Dear Awesome Steemians, (but perhaps a little overweight and considering losing a few pounds),
Watching my son do a 'split-press-to-handstand' yesterday made me realise that at some stage over my past 39 years I had become a FAT BUGGER.
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sirknight/the-split-press-to-handstand-by-gymnastics-boy
And the scales this morning backed up this theory...
A big 96.8 kilograms!
Some of you might understand this better as 213 pounds or 15.25 stone!!
Now this might be ok if you are 6'5" but I am about 5'10" or 178 cm - so to be healthy it is time for me to drop at least 10% of my body-weight - at least.
So I am setting myself a goal - I want to lose 12 kilograms (26 pounds) in 12 weeks - my target weight 85kgs
Now I can do this alone - but I am more likely to be successful attempting this goal with others.
The Challenge!
I challenge you to set a weight loss target for yourself and we seek to achieve our targets together!
If you would like to participate - we simply:
- Post your 12 week weight-loss target to tag 'weightlosschallenge'. Include current weight and perhaps scale picture.
- Once a week we post our new weights and your thoughts on how you are going - again tagged to 'weightlosschallenge'
- Share healthy meal ideas and exercise suggestions pictures etc - to 'weightlosschallenge'
- Check in on the 'weightlosschallenge' tag every couple of days to support one another.
I have no doubt that as a small group within this STEEMIT community we will meet our personal health goals. We will also meet a few new people, gain a few followers and earn plenty of STEEM together.
I understand that there are a number of fitness and health Steemians on the platform who might be able to drop us a few healthy hints and and tips from time to time.
Reply if you are interested and if we get enough I might start compiling our names and targets on a spreadsheet to track our performance.
United we can achieve anything.
Good luck! I need to do this soon!
Will be following your progress :D

Hey mate - we haven't got much traction in the first 30 minutes - perhaps it needs a resteem. If you wouldn't mind. SK.

Hmmm.. this is not a bad idea at all! I might even join to this :D
But I really don't need to lose weight, maybe just a kilo or two ;)
I just need to get my muscles back , I've been so lazy past 6 months :(

wait.... uhm.... my washing just broke down, I will have to repair it over the next months and wont be able to participate or talk about weight loss. xD
Maybe I will do some healthy cooking and exercises and share it, but I'm not in the modd for a hardcore diet and sports program. Tbh it would be a great improvement already if I dont sit in front of the PC all day and eat potato chips ;D.

Do you want a Witness vote btw TGD?

Mhhh, I haven't looked too deep into the witness program, they are sort of our government right? Well, since I want to rule the world some day, I would appreciate the vote, but I doubt I will be a witness any time soon.

Tried to vote for you dude but you don't appear to qualify. Sorry. Your campaign for world domination might have to be put on hold a little while longer.
SK.

Good on ya mate. I'm rooting for ya. I've just realised I'm talking to an Aussie and it sounds like I'm shagging for ya to a Brit 😆
Seriously dude, good luck, I'm 5' 10" and got to 110kg when I was 44.
I started eating better and throwing in a bit of exercise and did OK.
Check this I posted earlier. A picture taken by my Mrs a couple of years ago when I'd got to where I wanted.

One bit of advice though, don't lose it too quick it comes back easily. Be realistic and it's easy to keep it up.
Best of luck buddy.

Thanks TP - I will be trying to change my eating habits going forward - smaller meals, more fruit and veggies and I am hoping that 1 kilo a week is not too bigger ask. Looking good in the photo mate! SK.

So this is where the 'tremendos' in 'tremendos percy' comes from - I have often wondered. ;) Tell me Bratwurst, do you want to be a Witness? Check out my recent post - you want a vote you got one - but not sure what you need to do to qualify. SK.
