    The Challenge doesn't begin until May 1st!

    Competitors won't be allowed to input weights until the DATA INPUT SPREADSHEET is opened (May 7th - May 9th)

    Dino I would be glad to help with any of the rides, just let me know. Do you have the first ride planned out yet? For those doing the Rwanda ride better weight yourself before the ride:lol:. See you on the trails.

    Speaking of the Rwanda ride, any other fatties doing it? Tom and I will be there suffering through the 25. Anyone is more than welcome to join us.

    Count me in. I need as much motivation to get back on the bike as to lose weight. I'm probably as big as I've been since I started riding.

    Also OMG!! first post in like a year!!
    edit: 8 months, but still.

    I'll remember the weight from 4-27 and enter it on 5-4 when I'm back. Wouldn't want to sandbag the contest with my planned bulking up trip to Napa.
    (Unless, somehow I lose weight in Napa)

    Too bad this wasn't sooner i'd be in. But I've already hit my goal.

    But to help you guys and gals stay on track and you really need to be honest about it but myfitnesspal.com logs calories and has a huge database of foods and app for iphone and android. even has a cool barcode scanner for scanning the stuff you ate and adding it to your daily log.

    I'm not affiliated in any way and my wife turned me onto the site and we have both lost crazy amount of weight (relative to our size). She lost her baby/pregnancy weight and is now in the the 100 teens; 36lbs of loss. Whereas I went from 187 a 5'8" now down to a more manageable 157lbs with a "Healthy" BMI index.

    It was tough, and i'm not going to lie but it can be done and you just have to be honest and be willing to work through those rough patches (which for me was around the 3 week). I've been on this for 100 days now and on a "Maintenance" diet and it's still a day of decision making...eat this bagel wich or eat fruit and yogurt. That and a good exercise regime has definitely helped.

    Good luck, if you do sign up and on find me on there under username ddao you will be able to see my food diary etc and get ideas of what i eat throughout the day.

    Alright, I'm in. Wish it had started Jan. 1, though! (Down 15lbs. since then). But, since I still haven't reached the goal (for which I set a June 1 deadline), I'll lower the goal 5lbs. and make it July 1.

    So, for the record, 215lbs. by July 1. No motivation like the risk of public shame, I say!

    Oh, and Steve C, I'll be doing the 25 on Saturday as well. Hoped to be ready for the 50 by now, but just don't feel I have it in me.

    Dino...you digging me out of the wood works? I guess I outta have someone fork lift my butt cheeks back on the saddle and try this out. I haven't decided if I want to pitch in cash but will let you know. Been busy with work, school, kids.....it never ends....sorta like packing on the pounds which never ends either.
