The ChiefsPlanet BIGGEST LOSER weight loss Challenge... FREE TRIP TO KC

[TinyEvel]

CONRATULATIONS MANILA-CHIEF and everyone who participated. KEEP IT GOING!!!!


I'm a strong believer in the power of the internet as a social system, and I'm putting it to the test right here.

I'm sponsoring a weight loss contest, to be held from January 1st to June 30th.

GRAND PRIZE: The person who loses the highest percentage of their body weight will win one round trip ticket on SouthWest airlines to Kansas City for a game in the 2009 season. I will also give you $100 spending money to buy a ticket to the game or whatever else you want for the weekend. If you live in KC I will give you $150 instead of the plane fare. Or, I will fly someone else into town for you ( in addition to the $100 spending money).

SECOND PRIZE: $1 per pound lost! (or $51, whichever is greater)

THIRD PRIZE: $50 cash (donated by BigRedChief -- thanks!)

FOURTH PRIZE: DVD of "The Complete History of the Kansas City Chiefs" and your Jersey of choice from jersey101.com (donated by Mr. Flopnuts -- THANKS!)

WHY?

I have been on here previously with failed "non-drinking" threads, so I am about to really make a commitment to my health.

I turn 40 in '09, I'm 30 Lbs overweight and I plan to lose it by April. I want motivation from my fellow Planeteers and I want to motivate anyone who might want to make a lifestyle change as well, and also make it interesting for us who participate. I plan to lose 12 percent of my body weight (230 Lbs to 200 lbs) in six months. If you can get focused and beat me, and come out on top, I'll see you at Nzoner's bash, or you can go to a game on me, etc.

This is intended to establish a network of supportive people helping each other make a positive change and stay focused and GET OUT OF THAT RUT!

Seriously, GoChiefs inspired me, he is no longer looking like Shrek and he lost something like 50 lbs.

VERIFICATION: Since I will potentially be giving upwards of $500 to the winner, there's a lot at stake. So you will need to document your weight via video or camera phone, etc. video yourself on a scale in front of a mirror, with that current day's newspaper. on December 31 or January 1. and email Mpeg or Wav to me, or post on host site with link.

I will send you the same of me, so we're all even.
I promise I will not post nor forward any images nor video for any reason, ever.

Contest is limited to CP users who have 250+ posts and have been a member since at least June 2008.

If you are serious and would like to participate, post here and also PM me so we can work out the details of your verification.

I'd like to keep this thread going as a support system for the contestants to post their progress (I would like to do monthly weigh-ins) and SUPPORT each other in making a shift in their lives.

I am completely sincere and serious about this. Please don't post here if you are a jackass or wise-cracker. I really believe in the goodness of this forum, so it will be really great to see what we can do together starting January 1st.

Think about it.

* = weight is unverified/not going for prizes

I will send out specific weight verification via PM on December 27th. You have to email your verification to me between 6am PST on December 31st and midnight PST January 1st. This thread will be our update and support thread.

[Hammock Parties]

Seriously, GoChiefs inspired me, he is no longer looking like Shrek and he lost something like 50 lbs.80. Probably 90, now.

[kstater]

Good luck Tiny E.

Can I borrow that 30 lbs you want to get rid of?

[Buck]

I could probably win this easy.

I'm in.

EDIT: What I mean by that is that it wont be easy just to lose the weight, but I could probably shed a lot more weight than anybody else.

[Phobia]

Very cool contest. I might join just for the free tickets to KC.

[Bugeater]

I promise I will not post nor forward any images nor video for any reason, ever.
Well that ruins the entertainment value for the rest of us. :cuss:

[Buck]

I have a question, is this for any Chiefs game, or just the Bash?

[Baby Lee]

You need start sooner, or someone is gonna bust a gut porking up over the next couple of weeks.

[crazycoffey]

my pants are starting to feel really tight, it is so uncomfortable, I haven't worked out in three or four months at all - if I needed to take a PT test in the very near future, it would be UGLY!

I just weighed myself yesterday, because I was curious how much I had gained. I weighed in at 231. SERIOUSLY? 231????? WTF??? My weight (according to BMI, or whatever it's called) is supposed to be 189. I was just 205 over the summer, feeling good, comfortable in my swimsuit, still knocking out 90-100 pushups in under 2 minutes. but Last night I barely did 35 pushups in two minutes.

when you lose it you lose it fast (not the weight either)
count me in. PM on the way. Great idea, BTW.

