Newnan’s Largest Lessener 2

I don't want to get sued by any major networks.

So there is a group of men in the Atlanta suburb of Newnan. They are mostly white, mostly well out of high school and all are quite fat. I am one of these men.

We began a challenge Feb 9^th, 2012, a contest if you will. Each of the seven is putting up $50.00 and in sixteen weeks (on or about May 31^st) the one who's lost the largest percentage of weight will take home $350.00 dollars. Technically its three hundred since the total prize includes their fifty dollar entry.

The Starting weigh-ins were Huge and there will be no information of a specific nature given for the other participants in this blog. However I will tell you that as a group the total weight in pounds was 2,146.20 lbs. That is more than a ton of human fat-assness.

Other than weight I am checking my measurements again so here are the starters:

Left Arm:    16.50
Shoulders:    58.50
Chest:        56.75
Waist:        55.00
Hips:        49.00
Left Thigh:    28.50
Left Calf:    18.50
Left Ankle:    10.50
Left Wrist:    07.75
BP:        159/104
Pulse:        70

My measurements as of this morning:

Left Arm:    16.25
Shoulders:    58.25
Chest:        54.50
Waist:        54.50
Hips:        47.50
Left Thigh:    27.00
Left Calf:    18.50
Left Ankle:    10.25
Left Wrist:    07.75
BP:        136/87
Pulse:        69

 

The BP on Feb9th was 135/78, and now we're back to that range again. Maybe the overeating on the night of weigh-in added a ton of bad things that jacked the pressure. Salt is a helluva drug.

The change in weight for the week was -13 pounds. As the cleanse ends and the regular diet begins on Sunday we'll see what the change is going forward.

Going to check on the gym near my house on Saturday and get a personal trainer to push me forward on a better exercise plan.

The target is -50 lbs for the end of May and I have 37 to go. That's only three months so it would be just over 13 pounds a month and 3 pounds a week. Tough but fair and unlike the TV show I won't have anyone yelling at me and forcing me to exercise so it will require a great deal of self-disciple. So look there first month down and I'm only nine days into this thing.

I'm still screwed. (Man, I want a pizza so bad.)
