Ten Days to Go

12.14.2010 | 10:44 am

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this (that’s not true; I realize I’ve mentioned it endlessly), but this blog is not my job. You see, I have a regular ol’ full-time job. One that pays the bills and allows me to send my kids to college and stuff.

And I’m at the end of quarter right now, with a big project that needs to be done. Soon. As in, I’m going to be working both early and late on it for a while.

So I’m going to be posting kinda short stuff, and maybe kinda infrequently for the next week or two. Or three.

That said, there are a few things I wanted to (quickly) mention:

Update on the “Help Andreas Knickman Fight Bone Cancer, Tour Italy with Andy-Freaking-Hampsten” Contest

Yesterday I launched a new contest where, by helping out a teenage boy with bone cancerdon’t need to do that name thing, you can win a tour of Italy with Andy Hampsten, for crying out loud.

So far, more than eighty of you have donated, and you’ve raised around $2000. That’s a good start. But you know, considering this is a contest to tour Italy by bike with a cycling legend as your tour guide, it’s not really what I expected.

So today, I’d like to ask those of you who are participating in the “Let’s Lose Ten Pounds by Christmas” challenge to consider donating $10 to the Andreas Knickman fund, as a sort of optional entry fee. And yes, that $10 definitely is eligible for the big prize — touring with Andy Hampsten (and probably The Runner and me, unless you really don’t want us to come).

Click here to go to Paypal and donate:

Note: Yesterday I asked you, when you donated, to indicate it’s for Andreas Knickman. Several of you commented that you had forgotten to do this, which is totally understandable. Don’t worry about it. All donations to this foundation during the contest period will go toward the contest and will be eligible for the prizes. And The confirmation message you receive will indicate you paid a “Firefighters Fund”. That’s the one! Roy Knickman is a firefighter in Santa Maria, and his unit is behind his kid all the way. Cool?

I’ve Stalled Out

I weighed myself today, and — much to my non-surprise — I have gained a pound since last week, bringing me to 169.4 pounds.

Why have I gained a pound? Well, part of it is that it’s just not easy to lose weight during the Winter, seeing as how my favorite way to lose weight is to go on long bike rides, and it has been a cold, rainy, sleety Fall so far.

The other part of it is that, in order to escape aforementioned cold, rainy, sleety Fall last weekend, The Runner and I got out of town. We went to St. George, UT, where we were able to ride in beautiful, sunny, warm desert country in our brand-spanking-new Fat Cyclist gear for a couple of days. Check me out:

Now check us out:

Please stop noticing how hard I’m sucking in my gut in that picture for a moment, and get a good look at the incredible job Brent and Ryan at Twin Six did in designing everything this year. I swear, it is the best-looking, best-fitting Team Fatty collection there has ever been. In particular, both The Runner and I have been loving the long-sleeve jersey (in women’s too) — it’s a breathable, fleeced fabric I’m wearing pretty much every time I ride right now. I also love the socks: tall and merino wool. I bought six pair and wear them all the time, including when I’m not on my bike.

And, ahem, all Team Fatty gear is for sale and would make delightful Christmas presents.

But anyway, back to my weight. Why would I weigh more after a weekend of riding? Well, it has something to do, I think, with the fact that after I ride, I’m hungry. And when I’m not at home, the only place to eat would be at restaurants.

You see where I’m going with this, right?

But no more excuses. I’ve got six pounds to lose in less than nine days. It won’t be easy, but I swear: I will do it.

And now it’s turn for those of you participating in the Lose Ten Pounds By Christmas challenge to weigh in. Like before, give the following:

1. Your starting weight
2. Your current weight
3. Total amount lost

And then, after you enter your weight, please do something good for a kid who’s fighting hard against bone cancer and donate $10. Here’s the link again:

Thanks!

PS: For those of you wondering about Team Fatty and what we’re going to be doing next year, stay tuned; I’ll be detailing my plans very soon — late this week or early next week, just depending on when I can get time to think it through and write it down.

    Only lost 1 lb this last week, but it was the office Christmas party, so I’m not too concerned. If I resort to extreme measures and lose more than 2.5 lbs a week I’ll just gain it back as soon as the contest’s over anyways.