[TinyEvel]

I have a question, is this for any Chiefs game, or just the Bash?

I would prefer the bash, since it is a very social event and I will be there. But the winner has their pick of game.

And, I do think you'd have a great chance at it, but you'd have to really be focused, bro. Six months is a long time.

Uh, I'm gonna have to charge you an extra gas surcharge for the trip.

The extra drag is really going to effect my MPG.

:D

[Hammock Parties]

I'm in, but I weigh 219 pounds (as of 30 seconds ago). I doubt there's any chance I win.

[crazycoffey]

I wonder what driving with a pen sticking out the side of your neck will do to your MPG?

[OnTheWarpath15]

I wonder what driving with a pen sticking out the side of your neck will do to your MPG?

ROFL

You may have to bring your own, there never seems to be one in the center console when I need one...

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'm in, but I weigh 219 pounds (as of 30 seconds ago). I doubt there's any chance I win.

Holy shit, dude.

You were over 300 (or damn close) when you started, weren't you?

Mighty impressive.

Congrats.

[Skip Towne]

I could win this easily just by getting circumcised.

[TinyEvel]

I'm in, but I weigh 219 pounds (as of 30 seconds ago). I doubt there's any chance I win.

OMG. I weigh more than GoChiefs.

I might have to add some kind of prize or make you the grand marshall of the \awards ceremony or something.

[El Jefe]

OMG. I weigh more than GoChiefs.

I might have to add some kind of prize or make you the grand marshall of the \awards ceremony or something.

I'm in.

[Hammock Parties]

OMG. I weigh more than GoChiefs.

Fatty. :D

[Simply Red]

Not that it really matters and not that it really means much toward the thread header. But, I've managed to stay sober almost three months. Not a one drink. Everything has improved.

[crazycoffey]

OMG. I weigh more than GoChiefs.

I might have to add some kind of prize or make you the grand marshall of the \awards ceremony or something.


how tall are you?

[Simply Red]

side-note: Also, it's amazing the weight you lose not drinking. I was 223 @ divorce time. I'm now 198 lbs. FWIW.. :)

[Rausch]

OMG. I weigh more than GoChiefs.

I might have to add some kind of prize or make you the grand marshall of the \awards ceremony or something.

Yeah, a regular fat tub of $3it you are.

And for $500 I might look like Christian Bale from the Machinist but I'll win this fo' shizzle...

[Donger]

OMG. I weigh more than GoChiefs.

I might have to add some kind of prize or make you the grand marshall of the \awards ceremony or something.

Did you stop riding?

[kaplin42]

This sounds like fun. I'm in.

[damaticous]

about 6 years ago I made the commitment to loose weight. I got on the atkins diet and excersised my butt off. I lost 50 pounds in 6 month and another 25 pounds in the last 6 months. 75 pounds total lost in 1 year. It was pretty cool, but I ended up too thin. I shouldn't have just stayed at the 50 pound loss.

Anyway, I kept the weight off for 3 years, but now I'm about 10 pounds shy of my original weight. I've been working long (up to 27 hours with only 2 30 minutes breaks) hours, holidays, etc etc, But I made a bet with my friend kind of along the same lines. We are both hoping to drop about 25 pounds by April 1st.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with this. I don't want to compete with this as I have done it before and believe I can do it again...and will do it again, so I wouldn't want to take your money.

What you are doing is pretty cool though. Good luck to you all.

[Pitt Gorilla]

The scale at the gym is gone, so I'm not sure what I weight now. I had lost around 30 pounds, but I'm sure I've gained back 10 of it. I'm in, but I need to establish my status quo.

[Rain Man]

I'm in, as long as I can get a certification that you aren't just getting "before" photos for some "don't be a lazy chubby guy" ad campaign.

[Donger]

Land of the Fat Free Planet.

[Rain Man]

Oh, and I hereby certify that I have more than 250 posts, and have been a member since before June of 2008.

[BigVE]

I'm in I think...I have to get a scale that goes higher than what I have now. Not good. :(

[DaneMcCloud]

Did you stop riding?

Ridin' dirty?

[JuicesFlowing]

Thank God you spelled LOSER right, instead of looser. (i.e. "who is loosing weight?") Yes, the Grammar Nazi chimes in.

[DaneMcCloud]

Good luck to all of you that are participating!

[CoMoChief]

80. Probably 90, now.

You still look like the dancing guy dancing to Britney Spears on my previous thread. LMAO

[BigRedChief]

What if we are already in KC?

Tickets to cali?

