Well I guesse its time to start. I have been lurking on this site for a while now, and need to start a program for myself. What better way then with a challange with myself. Let me explaine this challange and introduce myself. Hi everyone my name is Bryon Sparks, I am 5'11'' weight is 313 lbs. I were a size 44 to 46 depending on how they are made more on the 44 side of things. Anyway. I work in an office complex. I do Technical Support for a few internet companys around the United States. I am the guy when you call you internet service provider for help on why you cant get online or why you cant get you email. Its a very stressful job, Imagine trying to tell your 80 year old great grandma how to click on the start button on the lower left hand side, and she is saying I don't have a start button or I can't see it or the one the really bugs the crap out of me is when they say What after everything you tell them. anyway, I am also a singer, which has brought me to my challange. Dream Big Is a local vocal talent search in Ohio, think on the lines of American Idol. This show is televised in two states 5 locations. (1.) nbc 35 Lima Ohio (2.) Fox Toledo Ohio (3.) NBC 2 Dayton Ohio (4.) Mansfield ohio (5.) Fox 55 out of Fortwayne. I have been on the show Many Many times but never seem to win the finals, we are in season 5. and on season 3, I won 2nd place. I think what is keeping me from winning is my image. I hate to say it but I really think that is the reasoning or part of. The girl that beat me that season was vocaly equal but her look was stunning. I am not saying that loosing weight will win me the 2001 mucery but I sure it can help to look a little bit more presentable.. So I am comming up with my dream big challange. I plane to loose as much weight as I can 40+ lbs off is my goal. the finals are on december 11. I do belong to a gym so that will help.

I will post my weekly weights and measurements.

Thanks for listing, And I do really need the support I can get and by reading all of you post now for a long time, I know I can do.

Today is the begining of the rest of my life.

Good Luck!! :tu:

I wish you luck with your goal, but to lose 40 pounds in 60 days will require a very strict plan incorporating proper diet including how much of what to eat and when. Plus a cardio plan and a weight training plan. How do you anticipate losing the weight?

I'm assuming all three pictures are you-the middle one isn't bad at all. Look at Reuben Studdard. You may want to hit the tanning booth a little the month before the next contest since the bright lights plus white skin can make you look shiny if you're white and from Ohio.

its gonna be tough but I think its doable.. I will continue even after the show which has been moved up a week so now I have till December 18 instead of the 11th. And if I dont make the challenge then what ever I lost will be a good start.

Thanks for the encouragement

Hey Bryon,

Hey Bryon,

Just wondering..what part of Ohio do you live in? Is it near Lima?

Well the 11th is a week from today. Are you going to post and let us know how its going? Personally I wanted to say I liked the middle pic the best even tho u said it wasnt one of your better hair cuts. I think your hair in the other pics makes you look older. Well good luck with the finals....Do great! :tucool:

Hey.

I think you are starting to do the right type of thinking. When it comes to overall health you should think life long. Change your general habbits and stick to them in the future.

Good luck.
