Made a drunken bet with Fiver the other night. It involves losing 20 pounds in 2 months. 205 to 185. 50 dollars are in play. Deadline is July 12.

My actual goal is to make it down to 2009 levels, i.e. 175ish.

Daily updates will be posted in this thread.

Fiver is a sucker. :spinner:

:pogo:
 
20 pounds in 2 months is definitely do-able. I have needed to lose weight quite a few times in my life and once I start serious dieting, the pattern usually goes: lose 4-6 pounds the first week, then 2-3 pounds per week on average after that. That would get you over the hump with room to spare.

I can't speculate as to your level of discipline and will-power, but in my experience, it is do-able.
 
Like I said, 175 is my real goal. 185 will easily be reached, maybe under a month. 175lbs would bring me down to ~10% body fat - much more of a challenge.

I've been eating utter crap and not exercising for months, I'm surprised I didn't balloon up farther than 205.

Only exercises involved are push-ups, power walks to work (2 miles/3 kms) and a daily hour of ping pong.

We're gonna do this.
 
I didn't lose much weight when I was doing coke daily. I'd not eat for 24 hours then I'd crash so hard that I'd be too messed-up to go out and get food, so I'd order a greasy pizza topped with bacon.

In other words, calm down Rubyn.
