Hot Blonde Challenge
Quote: FaceI'm sure that's true HB, just don't bulk up. Muscle definately burns calories, but it also adds weight.
It also increases metabolism, which allows you to burn more calories 24 hours a day. When I've been on weight-lifting kicks I lost weight and was able to enjoy eating a lot more. Plus, muscle weight looks good.
Just saying. Maybe I should stop doing that ;)
Hey.Quote: LarsLarsonHello everyone. I'm Lawrence, HotBlonde's brother. I signed up for a membership on this forum specifically so I can join in on the challenge. I'm wanting a piece of the action. I'm going to put up $180 of my money... yes, against my own sister. I love her (and she knows that) but I have to say I've seen her too many times over countless years fall off the weight loss wagon.
So, you want a piece of your sister? Are you an older brother?
We all are.Quote: LarsLarsonDo I think she can do it this time? Sure. Do I think she actually will? Probably not. But who know, I could be wrong. And if I am I'll pay up. I may even fly all the way out to Vegas just for her weigh in. Thanks for having me and I'm curious to see how all of this turns out.
So then are you also saying she will hit her goal, collect the cash, but will be back to over 230lbs in 6 months?
Sounds like a good reality show series!

Quote: HotBlondeno reward to him if I fail.
Not even a great big hug?
Sure. But if I fail HE will probably be the one hugging ME for consolation :(. Oh yeah, and if I win, not only is he giving me $143 reward but he'll also take me out to celebrate at a fancy restaurant in Beverly Hills! :-DQuote: odiousgambitNot even a great big hug?
I know it may be too soon to tell but who, by the way, is planning on attending my weigh-in?
possibly, lol. i wouldn't know how to do that.Quote: kmumfWhat no live webcast?
Quote: FleaStiffI thought for a moment you were the Lars Larson who was a lover of wine, women, poker and Cobol programming who is already in Vegas and wondered what you were doing in a weight loss thread.
And I thought he was the infamous Lars Larson in Portland, Oregon, the controversial radio jock.
culturally incompetent white man
Asian women are natually very petite. The funny thing is oftentimes when I tell people that my goal weight is 134 at 5'8" people tell me, "Oh, no! That's too low of a goal!" For a female my height I should weigh between 122 and 164 pounds. And an even funnier thing is if you look at those sexy lingerie models in Maxim or Victoria Secrets that guys drool over, and even the Playboy Playmates, girls my height are around 110 pounds. Marissa Miller is my height and 110 pounds and is considered a "model" for women. Go figure.Quote: pacomartinBTW did you see that article that says 29% of Japanese women are underweight? Twenty-four-year-old Shiho Aoki at 5 feet 1 and weighing 100 pounds, Aoki said she was considered "fat" among friends. "I had a child 8 months ago, but I've been struggling to lose weight ever since," Aoki told ABC News. "I'm very jealous of my friends who are skinny."
Is the nude weigh-in taking place is The Valley or in Vegas?Quote: HotBlondewho is planning on attending my weigh-in?
He's giving me $1 for every pound I lose from my original 277 pounds. He knew me when I was 277 pounds. I told him that my personal goal weight is 134, hence the $143 reward. My plan is to weigh 134 on my weigh-in date.Quote: SOOPOOOk, HB... is your friend who put up $143 in the regular betting pool to make it to 160.8, or do you have to make it to 143 lbs for him to pay off? 143 seems like and odd number ( I guess it is an odd number) for someone to wager. Tomorrows weigh in... over under at 224.9. good luck...
Lol, I won't be weighing in nude but it will be taking place in Vegas. I will be wearing a bikini as to keep the number on the scale as low as possible.Quote: FleaStiffIs the nude weigh-in taking place in The Valley or in Vegas?

For accuracy, then, your friend is in for $117 as far as the HB challenge is concerned. You two have a separate agreement, not covered in the HB challenge, that he may give you MORE than the $117 if your weight loss exceeds the 90 pounds that is the cornerstone of the HB weight loss challenge. That additional $26 is earned AFTER you have successfully reached the HB challenge weight of 160.8 pounds. Looking forward to your weigh in and blog tomorrow......
Scott, he is paying me $143 on October 17th and it has everything to do with this weight loss challenge. It's $143, not $117.Quote: SOOPOOFor accuracy, then, your friend is in for $117 as far as the HB challenge is concerned.

I thought he will be paying you 1dollar for each pound less than 277. Are you saying you only win the challenge if you make it to 134? I was pretty sure you expect to get paid at 160.8. Therefore, the challenge as agreed to is for 160.8. What he pays you outside of the challenge is between you and him. So which is it? Is the challenge to get to 160.8, or 134?
The challenge says that I have to weigh 160.8 or LESS on October 17th. I don't have to weigh exactly 160.8 on that date. On October 17th my friend Sam is paying me $143.Quote: SOOPOOI thought he will be paying you 1dollar for each pound less than 277. Are you saying you only win the challenge if you make it to 134?

Quote: HotBlondeSo a friend of mine has offered to pay me a $143 reward on October 17th of this year, with no reward to him if I fail.
So now it's $6202 to win $665 + $1 for every pound below 160.

