Default Re: Help me win $1000 fat loss contest.

you realize how bad this bet is for you 5'10" 175 vs someone that is 6' 200-280? Right? I mean like really awful. Like even ignoring all other variables which in it of themselves are retarded...you better be getting some great [censored] odds. Do you have any idea how the body works? You going from 15 - 10 is not the same thing as them going from 25 - 20. They will slaughter you if it's highest percentage. Make it who can get down to the lowest %... then it's piece of cake (not one you can eat).

Ya I have thought about this, and its painfully obvious, however it is a motivator, and I am okay with shipping a buddy $250 if it encourages me to get in great shape. I would also venture to say that it is going to be as unfair to them if we did just a lowest overall as the big boys are obv at a disadvantage.

Why not just make the winner the person who loses the greatest % of their body fat %. So if u go from 20%-15% you beat someone who goes from 30%-25%?

That seems more fair does that make sense?
