Oh hai dere. Is this where the wagon is? Fell off a ways back. In.

[TruNinja619]

PM'd

[krete77]

Guys, just as a reminder. I wasn't kidding in my OP when I said that I'm ignoring anyone that submits improperly.

The rules for submission are extremely simple. Please follow them.

Thanks

[Paneetius]

Already cutting, but I will join anyways )

[BaseJumper]

I'm already cutting. What if I start the challenge with less than 107kg? Should I PM Krete again?

[fbritoe]

Keep in mind it's all about calories. Just wanted to make sure you know this because you make it sound like you're relying purely on working out for weight loss which is possible under the right conditions but counting calories for assurance is highly recommended.

Oh yeah, I should've said I've been counting calories and working out for a month. I've been reading a lot on bodyspace, so I'm paying attention to eating at a deficit. Not so focused on the right macros for now, though. Thanks for your concern!

Is there a confirmation through pm if we're in it or not?

[krete77]

Nope.

If you follow the rules you have nothing to worry about.

Also, if your name doesn't appear on the spreadsheet then submission was incorrect also.

I started cutting 3 weeks ago, In on this. I will not quit, I swear on everything that is holy to me that I'll finish this comp and finally get the physique I want.

[missladyj]

I copy and pasted [your_name] - [xxx] - FAT LOSS COMP, filled in with my info and put it in the subject line but I'm not on the list...read the directions over and over but not sure what I did wrong?

EDIT: just saw that new spreadsheet isn't linked lol

Will be available Oct 1st and anyone can make any submission changes if they see something wrong.

[rmendozajr]

^ There's one of our last survivors now.

Take a good look around because the people you see in here are 90% likely to drop

[matman1813]

I'll have to update my weight on Oct 1st. Already lost 6lbs since my last weigh in.

[jtrip007]

I'm in. This is my first cut. Will be a great way to keep me accountable.

For those actually competing you and everyone else should submit their weight on the 1st. I noticed in the last competition that some people lost a great deal of weight the first week. It was actually 2 or more weeks worth of weight loss rolled into one week. Don't cheat, you are only lying to yourself. Just my 2 cents.

[stingray72]

Im in pm sent with my info

Could be water weight from initial calorie drop.

I'll try to be a bit more clear. If you submitted your weight 2 weeks before the competition started, lost weight for two weeks + the first week of the competition you will be reporting 3 weeks of weight loss. If you lose weight like I did when I started, you could be reporting 10 pounds lost for the first week. Are you being accurate? Of course not. You didn't loss 10 pounds in a week. I really don't care what you do, in the end you really are only lying to yourself.

For me, I'll report my weight on the 1st. I want to be accurate. I'm not doing this for anyone but myself. The competition is a welcome distraction and a place to share experiences and hopefully keep people motivated. Accountability may help some people stay on track or get them back on track if they fall off the rails, which most people seem to do. In the end, it is all about YOU. YOU choose to exercise. YOU choose to put the f'n fork down. YOU choose.

This is why I don't understand submitting your weight on any day but start day. I'll be sending my PM on October 1st, I don't see why anyone would do anything different it just makes no sense.

I skimmed over your first post and didn't grasp the meaning.

This is literally all I read, lol.

I agree to this. It's obvious but if I say to submit on the first day, most will forget. This way, we got a lot of entrants in.

But, it makes 100% more sense to submit on start day, but whatev.

[stingray72]

Im not worried about winning just meeting my goals and helping others meet theirs. I resent my info krete77.

[BiggCas]

Count Me In......Gonna start cutting on the 1st.....Need all the motivation I need. Will submit weight in on the 1st.

[CAP1868]

In...let's do this!

[krete77]

I'm thinking about creating weight divisions so that a person can win in his/her own division. Because realistically, if someone is 300lbs and someone is 180lbs they are obviously not going to be losing the same weight, thus the bigger guy having an unfair advantage.

Going to go into the think tank for a little while and figure this one out

[Naughtie]

I am in at 100KGs. Want to be at 85 on Jan 1st.

[BaseJumper]

Krete, just to get it straight:
I already sent you my weight, but I'm losing weight.
Should I send it to you again in the october 1st?

Thansk

[Striation]

Let's do this! May help with the motivation required to get to 10% and below! ****ed up macro cut will continue!

[Dutchie1972]

IMO, everybody should submit their weight on 1 October. People who can't remember to start on the right date are likely to drop out anyway. If you cant make it on the first, do it on the second. Anyway, Krete is in charge here, just my two cents.
