Having that feeling of pressure under the lungs and shortness of breath is a clear indicator that I have to join this challenge. I am in!

Fatman: just back from vacation and now have access to a scale. It wasn’t pretty…the scale that is.

Before joining this challenge I’m wondering if I can use substitute ‘placeholder name’ for my starting weight? I’m thinking something like OH MY GAWD! or THIS IS NOT GOOD and then using that moniker minus lbs for each week weigh-in.

Thank you for your consideration.

YES FATTY! Just saw this and am totally interested and agree to all the rules. I really need some motivation. I rewarded myself by basically eating anything and everything I wanted to after finishing my first Leadville last year, and carried that eating momentum through the holiday season as my activity level dropped off significantly in the off season. I haven’t actually stepped on a scale, but pretty sure I’m about as heavy as I have been since the start of this decade. Let’s do this!

Yea, this looks good. Pricey month but I’ll fill this out for now. Were you at the Sky High Pizza place Sunday after the Leadville 100? I think you were sitting next to my family and I with yours but I didn’t recognize you. You weren’t “fat!”

Done and done! Excited to have even more motivation to lose the “mid-forties fifteen” and not feel like a sausage in my cycling bibs.

This is exactly what I need to get back on track and ready for the first gravel race of 2019! Thanks for organizing this fatty [soon to be called skinny]!!!

My dog is insisting I sign up, but I’m not keen on revealing my personal details publicly.

Can I register as leroy’s dog so everyone thinks he packed on the pounds?

My dog has been putting on some weight, too. We might have to add a canine category. – FC

The question is, will there be updates on here?!?

Fatty, I’ll definitely look for the ‘race weight’ competition notice in early spring.

Yep, I’ll be updating on the blog. – FC

This is perfect! I’m down 26 pounds, but still have 20-30 to lose! Looking forward to the accountability and victories from/for us all! And of course the bonus of being for a very excellent cause. Thanks, Elden!
