7 Pound Turkey Challenge

When is Thanksgiving?

every day I don't wake up dead

Well, I figure I need to get in shape any time fall rolls around because I'm reminded of Partial's infamous and totally edited thread that started it all. Since someone dropped that he's now in training to become a ninja, and considering the previous threats he's made on my life, I need to outfit my body to offer any kind of response that would save my life if I meet him on the street.

So, to meet this monumental challenge, I've decided to lose 7 or 12 pounds by Thanksgiving. I worked out several times a week during the summer, sometimes pushing myself to a moderate level of exhaustion. The result was a loss of twenty pounds. Granted, I was a fat fuck. Anyway, after vacation, I decided to let my body rest. Two months later, I'm ready to prepare for that final battle, which will inevitably come.

Weight: 201.4
Breakfast: Peanut butter and jelly on some bread with nuts in it. Milk.
Lunch: Water.
Diner: Big Mac, double cheeseburger, large french fry, tortilla chips with jalepeno cheese dip, a slice of a cookie cake and a bottle of wine.
Excercise: none

I will be using some new techniques this time, including a testosterone supplement, which is mostly just zinc and B vitamins to make you feel like you've got bigger balls, No-Xplode, and whey protein.

When will you determine if it's 7 or 12; I need to know whether or not I want to engage in this thread.

So...just to clarify..did you have a Big Mac and a double cheese-burger, or a Big Mac which is technically a double cheese-burger? Also...what is a "cookie cake"? Is that just a pet name for your wife?

[Freak Out]

If I decide to join in the challenge can I lie about my starting weight?

[Little Whiskey]

Must you do your squats past 90 degrees in order to compete in the challenge?

[Little Whiskey]

must all weight loss be tracked on an Apple product?

[HowardRoark]

I just hurt my shoulder.

I'm out.

I recommend timing your pig-outs earlier in the day when your metabolism is still relatively high and you still have miles to go before you sleep. You might even be able to squeeze in an extra fishwich from the Milwaukee River if you go that route.

WTF are you all talking about?

Both. No use eating McDonalds if you only half-ass it. Also, you may start with a "relative weight." You may call it your own Zero, FOZero. You can then refer to your progress, or lack thereof, in terms of FOZero+3, or FOZero-5. Then we won't mock you. At all. Because we are all responsible, supportive teammates who offer advice on things like squats and lifting needlessly heavy freeweights in a repetitive manner with no real-world equivalent.

It's a yearly thread. Weigh yourself, put up what you ate during the day and what exercise you did. Putting it into writing makes you realize how much you eat and how little you exercise and might help change the trend.

Whatever. I just don't want to die when Partial finds me.

He can dead lift your body weight with ease. You're screwed. Literally and figuratively.
