Week 4 weigh in: The suicide watch is over....for now

Week 4...we can we really say about Week 4 that hasn't already been said.  It is a glorious week, filled with Happy Cheesebugers and weight loss.  Week 3 was a dark place...a sad place.  Let's act like a Patriots fans do about Cheater Gate...we'll pretend it didn't happen.  Let's see how we did:

Matt - 206.6

Shawn - 134.5

The return of the grid...I was just too depressed to mess with it last week.

Uh oh!  Now Matt not only owns the Most Pathetic week, but also the Mostest Awesomest Week as well.  Unfortunately, Shawn just continues to grind down the lbs.  As you can see, we have a long way to go.  Pretty awesome results so far for these 2 fattys.

Looking ahead

This week will present some challenges as it is Super Bowl week.  Will Matt and Shawn resist the delicious urges at the Super Bowl party this weekend?  Tune in next week...same Bat Time...same Bat Channel.

Week 3 weigh in a.k.a. The Day of Sadness

Well, I guess this was bound to happen.  We didn't have a great week.  One of us did lose weight (Shawn), though it was minimal.  The other gained weight (Matt).  I think it is safe to say that both parties were VERY disappointed during weigh in this morning.  I suppose I prefer to look at this like a temporary plateau that we both have now located.  I can only speak for myself, but I followed my diet to the tee this week.  My only explanation is the continued consumption of beer during the NFL playoffs and a business trip.

Here is a better explanation...

Maybe we both are just SO BAD-ASS that we gained too much muscle this week.  We simply didn't lose enough fat to make up for the gained weight of muscle.  Obviously, we all know, muscle is heavier than fat.  Isn't it funny that you only hear this after someone gained weight?  Whatevs.

Onto the next week!

For all you sick people who want to see our failures in glorious color...

Matt - 211.8

Shawn - 136.0

I'm too depressed to mess with HTML today.  Here is a link to the spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AklM5jDCUDzYdDZUdWZ1VTRmY3YzRFZ4eGd4bG13TlE

The current percentage lost is as follows:

Matt - 2.12 %
Shawn - 3.59 %

If this keeps up...I'm going to two fingers.

Week 2 weigh in...and the case of the bacon

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It was the best of times for parties and friends this week.  It was the worst of times for trying to stay healthy and keep the weight dripping off.  I think it is safe to say that beer was much too high a percentage of calories taken in this past week and we'll probably need to get back on the veggie train as well.

Excuses out of the way...on to the weigh in!

Matt - 210.4

Shawn - 136.5

This week Matt has the stronger week, but Shawn maintains her lead from last week.  It looks like the trip to IHOP didn't cost her as much....so far...duh duh duuhhh.

We may have a real competition on our hands!

Week 1 Weigh In

Although week 1 is a short week, it gives someone an opportunity to jump out to a quick lead.  That person is Shawn!

She lost a strong 2 lbs in the couple of days. Matt lost a solid 1.8 lbs, but in the grand scheme of things, that is going to be a decent lead for Shawn.

The beginning of a glorious competition

Today Shawn and I embarked on a competition.  A Biggest Loser competition.

Outline of competition:

• From January 6, 2012 to April 11, 2012, Matt and Shawn will compete to lose the highest percentage of body weight.  
• Weigh ins will take place every Monday morning (naked).  Photo sent to other party via text message for proof.  
• Same scale to be used throughout the competition.
• Spreadsheet will be used to track results.

At stake:

The loser of this competition (least percentage of weight loss) will buy the winner a dinner at Texas de Brazil.  We shall refer to the prize as the Meat Fiesta!

Initial Weigh In:

Matt (216.4)

Shawn (141.0)

Good luck to all involved!
