Again.... Congrats to all who join in on this years WLC, we got Healthier and had fun along the way. A special Thanks to Dino for all the reminders you sent, it really kept me going!!!

 

Awesome job!

 

Thanks Dino & Jeff for all your time and effort you guy put into this!! :clap::bang:
Good job Stu and Steve you guys kicked butt. I Kinda wish I placed a lil higher and I still a fat F@&K, but I'm still happy with the weight that i did lose. I just plan on doing what i have been doing and drop another 45 by the end of the year.

 

Thank You Jeff & Dino for your time and effort and congrats to fatguy1.
Losing weight was the ultimate goal, but meeting great people was even better.
Thanks STR.

 

Wow, congrats NotSoFatguy1!

...are you going to have to detail your own car now?

 

Thanks soooo much to JeffD and Dino for putting this on again. YAY to fatguy for the win!!!! And woohoo for not being able to do math (I thought I was at -17ish, didn't realize 18 lbs on the dot)!!! So excited to make the top 10, esp after a set-back week in the middle! I plan to start a thread (or whoever wants to start one) on August 1st that we can all check-in every month to see how we are all doing.

 

Thank you Jeff, Dino, and all competitors for pushing me to get down to race weight!...Yamaha R6 or TZ250???, Ducati 848 or SUZUKI GSXR750... that is what race weight is for, LOL!

 

Hey, I wasn't last! Not enough motivation and too much work this year (read: not enough riding time). Hopefully I don't stall like I did after last year's WLC, and just keep losing, if slowly.

Congrats to the winners. Yeah, the best prize is the good feeling. Having been at 300+ a few years ago, I know how good it feels to be in better shape. If you told me three years ago that I would attempt a MTB race, or climb Blackstar, I'd have thought you were crazy.

And I love the idea of keeping it going! It's way too easy to put it back on (I'm heavier now than I was at the end of last year's WLC). Keep it up everybody!

 

Even though I only lost a few pounds, I did lose several pant sizes. My belt is now on it's last hole. My pants are getting too big, and went looking for swim trunks, and was able to stay away from the XXL section. I love food!! And I also love to ride. I will continue my weight loss, and try to get back to my fighting weight. Apparently, Dino needs my security skills, and intimidation to protect him when he gets his new bike. :bang:

 

Congtats to all the WLC competitors.

 

Wow, I look at the results and I see how much work and efforts went into making this event happen... Jeff I understand you did a lot of work behind the event with your magical spreadsheet. Come see me I have a special gift card for you..

Stu and Steve what more can anyone say? YOU GUYS rocked it hard! Steve just seeing you change into a new person in 2 months is so Awesome! YOU'RE a true brother to me! STU... You the man.. not only have you made the friends and family of STR happy and proud but I know your family at home are very proud of you! Good job.....

As the contest went on it was fun to hear the STR crew talk about how they were eating and riding to get thin.. I know some guys even had some side bets going too... Great to see the STR family come thru with one goal in mind..

I had a blast too and have not lost 15 pound in years! I can't wait till next year but I think you need to go for 3 months! Or let's do a 2 months contest to see who can maintain what they lost??

 

Jeff & Dino, thanks you guys! This WLC totally changed my life (and my wardrobe)! And my wife thinks I look hot!

Thanks to The Path for the gift card that I won. I used the card to buy my 661 pads.

To all the prize donors - thank you for some very cool prizes to choose from!

Congrats to everyone who participated. I developed some good habits and broke some bad ones while going through this. I hope you did too. I don't know if I would've done anything differently except for maybe using chamois butter when Brownie and Chris Wiliiams took me on my first long MTB ride (27 miles). Brownie, thanks for the back and forth and text messages. You made me chase your skinny ass that much harder! (Please no jokes people. That was too easy a set up.)

My health plan was to come up with a method that I could keep up instead of "going on a diet." I allowed myself a bit of desert and was ok when I broke my rules. My cholesterol also dropped from the 250s to about 170 and hopefully it's still dropping.

My goal is to 1) never do this again 2) keep this up and drop a few more pounds of fat while adding some muscle so I don't look like an emaciated starving vegan... or Brownie. :-k
Julie, I beat Brownie! Do I still get cookies? :bang:

 

Dino & Jeff Thanks I had a blast again this year it was fun watching everyone do really good. WLC Rocks!! :beer:

Great Job to All WLC contestants now take a cheat day and get back on track and reach your goal. :clap::clap:

Also thanks to everyone who donated these great prizes!! :clap: :clap:

I am not finished yet I have a personal goal to catch still.

 

If there is enough interest, I would be more than happy to continue posting regular weigh-ins. Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly... Doesn't matter to me!!!

The plan: Continue on (like nothing has changed). Post results in the official 2012 Weight Loss thread. I will continue pm'ing reminder notices to participants. Competitors can opt-out if they no longer wish to participate. Etc. Etc. Etc. Watta ya'al think?

P.S.- The prizes are being sorted-out... Your patience is appreciated!