[Hammock Parties]

You still look like the dancing guy dancing to Britney Spears on my previous thread. LMAO

No, I don't.

[TinyEvel]

What if we are already in KC?

Tickets to cali?

Well, I said $150 cash, or fly a friend in, but if you want one ticket from KC to Cali, I'd do that.

[Carlota69]

I'm in. PM me.

[BigRedChief]

I just weighed myself yesterday, because I was curious how much I had gained. I weighed in at 231. SERIOUSLY? 231????? WTF???
I've not weighed 231 lbs since 5th grade.:)

[crazycoffey]

I've not weighed 231 lbs since 5th grade.:)



LOL ROFL

[Carlota69]

Well, I said $150 cash, or fly a friend in, but if you want one ticket from KC to Cali, I'd do that.Or if you choose to do a Vegas getaway for those who live in KC, I could help you with show tickets/concert tix

[Hammock Parties]

If I win, Vegas might be just what I need. :)

[BigRedChief]

I could probably win this easy.

I'm in.

EDIT: What I mean by that is that it wont be easy just to lose the weight, but I could probably shed a lot more weight than anybody else.
side bet? I'm going to have to win this to make sure that your charger lovin butt stays in cali.:)

I'm in.

[Sully]

I'm in...no question.

[BigRedChief]

Or if you choose to do a Vegas getaway for those who live in KC, I could help you with show tickets/concert tix
I like the Vegas idea for us locals.

[Donger]

Ridin' dirty?

I thought Tiny was the one who rode road bicycles for exercise. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

[DaneMcCloud]

I thought Tiny was the one who rode road bicycles for exercise. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

I was just kidding.

You're correct.

[Buck]

I'm in.

See the fat guy in the beginning of the video, thats me.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B0JgkvZ23J4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B0JgkvZ23J4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I think I got this.

[Donger]

I was just kidding.

You're correct.

Oh. I just realized that I didn't contact you. I was in SoCal a few weeks ago and forgot.

[rageeumr]

Dammit. Bad timing. A year and a half ago I decided I didn't like the way I looked and dropped 60 pounds in about 9 months. That doesn't sound like a ton, but I went from 215 to 155, so that's what.... around 25%? I've put 5 of it or so back on, but I've been lifting 3-4 days a week, so I think a little bit of it's muscle.

[Sully]

See the fat guy in the beginning of the video, thats me.

Nope

[teedubya]

Right on. Im on a mission right now, anyway. A free trip to KC from Lees Summit would be Awesome!

How about if you live in KC, you get a free ticket to San Diego for the game out there?

[Hammock Parties]

Probably most of it. How tall are you? I'm 5-11 and shooting for 180.

[Rain Man]

If I get liposuction, does that count?

[RippedmyFlesh]

Contest is limited to CP users who have 250+ posts and have been a member since at least June 2008.

Since i can't win a prize can I play like an amateur golfer in the masters? and just not be able to cash in?
even if i won i would prob gain back so much from July to December that i would be able to compete in the "2nd Annual....

[rageeumr]

Probably most of it. How tall are you? I'm 5-11 and shooting for 180.

6'-2". I could be classified as "scrawny".

[Sully]

I have a good chance at winning this thing.

The hard part is this...
I plan to quit smoking at the beginning of January, as well.
And I start student teaching then, as well.

But eff it...I got this thing.

[The Franchise]

I actually need to lose the weight for my best friend's wedding in April......plus I've been getting really out of shape in the last 6 months. I think I weigh about 215-220 right now. So yeah....I'm in.

[Fairplay]

tinyevel just gets into videos of fat guys. :D

[DaneMcCloud]

Oh. I just realized that I didn't contact you. I was in SoCal a few weeks ago and forgot.

ROFL

I saw that you posted from here but wasn't going to pry.

Drop me a line if you have time next time.

[Boise_Chief]

I was in until fairplay had to give me the mental image of tinyE in a star spangled cape spanking it to the videos. Thanks Big guy I'm going to go drink that away.

I've been "enjoying life' to pad my stats a bit. In spits of that, I haven't gained an extra pound since giving in until the January gun goes off

[BigRedChief]

How old are you?


Time was once my best friend. Now it's my mortal enemy.

I weighed about 170 until I hit 40. Now? I'm hoping 210, but I haven't weighed myself in a while. It's too depressing.

[Fairplay]

How old are you?



