Final Weigh In: Happy Easter!


Evil Easter Bunny says "Good luck not turning back into fatties!"

How do I write a post that truly wraps up this glorious competition?  Like I'm a writer, how the hell do I know.  Why don't we step back in time and take a look at the 2 fatties that were competing pre-competition.

Back on January 6th, when we got under way, Shawn weighed a robust 141.  Not good.  Fatty Matty nearly broke the scale at 216.4.  It was time to make some changes.  Here comes a tangent:

A week before we decided to do this competition, Fatty Matty drove to CVS and purchased, not 1 pack of Biscoff cookies, but 2.  As seen below:

I finished both packages in 24 hours, probably less than that, but let's round up so it is less sad.  Anyway, its not difficult to figure out how Fatty Matty got to be fat.

Needless to say, we both needed to drop a few pounds and change our lifestyles.  Here is a before pic of the two of us prior to the competition:


We were really more fat than we look.  Should've done some highly embarrassing before pics.  Next time...

Take a look at our initial weigh in pics:

Matt (216.4)

Shawn (141)


Even our feet look fat!

Well, I'm happy to say, we made it.  Neither party quit for even a second.  We both had our good weeks and bad weeks.  Here are some stats, ignoring the final week just to make you read this whole diatribe:

Matt 

Best Week: Week 4, 5.2 lbs LOST, 2.46 % LOST
Worst Week: Week 3, 1.4 lbs GAINED, 0.67 % GAINED

Shawn

Best Week: Week 10, 4 lbs LOST, 3 % LOST(Amazing)
Worst Week:  Week 9, 2 lbs GAINED, 1.52 % GAINED

So, who won?

Final Weigh In:

Matt: 184.6 (-7.6 lbs)



Shawn: 128 (-0.5 lbs)

Week 13 weigh in: 1 week to go in this madness





Attention all interested parties.  We have amended the competition to end on Easter morning.  

And here we are....nearing the end of a long and I think it is safe to say...fruitful journey.

This weigh in is going to tell us exactly how much Shawn is going to have to workout/throw up this week.  I'd be lying if I told you I was just going to coast to the finish line.  I know that won't work.  I know Shawn has something up her sleeves.  So, I have something up my sleeves too.  I'm going to workout 2 times a day every day until Sunday.  

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

I figure, Shawn won't give up and she will just about kill herself to catch me.  If I workout 2 times a day, she'll have to work out 3 times a day, which sounds super hard to do.  

No matter what the scales say on Sunday, I'm super proud of both of us.  Nobody quit during this competition and if I didn't have Shawn, I'm sure I wouldn't have stayed as motivated.  I hope she'll say the same about me.

On to the last weigh in before the last weigh in:


Matt: 192.2 (-2.2 lbs)

Shawn: 128.5 (-0.5 lbs)

Okay, so now we have the stage for the final week.  What does Shawn need to do to takeover the lead, it's actually not nearly as tough as you might be thinking:

Scenario 1:

Matt stays the same weight (192.2).
Shawn needs to lose 3.5 lbs and finish at 125 to win.

Scenario 2: 

Matt loses 1.0 lbs
Shawn ties if she loses 4 lbs
Shawn wins with 4.5 lbs or more

Before anyone says "But that is a lot of weight to lose in 1 week"....Shawn has already lost 4 lbs in 1 week.  Week 10.

This crap ain't over!

I think it is time to stop eating bacon for a week!
