The Icrontic 30 pound challenge
Like many of you (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU FAT BASTARDS), I need to lose weight. I am rapidly approaching the magical age of thirty, and I don't want to go into the prime of my life (pun intended) carrying extra baggage. I have enough as it is.
Having tried this before, I know it's much easier when you have other people to jeer and cheer you on, and other people to share progress and goals with.
Therefore, I am presenting the SM 30lb Challenge to all of us who need to lose that kind of weight.
The goal is to lose THIRTY US POUNDS (not Stones or Kilograms or Drachmas or whatever weird units you non-americans use) by JUNE 22nd, 2007, which coincidentally is the time of the
SM LAN and is also six days before my 30th birthday. As a present to myself, I want to lose 30lbs for my 30th.
Now, it's not as hard as it sounds. That's only around five pounds a month. I did it once before - I lost almost 35lbs but like a typical slob, gained it all back. I did it before, and I know I can do it again.
One person who helped me a lot was long time short-media member and good friend CitrixMeta. He used to be a fat slob too but he lost like a million pounds and now he's a hardbodied badass who looks all tough and cool and stuff. He directed me to a site called
FitDay. By altering my food intake and keeping track of what I ate, I was able to pull off some impressive results.
I digress. And regress. Back to the challenge:
Losing the weight will be the easy part. The hard part will be posting WEEKLY PICTURE UPDATES of your fatness for all of us to see. Also, you'll be keeping track as best you can of your daily progress on Fitday, so you'll need to set up a free fitday account.
Weight loss methods aren't specified in this challenge - except please don't use the "eat three cheeseburgers and do cocaine" method. It's not healthy
Yes, you'll have to post pics. Sorry, that's the deal.
So who's with me? Here is a link to
my fitday account.
Let's keep this thread updated with our progress. Every Friday we'll post a pic - front and side view.
I'd like to note that there have been several friends of mine from the short-media community who have served as an inspiration for this. Congratulations to you guys who have gotten svelte and in shape. I'm proud of you all.
