2010 STR Weight-Loss Challenge

Hmmm...., I'm back up to 220, but got close to going below 200 while I was in the hospital last Dec/Jan, and though I lost that weight for the wrong reasons, it sure felt good seeing the scale at 201. Lemme think on this....

:-k

Damn, that would mean no more Sausage Egg McMuffins for breakfast....

Dino - You should kick it off with a ride at the beginning and then another ride at the end. I know the difference at Turnbull was amazing and made it all feel worth while.

 

Count me in. I could use to shed some poundage. Work up my bikini bod'.

The paypal idea is great too. Incentive always makes things easier to stick to. :beer:

 

I'm in for 10 bucks! With my new ride and all the positive encouragement from you people I should drop to my goal of sub 200. Last year I was gonna to do one of the races at Fontana, when I told my wife I was going to be in the clydesdale class she laughed her ass off. It's kind of been a running joke for us, well things are gonna change.:bang:

 

I think this is a great idea! I'd pay $10 to join the weight loss crowd. I really need to drop some weight, so I can climb a little faster. Count me in.

 

Aw, to hell with it. Count me in.

Dino, you should have "'Before' Ride" (meybe at Turnbull??). It'd be cool to meet the others doing this.

 

Announce the winner at a Taco Tuesday? Winner gets the cash less the cost of 4 tacos and a beer?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:




Actually, I like Laggdawg's idea of a BBQ/movie night! :clap::clap::clap:

 

$10 bucks to paypal would be great.

 

I'm in @ 208lbs I need to get down to 180lbs I'll join for fun and health.

 

I've been stuck at 200lbs for a long time and hate my current shape, so I'm in too and I'll kick down $10.

Love the idea of Wednesday Weigh-Ins. I don't get to join in on the Taco Tuesday Ride and Gorge Festivals, so that ought to work in my favor!

I also like the idea of a kick-off and completion ride.

How about two categories?
1) Most total LBs lost
and
2) Greatest percentage of starting weight lost

That ought to give a fighting chance to the 140 lb folks looking to get to 120, who are up against 240-pounders who could probably shed 20 pretty easily (with one big dose of Ex-Lax!)

 

Did you know you can watch ALL Richard Simmons workouts on YouTube for free?

 

And how do you know that??????

 

I'm in for $10 or $20, although I can't weigh in until 5/4/10, as I will be in Cancun putting on the pounds.

 

I'm in! The 2008 STR WL Challenge was soooooo motivating!!! Especially, riding together, sharing recipes, encouragements, support, etc.!!! Although this time I am determined not to miss it by 0.6lbs! #-o

Unfortunately, life got in the way after that challenge (bought a house, suffered through a super hard lab course, family stuff, blah blah blah, excuses, excuses) and I gained all the weight back and plus a bit more! Well, this last year I have been working hard on getting it off (30lbs so far) and only have 25 lbs to my ultimate goal weigh (although I'd still be pretty happy with ~15lbs)! :bang: This is the perfect opportunity to get the last bit off! FINALLY!

I'd also be in if anyone wanted to do something like a YEAR-long challenge after this one is complete, weigh-in monthly to see who can MAINTAIN (or lose if youd like to lose more) all the weight loss from this challenge! That would be AWESOME!

 

I'm DEFINITELY in, and in for the $10! I know I won't win - I have no will power or I wouldn't be in this position now. Bur willing to add to the incentive for others in getting healthy.

But...can we start earlier tho, going to Maui on May 9th, so I've kinda started now....

^Tara you look great and are an incentive to us all!! (Guys, this girl stuck to it in Sedona with Tink's Pineapple Upside Down cake - now THAT'S willpower!)

Way to go girl!

 

i'm in for 10 bucks and the start ride and the finish ride
but the ride needs to be at the same location same route and distance
so this way we can feel the difference from the 2 rides after the weight loss.

 

Great idea. I'm willing to volunteer to organize the Paypal betting pool. I'll even chip in the first $10.

If there is interest, I'm happy to help.

 

With all due respect to the infamous Dino Brown, I am actually a bit scared to post this. Correcting the Almighty Dino Brown, a MTB'er and STR member I've never met is borderline sacrilege. I'll probably be "boo'd" and maybe even banned from STR for some time.....

So here goes.... There's only thirty (30) days in June.

Sorry Dino...

Jeff

 

He's Dino Brown, if he says there's 31 then your calendar has a typo

 

Im in for this.... I lost 35lbs in 2 months and now for the last month, I am at a complete standstill. Down for the $10.
