Reverend Blitzo....
A proud winner of the diet challenge is now officially stranded. His rig which has been giving him trouble for some time no longer will move.
Sorry sucker is stuck out in a desert cabin with no cell phone coverage, no Internet access and a borrowed bike from Russ to pedaling down to town in 105 heat on a sandy dirt road in hopes of hopping public transit for beer runs.
Somehow I'm thinking that he needs any winning dollars he's due. And pronto.

Fattrad, I'm with you. Besides Zap needs easy tasks so perhaps less payouts are better?
I too donate my winnings to the Bluto. That or he'll live on my couch forever.

Noshoesnoshirt has contacted me, and we are working out details.
He did not have access to a scale prior to or after event.
He was working in remote location.
He says that he knows that he has lost quite a bit of weight, but not sure if he lost 10 pounds.
I believe that he will pay up as a non winner, but not sure of the amount.

The only person that i have not had contact with is Anxious Melancholy.
All others have made contact.
I am still awaiting final payment of $20, but looks like we will have a total collected of $100, split 7 ways, which equals around $14.28 each, minus whatever paypal charges me for their services.
All winners have been e mailed with a request for address for payment.

Need more than that? Then read on.
This thread has been edited, the original May 28 post only stated, "3 weeks starting Monday June 1st. Goal lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks." and I responded positively on the 29th. Then "rules" were posted later on the 29th, and now shown as an edit to the original post. I posted quickly after that, "ugh. rules."
Then, on June 16th, in a response to the ongoing debate re: losers, not winners, pay up stuff, I wrote,
"zip,although i was the the first responder to sp's thread, if you'll pay attention, my only other response was the 7th post of the now 300+, when i posted something along the lines of "ugh, rules." that pretty much sums it up for me. i'm continuing on my personal journey, losing weight (lost 50 in 18 weeks, 10 to go). i'm more fully understanding what comprises a healthy intake of food (i hesitate to use the word diet which has accumulated associations with a restricted intake of food, rather than a normal and healthy "diet" or partaking of nutrition), as well understanding my previous cognitive dissonance in this arena. but I play on my own terms, not others. please accept the fact that i opted out of susan's scheme early on, yet continue personal efforts of self improvement. yours truly,very anxious about my melancholy."
So I was originally interested and eager in playing along with you all, but some of the rules didn't fit with my personal goals. It would have been disingenuous for me to loose the weight the way I was, (am) and claim that I was following those rules. Or stated differently, I would not have felt good about collecting money from people who were following the rules yet may not have reached their loss goal, when I was successful, yet used "extreme dieting" techniques to do so.
Bottom line, sorry if my "ugh, rules" and follow-up post wasn't clear. Personally, my "ugh rules" post was intended as a notice of my withdrawal from the challenge. At the time of my original post I was already dieting, that's why I was interested. But upon the posting of the rules I understood that my approach was not in alignment with the challenge's. I have successfully dropped the weight (got pictures!) but feel that living exclusively, for a period of months, on "diet shakes" represents the forbidden "extreme dieting."
I guess at this piont I'm a little confused as to how to proceed. I feel like I opted out early and honestly.

We try to use simple terms here in diet challenge land.....
things like, "I'm in"
or "I'm out."
After all, it is a wager or bet that the weight will come off. Bets and who is making them and taking them use concrete terms.
"ugh, rules" is a mind readers dream, and we are a little short on mind readers at the moment. Say we make a bet that A is going to happen, and you agree to the bet.... but then I add "on a Thursday after 10pm" and you say "ugh, rules".... I'm not hearing "I'm out".
Let your conscience be your guide.....