36

[KC Jones]

I'm in. This is a great idea Tiny - thanks for putting it together and making the commitment. I've lost ~50lbs in the last 1.5 years so I'm not sure I've got enough left to lose for the win, but I really want to get another 30+ off. If I can get from 305 to 220-225 I will be a happy and svelte man.

[BigMeatballDave]

80. Probably 90, now.Wow. Well done. What was your motivation?

I'm not sure you're $100 spending cash will cover that fetish.

[UteChief]

Hey, I'm in but wouldn't it make more sense to do it by % for the winner rather than just lbs? Doing it by lbs gives heavier people a big advantage. I'm 6-2 and around 220. I'd love to see what 185 feels like again.

[Fat Elvis]

I'll give it a go.

[luv]

I'm in. Even though $1 per pound lost is worth more to me than paying my way to the bash. If I win, then you can do that for second place, and I'll take the cash.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Awesome contest man, would love to participate but those damn rules haha I started working at a Fitness Center over a year ago and got serious about losing weight and went from 260 that I had put on for football down to 220. After leaving that job and going back to school and being around my friends that always eat out and drink i have went back up to 235...I'm shooting for 190 by this time next year. Good luck to everyone that participates in this

I'm in. Even though $1 per pound lost is worth more to me than paying my way to the bash. If I win, then you can do that for second place, and I'll take the cash.

So I'm soliciting donations of fitness items or other valuable gifts/credits/gift cards to give to places 3 through 5 (or more) please PM me if you'd like to offer something of value that is not heavy (shipping)

While I may be "fatter than GoChiefs," I do take considerable solace in the fact that I live on my own... in a house a block from the Atlantic Ocean... that I pay for... from a job I love... with my wife... with whom I have sex regularly. All of those things puts me light years ahead of GoChiefs.

So I'm fat. At least I'm not GoChiefs.

[Third Eye]

I have another 20-25 pounds I'm trying to lose. I changed my diet in June and started working out hard in September and have lost close to 50 lbs. I've hit a bit of a plateau as far as my weight, but I continue to get slimmer. The muscle I'm gaining is keeping my weight from dropping. I'm stuck right at 250. I graduated high school ('95) in damn good shape at around 230 and I'd like to get there again.

If you can get focused and beat me, and come out on top, I'll see you at Nzoner's bash, or you can go to a game on me, etc.

[DaneMcCloud]

I'm going for 25%. Is that possible in five months?

I think it depends on how much you weigh.

Healthy weight loss is between one to two pounds a week. If you can consistently lose at that rate, you'll keep the weigh off long term. You may lose a little more than that at the beginning (especially if you're carrying a lot of water weight) but that should be your target.

Avoid salt, stick to organics, avoid red meat and exercise. It should come off quickly. Even if your exercise consists of walking a mile a day. If you drink beer, switch to the the 64 calorie beer or better yet, stop. Switch to vodka tonic/soda. Either way, it is extremely difficult to lose weight if you continue to drink because alcohol slows down your metabolism, making it even more difficult to burn fat.

Weigh yourself once a week (and no more) for motivation.

Good luck!

[KC Jones]

So what method are you people using to shed the pounds?

I have pretty much been using my own interpretation of "Body For Life" for a while now. Thus far it's helped get off 50lbs in a little over a year, but I haven't been very strict. At times when I am hardcore I can drop more than 5 lbs in a week. Essentially this program involves 3 weight resistance workouts (geared towards adding bulk) with 3 cardio workouts a week. For food it has six small meals a day that are essentially low fat, high protein, moderate amount of complex carbs and an eye on getting enough veggies/fiber. It provides for one 'free day' each week where you can eat whatever you want and you don't workout.

As for my changes to the regular plan they are as follows: I stopped doing the interval cardio training and instead just do long cardio workouts (anywhere from 45 minutes to an 1.5 hours). Since I have knee and back problems I rarely jog and prefer ellipticals or bikes. I primarily started the cardio change as training for climbing mountains last summer. I skip the expensive EAS products and instead go with balance 'bare' bars and muscle milk for meal replacements. Although I am routinely eating crap a meal here or there that is off plan since I haven't been very hardcore for a long time now. Usually it's dinner with my family that is higher in carbs and fat than what I should be having. I rarely do a binging free day though.

I think the only problem with this plan for this type of contest is the aim of adding muscle bulk. The additional muscle will help you burn more calories during cardio workouts and keep your metabolism fired up. I suspect you could drop the weight lifting towards then end to help get your weight down, but frankly I care more about being tone and seeing my abs than the number on the scale.

Good luck all!

