2008 STR Weight-Loss Challenge (official thread)

ODB - you'll get a pm shortly from me...Once the house is done and we're moved in (early next week), i'll be around more. I'm tired and every muscle in my body is sore. We've completely gutted and redone our whole house. (in 1 week).All sweat equity - that should count for some calore burning . Goodluck to everyone!

 

Weigh in: 214 lbs. @ 5' 11"

My goal is to get down to 180 lbs.

 

Happy New Year, everyone.

Just back from vacay, and WOW there's been a lot of action on the thread. Bear with me as I try to get caught up.

Awesome to see several new participants, including some more who i will include in the cash contest cuz they e-mailed me before Jan. 1.

As far as weigh-ins go, either post on the thread or PM your starting weight. I will post them next to your name on the first post of the thread, which i've been updating as new participants have hopped on board.

Oh, and the overall contest may get VERY interesting thanks to a new donation. Stay tuned, all.

 

Ohhhhh the suspense! hehe


Hey thanks again ODB for keeping track of this all!!!

 

If any of you competitors need someone to ride with during the week, I usually head out around 9-10am every morning. Just PM me the day before and I'll let you know what I think I'm going to ride.

 

Justin is right - just ride all the time and minimize the carb intake and the pounds will disappear!

I lost 45 lbs 205 to 165 by just riding alot and being modestly careful about what I eat. Lots of exercise is KEY!

I'm rooting everyone on here!!!!
