Weight Loss Challenge. I want YOU! (fat ass)

[The Absurdist]

Here's the deal. I'm a 32 year old, former athlete, former fitness enthusiast, former runner and gym-rat, who has absolutely let myself go to pot. I glanced in the mirror this morning after stepping out of the shower and something just snapped, I will not take one more day of looking, feeling and living like a fat slob. I am appalled by my appearance and some immediate and permanent changes are going to take place. I don't even know what I weigh right now, but I would guess around 250 lbs or so. I'm 6'1" with a decent amount of residual muscle under this mountain of flab. Anyways, is there anyone else on this forum who is also fed up with the way they are living and who wants to join/challenge me to a fat-killing duel? The stakes are unimportant, anything reasonable is fine. Let me know if you are interested and we'll set something up. Pictures, numbers, graphs, pie-charts, whatever, I don't give a flip. Let's do it.

Mmmmmmm, pie charts.

Age 40, 5'10" 230 - I'd also like to drop 50 lbs. What kind of time frame are we talking?

I would join in. But I've just done this (obv brag). I went from 255 to 200 so far this year. I posted about it (w/ pics) in the H&F forum: H&F thread. I also made a thread awhile ago in OOT when I was at 225, but the picture links from it are now broken: OOT thread.

I had a similar moment around Christmas of 2006. I was just tired of it. And I finally just turned things around and became more health conscious. I'm going to lose around 20 more, but things are a little slower going for me these days. While I dropped 25 lbs in the first 35 days, I expect the next 20 to take, probably, 4 more months. That's okay though, no rush.

Good luck to all of you, I hope this goes down. It's WELLLLL worth it when you drop a significant amount of weight. I feel 1000000x better than I used to.

Whatever people are comfortable with. New Years, Kwaanza, Halloween, Thanksgiving, whatever. I think it should be a minimum of two months, so that we can realize some significant results. My pick would be Thanksgiving or New Years, but again, I'm flexible. What do others think? And, seriously, let's get this mofo going STAT.

LOL, at Mmmmmm, Pie Charts. Classic.

Good luck to you guys. I went from 297 to 184 since last june. I have 7 more to go and then its sweet maintenance. Just remember when you eat is huge...carbs early,spaced out small meals and workout so when you get there your not skinny fat
