I won a $100 bet, but my buddy still got the best of me.

My friend and I were in a biggest loser contest and we bet $100 against each other outside the contest for a little extra motivation. The final weigh in is Sunday April 1st but my friend came by tonight to concede. He paid me $100 exactly in the form on 10,000 pennies.

In case anyone is wondering 10,000 UNROLLED pennies weigh just shy of 60 lbs.

Hahahahaha I paid a $120 traffic ticket in pennies! A car passing me was speeding and I got the ticket. Cop would not hear it that the car passing me was the one he clocked. So I got what little satisfaction I could out of it. On the downside I had to wait over an hour while they counted the pennies.

That's hilarious you had to wait for them to count it!

OP that's one crafty friend you have, lol.

Oh man, that is great! At least it was nicely organized and just a big bag of loose pennies!

How does that 60 pounds of pennies compare to what you lost???

Frid · 03-31-2012, 01:14 AM

We were doing weekly weigh ins and I was ahead when I and most others stopped weighing in three weeks ago.
I was at 11.89% and everyone else was at
0.91%
2.07%
2.16%
3.90%
4.37%
8.12%
9.05% This guy is the closest to me and he actually weighed in last week so I think I might be in the clear. But just to be safe I am going to dehydrate myself tomorrow to give an extra edge and win the whole thing.

I started at 227.6 lbs and lost 30 lbs over about 2 months (I kind of took February off and didn't lose any weight). So I am currently at 13.18%. I'm hoping to get down to about 189 lbs Sunday For a grand total of 16.95% loss.

OP, you need to change your name now to SUX2BME

congrats on the weight loss too. I need to get out and start running soon.

ctinatx · 03-31-2012, 09:25 AM

Sux, I bet this weight reduction was really for faster track times. Good job too.

It's amazing what missing a little word like "not" changes the whole meaning of my post! It was SUPPOSED to say "and NOT just a big bag of loose pennies"!
