Don't worry, there are no rings involved here. And yes, lots of mess to come!

So, Sunday last week was the start of something quite interesting. Details to follow..

Let's go back a few days prior, just after New Year's. The Mrs has set a goal to lose some weight over the next 6 months, at least 30lbs (or 14kg). She has struggled a little in the past for motivation, but has started exercising more and has an App to help with calorie budgeting now too. Just to help to make sure she maintains her current motivation, I asked if she'd be up for a little bet.

Here's the fun bit! Every week for 6 months.. yes, 26 weeks.. every Sunday, she will get on the scales. If she loses at least 1.5lbs (or 0.7kg), she wins. If not, I win. If she loses 3lbs, she wins with a bonus. If she doesn't manage to shed anything that week, I get the bonus win.

What does this all mean I hear you ask? Well, whoever wins gets to spend £20 at the supermarket and cover the loser with the various messy items purchased.. the same day.. in a public park.. clothed.. with a 20 min walk home.. and no spare clothes. Oh, and the bonus.. an extra £5

I'm quite excited. There are so many scenarios here, feelings, outcomes, etc. I figured there'd be folk out there interested in such a game. I appreciate this may not sit well with everyone though. If you are interested in the journey, shout up! I'm sure we will share little updates ...

I think you're going to be very messy for quite a number of weeks ...

Of course, I only posted the thread once I had a feel for how things may follow through..

We're now into week 2, which means we have a result from the first weigh-in. I can confirm that just over 3lbs were shed. I can also confirm that she spent £25 while shopping this past Sunday.

I can't yet confirm exactly what happened...

It just so happens that I've also found the time this week to clear out my wardrobe for old clothes to throw away. Old jeans, t-shirts, underwear, etc.. I feel they may have one last use, but in 6 months they shall be gone!

It might be that she ends up with a bunch of clothes to dispose of too. I can't imagine what we might do about that..

This is such a fun idea! I hope she is successful and you get destroyed!

Popped a couple of videos on my profile for the first session

In terms of what's to come...

Week 2 - the Mrs wins again with just under 2lbs shed - another £20 spent on some very sweet stuff to cover me in - and the video is far better this time with her really making a mess of me and rubbing everything in - she didn't need telling twice that you can actually use your hands and go inside the clothes (cold permitting!)

Week 3 is ready to share! She lost half a pound.. which is great, because she not only lost weight but she also lost the bet!

I had great fun messing her up as a result!! The treacle especially, but also the chocolate mousse and the various soups

Scenes will have to get new threads going forward so that they appear in the forums..

Brilliant, can't wait to see what you did to her in return

It's published! and so much more to come!
