Info: - Start Date: Opening weigh-in week will be Monday, January 17th through Sunday, January 23rd (although late sign-ups are still welcome and encouraged, and late arrivals have been winners in previous editions of TMBBL) - The competition will run 16 full weeks following Opening Week from January 24th through May 9th, which begins the final weigh-in week - End Date: Final weigh-ins will be due the week of Monday, May 9th through Sunday, May 15th - Contest is 16 weeks long to encourage healthy habits and weight loss, please see rules regarding drastic weight loss on a week-to-week basis (this is discouraged because of past contests won by extreme fasting/water weight manipulation) - $25 entry fee, will message Venmo information after you sign up *please make sure to send all venmo payments privately* - Results are determined by body weight % dropped (initial weigh-in minus final weigh-in divided by initial weigh-in) - Weekly results will be posted every Monday morning Rules: -For the initial weigh-in, post a picture of your scale with username and date somewhere in the pic. -Take a before pic with username and date (will only need to post if you place). The pic helps verify the weight loss and will help give you an idea of how much weight you've lost. -You must weigh-in each week (no photo required, simply a post with your weight some time between Monday and Sunday of each full week in the contest). -If you miss three consecutive weigh-ins, you will be disqualified. -Final weigh-in should include scale with username and date. -If you win, you should post an after pic with username and date alongside your before pic. - After the first week of weigh-ins following the initial weigh-in, if you post multiple weeks with double digit losses or post a loss greater than 10 lbs in the final week you will be disqualified. This is set up to encourage people to find healthy, long-term ways to improve their wellness and discourage extreme measures like fasting and dehydration. Winners: 1st place: ~70% of total pot 2nd place: ~20% of total pot 3rd place: ~5% of total pot Little Guy: ~5% of total pot -Little Guy (assuming more than one small guy signs up): for start weights 215 and under -Little Guy cannot both place and win Little Guy. If Little Guy gets 1st or 2nd, then the Little Guy award will go to the second place Little Guy. If the Little Guy gets 3rd, Little Guy will take the Little Guy award and the fourth place person will get the third place award. -If not enough folks sign up so that 3rd place and Little Guy win something, percentages/amounts will be shifted. This will occur at the beginning of the competition, and I will both edit this post and post a comment so everyone is aware. All health-related discussion is welcome, including from folks who aren’t participating in the competition. Our goal is to create a healthier TMB.
I tagged everyone in OP who has expressed interest in the old thread. Tag anyone you think may be interested and if you confirm interest I will begin sending out payment info PMs.
How much was it, I can send it to you. I think I used it to pay some entries in the next comp for guys that wanted to join but were saying they were tight
nah I don’t want it. Just curious. Was hoping to join this one but I’ve already started my journey with the family. By the time this one starts

Everyone that's participated since 2020 is tagged. Let us know if you're interested in the 2022 version
It’s been a minute since I weighed myself. The biggest thing holding me back from entering is the possibility of seeing I weigh more now than I did at the start of last years comp. lol
Projected pot is up to $600 right now Would like to have another $1000 pot edition of the game like 2020.
Payment info is out via PM Nizz you have your setting set up where I can't PM you directly, but you should have my venmo from an old comp.
God damn it I have to buy a new scale. I thought the batteries were dead but fresh batteries aren’t doing anything. Connected scale here I come.
too embarrassed by what I'm up to now to do this publicly. i'll follow along myself and hope to use this thread as inspiration. good luck to all contestants, though.
I’m going to log a 350+ start I’m pretty sure. This is a good group. You can join in here and feel safe.
I've started one of these contests over 400 lbs, you're probably not among the biggest guys doing this. This is a supportive group.
I'm in, got another kid coming in 8 months. Need to get down and into good habits before they get here.
Doing this in 2020 helped me drop 65 or so lbs and kept 50 of those off. No shame in this thread playa
