Guessing this is pretty much a dead deal

Sadly yes. Crickets from HB since February 11.
She was scheduled for some back surgery a couple of weeks back, so is possibly too busy recovering from that to bother with this forum.

I'm in frequent contact with HB outside of the forum. I recently asked her for a progress report on the challenge. She admitted her chances don't look very good. She added that she intends to pay all losing bets come May 13.

Thanks Mike, and thanks also to HB for the update.

To HB,
Regardless of the wager, do not do anything desperate or dangerous to your health in some last ditch attempt to win. Hope your recent medical treatment went well and that you are in good health and good spirit. Hope too that had some success with the challenge from a health and wellbeing standpoint.

Quote: HotBlonde

I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 289.2 pounds. If you need me to weigh myself again tomorrow as proof or something I can. I started my diet today so I should be around that or slightly less.

My target weight is 164.6 pounds or less on May 13, 2017 (and that would be my weight naked). That gives me 306 days (or 10 months and 2 days, or just under 44 weeks) to hit my goal.

If anyone is interested in my calculations, here's what I figured: if I follow the current plan I have set up I should reach 163.7 pounds on my birthday (May 13th). And yes, that's cutting it close (yikes) but it will only motivate me to really stick to my plan and possibly add in exercise.



Happy Birthday HB,
Doesn't time fly when you are on a tight schedule.
I hope you'll pop by soon to report that you are happy and well and close to your target weight. I'm sure that win or lose, you're still hot.

Well, I guess that she's entitled to enjoy her birthday without stressing over a few wagers.
Patience for now.

I think I'm allowed to say that she admits defeat and will make arrangements via PM to those she bet with.

I think the gentlemen of the forum will take the opportunity while there are a few hours left to wish her a happy birthday.

Most assuredly Happy Birthday and also my condolences for not hitting her weight loss goal. I have no doubt she gave it an extremely valiant effort under the circumstances.

As I've said a few times. I hope she had some measure of success, because then even losing would not be in vain.

Thanks HB,

Commiserations. It was always a tough target.

PM sent with my PayPal address. Please select payment type of 'personal gift' if you can find that option as that might minimise my fees.
International Bank transfer as an alternative if you prefer. PM me for details if required.

I skipped several pages of this thread. I don't know if I missed anything or not.
I don't recall what the bet was but I do know that I did not bet anything at all so I'm safely on the sidelines.

With my weight challenges... well, I guess I better not go there. Seriously thinking of the knife though. Or else radioactive iodine.

Fleastiff, you can do it! It's never too late. You seem to have a lot of info regarding diet and nutrition.

Weren't other forum members banned for not paying a bet? Is HB banned? Or is this one of those two-insults-cancel-out-two-bans situations? Can someone womansplain all this female privilege to my feeble male brain?

Roger,

I guess since you're asking for womansplaining about bannings, you're addressing me, but as I said at the beginning of this thread at some length, I recused myself from anything concerning this thread. The likelihood of this situation occuring is one of the reasons why.

Let me just say that there has been a lot of communication with HB behind the scenes. I don't know what I'm at liberty to say but she is definitely trying to work this out. At this point, I think it is too early to ban her for welching as she at least owns up to the debt and is in communication about paying it.

You are completely forgiven and I also hate people who bring up spelling errors, but I think most of us, myself included till lately, think we are using 'capitol' correctly but are not. This is not a harangue but a "thought you might want to know"

Capital vs. capitol

As a noun, capital refers to (1) a city that serves as a center of government, (2) wealth in the form of money or property, and (3) a capital letter...

Capitol has two very specific definitions (outside ancient Rome): (1) a U.S. state legislature building, and (2) the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. State capitols are located in the capital cities of U.S. states, and the Capitol is located in the capital city of the U.S. If you’re not talking about any of these capitol buildings, then the word you want is probably capital.

from http://grammarist.com/usage/capitol-capital/
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!”   She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

Unbelievable that she hasn't been banned yet.

Many have been banned for much less.


There's only 2 possible reasons the bets haven't been paid yet:

1) she doesn't have the money

2) she doesn't plan on paying

She had her hand out to collect pretty quick after challenge #1 ended.

If only she had the same eagerness to get the challenge #2 bets resolved