[Mr. Flopnuts]

E, I could never match what you're doing here. But I'll chip in a prize. Somebody will win a brand new, factory sealed copy of The Complete History of the Kansas City Chiefs. I just bought it today so it's in hand and ready for someone to claim. Thanks again for doing this, and good luck to everyone trying to better their life.

I'm honestly expecting to win this. I lost 115 pounds this year and it was all in the first six months of the year. I weighed 440, now I weigh 330. I was down to 325 in July but have put 5 back on in the last couple of weeks. I expect to be at an absolute maximum of 250 by June 1. That will be over 20% of body weight lost. I genuinely hope somebody beats me. If I can be of any assistance to anyone shoot me a smoke. I'll keep it private and refer you to whatever resources I'm aware of that can help you. If I can't help you I'll send you to another member of this board who helped me immensely last year, provided they don't mind.

I will adjust accordingly. Second place will get at least $51.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Do you weigh 450 Lbs?

I did in January. Today I weigh around 330. On July 1st I weighed 325. I honestly think I can drop almost 100lbs between January and June. I don't know, it won't come off as fast as it did when I weighed that much. But I do know how to take it off quickly, and healthily.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I am also going to go 100 days without marijuana.

I smoked pot the entire time I was losing weight. The fact that I didn't give in to the munchies was IMO as big of an accomplishment as losing the weight itself. I'm actually thinking it's time for another hiatus though just for some reflection, so I think I'll go January to June not smoking this time as well. I've heard that running is so much easier if you don't smoke pot. A pack and a half of cigarettes everyday makes it hard enough.

[Rain Man]

I will adjust accordingly. Second place will get at least $51.

Oh. OK, I'm out.

[L.A. Chieffan]

you can always be thinner... look better.

[sedated]

I've heard that running is so much easier if you don't smoke pot.

not in my experience.

I've been running for a few years now, and it has never gotten more or less difficult when I've had to quit smoking for a while.

January 1 to June 1 is five months and one day, not six months. We need some clarification there as well.

Yeah. Six months would be 1/1 to 6/30.

[TinyEvel]

OKay, you're right. I was just wondering how long people could keep up with a plan, but if the idea is t make a permanent shift, them JUNE 30 is the final day.

[stevieray]

major kudos to those trying...and to TE for coming up with the idea..I might go the other way and work out..see how much I can grow in six months..

Good luck to those involved, diet is as important as exercise, if not more.

[Bowser]

I'll get in on this. If by some miracle I win, I'll gladly donate proceeds to an out of town Planeteer.



Oh. OK, I'm out.


All seriousness, I'll give this a go. My statement about donating trip to an out of towner is still good, if that is OK with Tiny.

That's what I intend to do. If he flies someone in, but still gives me the $100, that $100 will get me to KC and home.

A proper diet will take care of 80% of your weight loss.

[KChiefsQT]

I'm going for 20% loss, so my chances of winning are shot.. but I'll still compete for the hell of it. The first couple weeks of getting into, or back into a workout routine suck. After that, it's a piece of cake.. .so it'll be cool to be able to support and get support from others especially in the beginning.

My best advice is not to look at this as a diet, because it's not a diet, it's not a short term plan, you have to make an entire lifestyle change.

This should be exciting!!! Good luck to everyone.

Happy Holidays!!

[Mr. Flopnuts]

E, I could never match what you're doing here. But I'll chip in a prize. Somebody will win a brand new, factory sealed copy of The Complete History of the Kansas City Chiefs. I just bought it today so it's in hand and ready for someone to claim. Thanks again for doing this, and good luck to everyone trying to better their life.

I'm honestly expecting to win this. I lost 115 pounds this year and it was all in the first six months of the year. I weighed 440, now I weigh 330. I was down to 325 in July but have put 5 back on in the last couple of weeks. I expect to be at an absolute maximum of 250 by June 1. That will be over 20% of body weight lost. I genuinely hope somebody beats me. If I can be of any assistance to anyone shoot me a smoke. I'll keep it private and refer you to whatever resources I'm aware of that can help you. If I can't help you I'll send you to another member of this board who helped me immensely last year, provided they don't mind.


YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This never got tossed in. I'm not sure if it was skimmed over, or if you guys just thought I was a cheap fuck. :D In any case, I'm also going to include a football jersey of choice from jersey101.com with this. So, 4th place, or whatever place E wants to do it will get the DVD and a jersey.

Good idea. Whoever gets it will need the new jersey for their new size.

