SECOND'S ANYONE?????

Summer, a time for strapping on the thong or banana hammock and heading out to your favorite beach , pool, or neighborhood backyard barbecue party.

Well! not for this group of extra toting flesh and fat hoarders. We might be at those locations, but trust me; we are nowhere near the water, we are hanging out by the buffet table or aggressively volunteering for the important job of burger flipper.



But we are here to make a stand. To put the Twinkies back in the wrapper. Put the Bon Bon's back in the refrigerator. Men and women who are tired of getting soft belly skin caught in their zippers. Tired of sending in search parties to retrieve your own underwear. The time is now.

Initial weigh-ins are in!

Prior to the weigh-in there were some safety concerns as potential shrapnel from a over stressed scale needed to be contended with. The elderly and small children were moved outside to the safety zone for precaution. Paramedic's were on call in case of injury or disfiguring mutilations. I can gratefully state that the weigh-in was a complete success and we did not experience any injuries during the weigh-in. The pilots of the trauma helicopter were ordered back to Mount Sinai hospital as there services were no longer necessary.

Marksman 234 lbs
Marco 219 lbs

Dan 207 lbs

Brian 214 lbs

Rahim 222 lbs

Christian 226 lbs

Renee 185 lbs

Kim 203 lbs

This is a very special occasion as this is the first pool that actually has recruited women into the mix. Renee and Kim are shedding the stereotypes that women are pink wearing softies who are afraid to have men know their weight and age. Instead they are moving ahead and try to break this image along with some unwanted pounds around the body. They are going to forge ahead with their spiritual leader Cindy Lauper shown below.



The weekly updates will begin on Tuesday 6/10/08 after the weigh in. The anonymous reporter who supplies the commentary does not wish to embarrass or hurt anyone feelings. He is calling the contest with the utmost honesty and professionalism that he can muster. Please use the humor, insults and criticism as motivation to be the best that you can. But news is news and facts are facts.

It is a Doggy Dog world.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
