Are you fat like I am?

You tired of people poking your belly and asking you to laugh like the Pillsbury Dough Boy? I am. Last year I had weighed around 185lbs, not my lightest, but certainly less than what I am now. I had this AWESOME idea of gaining weight in order to compete in the 200 Club for the Winter Series. So that meant I allowed myself to lose control of my eating and the lack of discipline caused me to balloon up to 208lbs…yeah I know…its bad.

Though I told myself that I’d lose my “racing fat” after the Winter Series, I’ve yet to drop any weight. I’m what you call one of those emotional eaters and honestly its very difficult for me to lose weight since its more than just working out and eating less. To me it gets super complicated and often give into my emotional needs that turn towards food.

So now I’m at the cross roads which I have been to many times over and over again. I want to lose the weight and I’m at a point that I’m fed up with it. But what makes this time around different from all the other times that I’ve tried weight loss? Well here’s the deal, I’m hear to challenge our readers to a weight loss challenge. Much like how I challenge Vince Rodarte of KHS Bicycles to a weightloss wager last year. But this time, I’m opening it up for all of our readers.

How will this work? Simple, I will accept up to 5 challengers and I’ll make this interesting. If you win the challenge, you might just win some sort of “grand prize!” If I win, you will be required to name your first born or at least a family pet as “RLaunceston.” Fair enough right?

Anyhow, if you are “serious” and would like the opportunity to win something cool, then leave a comment below and we’ll get this party started!