A new one will/would be nice but I still have a couple in my OLD size that will seem like they are new since I haven't worn them in a while.

You people are hosed. My Christmas booty includes:

1. A weight scale that measures body fat.
2. An Ipod
3. One of those little shoe chips that goes in the Ipod to measure your exercise.
4. Three big chocolate bars.

Well, never mind the chocolate bars. The other stuff is the key.

Well, I got the DOPEST pair of New Balance sneakers, so FACE!

Though, they are not true new New Balance sneakers. They are kinda old-skool ones that you only wear to, like, $100-per-person dinners at West Hollywood hipster eateries that the production company is paying for.
They're not even good for running in. They're kinda flat in the arches. BUT THEY GO BEST WITH SKINNY JEANS AND I'M GONNA GET SKINNY TO WEAR THOSE SKINNY JEANS WITH THESE SHOES SO THERE!!!!!
NTTAWT!

[Over-Head]

Al ya need is a high carb, low starch diet. (for me anyway)
I shed 12 lbs with very little effort and I can gain weight looking at choc cake.

Drink about 10oz's of ice water before EVERY meal, to load up your gut, and you'll think our fuller after a meal :thumb:

20% of what? You weigh like maybe 120 lbs.....130 at the most.
100-105 is way too skinny.

Man, that sounds like me. TIme for walking not stop, hopefully building up some strength in my back out for a little more intense workout, and eat 800-1000 calories per day. I've found that's about the only way I can ever lose anything.

[The Franchise]

This is going to suck. I'm going to have to give up my energy drinks. Oh well. I'm thinking about buying some Kettle balls to help out. I know that muscle weighs more than fat but at this point.....the 20-25% of weight that I'm going to lose isn't going to win me the big prize.

Generally carbs and starches are synonymous but whatever works for ya. I'm doing the opposite with the high protein lower carb (not zero carbs). This has always worked for me. I say lower carb because carbs equals energy and my days usually start at 5 a.m. so I need some energy for sure. I'm just going to be careful not to take in any carbs later in the day or evenings, no sugars at all. I have done this before with great success. Just got back from joining the gym, bought the new scale a couple of days ago. It's on.

[teedubya]

I have a big social media presentation that I'm giving for UMKC Bloch School on Business in late March, so I need to shed some pounds so that I'm in a better shape than round.

Welcome to the FATTER THAN GOCHIEFS club.

Now that you are in shape do you remember what it was like to be made fun of and try to not say hurtful things to fat people. Or do you feel like you are better than them and look at them as weak and deserving of it?

[KChiefsQT]

20% of what? You weigh like maybe 120 lbs.....130 at the most.

I weight 145, 116 is ideal.

Negative reinforcement is the best motivation. It was for me.

I don't say it to be hurtful. You won't EVER see me poke fun at someone's weight in a thread not related to weight-loss.

Cool just wondering. I have never had that problem but have never understood people that have the need to make fun of people with a weight problem. It seems to be looked at as acceptable by many.

It's the internet. People will take any flaw and magnify it.

[KChiefsQT]

Just don't go overboard. Weighing too little can be as unhealthy as weighing too much. Seriously.

I won't. I was a fit 120 last year.. it's easy to slip out of it and put on the lbs. (especially when no gym activity is involved). It's gonna be hard to get back in a routine.

well negative motivation is fine... but the positive motivation of knowing that Ill be in front of a couple hundred of KC's finest business executives, is enough motivation to get in shape.

I just moved into a new place so I cant find the fucking scale.

I am somewhere in between 280 and 300 I think.

I've probably gained a couple extra pounds over the last couple days.

Cant wait to see how much I actually weigh.

P.S. If any of you girls in So Cal want to 'workout' together, we can set something up and both benefit....wink wink.

[Buck]

Okay, just weighed in at 288, fully clothed. Probably more like 285 nekkid.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Anyway i can get in this comp? I'm a n00b and was a lurker for years before I finally started posting, but i need to lose some weight again and would like to have a support system and some competition to keep me honest...if not thats cool figured it was worth a shot.

That's how much I weighed when I saw the doctor on Dec. 1, 2006, the day after the scary bus accident I was in. By taking off a a pound or three a week for about 15 or 16 months, I've been blessed to get down to under 200. I've been able to maintain that weight by being careful with the sweets and still jogging a lot.

You just have to make sure you burn more calories than you take in. If you take in 500 fewer calories a day than you burn, on average, that adds up to 50 pounds of lost body weight in a year.
