Ill join this. Never can have enough challenges.

I will post my weight on May 1st since I'm sure its going to be different. June 15 I plan on starting SGX protocol so hopefully that will help me out :D

I predict my weight will be in the 348-350 range. Was at 359 last Saturday.

Excellent! Thanks for joining in w/ me in my challange! I really hope I can use this to really jump start my lifestyle change..

No problem. I got to lot to lose myself, been going at it since mid January. Started in November then Mid-December I hit the holiday slump. So far since I have been doing great. Down 56 so far.

Just get your diet in line and hit the :bb: and you will do great.

Alright! Let the challange begin!

I'm looking forward to people joining and making this a good challange!

Good luck to everyone...

Just create a new post every Wednesday night or Thursday morning by 6am w/ your updates

I was hoping for more than 2 lbs... I worked out and ate right but my eating schedule was all over the place b/c I did lots of traveling... Now that I'm done, I should be able to pick it up!

Good luck!

Hello there, gentlemen,

Thank you for the challenge.

I've just seen the thread. I'm a bit late so I will not officially join the challenge.

I will however chime in from time to time to compare my current measures with you.

As of today, 9th of May, I have the following parameters ;)
Height: 5 feet 8 inches / 172+ cm
Weight: 222 lbs / 100.8 Kgs
BF %: 31.5% (As indicated by my Omron BF306)

I hope to lose about 3lbs/week. I did better than that last year, but my hopeless and notorious lack of will kept me from better accomplishments.

Cheers,
Dan

Week Status:
WEEK 1: 222 (s) / 221 (c) / 1 (wl) / 1 (sl) / 190 (g)
