My friend Jeff (jtuner77) and I are starting a competition to see who can lose our last 24lbs the fastest! Our goal date is August 19th. It’s an aggressive goal, but I have confidence that we can both make it happen with a lot of hard work and extreme dedication! Each day we’ll be checking in with our stats including our current weights, and what we did the previous day with diet and exercise.

We’re making this competition public so we’ll both be more accountable and finally get to our goals. If you’re going to post any comments, please keep them positive, motivating, and supportive, because that’s what we’re all here for! :flowerforyou:

My start weight is 174.3, and my goal weight is 150…here we go!! :bigsmile:

    Unless Jeff is a GATOR grad, my money is on you. Good luck to you both.

    Even if he was a Gator, deep down you'd still support me, right?? (no worries though, I'm 99% sure he's not a Gator...otherwise this would be an even bigger competition!) haha

    I'm up for a challenge! However, I think 24 lbs by August is a little fast for me. I have been stuck at 158 for a while and plan to be down to 145 by the end of August (1 lb / week). But if I can do at least 12-15 lbs by then, I will be happy. So count me in!

    You know I got ya back. In college, I always thought I would fall in love with a Seminole, get married, then we could get the stuff that says A House Divided, like the license tag, t-shirts and stuff. Corny, but true statement. Instead I fell in love with a fellow GATOR who dumped me for a Seminole. ..lol. That last comment was a joke.

    I'm always up for a challenge. I'm currently at 226.8 as of this morning. That would put me at 202.8, I would love that.

    Guys have no idea how lucky they really are when it comes to losing weight!! They don't have TOM issues and they lose weight faster!!
