For the record, I hate the Chipmunk. I watched him eat dumpling after dumpling at dim sum and dessert after dessert at my cousin's house while I refrained .. and still the bastard lost in one week almost as much as I've lost in 3 weeks. How is this fair ?!?! Someone find me a damn tapeworm !!!

Damn. Hopefully he peaked. I'm busting my ass running 5 times a week here. Eating carrots and minimal amounts of beef. =) What did he lose? Did he get a haircut? Lose a shoe? I just lost 9 pounds since last weigh in. This calculation sucks. =)

If he loses any more in the time allotted... it's over. The best I can do by the end of this is 1.5. Can't get any further than that.

DAMN YOU CHIPMUNK!!!

Screw it. Time to go past projections. You are my new pet project Mr. Chipmunk. I'm taking that cash! That link says it all biotches! =)

Dude. It's only week 1 for me. We all know that you usually lose the most your first week then things start to plateau. Things will most likely even out more next week.

Plus, remember that my blue collar job is very physical. I work on the second floor and make it a point to run up and down the huge ramp every time I go up and down to pick up or drop off a car. So, i'm pretty much "working out" all damn day.

Add to that, my secret weapon...our freakishly active English Bulldog that likes to drag me along behind him when we go or our little runs and it almost seems unfair. Almost. :)

I propose another contest after this one is said and done. How about the "Biggest Gainer after we get to Europe" contest? Cause I plan to eat like a madman (even more-so than usual) once we get there. I have a food blog that needs content ya know! Especially since my friggin hardrive crashed and I lost a TON of photos of places I hadn't reviewed yet. So who's with me?! Biggest Gainer anyone? :)

And yes...I am eating dammit. But not much by my standards. Polly actually duped me into going to a vegetarian...err...a "natural food" restaurant last night. Didn't know it was a veggie restaurant till we were sitting and reading the menu and noticed everything featured tofu and beans. Had a veggie "chili" burger. It was "ok" but anyone that tells you that a veggie burger tastes just like a real burger is a fool. Either that, or they've NEVER eaten a piece of good, juicy, blood dripping beef. I'll blog about it once I get my damn MacBook back from Apple...

No way! I'll eat, but I'm not screwing with my body anymore.

I know it's just your first week, but we only have 4 weeks left. In these 5 weeks if you lose 12 to 15 pounds that would put you at 1.5. For me to get to 1.6 I'd have to lose ANOTHER 12 pounds. That's all I'm saying.

DAMN YOU CHIPMUNK!

PS. Sucks about your Mac. Was it a seagate drive? Supposedly Seagate had some problems.

One Little Seedling said...

What I meant is 15 pounds in your total weight loss for the five weeks of competition. And yes, you lose most in the first week... and that's my point. I have to squeeze 12 more in the final leg. In fact anyone working out longer than 8 weeks won't stand a chance.

I'm gonna have to suck the life juice out of my body. Hee hee.

ATChipmunk said...

True. Funny thing is, i've lost 15lbs in a week before. Of course, that was when I was young and still competing in eskrima and had motivation (had to make weight for a weight division I wanted to fight in). At the time I was doing the "no carb" thing (long before the Atkins diet became all the rage) and hitting the gym 2 hours a day and sparring for 2 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. Those days are long gone. The motivation just isn't there for me to go all out like that. I enjoy eating way to much to make those kind of sacrifices these days...

One Little Seedling said...

That's true too. But it's a competition! Come on! Hee hee. I'm just intrigued whether I can push past whatever barrier is ahead. It's like getting to the high jump bar and every step closer it gets raised. Hee hee. Like a nightmare.

But I remember when you use to fluctuate from small too big. In 1998 to 2001? You would flip back and forth like nothing. Of course most of it was centered around your drive for eskrima. I remember how militant you could be with the "no carb" diet. I remember I tried it for a week and got a massive headache. Hee hee. I thought you were nuts. =)

You've actually stabilized into a healthy size since moving to Cali which is quite odd. You should stay that way... So Polly and I could win this. =) JK

Well, 30 minutes I'm jogging... Damn it. I'm obsessed with this craziness. Need to beat the game.

Unknown said...

That's it, I'm done. I'd pretty much would need to be Oli's weight to beat this. There's just now way. Jesus Al, you came out of nowhere! FOCUS POLLY, FOCUS!!!! You can win this. I believe in you.

I'm out too! Damn ceramical calculations will never allow those of us who started way back when to win! Should have listened to Gerry all along! Good luck to those who still believe...

One Little Seedling said...

I just want to see what happens at the end of Metroid.

m said...

yeah, screw this. i hate losing.

pass the butter.

Chief Sherpa said...

This competition sucks when you're not winning. I feel like I busted my ass this week and I didn't lose a pound. I wish someone could send me a cheesesteak with extra hots please? And jesus christ Seed! How the f did you lose 9 friggin pounds in 1 week??? I'm totally amazed at you, P and A! Good job guys!!

I have hit the wall. I'm hovering at about the same weight. Unless I go and diet, it's not gonna happen.

As long as I beat you (that's everyone else), I am happy.

Easter Brunch!!!!

One Little Seedling said...

We should just do whatever it takes to get whatever look we want. Cheese steaks, Burgers, a jog here, a jog there.

This was like the blow out race. Hee hee.

Lets just bust out the oil!

Sherp you can still win! But you probably gained mass from fitness training. Which is the way to go and will hotten ya up a little more anyways. =)

How did I lose 9 pounds... I bought the "Home Workout Bible", "Men's Health Best Abs" and made myself a little workout plan in my trusty little marble notebook. Then I jogged 5 days a week for 25 to 30 minutes. I work out all five days but do different muscles 3 times a week and different muscles 2 days of the week. I do a little 20 minute circuit on Sat. Sunday I can eat whatever and chill. This is just my first week after working out the kinks so I'm gonna see how it pans out in the coming weeks. It's like a science experiment on my mind and body. I was pretty fat and outta shape. Hee hee.

Hope no one is discouraged by this. Should just keep working out. If one needs too. Hell, Polly is kicking ass. Then Chipmunk lost a shoe. =)

Unknown said...

Damn Gerry .. you're a crazyman ! You're becoming John Beystow (or whatever that dude's name is) with the infomercials where his head is photoshopped on his ripped bod.

No one should feel bad .. you guys are so skinny. I have so much to lose which makes it "easier" in a way .. more to come off. I'm starting to a get a bit discouraged though .. I know the plateau is impending. Also, I think it's the tendency to get obsessive with weighing myself and what I eat. AAAAAAAAAAARGH ! I can do this shiet ?!?!

One Little Seedling said...

Awesome Polly... so I'll look like a 50 year old rapist.

Actually I don't think I'll make it "absolicious" look. I don't eat properly for it.It would be cool though.

"M" if you lose 10 pounds more you could leap up here. PUT DOWN THE BUTTER! Hee hee. Or take that pork outta the freezer. =)

ATChipmunk said...

Sheesh...ruffled feathers a little and everyone's ready to give up? WTF? My initial lead don't mean Shiet. Work it out people!
