CP Jihad: Subway contest weight loss finalist help needed!!

[Mr.Coffee]

Hey everyone... a friend of mine and the goalie from my summer hockey team sent me an e-mail today, looking for some help. He was looking for the collective internet voting power that Calgarypuck has clearly demonstrated in the past in the form of CP Jihad action!

Basically, he is the only finalist who we can confirm is a Flames fan and is the only one from Calgary (the others are from out east). He lost a lot of weight during a difficult time in his life. Check out the link below which shows his Subway sandwich pitch video ( have a small cameo in there during one of the hockey scenes!)- and to vote for Jon Karpetz!

Please and thank you everybody!

Boom! one in the bank, thanks man. Hmmm.. maybe we need to do more? Let's see... looks like he wins a bunch of cash... shall I try to convince him to donate some to CP?

seems bribery-esque to me but on the other hand money is what makes the world go 'round, no?

I voted. Anyone that can lose weight eating a subway AND chips on a regular basis is impressive.

Wow, I would have picked him even without the jihad. Voted

[pylon]

Voted, and he doesn't look like that he has AIDS like that Jarod idiot.

Good for him, and he has a pretty good butterfly style.

Voted. Looks like a daily vote thing so I can keep voting.

During my weight loss, I was treating myself to a Subway veggie sub each Monday before weigh-in. However, someone from the weight loss support group brough in someone from Health Canada who spoke on salt intake, and after that presentation I swore I would never, ever eat from Subway ever again.

My foot-long veggie sub, even without the cheese, has more sodium than what a person should have in a day. In April Subway claimed that for heart health reasons, they were cutting the salt in their bread by 15% to 30%. Great. Now a foot long ham sub won't be 2600mg of salt, but ONLY 1700. Given that we are only supposed to have 1500 in a day, there is absolutely no way that you can categorize a Subway sandwich as "healthy".

That all said, I voted for the guy.... I love hearing other weight loss success stories. The more people that stand up and say "this can be done", the more people will actually try to do it.
