Losing weight is fun.
…said no one ever.
We made a deal and accepted the Fat Mactory Challenge two weeks ago (details here). We’re not backing down from the challenge, either.
In fact, there’s some progress across the board! Woo!
Since we’re two weeks in, we figured it’d be a good time to provide an update.
Here’s where we stand:
Fat Mactory Challenge Update No. 1:
- Ryan | Starting Weight: 241.2 | Current Weight: 232.4 | Goal Weight: 205 | 27.4 pounds to lose
- Hunter | Starting Weight: 241.4 | Current Weight: 229.6 | Goal Weight: 205 | 24.6 pounds to lose
- Jim | Starting Weight: 220.0 | Current Weight: 209.0 | Goal Weight: 185 | 24.0 pounds to lose
- Dylan | Starting Weight: 225.8 | Current Weight: 221.8 | Goal Weight: 205 | 16.8 pounds to lose
- DannyPalm | Starting Weight: 198.0 | Current Weight: 195.6 | Goal Weight: 185 | 10.6 pounds to lose
Who likes math?
I don’t –– but I’m going to do some for you anyway to put this into context.
Obviously, the old guard –– myself, Ryan, and Jim –– has the most left to lose.
But the young bucks –– Dylan and DannyPalm –– don’t seem to be trying. Their pace is pathetic, frankly. They’re Johny Hendricks and Anthony Johnson over here. Unreal. The audacity of kids these days…
Let’s crunch some numbers further. We have 37 days left, so…
- Ryan | 8.8 pounds lost in 14 days = 0.63 pounds per day | On pace to lose 23.31 pounds more … He will miss weight at his current rate.
- Hunter | 11.8 pounds lost in 14 days = 0.84 pounds per day | On pace to lose 31.18 pounds more … He will make weight at his current rate.
- Jim | 11.0 pounds lost in 14 days = 0.79 pounds per day | On pace to lose 29.01 pounds more … He will make weight at his current rate.
- Dylan | 4.0 pounds lost in 14 days = 0.29 pounds per day | On pace to lose 10.57 pounds more … He will miss weight at his current rate.
- DannyPalm | 2.4 pounds lost in 14 days = 0.17 pounds per day | On pace to lose 6.34 pounds more … He will miss weight at his current rate.
Wow.
That’s not the standard we wanna set, gentlemen.
Only two of us –– myself and Jim –– are on track to make weight at our current rates. It’s about to get serious. Can the rest of the crew turn it around and hit the mark on Dec. 16?
We’re about to find out. Stay tuned.
