218 this morning

218 this morning

I’ll either by 218 by June 6th or 250. It’s a coin flip.

 

[demonnic]

Where do I send the cheesecake?

 

[BarrieJ3]

Progress has definitely halted. Was waiting to post until I was in the 220s, and it took all week.

Down 20 lbs in a month is great, but that’s the easy work.

Would be nice to be 220 by June 6th, but I don’t think my body can rest at that weight so soon. Haven’t been at that kind of weight in over a decade.

 

[Cratty]

Woohoo! Keep it up. Great work, man.

 

[BarrieJ3]

Woohoo! Keep it up. Great work, man.

Much appreciation. It's my first time ever focusing on food. I've always just went with "I can outwork my diet" - i.e. go bike 30 miles and then cool down with a nice Chipotle/Qdoba burrito and diet coke. This time it's like 99% focus on food and being conscientious, just getting exercise where I can.

If @BarrieJ3 ever hits 215 (not time limited) he can have a sample set, only planning up to 5 sample sets total though, not sure yet if or how I might give out.

Oh I saw this. I'm coming for all the samples.

 

[Tonysquander]

Keep it up! Hardest part is pushing through the plateaus and staying focused. Even if you seem to be level for a few days keep at it and it will keep dropping. Good luck.

 

[demonnic]

At this rate it's looking like I'm gonna owe you $50

 

[BarrieJ3]

Eh. It’s never is it possible, just will I do it.

I’ve never gotten there once so far, it’s still prob 50/50 if I’ll be at 300 or 200 in a month

But, if I do win, there’s already plans in place. We’ll either lose the money together or win the money together.

 

[detroitdad]

Quit being a bitch. You've got this. Congrats!

Just to be clear, that was meant as encouragement and not complaining. You're looking to be on track for the run, and I hope you make it. Even more now since I'm curious about those plans lol

[BarrieJ3]

Real simple, I'm 251 right now.
If don't get down to 230 by June 6th, I pay you $X.
If I'm between 225-230 it's a wash.
Sub 225 you owe me $X!

@Tonystark137 $50
@embiggens $50
@Cratty customs & $100
@iLogik $50

Easy peasy y'all! Forgot to weight myself this morning, but I'm typically around the 225 mark most mornings. I could go eat a whole hog or big weekend and come in around 232+, or I can focus for 3 days and shed water weight and be around 220+.

To prove weight, photo just taken now with PCF timestamp and showing weight 228 lbs. I didn't plan on going to vegas, but myself, wife, and kids are all heading out for a week tomorrow morning at like 3 am. I'm hitting the boxing and peloton today and minimizing water, just to come in under 225 on June 6th because that's what I set out to do. But I'm not actually collecting money from anyone, I just appreciate you helping me out by giving me some extra incentive to not lose.

A big thank you for putting up what seems like a nominal bet, but has great meaning to me. I don't know if I'll see the other side of 200 ever, but there's 47 weeks to go for me to get as sexy as possible for our PCFers Poolside Calendar photo shoot at the next WaB meetup. I'll see you there....

 

[Tonystark137]

It's a SWEAT literally...

 

[iLogik]

Congratulations on the achievement! Hope you keep it up! That #200 will come soon enough

 

[detroitdad]

Send me your PayPal

 

[Hotus777]

Congrats, nice weight loss! It’s never easy man

 

[BarrieJ3]

I’m good on the money! Seriously, lol I don’t want funds to be a driver for good health decisions. Appreciate it though.

I’m happy to be in slightly better shape for Vegas and flights and hanging out.

I think the next two dates I’m looking to hit is to see where I can be by years end, and then next years April meetup.

No real goal weight in mind. Would like to be flexible enough and a stronger core so I could actually get up and surf with my son. Have wanted to do triathlon since I was a kid, so if I can actually figure out the swimming that’d be a cool end result too.

 

[Cratty]

Hell yeah! Congrats, phenomenal work.

Once samples come, will be excited to send your way.

Otoh, I made a bet and I pay my debts, you're getting your $50 somehow, if I have to sneak it in with a chip shipment. =)

We had a bet. If I had won the bet, I would have collected. Collect my $50 bucks and put it on 27 if that makes you feel better lol

 

[embiggens]

Money sent. Good work on the lbs loss.

 

[BarrieJ3]

Whelp. Well played. Would mind selecting a number from 00 or 0-36?

 

[Tonystark137]

Waiting on tomorrow weight in to sent money

I just can't go without ongoing gambols in my life. On PCF, that usually just means sports and weight bets. So on that note, my 4th PCF weight loss bet!

Real simple, I'm 251 right now.
If don't get down to 230 by June 6th, I pay you $X.
If I'm between 225-230 it's a wash.
Sub 225 you owe me $X!

No gimmicks, no craziness. I just weigh in June 6th and the chips fall where they may. We've done this 4 times before, I've never won. Last one paid out @kmccormick100 $7-800, before that DD won $50, before that a group bet I lost around $600. I just kinda like being fluffy.

Maybe this time I'll actually do it? Doubtful, but we'll see!

Lemme know if you want free money. Happy to send my total $ at risk to someone to hold until June 6th as well if desired.

Sorry. I'm a bit drunk and can't track. How about we just go % for %? I weigh 175ish (I think).. How about we just see who lose more % wise for $100? I'll step on the scale tomorrow morning for an official weigh in.

June 30th good end date for you?

 

[BarrieJ3]

lol yes, we still need a sub 225 weigh in on June 6th.

And if people are hard headed and have to pay, fine by me! We’ll go with the original plan.

Anyone that sends, pick a number. I’ll be doing a roulette spin with @Rieguy in Vegas this week with the proceeds.

If your number hits, we’ll divvy up the $1,750.

I just dropped 25 last 2 months, 35-40+ over last 3-4 months.

still a very long way to go, but in Vegas the next week, with more travels on horizon. I wouldn’t be able to do a competition any justice right now!

I just like to gamble my friend. For no reason other than to have a drink together. How about a $1 bet for bragging rights + the loser owes the winner a drink of choice? I'll be in Vegas July 4th if you are there.

On for a $1... I'm probably at my heaviest at 225 after dinner tonight...