This is the corrected version, as Sami B will pay depending upon the exact weight.
He's paying me $143 on October 17th regardless of how much I weigh. He knows that my goal is 134 pounds so he will pay me then even if I need another week or two to get to 134.Quote: SOOPOOBut only if you weigh 134, correct? Or will he pay you 143 even if you weigh 160? If he will be paying you $143 if you weigh 160, then you are correct. If he will be paying you $143 only if you weigh 134, then you are incorrect. You will have won the HB challenge at 160, and he will have only paid you for the 117 pounds less than the 277 you were. I'll put up another $650 against your $150 that you wont be at 134 or less on October 17. Let me know if you are interested. And if we make that bet, I will still be rooting for you.....
If you put up $650 to win $150 those are terrible odds. My 90 pounds in 40 weeks is set at 9:1 odds, why would the ratio get smaller to get to 134??It's $6228 to win $665.

Why would the ratio get smaller? Isn't it more difficult to lose 117 pounds in 282 days then to lose 90 pounds in 282 days? You're not very good at setting odds.Quote: SOOPOOThe ratio gets smaller because you have already shown the mettle to succeed!! After an event has started the odds of course change. Sami B. is really not betting against you, rather, he is really sponsoring you. But I'll leave him in the grid at $143. You of course do not have to take the new bet. It is just an option for you. So $665 risked to win $6228.
Quote: SOOPOOAs stated previously, it is what I'm offerring. You do not have to accept it. If you have another spectacular weigh in tomorrow I may withdraw the additional offer. The offer is good until you post your blog tomorrow.
Nothing has changed in the past few minutes...

EH--- bet $45 against your buddy... HB says each bet against her gives her more motivation... you will be helping her cause with this tiny wager... you can still root for her while betting against her...

I am planning on getting a breast lift for sure and will be using my winnings towards that. I may need a tummy tuck too and other nips and tucks too, who knows?Quote: buzzpaffAnyone who does not pay up when HB wins will be dealt with severely. Not a threat, just stating a fact. I am assuming she will

The official "HotBlonde Challenge" bet is to lose 90 pounds in 40 weeks. So that is 2.25 pounds per week. In the first five weeks HB has lost 22.6 pounds, or 4.52 pounds per week. A weekly progress report is expected tomorrow.
So, she is losing weight at twice the rate needed to. I think SOOPOO is trying to say that your odds of winning are looking good, and he is trying to get you to make a side wager for an even greater weight loss. The terms of the side bet would be a total loss of 117 pounds at -433 odds.
To make a comparison, the Patriots were about -130 favorites to win the Super Bowl. However, at the end of the first quarter the score was 9-0 Giants. If someone were to bet that game at that point then the Giants should be favored. To make a rough guess, about -220.
In my opinion, I think the odds should be sweeter than that for HB. Everyone knows that the closer you get to the bone the harder it is to lose weight. If I were in HB's shoes I would turn down that bet or negotiate better terms. How about one year to lose 117 at the same -900 odds?

So if it's not a threat. What do you mean exactly? Economic sanctions?
Quote: WizardThose are good arguments why your offer is fair. However, it seems HB isn't interested so why belabor the point? Perhaps the two of us could make a side bet on whether she will achieve the original challenge. Care to make an offer on an in-progress price?
If I understand you, you are asking one of us to hedge our bet! I'm not sure which way I'd bet. I'll revisit this after the weigh in tomorrow.
Quote: SOOPOOIf I understand you, you are asking one of us to hedge our bet! I'm not sure which way I'd bet. I'll revisit this after the weigh in tomorrow.
Good idea. I tend to think you'll be the one hedging, since you are so confident HB will win.
What does that mean? You guys will have a bet just between the two of you whether I'll get below 160.8 or not? I don't understand. And please don't insult me any more, SOOPOO, just because I don't understand basic gambling terms.Quote: WizardPerhaps the two of us could make a side bet on whether she will achieve the original challenge.

Quote: HotBlondeWhat does that mean? You guys will have a bet just between the two of you whether I'll get below 160.8 or not? I don't understand.
Yes, that is what I was suggesting to SOOPOO. I hope that doesn't bother you.
Who wants to bet it will be number two by the time of the weigh-in...?
Better yet, who can name the date it becomes number two, without going over?
No, that doesn't bother me at all. You can bet on whatever you like. I'm just a bit surprised that you would think that I wouldn't even hit the 160.8 pound goal. Granted, as of last Monday's weigh-in I still would have to lose over 67 pounds to get to 160.8 or below but I don't think of that as something hard to accomplish. Do you?Quote: WizardYes, that is what I was suggesting to SOOPOO. I hope that doesn't bother you.
Since you are so confident in winning the challenge, will you accept in-progress wagers at this point at even money that you won't?
I'm not sure that would be fair to those people who put in a bet at 9 times the amount against me.Quote: WizardIf the chances for anything are greater than 0% and less than 100% then there is some fair line for it. If two people disagree on the probability then a bet should be able to be agreed to.
Since you are so confident in winning the challenge, will you accept in-progress wagers at this point at even money that you won't?
