I'm going to follow along, and try to start exercising more (and maybe drinking less beer, but that sounds terrible). But I'm not going to enter the formal competition. I know with certainty that I won't win, so those aren't bets I like to make.
Same as Jilm and one or two others, awesome! A couple of those folks are just setting a personal goal they're hoping to hit for the 90 days - we'll get you a unique link in case you want to drop in and just have progress tracked along with the group.I'm going to follow along, and try to start exercising more (and maybe drinking less beer, but that sounds terrible).

I got you. I'll message ya.I'm torn here. I have very little interest in diet or exercise, but OTOH I LOVE competitions!!! Oh, my. What to do...
I guess I'm in, but interested in seeing how this is set up. (ps. I haven't read all 100+ posts)
insert comment about it being a dry heat...Went for a post workout evening walk last night in the 109 degree SoCal heat. Damn that was tough! Lol
Guess I better get used to it for the next few weeks
Absolutely! A lot of people are sharing the same feelings/thoughts. Hopefully people recognizing this thing is going to be less and less about winning or prizes, and more about hopefully getting a couple of people underway!Hey @BarrieJ3, is it too late for me to join in? I am seriously out of control and need something to get me back into HM shape.
I'll have to dig through a few boxes to figure out what my bounty will be.
Topo Chico! Glad to see a good start. I'm weighing in with most folks by/on Monday, but probably had a B/B+ week.Had a decent week last week. One meal I went overboard, but rest was decent, and I met my exercise and drinking plan.
Football season is gonna make it a little tougher, I picked up a ton of cold wet stuff to try to substitute that habit. The “hint” isn’t carbonated or sweetened and is pretty good. I do recommend.

Yeah honestly I don't even know how the bounty thing works. I just want in because I think doing this with a group that I'm accountable to will help me stay on track.Absolutely!

We are each throwing in a small prize (card capper, sample set, setup, etc) to prize pool. That goes to the winner. More of an ante than a bountyYeah honestly I don't even know how the bounty thing works. I just want in because I think doing this with a group that I'm accountable to will help me stay on track.
Timinator is getting the login stuff setup, and we'll get those out. Going to post the new thread tonight, with all the contestants, prizes, and what's needed at some point tomorrow (the weigh in).So...... What are we supposed to be doing right now? When do we start?
Can we edit the first post to sticky the primary information?
There are a bunch of stretches that can help. I did some serious damage 20 years ago and have on-again-off-again issues. I didn’t want to recommend any in particular because it seems to depend on the particulars person to person...but hit up google, try a few, and hopefully it’ll help?Had my first set back since I started a month ago. Went out to run today and my back started up. I can feel my sciatic nerve down my left leg......really painful. I am hoping it chills out and that I will be able to stick to the bike for a few weeks
No worries, I'll start the new thread right now and get everyones first weights via PM like we planned anyways. Will just get their links out to them Monday or whenever so they have a chance to do updates and see the progress.Will get everyone’s forms ready tomorrow night - maaaybe tonight but better jot those starting weights down just in case my kids are wild animals tomorrow and I don’t get to it.
This is the older interest thread. You might want to re-post in the new, official thread:
Maintained mostly this week. Which was good for me with all the extracurricular activities. I need to post my weight though.Anybody have any big losses yet? Are we supposed to log weekly?
It's all about the effort and trying brother... I unfortunately go hard core and it's the only way I know how to do it!! I'm not trying to win anyone else bounty/antee whatever they are calling itI gained 6 pounds (wtf?!) this weekend. Obviously I'm not taking this seriously enough. @Ben8257 just send me your address now and I'll mail you your prize
