Count down

Being successful, (taking First place, $550 and being 38 pounds lighter) from a "Biggest Loser" contest that I started in August, I decided that it is not enough for me.

~~Some background~~
I started seeing some pictures of myself and said that's not me. I am the athletic type and I started letting myself go. So my wife and I decided to start a weight loss contest. We based it off the TV show "Biggest Loser" and went by the most percenage lost. Lemme break down the rules of it real quick. $30 buy-in, weekly weigh-ins, if you gained or stayed the same you payed $2 to the pot, payout for 1st (65%) 2nd (25%) and 3rd (10%). So I created a spreadsheet that would track everyone's weight and control how much money was in the pot. 25 people signed up, but not all followed through. So I started out at 263.5 and used the Weight Watchers approach along with some major running and finished off the contest at 225.5. Here is some pics.....


I have been going through a "gaintaining" phase since the contest ended. I started lifting weights "hard" while sticking with some of the running. Since the contest I have put on about 10 lbs.

Well the time has come to go to the cutting phase and I will be starting another contest. I have set the date for January 11 for the first weigh-in. I will also start letting everyone know about it today.

With this being said I want to create a blog to let everyone see how I will accomplish my wieght loss, and win this season too!!!!!
