2013 Hunt WA Biggest Loser Comp

[Machias]

This is a friendly comp, we are going to take folks at their word.  The contest is just a way to hopefully motivate folks to get in better hunting shape and get in better shape for life.  The contest runs from 1 Jan to 31 Aug 2013.  Winner will be announced on 1 Sep.  Winner is the person who loses the biggest percentage of weight.  Since we have several great prizes we are going to let folks choose their prize, 1st place gets first pick, 2nd place gets second pick and so on and so forth.  Post your weight in red and my wife will keep track of it.  If you see a mistake or she misses someone please let her know nicely, she's a busy lady but has volunteered her time and effort so please be nice.    I would suggest folks take some before and after photos, but there is no requirement to post them, but trust me if you have some serious weight to lose, you'll be glad you did.

why not?  Maybe a different prize this coming year?  I'm near my goal and I could use the challenge to get over the last hurdle.  Pretty soon I'm going to be able to squeeze in my old uniforms from back in the day, wife's gonna love that.

I think this would be a great idea again!  Really helps with the motivation.

I think I'll make a post in the General section directing anyone interested in coming here.

I'm in .  When do we start?

[mfswallace]

Somehow I got 198lbs  on my 175lb frame, this should help motivate 

[h20hunter]

Yep....im in....250 on me is to much....wife and i getting serious about being more healthy.

I am down, why not, I go to the gym anyway.  How long does it run til and how to we report?  Wish I knew about this last year.  Since February of 2010, I have gone from 341 to 260lbs.  Still got about 20-25 more I would like to drop so this could be good motivation.

Wish I could gain ten or so! I've walked and hungered alot of beef off of my frame this hunting season. Lost a bunch of summers wood splitting muscle. And my tan!

1 Jan 2013 to 31 Aug 2013.  Post your starting weight in RED.  You can post a weekly weight if you want but my wife will only update the chart on the 1st of the month, unless someone else wants to help out.  We don't yet have a prize for the biggest loser which will be determined by total percentage of weight loss.  I would encourage those of us with substantial amounts of weight to lose take a before and after photo.  No need to post it unles you want to.  If you lose a bunch it's amazing to see the transformations.

You could maybe set up an appointment?

This recruit is in, Sir.

[bigsads]

Here is some of my before and after currently.  The 1st one was before I started to get serious the Aug 2009, clocked in at 325 by Feb 2010 I was 341.  Joined a gym in town, changed my diet and today I am between 255-265 on average.  Made packing out this years cow much easier.  Looking forward to seeing and hearing about everyone's success, and being a part of it.  I found what has helped me is the support of others, and my peers at the gym holding me accountable when I would not show for a day or two.  Good luck everyone.  Just remember it makes those 5-10 mile walks behind gates much easier, and the choice to put one down far behind a gate much more easier

Great stuff!!!!