24. Comment by Erik | 12.14.2010 | 11:03 am

    And BTW, the Team Fatty Gear at Twin Six is showing sold out. Glad I got my warm weather gear before Austin, but would love a LS Jersey in 3XL for Christmas. HINT.

    Starting Weight: OY!

    12/13 minus 11 pounds
    Net Loss – 11 pounds

    We donated yesterday to the Knickman family but we’ll throw another $50 in there for good measure.

    Now that I am in high gear on my healthy eating plan (aka diet), I am expecting to lose another 5-7 pounds before this is over, but again, when you are really heavy, that’s not nearly as impressive as someone mid-weight having to lose 10 pounds.

    Still, my knees already feel better!

67. Comment by oheckler | 12.14.2010 | 11:26 am

    Had we been able to weigh in yesterday as planned I would have gone from 168.4 to 162.4 for a total weight loss of 6 lbs. putting me right on schedule. Regrettably we had family come visit us from out of state last night. Pizza, beer and holliday cookies flowed freely. So now I have gained back a pound. Curse you Fatty and your incessant need to do wonderful things for people and your awesome giveaways!

    Initial weigh in: 168.4

    Nearly there. I think I can do it with the week left — if the holiday cookie baking bonanza this weekend doesn’t do me in

    And thanks again for the push. Been wanting to get back on the fitness track for a while but had stalled after a pretty good summer of riding but not watching what I ate. Now I’m exercising and eating right and darn if it don’t work.

    If “Lose 10 lbs by Christmas” really means “Trick Yourself into psuedo-dieting so you don’t Gain 10 lbs by Christmas”, then I’m winning!

    Although I suspect that I will be much, much lighter after I complete the proposed “9 Hours on the Trainer Watching All 3 Lord of the Rings Movies” with my cycling team…..

    It was the beef I bought at a non local market. I swear. Oh the gravy, it was covered in gravy. Other members in my family ate the same beef. I can show you the receipt. They somehow didn’t lose any weight though.

    I’ve had a bit of a setback. And I’m not sure why. I’ve actually been good about exercise and eating. Well I guess all that means is that the next 10 days are going to suck.

     Counting calories has helped me, and the fact that I used to eat a pack of pop tarts each morning for 400 calories in one shot. Last week I pounded water at work instead of diet cokes and really felt a solid change.

     Let me state that this has not been easy. My weight had bounced around by as much as 2-3lbs. at weigh in times. I’ve been as low as 184.0 and as high as 186.3 the past 3 days. I’m working out like a dog 5x a week. I’ve even resorted to running…..good heavens what’s wrong with me!!?? At this rate I might lose 10lbs. or I could just give up and drink beer…..I miss beer. Off to make a donation later today.

     I’m probably not going to get to the 10 pounds this month, but at least I’m not going up. Gotta get some exercise in this week–last week I walked my legs off at a convention next door to Disneyland where it was 60 degrees. This week I’m back home and it is snowing and 20 degrees. Not very inspiring, but at least my roof is holding up better than the Metrodome’s. Good luck to everyone. I’m not giving up my Diet Coke!

     Unfortunately this was primarily a result of a bout of stomach flu and lost appetite due to strep throat. But I’m healthy again and trying to keep the weight (and food) down.

     On my way to donate now.

     I’m not participating in the weightloss challenge (nursing my son means I can eat all the chocolate chip pumpkin bread I want and not gain weight… but it also means I can’t lose weight to save my life), but I did want to say that The Runner looks GORGEOUS in that last picture. Those team kits really do look amazing!

     Exactly half way….and I know I can make the rest of it in the next week or so. Smaller portions, no booze and starving most of the weekend got me here; a little more pain is nothing compared to cancer and chemo!!!

     I received an AmEx gift card in yesterday’s mail unexpectedly, so I am paying it forward and putting it toward Andreas’ fund.

     Of course, it is about time I won something, so what better Christmas gift than knowing I will be cycling with the Fatties in Europe next year!

