to embarrass anyone online, so if you’d prefer that a beginning pic not be posted online, please let me know in advance, HOWEVER, a pic to go along with your starting weight will need to be sent to the admin as proof to be compared to the final picture and weight at the end of contest. (Please no nude pics)

    * At the start of the contest, Beginning weights along with pics MUST be submitted to the admin no later than Midnight of April 27th 2008

    OK folks, it is what it is, so lets keep it real, and have fun!!! I’ll publish the Official start post before the actual start date just as a reminder.

      I’ll have to get my 30 year old 10 speed out and start riding again. I rode it quite a bit last year and was doing alot of walking and watching carbs and sugars. Type II diabetes will get you to doing that. Got depressed around October and I’ve slacked on the exercise and started eating whatever I wanted again. Just not as much as I used to. I’m hoping this little contest will be the kick in the a$$ I need to get back to doing right.
