So I have some takers!! Good on ya folks. I think the official start date will be the 15th of August. Strip down to yer skivvies, get on the scale and snap a pic of the displayed weight. Post the pic up and the game is on
I think a good end date is 15May2014. 9 months if my fingers worked correctly which should lead to some good healthy weight loss. Every 2 weeks check in with an update, the idea is support each other with a dose of peer pressure to help keep each other motivated.
On the 14th I will compile a list of who is playing, their weight, location and desired goal. Once we have a list we can break into regions, if someone has a preferance for a region that will become your chosen group and the members with whom you are competing with. My max weight before my back surgery was 254, yes, I was a fat man reduced to a portly man who needs to lose more. I wont be doing anything fancy or following any of the Hollyweird type programs. I will do it the old fashioned way, controlled consumption and increased exercise, to include resuming lap swimming.
Some may wonder what led me to this challenge, it started with dual sport MC weight, but I received a call that my step father Stan Lynde had passed away today of lung cancer. Knowing he was an advocate for healthy living I decided to do something in his honor. I will incorporate his home state of Montana into my route, so make sure you are ready for some serious miles starting with Lolo Pass. He's sitting with angels spinning a tale as I type.
