Greetings, everyone - I am currently involved in a weight loss bet with a friend. We started on April 1 and the official weigh-in at the end is on June 1. We're going by percentage since I outweigh him by close to 30 lbs.
Anyway, I plan to post here daily these last few weeks as a way to stay accountable and to give you some results on how things work. For the first 3-4 weeks of our bet, I was pretty strict on diet and ended up down about 11 lbs. My buddy was not quite as strict as me and was down about 3 lbs so I slacked off a little and now am down a total of closer to 8 lbs.
I intend to win and to do so in a soul-crushing way, so I reached out to TChan for some guidance and he provided me a
link to a reputable way of cutting weight for he and his hit-em-in-the-face brethren.
I already work out 4-5 days per week but am switching that up to mostly cardio each time. As for nutrition, I will be looking to eat <40g of carbs each day from now until the weigh-in, with lots of water intake (see the link above) the last few days.
Anyway, here are my starting numbers as of 5/15/17:
6'6" (1.98 m) tall
263.0 lbs (119.3 kg)
I started on 4/1/17 at 270.4 (122.7 kg) and have been down as low as 259.2 (117.6 kg).
I'll post here with updates daily after my morning weigh-in.