     Camped out this weekend for a trail race, which put my food a little out of my control. I could justify the three pieces of pizza after the run, but perhaps not the strawberry white chocolate muffin the next day. Still, trending the right direction, so it’s a win!

     Feeling good. My caloric intake vs. output should have me at a greater loss than this, but I’ll take it. I still on target for 10 by Christmas. I also try to keep in mind that my fight to loss a few stupid pounds is mere peanuts compared to what folks like Andreas have to go through. I also just learned that a close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks for the motivation! Keep those with greater struggles in your thoughts and prayers and love your family and friends like there is no tomorrow.

     Moving in the right direction, but 8 pounds in 10 days will be tough without starving and risking a rebound. But for the chance at some second-hand Fat Cyclist swag it’s totally worth it!

     Start: 76 kg (167.5 pounds)
     Now: 72.8 kg (160.5 pounds)
     Lost: 3.2 kg (7 pounds)

     I’m so happy the weight is coming off so fast. I’ve never lost more than two pounds a week before, clearly my body knows those seven pounds were excess. I’m even finding I don’t crave sugar like I used to. I do miss beer though. Christmas Eve is gonna be interesting after a 24 day alcohol banishment.

     As for Andreas, I do want to donate, but I currently have €2.65 in my bank account, and I don’t get paid until the 25th. So while I won’t be eligible to win, I will pay the entry fee (late).

     Just donated $30—$10 for me, $10 for my husband (also participating) and another $10 for good measure.

     Woohoo! I am quite sure there is no way I can lose another 5 pounds before the contest ends, but I am still SO psyched that I am trying. I went to a Christmas party today and ate NOTHING – not a single cookie. If it wasnt for this contest, I would be inching over 150 instead of towards 140, so I have to say thanks, Elden, for the motivation. Because no matter how good those cookies are, a spanking new Trek would be better.

     11/30 – 172.4
     12/6 – 170.2
     12/13 – 170.8
     Total Weight Loss – 1.6 lbs.

     Lucky for me, there wasn’t an official weigh-in on Saturday; I went for my first run in about 4 months on Thursday, and the trauma induced edema had me gain about 2 lbs. Hopefully, I’m on the mend and I’ll end this stupid backslide.

335. Comment by Jim | 12.14.2010 | 5:18 pm

     I’m stalling too…

     starting – 173
     now – 168

     I thinks it’s a little early for me to hit racing weight. I’ll probably be 2 pounds short. Or to be honest, if I do make it, it will be short lived.

     Started at 165 and I’m tipping it at 158 now! 3 pounds from eating the entire christmas ham.

     I weighed myself on my own scale again, and the results were more in-line with my expectations.

     Start: 175.5
     Week 1: 169.5
     Week 2: 169
     Loss to date: 6.5 lbs

     The plateauing was not due to actual plateauing, but to the scale used for week 2.

     The parties were brutal! Cookies, cake, rolls, roast beef… moderation in all things. Oh, and I got a huge blister back counrty skiing on Saturday so keeping up with the weight loss will be hard without wearing shoes with heels.

342. Comment by TassieRambler | 12.14.2010 | 5:31 pm

     Started 102.6 kg (225.7pounds)
     Last week 101.7kg
     Today 99.5kg (Yay, under the metric century!) = 218.9 pounds

     Loss so far: 6.8pounds, which sounds so much bigger than 2.1kgs.

     Big thing for me though is that since I started following this blog and Jill Homer’s blog just over 3 months ago, I’ve been inspired to drop a total of 16.2kg or 36.7 pounds and get under the 100kg mark which was my goal before the New Years. Thrilled.

     PS. Correction on my previous way-in on the start weight. I incorrectly put 239.9 lbs instead of 237 lbs (my initial weigh-in weight) as I was 239.9 a week earlier. So the correct start weight on day 1 was 237 lbs (a real fat cyclist)

     I posted on the wrong article, so I am repeating myself here…

     Well, I weighed myself yesterday and was disappointed to see only a 1 pound loss since I stared on 12/6. I’ve been working my butt off…

     Today I weighed again and was happy to see 2.5 off, I weighed myself 3 times just to be sure. Yesterday must have been a fluke.

