Weight Loss Challenge

[Prelude008]

Weight Loss Challenge,

I’ve notice a lot of poker challenges in various forms (# hands played challenges, win $X in 60 days, etc)..so that got me thinking of something that I’ve been struggling with and wanting to do…losing weight and was curious if there are others who are interested in doing this also.

If so, I thought a weight loss challenge would be fun. We could set goals, offer support and advice, and check in to hold ourselves accountable. Just like the do on The Biggest Loser, Celebrity Fit Club, and Health Cops. Is there any interest? I seem to know what I need to do, I just seem "motivationally" and "committment" challenged. It seems like I am "turning over a new leaf" every week. Ultimately, I know the determination has to come from within, however, I thought a challenge would be fun and a great start. Thoughts….

Can I be the fat ex-wrestler that cries in all the commercials?

I'm in. I am becoming a complete fat toad. I am up to 270 lbs. I am 6'4" so that helps a little. Ideally, I would like to lose 15 lbs or so by the end of the year.

Starting weight = Starting bankroll

Amount of time in minutes spent exercising = # of hands played

Level of exertion during exercise = Aggression level

% of days of you exercised = WTSD%

% of days under total calorie requirement = W$WSF

Pounds lost X 3500 / Minutes spent exercising = your bb/100 win or loss rate

Normally, I'd say that's a good idea but that has poker contents you n00b.

Great there's interest,

I didn't see the post yesterday. Does anyone have a link? (but I will try to searchf or it) I like the stats. Maybe I'm use to planning for "falling off" but Monday weigh-in would maganify any weekend cheating - but we shouldn't be doing any right? This could be good in a way or an alternate mid-week day wouldn't reflect any weekend cheating. I'm open.

I would like to lose 75 lbs.

Good luck guys! Making a public commitment definitely can encourage you to meet your goals.
