Weight Loss Challenge

So Amy and I have been in a weight loss challenge for the past couple of months, with the loser buying the post-marathon burgers.  Well, since we are about to start our carb loading, yesterday was the final weigh in. 

Here are my results...

Initial weigh in:  185.6 lbs
Final weigh in:  172.4 lbs 
Difference:  13.2 lbs

Glancing over at Amy's  blog, it looks as if I have come out the victor today...

Since I bought my body fat scale (8-10-08) vs. (4-13-09)

Weight:                204  -  172.4 lbs.
Body Fat %:         25.0  -  17.1 %
Body Water %:   53.1  -  58.2 %
BMR                   3698 -  3454  kCal
Metabolic age:     46  -  23  years

I'm pretty happy with that progress.  In fact, I am now below my weight on my driver's license, which I renewed back in 2002 when I turned 21.  In the future I hope to incorporate more lifting to help with the trails and to tone up a bit.  I'd like to get down to 165 lbs. or so (my high school football weight) if I want to ever try for Boston.  Now, however, is not the time to talk about that.  I'm getting my mind psyched for St. Louis on Sunday!!!!!!

Congrats to Amy on her continuing progress, but Sunday I'd like a double cheeseburger, loaded, side of fries, onion rings, and a big shake, flavor to be determined later.

Dude! 13 pounds???? That is awesome! Congrats.

Jeez. You crushed me.

But... you ARE younger than me... and a guy. That has to count for something, right?? ;)

Just kidding. Well done.
