go for it Ken....you saw how I did it...follow suit. Unless you aren't man enough to go this public. In which case..we understand...fake some weight and come April you can lie about how little you weigh. If it makes you feel better.

Same goes for anyone else who wants to 'play' Bring it all out in the open and let us mock you (waiting for someone to do it to me) all the way to April.
Otherwise you're just a wus looking for attention.
Get on the bandwagon or take your ball (if you have any) and go home.

I am in 5'9 200 just signed up for memphis in may and I am ready to roll

I'm in. Lost 25 pounds this summer. Put 5 back on in the last two weeks. I'm off to the pool to start the proceedings.

I need the motivation Kentiger!! The mint chocolate chip ice cream is too tempting and with the -4 degree temps the electric blanket is too nice. Come on....let me play!! :-)

What the mind can concieve and believe, it can achieve!

alright then..you all asked for it...before asking to play let it be known that anyone and everyone is allowed in on the deal but expect criticism and mockery at every opportunity. We can work out individual details for everyones punishment for failure to reach the 20 mark or we can come up with a mutual humiliation for all (although my fate it yet to be determined by the rules of Speedy since it is really all about he and I here). Nothing comes easy though..we need details about your beginnings (and you need to be serious here..no faking it by wearing full on sweats and steel toed work boots...and you really have to want to lose the weight).
As I posted...give us an age, height, weight, location (in case someone else local can/wants to keep tabs on you to keep it really real), and if a pic is available..bring it on too. No more asking to play..no more half hearted attempts at claiming to be part of the deal..all in or nothing. This is serious business people...you want to lose it or be a loser?

In short..quit the shit and post it all...wuss!

and stocks...dude (if you are a dude) mint choc chip? For real? What kind of a pansy assed excuse for ice cream is that anyway? You gonna let some minty sugar get the better of you or are you gonna man up and do something about it? Oooooh it's calling me....wah wah wah! 20 pounds man...20! Crappy frozen milk is getting in the way of you being a 'real' triathlete...you going to be a wannabe all your life or are you hoping to grow a spine someday soon?
Mint choc chip...nice excuse..weiner.

I know it might be hard over the holidays, I want in. I gained 24 pounds in the last year and want to lose most of it before next season.

you saw the rules sailor...post it and make the jump..otherwise you're just full of hot air.

All right! I'm in. I need to drop some serious weight before IMAZ. I weighed 195 for IMAZ this year and I need to be at least that for 2006. I would really like to be around 185.

Weight: 216.2 (boxer briefs only)

% Body Fat: 23% (according to the Tanita, just for reference)

What the mind can concieve and believe, it can achieve!

I tried to set up the goal so we lose 1 lb per week. I have heard that quicker weight lose is stressful on the body & unlikely to stay off. Feel free to set your own goals, but I would hate to have anyone do themselves harm.

well, if we are posting

male

37 years old

212 lbs

alot of body fat

TARGET WEIGHT- 182

and spineless too...don't forget the spineless part;-)
you already lost too much...no way you're ever gonna lose another 20

alright....mileader....if I fail to reach the goal I will do something longer than a try a tri...my wife is standing next to me and says I'm not even allowed to do a sprint if I don't reach the goal...Oly or longer.

Dang...we sound like a bunch of women (not that there's anything wrong with that).



I'm in...and in with 29 lbs instead of 20. You tell me the punishment for not doing it - I'll do it - with pics. A race this year is IMC, so need less lbs to climb.



December 14, 2005

Height: 6' 0"

Weight: 192

Goal Weight: 163

% Body Fat: not sure, but I have a big gut

Age: 30

Location: Atlanta, GA

OK...I'll step up to the plate...but only if kentiger commits to a race longer than a TAT...Oly or longer? I say Wasaga Oly in September - gives you some extra time to train...or lose the fitness you've gained by April 15/05. If I don't hit goal weight, let's see, I'll do IMLP.

Age - 32

Height - 6'

Location - Markham, Ontario

Weight (as of Dec 14/05 - 06:30 EST) - 198 lbs

Goal weight by April 15/06 - 178 lbs (that would make a 1 year total loss of 47 lbs)

Goal weight by July 23/06 - 175 lbs
