Big Boy Belly Blog, Take #2

Marcus, Adam, and Buzz...at it again.  We are all much heavier than the first attempt.  I wonder if we will make it this time.  I feel like this might be the time that at least one of us makes some big changes.  Losing weight does not constitute something great in and of itself.  I believe the bigger victory is gaining more control over oneself.

This time around, we have upped the ante.  The winner takes all!  The losers each have to cough up $1,000.  The loserest of losers, has to cough up an extra $250.  We also added a wrinkle making it impossible for one of us to lose only a single pound and win.  If none of us hits 25 lbs lost, then we all lose.  Here is a breakdown:

The winner will be declared as he who loses the highest percentage of body mass (Δ -30 lbs starting at 300 lbs is 10%, Δ -30 starting at 330 lbs is 9.09%).  As long as the winner has lost more than 25 lbs, the winner will receive $2,250 combined from the two losers.  The 2nd place finisher will pay $1,000 and the last (3rd) place finisher will pay $1,250.  If the winner does not lose more than 25 lbs, then all three of us will pay $1,000 each to a charity of the others' choosing.  Combined with this, the other two will also choose a "public humiliation" a la Impractical Jokers.  Also, we are adding a provision so that all three of us can win.  If each of us hits our goal weight lost during the competition, then we will have a guys weekend and nobody owes anyone anything...just their presence for a great weekend.

Starting weights and pictures:

Adam - 316.1 lbs (Goal is 30 lbs lost)



Brian - 381.0 lbs (Goal is 50 lbs lost)



Marcus - 385.4 lbs (Goal is 30 lbs lost)


This could be great or embarrassing...we get to choose!  Good luck guys!

Cheat Day

I both love and hate my cheat day! It tastes good but feels like crap!

After Week Four

This week was not a great one for any of us but we all are resolved to do much better this upcoming week. I was not feeling well, trying to deal with some emotional stressors in my life. I was able to hit a milestone...I'm down under 300 pounds for the first time in a long while. Adam continues to lose weight and is in a close second place. Marcus has some make-up to do as his family has been sick and he's been trying to help out in that respect.

just finished my first sub 10 minute mile since high school ... 9 minutes and 40 seconds ... I actually felt like I was going to pass out but I did it

Hey guys...hit the gym today...I seem to be speeding up...last week I ran a 12 minute mile...this week, 11:05...better but not yet where I want to be

Boring but Bulletproof

In the words of Rich...Boring but Bulletproof! Except for the egg whites I will cook in the morning...this is my food for tomorrow...4 oz of turkey, 1 can of chicken, 3 oz beef, 2 cans black beans, and 2 serving of spinach, broccoli, and green beans...
