***Official*** 2023 weight loss challenge - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

slicktree · 12-31-2022, 12:08 PM

Let's keep it simple guys, I don't have a bunch of free time to keep a spread sheet of everyone's weight loss so lets do this on an honor system. Challenge starts tomorrow January 1st and ends April 1st.

Let's do weigh ins every 2 weeks, just simply post a picture of your weight on the scale. First weigh in will be tomorrow Jan 1st, second one on Jan 14th then every other Saturday after that. If Saturday doesn't work please post weigh in by Monday 9pm. If you miss 2 weigh ins your out.

Please keep track of your weight loss and post the difference each weigh in after the first one. Whoever loses the most body weight percentage is the winner.

At the end of the competition everyone who participated will send 20.00$ to winners choice of charity. If you drop out your still on the hook for the 20.00 if I missed anything let me know.

Good for you. Maintaining is the hardest part for me I lost 20 lbs 2 years ago and it all came back plus 5. I'm gonna try real hard to keep it off this time.

rtp · 12-31-2022, 03:55 PM

I’m curious what is the importance of a weigh in every couple of weeks. Can someone explain that to me?

Weight loss, weigh gained.

Losing weight, keep up the good work, unless you got sick.

Gaining weight, get up from the table a little sooner, hit the gym harder, or get some form of exercise going.

I was curious as well. Usually was around 1st of every month, so once a month (per the last few challenges). Easier to keep up with that way. Whatever works though

I definitely need to do this. I’ve said it several times this past year…”this is the most I’ve ever weighed!!!” Not a great feeling. Haven’t stepped on the scale this morning….5’ 11”…. Really really close to 260lbs. Maybe this will help keep me motivated.

slicktree · 01-01-2023, 09:14 AM

I'd like to drop 25-30 lbs

I need to get back to 250

brrdnk · 01-01-2023, 11:08 AM

Goal is 250 or better by June 1st. Started at 345# August 1, Doing the Carnivore Diet/Lifestyle.

Drycreek3189 · 01-01-2023, 11:10 AM

From a high of 364 several years ago I’m down to 265 per Dr. scales last week. What do I win ?

Hoggslayer · 01-01-2023, 03:19 PM

This cheap phone camera is blurry but I promise that doesn't say 3,030 Lbs.

A few pounds higher than usual, but I'll be back down in a few days if all goes right. Just gotta maintain.

Just weighed in at the gym (no scale at the house and also whoever is in charge let me know if this pic doesn’t count)

I’ve gained 20 pounds since the end of October which is insane and embarrassing. Goal is to get around 175’

Good luck everyone

I'm doing the same Keto diet as I did last time. This detox phase is kicking my butt. Anyone else dealing with the Keto-flu or keto-insomnia symptoms? I fill like crap today and couldn't sleep last night.

bowhntrmatt · 01-03-2023, 07:46 AM

This is tough, especially when they bring pizza and cake to shift last night.
But gotta stay dedicated to this.

Down a couple. Me easy weight loss is long gone. Averaging 10lbs a month, slow and steady.

That"s a really good rate. Hard to keep that up for most people.

slicktree · 01-08-2023, 09:57 PM

I was down around 11 lbs really quick and the last 3 days I've stalled at 10 lbs down don't know why. I've been bike riding, working out, and eating healthy. Gonna hit it harder next week

sierracharlie338 · 01-09-2023, 05:47 AM

I’m only down 4 so far but have not changed my eating habits until today and have been on a couple walks of 3 miles or more. Today starts my heavy cut back on food intake and type.

Sierracharlie out....

bowhntrmatt · 01-09-2023, 08:38 AM

I'm only down a few so far. Haven't really done any intense workouts yet, and for me that is what would make me drop a bunch of water weight fast. But I have been eating much better. I bet I've saved close to $100 already compared to eating out every day at lunch and about half the time at dinner.

slicktree · 01-13-2023, 05:31 PM

Weigh ins are tomorrow guys. I'm pretty lenient please weigh in atleast by Monday night.

Also when you post your weigh in post how many pounds you've dropped since the beginning

Canoe1 · 01-13-2023, 06:05 PM

It'll be Tuesday morning before I can, closing out the season at the ranch.
Should of brought the scale with me.
