I don't think you're as far off as you're claiming but best of luck to getting there!!

And I'm really not sure how many there are. I'm still waiting for AnthonyS to respond

Maybe so, I hope I can reach my goal SOONER than later.. We will see!

I have messaged him as well, but haven't heard anything....

I don't care, I haven't heard much from the judges besides Ruffdaddy... I'm sure they won't mind. We need more people, in my opinion...

[Ruffdaddy]

Sign up Kenny!!! Just means you lost a few days!

[Silverback]

I had planned on signing up this year, i ran the one last year. But instead of looking to this contest, I've decided to do it for myself, and started a bit earlier, and hope to keep it up for a very long time.

Good luck everyone

We should start a gains thread for this stuff huh? I have been cutting up to but know I don't have enough to lose or gain to win this comp. I would like to have a public gains thread to track independent of this comp though

I know there was one on the other site for a while, people were updating their posts with their own tracking. Weight, lifts, measurements, pictures, etc.

I think it's a good idea for those that would use it. One of the hardest things for me is getting mentally there. I know what to do, I can get my diet about 90% on point, and even get in the gym regularly. But one slip up and it all comes crashing down, and getting remotivated is hard. That's why this time around, I'm just going to go at whatever pace I dictate for myself. If I can keep the diet at 90% and hit the gym as often as possible, I hope the benefits will start showing more, and motivate me to go to the gym more or even clean up the diet to 100%.

My new little bit of inspiration I'll share with everyone.

"While motivation stimulates action, action also stimulates motivation, without one neither could exist."

Sounds good to me!

Sent a PM to AnthonyS to see about joining in the contest.

I'm currently at 225 down from a high of 281 a year and a half ago (I'm 6'0"). I was down to 206 last year, but due to promotion/school/divorce I've been slacking on the diet and excercise department. I'm hoping this contest will kick start me back on track to getting back to a healthy lifestyle and the health benefits that come with it. I'd like to get to eventually get to 180, but for the contest I would like to at least get under 200.

Feel free to get jump start on the pics prior to approval from Anthony just in case he can't answer

I've been working like a madman. I did get in a swim last night though, and swam a new fast personal best.

I have responded to all PMs.

So far we have 4 contestants, 3 official and one unofficial and 2 judges. We need another judge and a few more contestants too.

And for the record, I'm probably fatter than all of you, but I can run bike and swim faster than I could 10 years ago when I was still within Navy weight standards too.

My goal is to get down to that weight in the next 2 years but be more fit than I ever was. I ran 2.5 miles Monday night on a scenic route around some ponds with ducks and enjoyed the view. I can currently run 5K with faster mile splits than my passing mile splits on my Navy 1.5mile runs. Who knew? I'm still 50 pounds heavier too. I plan to be less than 210 on March 27th and well under 200 by June 6th. In June I will post up pictures at 250+ and what I weigh in June.

If anyone wants to meet me for a run, just holler. We are doing the run for the beads 5K in Oak Cliff in March. I forget what day exactly. And then we will be doing the Tour Dallas bike ride on April 2nd. I also have some charity run my wife wants us to do for battered and abused women in April.

Do what you need to do! I'm probably going for an indoor bike ride tonight since it's too damn cold outside.

[Machx2]

So how many people are participating besides the other two guys that have posted up their info?!

I do have a name ya know! Lol jk.

[AnthonyS]

We have another contestant as of this evening.

I can't wait for this weather to go away though. I want to be outside for a while and not freeze.

My bad knee is starting to give me trouble. I had (Big spell check here) Oshtenscholgers as a kid. One never healed correctly.

Hopefully itll iron itself out soon. I hate walking, as im just starting to get a few minutes in before having to slow for a min.

Being a smoker for all my adult life and only being 6-7 months out, my lungs have a long way to go.

Other than that i still weigh the same as i did last week. Im glad ive got the next two days off to recover. I really wish at times like these i had a job that used more of my brain than my body. I do alot of walking on concrete 3-5 hours a day.

Diet is still going well. I cheated today and had a coke and a little ice cream. Still under 3k calories.

Other than that im beat and so is the body.
