Catching up, I am in for this. I have been trying to lose weight since I stopped playing football, since no one was telling me to get smaller back then. I’m diligent about going to the gym 3 days week and I hit it hard when I am there… and then come home and eat like crap. Accountability to other people may be the best thing for me.
Was thinking a little higher there, kiddo!
Or with kids vs without.

Cmon, let’s all play the same field. You really want to make this about increasing your own chances of winning, or just improving everyone’s health?
Oh… and I call dibbs on @Lazstradamus as my trainer/nutritionist.
Think any winner of this should be proud, no matter their division.
We could also do smaller monthly competitions, you know, earn points towards a Fat-Ex Cup…

Everyone throws in $5/monthly for the Aug 15 - Sep 15, then Sep 15 - Oct 15, etc… competition, then we establish some longer time window for the overall competition, say, 6 months? A year?
(I’m in.)
I think we should go with Illini’s idea. Everybody that makes a certain % gets their money. We split the rest the $ of those who don’t make it to the goal. If everyone makes it, we all toast each other and we are healthier for it and get our $50 back

Good idea. What’s the percentage?
@IlliniGolferHack when I visit I’m just pouring straight butter into your drinks so that I can take your money

…
Google search for “what percent of body weight can i lose in a month” must be skyrocketing right now since no one is typing here
It’s generally given as 1-2lbs per week. So that % is going to vary person to person.
Yea, I saw this number too, but 1-2 pounds per week for a person who weighs 150 is vastly different than for me at 250, and I wouldn’t believe for both of us it’s 1-2 pounds a week. Heck I vary that much within a day easily.
Exactly.
So I want to know “who is that 1-2 pounds for”
Sourcing this out to my sister in law who has a masters degree and is a dietician… I’ll let you know