     Total kicked to the curb: 10.8

     I only get on the scale on “weigh in” days. Until then cross training workouts twice a day, watching what I eat, hydrate, and making every little bit of some sort of exercise count. Today,I weighed myself in the morning and evening for verification. I even took a picture for proof & submission (my 4 year old enjoys those scale memory buttons). I have told people about losing weight. Their first reaction is “wrong time of year to do that”. I agree it is crazy, and more of a reason to do it. This has driven me more and keeps myself in check. Why pack on “December pounds” then suffer even more to shed them? That idea sounds more twisted! It’s not about a contest but more about pushing yourself to new limits. I’m almost back to my lowest “summer weight” in years of 171 and now want to get into the 160s by 1/1/11. Thanks “Non-Fat” Fatty for the extra motivation!

     Last week was spent working at cross purposes. Gave blood last Thursday and needed to eat more for a couple days.

     And with all this exercise, I am gaining muscle. But I’m happy with the results: 1 inch off both my waist and hips and 1/2 inch off my thighs. I feel great too!

     Ate a pint of Ben & Jerry’s to calm my nerves after T^ informed me that FedEx lost my entire order of Fatty Gear. T6 replaced the order except for the XXL Long Sleeve jersey, which is now out-of-stock. just got the new shipment in the mail, and I agree, the stuff is slammin’! Makes me po’d at FedEx that much more! Might need another pint!

     I’m going to keep on going to see how far I can get. I’m guessing that 15 lbs should not be out of reach.

     Well of course you weigh less at altitude..”Bykjunkie | 12.14.2010 | 9:12 pm

     Ok, so I returned home tonight. I left 29 Palms CA and returned to Cherry Point NC. Apparently I was lighter at elevation because I gained a pound when I weighed in on the east coast.”

     Imagine what Fatty would weigh on the moon! Those of us at sea level just have to toil away. I’m also expecting the earth to spin faster once it has lost all this weight, spring is coming that much sooner! Also have question for TWIN SIX, .. are there Team Fatty Suspenders to celebrate this event?
     My son has brought home a virus tonight so I think the weight loss should be a snap, once all the -rheas have run their course.

     My wife (no 1) informed me that this contest is to lose 10 lbs by Christmas….THIS YEAR!!! Back to work.

     Up 1.0 from last week. Doesn’t look good. Parties 3 nights in row probably had something to do with it.

     Yep, that’s right, I gained back the 4 pounds I lost. Luckily I didn’t have to report yesterday, because I was actually up to 303. I’m having some water retention issues from a change in my thyroid meds, but I’m confident that I’ll rapidly lose this and still be able to make my goal by Xmas!

     It should be noted that the stomach flu last week had me down 12 lbs, and I have since gained 2 back. But 145 was my pre-pregnancy weight, and is healthy for me, so I am happy! Just need to maintain it …

     The secret to this week’s result? It’s summer here in Aus (around 35 degrees celsius and 80-90% humidity), and the squash courts aren’t air conditioned. Ouch.

     And now for the walk of shame:
     Start 194.2
     Week One 190.6 for a loss of 3.6 (yes this is good)
     Week Two 191.6 for a loss of -1 and an overall loss of 2.6

     I thought 10 lbs would be a reach, since I just returned from a 2-week vacation to India with lots of weddin’ feastin’. However, I underestimated the impact of stomach flu. Thanks, acute gastroenteritis! I now feel confident that I can barf out that remaining 3.5 lbs effortlessly.

     Where are the other final day weigh-in results?

     Starting weight on 12/8/10 -231
     12/13/10 -225.5
     12/20/10 -225
     12/23/10 -224.5
     I did not make 10 pounds the by last weigh-in…
     But, 9 pounds in a little over 3 weeks is not too bad.
     12/24/10 -222
     As I mentioned before, my ultimate goal is to get below 200. 45 minutes and 9.32 miles on the indoor trainer just now. A balmy 55 degrees in the garage.
     Merry Christmas to all. And, to all a good night.
