Fat Challange 2009?

Hey Tenn... you got to lose the first lbs right around the ol wallet before you can lose them in the pack... lol.

Just totaled my miles for the year.. 310 miles and still going.. lol

I weighed in at 190 lbs

Tenn.. Earlier this year I was carrying a 40 pound pack but a couple of weeks ago I packed for a 3 day backpacking trip and weighed my pack in at 19 lbs. without water. I added things up and my total "trail weight" was over 350 lbs. before me and my pack lost weight WOW!!! Now my "trail weight" is 279 lbs. but I still have a long way to go to catch your "trail weight" of 228 lbs. Good Job!!!

ED

2 years ago, my total trail weight, without water, was about 250 pounds. My pack now weighs under 10 pounds without water, and I weigh(ed) 180 for my Buffalo Yo-yo last march. There is no way I could have done a yo-yo of the Buffalo in 2.5 days with 250 pounds plus water!!!

This should be a great challenge....as long as we progress we will all be winners. Congrats Dwight on the new baby and keep dropping the weight Ed!

WOOOO HOOO.. alright fatsos.. where you at.. 216 and going lower.. lets see how every one did with Thanksgiving lol. I lost my 3lbs this week. Lets everyone keep up the good work and remember this is the last weekend of the month. This will start a new record for Dec so your weigh in today will be the new mark for December for you. Also remember that Dec will be a even harder month with the holidays and all the (yuck) food that goes with it. Basically remember this, If you just touch your tongue to it and it taste good... SPIT IT OUT cause its got something in it that you aint suppose to have hahaha

I have been soooooo bad!!!!!! With the hospital and Thanksgiving, I am in bad shape. Amanda told me that we are getting serious today, so her and I will be back on our old diet before she got pregnant. Wish me luck

good luck.. look at it this way.. new month lol

There's enough time for that.
Try to discipline yourself by eating fat burning food and do some fat burning exercises.

Well since we are backpackers and hikers and put in lots of miles the exercise part of this isn't a problem.
There isn't anyone here that is a couch potato for sure! Just check the trip reports. Heck even myself
at 57 with a full knee replacement can still put one foot in front of the other!

Well I don't partake of the Vitamin "B", what would work for me guys?

OOOOOOOOOOO I know here is a new one I just found, Vitamin "MD"
yep good old Mtn. Dew!! Your go to drink on the trail!!

Tom,

Vitamin "MD" has tons of calories. Definately not "fat burning foods" .

Welll it will give you the energy to get up and down the trail! Some folks seem
to use the stuff, have found cans in the backcountry. Especially near places were
ATV's have access!

hahaha so does Vitamin B, I think we need to all stick with Water, and Coffee is zero Calorie, thats what I like

OK,OK I will explain myself. If you drink "Vitamin B" very, very fast it does not have any calories.

When you drink "Vitamin B" very fast, you body absorbs the alchohol first and then what hapens next is a phenomenon I like to call the liquid yawn and then magicaly there are no calories in your body.

Sorry Preacha, just kidding around.

hahahaha, I get it!!! Kind of like when I eat really spicy, questionable Mexican food . All of a sudden there are no more calories

Alright Fatsos... Lets go at it.. who was Good this week...

Hey hey hey. Another 2lbs gone. Lets fill em out fatsos. We only got a couple of more weeks left in this month and YOU KNOW WHAT NEXT WEEK IS. Next Sunday's score sheet will be the interesting one. So if you cheat today it will add up even more next week lol.

our scale broke, and I finally bought a new one!! So I guess I will wiegh in today

Ok Fatsos.. time to pay the piper.. Lets just SEE who was bad over the holidays. hahaha No loss here but no gain either.

Well I only gained one lb. Not bad, Ill take that!
Going to spend three to four days of hiking and trail work this
week should lose some lbs for sure!

Is there going to be another challenge for 2010? I would like to participate. I could use it.
